SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Forest 

Plan describes the Flathead National 

Forest’s distinctive roles and 

contributions within the broader 

landscape and details forest-wide 

management area and geographic area 

desired conditions, objectives, 

standards, and guidelines. The Forest 

Plan identifies suitable uses of National 

Forest System lands and provides 

estimates of the planned timber sale 

quantity. The Forest Plan identifies 

priority watersheds for restoration, and 

includes recommended wilderness areas 

and eligible wild and scenic rivers. This 

Forest Plan provides for efficient and 

effective management of the Flathead 

National Forest with desired conditions 

for coordination, partnerships, and 

shared stewardship with State, local, 

and Tribal governements, other federal 

agencies, adjacent landowners, and 

stakeholders. 

The Forest Service is concurrently 

amending the Forest Plans of the 

Helena-Lewis and Clark, Kootenai, and 

Lolo National Forests to incorporate 

habitat management direction for the 

Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem 

grizzly bear population. The Flathead 

National Forest has incorporated the 

grizzly bear habitat management 

direction as part of its Forest Plan. Plan 

components (desired conditions, 

standards, and guidelines) that conserve 

grizzly bear habitat will be added to the 

Helena-Lewis and Clark, Kootenai, and 

Lolo Forest Plans. These plan 

components will guide future land 

management actions related to 

motorized access and secure core 

developed recreation sites, vegetation 

management, livestock grazing, and 

energy and mineral development. In 

general, habitat conditions in the 

primary conservation area will be 

maintained at levels that occurred 

during the time period when the grizzly 

bear population was known to be 

growing and increasing in distribution 

and will contribute to sustaining the 

recovery of the grizzly bear population. 

The Flathead National Forest initiated 

plan revision in fall 2013 with field 

trips and stakeholder meetings. The 

Forest invited State, local and Tribal 

governments, and other federal agencies 

from around the region to participate in 

the process to revise the Forest Plan. An 

interagency working group met 

regularly throughout the plan revision 

effort. The Forest received almost 

54,000 public comments on the Forest 

Plan and Amendments. Public 

involvement for the Amendments was 

initiated with the publication of a 

Notice of Intent in the Federal Register 

on March 6, 2015. Open houses were 

held in seven communities throughout 

the Northern Continental Divide 

Ecosystem during the scoping period to 

provide information about the proposed 

action and accept public comments. 

The development of the Forest Plan 

and Amendments was shaped by the 

best available science, current laws, and 

public input. The 60-day timeframe for 

the opportunity to object ended on 

February 12, 2018. The Forest Service 

received 69 eligible objections. The 

reviewing officers issued their written 

responses to the objection issues on 

August 16, 2018. The Regional Forester, 

Reviewing Official, provided the Forest 

Supervisors with minor clarification 

instructions for most of the objection 

issues. The final RODs document the 

rationale for approving the Forest Plan 

and Amendments and are consistent 

with the reviewing officers’ responses to 

objections and instructions. 

Responsible Officials 

The Responsible Officials for 

approving the Forest Plan and 

Amendments are as follows: Chip 

Weber, Forest Supervisor, Flathead 

National Forest; William Avey, Forest 

Supervisor, Helena-Lewis and Clark 

National Forest; Chad Benson, Acting

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Withdrawal of notice of intent 

to prepare an environmental impact 

statement. 

SUMMARY: The Klamath National Forest 

is withdrawing the Notice of Intent 

(NOI) to prepare an Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS) for the Crawford 

Vegetation Management Project. The 

original NOI was published in the 

Federal Register on January 27, 2014 

(79 FR 4323). Upon further evaluation, 

there are no expected significant 

impacts to the human environment 

associated with the project. As a result, 

the Klamath National Forest is now 

preparing an environmental assessment 

(EA). All comments previously received 

regarding this project will be retained 

and considered in the development of 

the EA. If it is determined that the 

project may have significant impacts, 

the EIS process will be reinitiated and 

a NOI will be published.

Foreign-Trade Zones Board 

[B–79–2018] 

Foreign-Trade Zone 263—LewistonAuburn, Maine; Application for 

Reorganization (Expansion of Service 

Area); Under Alternative Site 

Framework 

An application has been submitted to 

the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board by 

the Lewiston-Auburn Economic Growth 

Council, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 

263, requesting authority to reorganize 

the zone to expand its service area 

under the alternative site framework 

(ASF) adopted by the FTZ Board (15 

CFR Sec. 400.2(c)). The ASF is an 

option for grantees for the establishment 

or reorganization of zones and can 

permit significantly greater flexibility in 

the designation of new subzones or 

‘‘usage-driven’’ FTZ sites for operators/ 

users located within a grantee’s ‘‘service 

area’’ in the context of the FTZ Board’s 

standard 2,000-acre activation limit for 

a zone. The application was submitted 

pursuant to the Foreign-Trade Zones 

Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–81u), 

and the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 

CFR part 400). It was formally docketed 

on December 19, 2018. 

FTZ 263 was approved by the FTZ 

Board on October 1, 2004 (Board Order 

1354, 69 FR 60840, October 13, 2004) 

and reorganized under the ASF on April 

9, 2015 (Board Order 1973, 80 FR 20469, 

April 16, 2015). The zone currently has 

a service area that includes the Counties 

of Androscoggin, Cumberland and 

Sagadahoc, Maine. 

The applicant is now requesting 

authority to expand the service area of 

the zone to include York County, Maine, 

as described in the application. If 

approved, the grantee would be able to 

serve sites throughout the expanded 

service area based on companies’ needs 

for FTZ designation. The application 

indicates that the proposed expanded 

service area is adjacent to the Portland 

Customs and Border Protection Port of 

Entry. 

In accordance with the FTZ Board’s 

regulations, Kathleen Boyce of the FTZ 

Staff is designated examiner to evaluate 

and analyze the facts and information 

presented in the application and case 

record and to report findings and 

recommendations to the FTZ Board. 

Public comment is invited from 

interested parties. Submissions shall be 

addressed to the FTZ Board’s Executive 

Secretary at the address below. The 

closing period for their receipt is 

February 25, 2019. Rebuttal comments 

in response to material submitted 

during the foregoing period may be 

submitted during the subsequent 15-day 

period March 12, 2019. 

A copy of the application will be 

available for public inspection at the 

Office of the Executive Secretary, 

Foreign-Trade Zones Board, Room 

21013, U.S. Department of Commerce,
