Environmental Review
The environmental impacts have been
considered in a manner consistent with
the provisions of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA, 42
U.S.C. 4321–4347), the regulations of
the Council on Environmental Quality
(40 CFR parts 1500–1508), and the FSA
regulations for compliance with NEPA
(7 CFR part 799).
The purpose of EGSFP is to establish
assistance to help agricultural producers
in affected counties in Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri,
North Dakota, South Dakota, and
Tennessee purchase and build on-farm
grain storage and purchase drying and
handling equipment necessary due to
marketing and storage disruptions
caused by devastating natural disaster
events from December 1, 2021, through
August 1, 2022. The limited
discretionary aspects of EGSFP do not
have the potential to impact the human
environment as they are administrative.
Accordingly, these discretionary aspects
are covered by the categorical
exclusions in 7 CFR 799.31(b)(6)(iii) that
applies to price support programs,
provided no extraordinary
circumstances are found to exist. As
such, the implementation of EGSFP and
the participation in EGSFP do not
constitute major Federal actions that
would significantly affect the quality of
the human environment, individually or
cumulatively. Therefore, FSA will not
prepare an environmental assessment or
environmental impact statement for this
action and this document serves as
documentation of the programmatic
environmental compliance decision for
this federal action.
Federal Assistance Programs
The title and number of the Federal
assistance programs, as found in the
Assistance Listing,7 to which this
document applies is 10.973, Emergency
Grain Storage Facility Assistance
Program.

The Forest Service, U.S.
Department of Agriculture, is initiating
the Land Management Plan (Plan)
revision process, pursuant to the 2012
Planning Rule and as directed by the
National Forest Management Act, for the
Lolo National Forest located in western
Montana. This process will result in a
revised Land Management Plan which
will guide all resource management
activities on the Lolo National Forest for
approximately 15 years. This notice
announces the initiation of the
assessment phase, the beginning of plan
development, and the preliminary
stages of the plan revision process. The
assessment will identify and consider
relevant and readily accessible material
about ecological, social, and economic
conditions and trends in the planning
area, including best available scientific
information. Trends and conditions
identified in the assessment will then
help describe a need to change the
existing plan and inform the revision of
the Plan.
DATES: In the winter and spring of 2023,
the public has been invited to engage
and participate in the assessment phase
of the revision process. Engagement
opportunities are posted on the Lolo

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Forest Management Act
(NFMA) of 1976 requires that the Forest
Service develop a Land and Resource
Management Plan, often called a Forest
Plan, for every national forest. Forest
Plans provide the strategic direction for
management of forest resources and are
amendable as conditions change over
time. The Lolo Forest Plan was adopted
in 1986. This notice announces the start
of the first stage of the plan revision
process, during which updated
information from the public, Tribes,
other government agencies, and nongovernmental parties, will be compiled
into an assessment. Information relevant
to these reports typically includes the
status and trends of ecological, social,
and economic conditions within the
planning area and across the broader
landscape. Federal Regulation 36 CFR
219.6 requires the assessment of (1)
Terrestrial ecosystems, aquatic
ecosystems, and watersheds; (2) Air,
soil, and water resources and quality; (3)
System drivers, including dominant
ecological processes, disturbance
regimes, and stressors, such as natural
succession, wildland fire, invasive
species, and climate change, and the
ability of terrestrial and aquatic
ecosytems in the plan area to adapt to
change; (4) Baseline assessment of
carbon stocks; (5) Threatened,
endangered, proposed, and candidate
species, and potential species of
conservation concern present in the
plan area; (6) Social, cultural, and
economic conditions; (7) Benefits
people obtain from the National Forest
System planning area (ecosystem
services); (8) Multiple uses and their
contributions to local, regional, and
national economies; (9) Recreation
settings, opportunities and access, and
scenic character; (10); Renewable and
nonrenewable energy and mineral
resources; (11) Infrastructure, such as
recreational facilities and transportation
and utility corridors; (12) Areas of tribal

importance; (13) Cultural and historic
resources and uses; (14) Land status and
ownership and access patterns; and (15)
Existing designated areas located in the
plan area including wilderness and wild
and scenic rivers and potential need and
opportunity for additional designated
areas.
During this assessment phase, the
Forest Service invites other government
agencies, Tribes, non-governmental
parties, and the public to share
information about social, economic, and
environmental conditions of the Lolo
National Forest and the broader
landscape. Existing information about
conditions on the Lolo National Forest,
supplemented with information
gathered through public engagement
and tribal consultation, will be
integrated into final resource
assessments. The Forest Service will
host public outreach forums to share
progress and gather additional
information.
Responsible Official: The responsible
official for the revision of the land and
resource management plan for the Lolo
National Forest is Carolyn Upton, Forest
