an area to higher intensity and higher 

severity wildfires in the future. Such 

fires would inhibit stand regeneration, 

resulting in stand type changes to brush 

or other non-forested vegetation types 

and delaying these lands from reaching 

the desired conditions of the Forest 

Plan. 

Proposed Action 

The proposed action was designed to 

meet the purpose and need for action. 

The proposed action will treat a total of 

about 63,883 acres within the 214,848- 

acre project boundary (10,600 acres of 

salvage harvest, 21,872 acres of roadside 

hazard treatment, 11,411 acres of 

hazardous fuels treatment and 20,000 

acres of site preparation, planting and 

release). Acres do not account for the 

overlap in treatment types. Treatment 

acreages are approximate at this point 

and will be adjusted and refined 

following scoping. 

Responsible Official 

Patricia A. Grantham, Forest 

Supervisor, Klamath National Forest, 

1711 South Main Street, Yreka, CA 

96097. 

Nature of Decision To Be Made 

The responsible official will decide 

whether to adopt and implement the 

proposed action, an alternative to the 

proposed action, or take no action to 

make changes to existing conditions in 

the Westside Fire Recovery Project Area. 

Scoping Process 

Public participation is important at 

numerous points during the analysis. 

The Forest Service seeks information, 

comments and assistance from federal, 

state, and local agencies and individuals 

or organizations that may be interested 

in or affected by the proposed action. 

The Forest Service conducts scoping 

according to the Council on 

Environmental Quality (CEQ) 

regulations (40 CFR 1501.7). In addition 

to other public involvement, this Notice 

of Intent initiates an early and open 

process for determining the scope of 

issues to be addressed in the EIS and for 

identifying the significant issues related 

to a proposed action. This scoping 

process allows the Forest Service to not 

only identify significant environmental 

issues deserving of study, but also to 

deemphasize insignificant issues, 

narrowing the scope of the EIS process 

accordingly (40 CFR 1500.4(g)). 

This project is subject to comment 

pursuant to 36 CFR 218, Subparts A and 

B; however, the Forest is requesting an 

emergency situation determination as 

provided for in 36 CFR 218.21. If it is 

determined that an emergency situation 

exists with respect to all or part of the 

proposed project or activity, the 

proposed action shall not be subject to 

the pre-decisional objection process and 

implementation may proceed 

immediately after notification of the 

decision (§ 218.21(d)(1)). The 

responsible official shall identify any 

emergency situation determination 

made for a project in the notification of 

the decision (§ 218.21(e)). The Forest is 

also seeking alternative arrangements 

with the Council on Environmental 

Quality; arrangements may include but 

are not limited to a reduced comment 

period on the draft EIS and release of 

the final EIS and record of decision at 

the same time. 

Comment Requested 

This Notice of Intent initiates the 

scoping process which guides the 

development of the EIS. Comments on 

the proposed action should be 

submitted within 30 days of the date of 

publication of this Notice of Intent in 

the Federal Register. 

Early Notice of Importance of Public 

Participation in Subsequent 

Environmental Review: The draft EIS is 

expected to be filed with the 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

and to be available for public review by 

March 2015. A draft EIS will be 

available for comment when the 

Environmental Protection Agency 

publishes the notice of availability in 

the Federal Register. The Forest Service 

believes, at this early stage, it is 

important to give reviewers notice of 

several court rulings related to public 

participation in the environmental 

review process. First, reviewers of a 

draft EIS must structure their 

participation in the environmental 

review of the proposal so that it is 

meaningful and alerts an agency to the 

reviewer’s position and contentions. 

Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corp. v. 

NRDC, 435 U.S. 519, 553 (1978). Also, 

environmental objections that could be 

raised at the draft EIS stage but that are 

not raised until after completion of the 

final EIS may be waived or dismissed by 

the courts. City of Angoon v. Hodel, 803 

F.2d 1016, 1022 (9th Cir. 1986) and 

Wisconsin Heritages, Inc. v. Harris, 490 

F. Supp. 1334, 1338 (E.D. Wis. 1980). 

Because of these court rulings, it is very 

important that those interested in this 

proposed action participate during the 

comment period so that substantive 

comments and objections are made 

available to the Forest Service at a time 

when it can meaningfully consider them 

and respond to them in the final EIS. 

The final EIS is scheduled to be 

completed in June 2015. 

To assist the Forest Service in 

identifying and considering issues and 

concerns on the proposed action, 

comments on the proposal should be as 

specific as possible. 

Comments received, including the 

names and addresses of those who 

comment, will be considered part of the 

public record on this proposal and will 

be available for public inspection.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Economic Development Administration 

Notice of Petitions by Firms for 

Determination of Eligibility to Apply for 

Trade Adjustment Assistance 

AGENCY: Economic Development 

Administration, Department of 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice and Opportunity for 

Public Comment. 

Pursuant to Section 251 of the Trade 

Act 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2341 

et seq.), the Economic Development 

Administration (EDA) has received 

petitions for certification of eligibility to 

apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance 

from the firms listed below. 

Accordingly, EDA has initiated 

investigations to determine whether 

increased imports into the United States 

of articles like or directly competitive 

with those produced by each of these 

firms contributed importantly to the 

total or partial separation of the firm’s 

workers, or threat thereof, and to a 

decrease in sales or production of each 

petitioning firm.
