ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an environmental impact statement. AGENCY: We, NMFS, intend to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), in accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), to analyze the potential impacts on the human (biological, physical, social, and economic) environment caused by the Western Oregon State Forests Habitat Conservation Plan (WOSF HCP) and a range of reasonable alternatives.

NMFS and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USWFS) will review the ITP applications to determine if they meet permit issuance criteria.
