**PURPOSE (**  **S ):** 

Records in this system will be used: (1) The payroll information is used to associate PSC payroll-related payments with their contracts and track direct hire payroll payments in the system in order to produce 1099 files. If this information is not imported form NFC to Phoenix, then USAID cannot comply with IRS regulations to maintain and produce
1099s.

(2) The travel information is used to associate E2 travel records with Phoenix accounting information regarding travel authorization and funding.

**AGENCY :**  Forest Service, USDA.

**ACTION :**  Notice of Intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement.

**SUMMARY :**  The USDA Forest Service will prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to disclose the environmental effects of issuing Term Grazing Permits to continue authorizing cattle grazing on all or portions of four existing grazing allotments: Bannon, Aeneas, Revis, and Tunk; herein after referred to as BART. The issuance of Term Grazing Permits would continue to authorize grazing at current permitted cattle numbers and seasons of use.

**DATES :**  Comments concerning the scope of the analysis should be received by January 7, 2013. The draft environmental impact statement is expected to be filed with the Environmental Protection Agency and made available for public review in January 2013. The final environmental impact statement is expected to be available for review in February 2013.

**ADDRESSES :**  Submit written comments and suggestions concerning the scope of the analysis to Christina Bauman, Project Lead, Tonasket District, 1 West Winesap, Tonasket, Washington 98855, or phone 509–486–5112.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  The assessment area covers about 36,803 acres of National Forest System lands within T. 35 N., R. 28 & 29 E., and T. 36 N., R. 28 & 29 E., Willamette Meridian. Landmark locations include, Bannon Mountain, Tunk Mountain, Crawfish Lake, Aeneas, Barnell, Lost, Cole, Bench and Jungle Creeks, and Barnell Meadows. Purpose and Need for Action

The purpose of this assessment is to authorize continued grazing in the project area consistent with Forest Plan standards and guidelines as amended providing forage for permitted livestock grazing is proposed because of the following:

• Public Law 104–19 Section 504 of the 1995 Rescissions Act, as amended, requires each National Forest to establish and adhere to a schedule for completing NEPA analysis and updating allotment management plans for all rangeland allotments on National Forest System lands.

• Where consistent with other multiple use goals and objectives, there is congressional intent to allow livestock grazing on suitable lands (Multiple Use Sustained Yield Act of 1960; Forest and Rangeland Renewable Resources Planning Act of 1974; Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976; and the National Forest Management Act of 1976.

• It is Forest Service policy to make forage available to qualified livestock operators from lands suitable for grazing consistent with land management plans (CFR 222.2(c); and Forest Service Manual [FSM] 2203.1).

• Recent surveys of the analysis area identified some areas that are of concern or are currently not meeting or moving toward desired conditions in a manner that is consistent with the Okanogan Forest Land and Resource Management Plan as amended. There is a need to modify range infrastructure and livestock management to move toward desired conditions for soils, vegetation and riparian resources. Livestock grazing is one of the factors that contribute to these altered resource conditions. Proposed Action

The proposed action authorizes continued livestock grazing at current levels using a combination of range improvements and adaptive management strategies to meet or move toward meeting Forest Plan Standards and to attain resource specific desired conditions.

This alternative would implement adaptive management strategies analyzed in detail to provide management options if changes to the Proposed Action grazing strategy are
