Withdrawal of Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for Proposed Amendment of Rogue River, Umpqua and Winema National Forest Land and Resource Management Plans for the Pacific Connector Gas Pipeline
In the Monday, June 15, 2009 Federal Register (FR) Vol. 74, No. 113, pages 28214-28217, the Forest Service announced its intention to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for amendment of land and resource management plans (LRMP) of the Rogue River, Umpqua and Winema National Forests to make provision for the Pacific Connector Gas Pipeline (PCGP) to cross national forest system lands. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) vacated the order that authorized the PCGP on April 16, 2012. With FERC's withdrawal of the current authorization for the PCGP, the proposal by the Forest Service to amend LRMPs to make provision for the PCGP is not ripe for decision. Therefore, the Forest Service is withdrawing the Notice of Intent to prepare an EIS published in 74 FR 28214, June 15, 2009.
Project-Level Predecisional Administrative Review Process
This proposed rule establishes the sole process by which the public may file objections seeking predecisional administrative review for proposed projects and activities implementing land management plans, including projects authorized pursuant to the Healthy Forests Restoration Act of 2003 (HFRA). The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2012 directs the Secretary of Agriculture, acting through the Chief of the Forest Service, to provide for a pre-decisional objection process for proposed actions of the Forest Service concerning projects and activities implementing land and resource management plans developed under the Forest and Rangeland Renewable Resources Planning Act of 1974, and documented with a Record of Decision (ROD) or Decision Notice (DN). Section 428 further directs the Secretary to apply these procedures in lieu of the Appeal Reform Act (ARA), which provided for a postdecisional administrative appeal process. The proposed rule also establishes procedures concerning how the Forest Service will provide notice for such projects and activities. The Forest Service invites written comments on this proposed rule.
