SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
purpose of the proposed action is
approval the IRMP for the Tribes’
natural and cultural resources. The
proposed action updates the original
IRMP that was prepared and
implemented in 2000. The IRMP
incorporates management goals and
objectives for the commercial forest,
rangeland, and agricultural lands of the
Tribes.
The Tribes’ forest products industry,
livestock grazing, and agriculture have
the potential to impact the natural and
PO 00000

human environments of the Reservation.
The FEIS analyzes the potential impacts
associated with these activities. These
include impacts to land resources such
as geology, minerals, and soils,
watershed function, surface and
groundwater resources, air quality,
biological resources, cultural and
paleontological resources,
socioeconomic conditions,
transportation and forest access roads,
land use, public services, noise,
aesthetics, recreation, climate change,
cumulative effects, and indirect and
growth-inducing effects.
The FEIS considers five management
alternatives developed by the Tribes’
IRMP Core Team. The interdisciplinary
team developed these management
alternatives for consideration and
analysis and designated a preferred
alternative (Alternative 2) that was
approved by the Colville Business
Council in June 2014. The team also
conducted a community survey in 2014
that asked community members to
choose a preferred alternative. All
groups were unanimous in selecting
Alternative 2 as the preferred
alternative. The alternatives are:
1. Continue the Current Management
Strategy
2. Enhance and Improve the Current
Management Strategy (Preferred
Alternative)
3. Concentrate on Forest and Rangeland
Health Problems
4. Expand Forest and Livestock
Production
5. Eliminate Timber Harvesting and
Livestock Grazing
A Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an
EIS was released in the Federal Register
on November 21, 2014 (79 FR 69521).
Public scoping meetings were held in
four Reservation communities in
October 2015, and a Scoping Meetings
Report was released in March 2016. An
administrative draft DEIS was prepared
and reviewed by the IRMP Core Team
and appropriate revisions were
incorporated along with supplemental
information.
The Draft EIS (DEIS) was completed
in November 2016. Notices of
Availability (NOA) were published in
the Federal Register by the BIA on June
14, 2017 (82 FR 27278) and the EPA on
July 28, 2017 (82 FR 35200). The public
review period ended on September 11,
2017. The Response to Comments was
released on January 24, 2018. The
original FEIS was completed on August
14, 2018, and page-count revisions were
completed on December 18, 2018.

Abstract: The Backcountry/
Wilderness Use Permit is an extension
of the NPS statutory authority and
responsibility to protect the park areas
it administers and to manage the public
use thereof (54 U.S.C. 100101, 100751,
and 320102). In 1976, the NPS initiated
a backcountry registration system by the
regulations codified in 36 CFR 1.5, 1.6,
and 2.10. The NPS regulations codified
in 36 CFR parts 1 through 7, 12, and 13
are designated to implement statutory
mandates that provide for resource
protection and public enjoyment. The
registration system aims to provide
users access to backcountry and
wilderness areas of national parks while
enhancing the protection of natural and
cultural resources by using better
management practices by the park
management. Data collected through the
registration process serves as an
important resource that informs
backcountry/wilderness management
and stewardship planning, decisionmaking, and operations, and provides a
means of disseminating public safety
and outdoor ethics messages regarding
backcountry/wilderness travel and
camping along with continuing
opportunities for primitive and
unconfined recreation. Permitting
enhances the ability of the NPS to
educate users on potential hazards,
search and rescue efforts, and resource
protection. The objectives of the permit
system carried out by park managers are
to ensure:
(1) Requests by backcountry users are
evaluated by park managers per
applicable statutes and NPS regulations.
(2) The use of consistent standards
and permitting criteria throughout the
agency.
(3) To the extent possible, the use of
a single and efficient permitting
document, NPS Forms 10–404
Backcountry/Wilderness Use Permit
Application and 10–404A Backcountry/
Wilderness Use Permit Hangtag, are
used to provide access to NPS
backcountry areas, including areas that
require a reservation to enter where use
limits are imposed per other NPS
regulations. The 10–404AK Alaska
Backcountry/Wilderness Use Permit
Application, is used within Alaskan
park units, Denali National Park and
Preserve and Glacier Bay National Park
