Department of Agriculture April 4, 2008 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Ochoco National Forest is planning to charge an $8 fee for family overnight campsites at Skull Hollow Campground with additional vehicle/vehicles being $4.00. These sites have been available for non- fee recreation use prior to this date. Camping in other campgrounds on the Ochoco National Forest has shown that people appreciate and enjoy the availability of campgrounds. Funds from the fee site will be used for the continued operation and maintenance of Skull Hollow.

The USDA, Forest Service, will prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) on a proposed action to address forest health and hazardous fuels concerns within the 16,000-acre planning area known as the Deadlog Vegetation Project. The planning area is located about 36 miles southeast of Bend, Oregon; it is located in Township 22S, Range 15E, and Township 23S, Ranges 14E and 15E. The alternatives will include the proposed action, no action, and additional alternatives that respond to issues generated through the scoping process. The agency will give notice of the full environmental analysis and decision-making process so interested and affected people may participate and contribute to the final decision.

In accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act, as amended, the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is announcing a forthcoming meeting of the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB).
