Farm Service Agency
Title: County Committee Election.
OMB Control Number: 0560–0229.
Summary of Collection: This
information collection is necessary to
effectively allow farmers and ranchers
to nominate potential candidates using
the form FSA–669A for the FSA county
committee election in accordance with
the requirements as authorized by the
Soil Conservation and Domestic
Allotment Act, as amended.
Specifically, FSA uses the information
provided by the nominee annually or, if
needed, throughout the year for special
elections to create ballots for FSA
county committee elections. Elections
for FSA county committees are held
each year; therefore, nominations for
eligible nominees are requested each
year. Any individual who meets the
qualifications mentioned in form FSA–
669A may be nominated by another
person or by themselves. The form
FSA–669A is used to collect the
information for nominations; it requires
the name and address of the nominee
and the signatures of both the nominee
and the person nominating the
individual to be a nominee (only one
signature is required for self-nominated
individuals). Nominee must be eligible
to vote in the designated FSA county
committee election, eligible to hold the
office of FSA county committee
member, and willing to serve, if elected.
For more information about FSA county
committees, including elections,
nominations, eligible voters, eligibility,
and other related information, see the
regulations in 7 CFR part 7. In addition,
the form also includes a voluntary
request for race, ethnicity, and gender
information from the nominee. FSA is
also using the form FSA–669A–3,
Nomination Form for Urban Agriculture
FSA Committee Election, to establish
Urban Agriculture FSA County
Committees in some cities. Completion
of the form is voluntary.
Need and Use of the Information: FSA
will collect information on race,
ethnicity and gender of each nominee as
provided through the voluntary selfidentification of each nominee agreeing
to run for a position. The information
will be sent to FSA (Kansas City) for
preparation of the upcoming election.
FSA will review the information
annually. If the information is not

collected in any given year, FSA would
not be able to prepare the report as
required by the regulations.

Rio Grande National Forest Over Snow
Travel Management Project
Forest Service, Agriculture
(USDA).
ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an
environmental impact statement.
AGENCY:
The Forest Service, U.S.
Department of Agriculture, will prepare
an environmental impact statement
(EIS) to inform a decision about the
designation of roads, trails, and areas of
the Rio Grande National Forest (RGNF)
which would be open to motorized
over-snow use. The environmental
impact statement will inform a decision
about the classes of vehicles and times
of year for which motorized over-snow
use will be allowed on designated roads,
trails, and areas. Roads, trails, and areas
designated for motorized over-snow
vehicle (OSV) use will be identified on
an Over-Snow Vehicle Use Map which
will specify the classes of vehicles and
time of year for which use is designated
on the Rio Grande National Forest. An
additional map displaying the Desired
Winter Recreation Opportunity
Spectrum (ROS) settings will also be
produced. The RGNF anticipates this
travel management analysis based on
the proposed action as presently
described and the resulting decision
may require an amendment to the Land
Management Plan for the Forest.
DATES: Comments concerning the scope
of the analysis must be received by June
14, 2024. The draft environmental
impact statement is expected in the fall
of 2025, and the final environmental
impact statement is expected in the fall
of 2026.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
ADDRESSES:
Purpose and Need for Action
There is a need to provide a
manageable, designated system of
National Forest System roads, National
Forest System trails, and areas for OSV
use across the Rio Grande National
Forest that is consistent with and
achieves the purposes of the Forest
Service Travel Management Rule at 36
CFR part 212.
The purpose of this project is to
effectively manage OSV use on the Rio
Grande National Forest to:
• Provide high quality over-snow
access and experiences.
• Ensure that OSV use occurs when
there is adequate snow to protect
underlying resources.
• Promote the safety of all Forest
visitors and users.
• Enhance public enjoyment.
• Minimize impacts to natural and
cultural resources.
• Minimize conflicts among the
various uses.
• Identify roads and trails where the
Forest Service or its contractors would
conduct snow grooming for OSV use.
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Proposed Action
The Rio Grande National Forest
proposes to designate roads, trails, and
areas on National Forest System land for
public OSV use. These designations
would be consistent with the
requirements of the Travel Management
Rule at 36 CFR 212 and will specifically
address the requirements of Subpart C
of those regulations.
The proposed action includes the
following:
• Approximately 1,342,162 acres (73
percent) of the Rio Grande National
Forest lands are proposed to be
designated for public cross-country
over-snow vehicle use.
• Approximately 260 miles of
currently permitted groomed motorized
routes are proposed for designation.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:27 Apr 29, 2024
Jkt 262001
• Approximately 23 miles of nonmotorized trail groomed for Nordic
skiing using motorized equipment are
proposed for designation.
• To reduce potential damage to
resources, an unpacked minimum snow
depth of 12 inches is required for OSV
use on designated roads, trail,s and
areas.
• Grooming on permitted routes may
occur on unpacked snow depths equal
to or greater than 18 inches.
• Grooming designated roads and
trails will occur using a variety of
methods including but not limited to
special use permits, partnerships, and/
or grants and agreements.
• Public OSV use in Special
Designation Management Areas (MA) is
restricted. This includes MA 4.1—
Special Designation-Special Interest
Areas, MA 4.2—Special DesignationResearch Natural Areas, and MA 4.8—
Ski-Based Areas. Some of these areas are
currently permitted for over-snow use.
Depending on the project decision,
existing permits could be adjusted
following completion of this analysis.
• Existing Forest Closure Orders in or
around Wolf Creek Pass and Cumbres
Pass are incorporated into the proposed
action, as is the restriction of motorized
use in congressionally designated
wilderness.
A more detailed version of the
proposed action and draft ROS maps are
available on the RNGF website at
https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/
riogrande/landmanagement/planning/
?cid=fseprd1154726.
Minimization Criteria
Travel Management Regulations (36
CFR 212.55(b)) require the development
of project specific minimization criteria.
These minimization criteria will be
developed and applied to each National
Forest System Road, trail, and area
designated for OSV use.
Desired Recreational Opportunity
Spectrum
Recreation on national forests
encompasses more than just the
activities. The range of opportunities,
access, use, and setting is the Recreation
Opportunity Spectrum (ROS).
Recreation Opportunity Spectrum
describes the settings available across a
landscape and the attributes associated
with those settings. Initial winter ROS
maps were developed as part of the
proposal and are available on the Rio
Grande National Forest website at:
https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/
