Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 230 / Wednesday, December 1, 2010 / Notices 74681 

• Whether to include an adaptive 

management approach to address future 

spread of invasive weeds. 

If authorized, the decision would 

describe adaptive management options 

under specific settings and conditions. 

The EIS is a project level analysis. 

The scope of the project is confined to 

issues and potential environmental 

consequences relevant to the decision. 

This analysis does not attempt to reevaluate or alter decisions made at 

higher levels. The decision is subject to 

and would implement direction from 

higher levels. 

National and regional policies and 

Forest Plan direction require 

consideration of effects of all projects on 

invasive plant spread and prescribe 

protection measures where practical to 

limit those effects. Reconsideration of 

other existing project level decisions or 

programmatically prescribing protection 

measures or standards for future Forest 

management activities (such as travel 

management, timber harvest, and 

grazing management) are beyond the 

scope of this document. Cumulative 

effects of the Project are addressed 

where appropriate in Chapter 3 

combined with effects of other Forest 

activities. 

Even with careful consideration, 

unforeseen events can occur that will 

require additional analyses. 

Unanticipated events can result in new 

information that could have a bearing 

on a decision. Forest Service procedures 

for addressing such new information, 

documents, and decisions are 

thoroughly explained in FSH 1909.15, 

Section 18. 

Preliminary Issues: Key issues 

identified to date include: 

• The current and potential impacts 

of invasive plants on natural resources 

such as big game winter habitat, native 

plant communities, wilderness values, 

watershed function, and threatened, 

endangered, or sensitive species and 

their habitats. 

• Economics, effectiveness, and 

potential impacts of various control 

methods on natural resources. 

• Potential effects on non-target 

native plants and associated values, 

wildlife and fish populations, and 

human health from the application of 

herbicides. 

Scoping Process: This notice of intent 

initiates the scoping process, which 

guides the development of the 

environmental impact statement. Public 

participation will be especially 

important at several points during the 

analysis, beginning with the scoping 

process (40 CFR 1501.7). The Forest 

Service will be seeking information, 

comments, and assistance from Federal, 

State, and local agencies, tribes, and 

other individuals or organizations who 

may be interested in or affected by the 

proposed project. This input will be 

used in preparation of the draft EIS. 

Continued scoping and public 

participation efforts will be used by the 

interdisciplinary team to identify new 

issues, determine alternatives in 

response to the issues, and determine 

the level of analysis needed to disclose 

potential biological, physical, economic, 

and social impacts associated with this 

project. 

The draft EIS is expected to be filed 

with the Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) and to be available for 

public review by May 2011. The EPA 

will publish a notice of availability of 

the draft EIS in the Federal Register. 

The comment period on the draft EIS 

will be 45 days from the date the EPA 

notice appears in the Federal Register. 

At that time, copies of the draft EIS will 

be distributed to interested and affected 

agencies, organizations, and members of 

the public for their review and 

comment. It is important that those 

interested in this proposal on the 

Medicine Bow-Routt National Forests 

and Thunder Basin National Grassland 

participate at that time. 

The final EIS is scheduled for 

completion by April 2012. In the final 

EIS, the Forest Service is required to 

respond to substantive comments 

received during the comment period for 

the draft EIS. The Forest Supervisor of 

the Medicine Bow-Routt National 

Forests and Thunder Basin National 

Grassland is the responsible official. 

The Forest Supervisor will decide 

which, if any, of the proposed project 

alternatives will be implemented. The 

decision and reasons for the decision 

will be documented in appropriate 

Records of Decision. Those decisions 

will be subject to Forest Service appeal 

regulations (36 CFR part 215). 

It is important that reviewers provide 

their comments at such times and in 

such manner that they are useful to the 

agency’s preparation of the 

environmental impact statement. 

Therefore, comments should be 

provided prior to the close of the 

comment period and should clearly 

articulate the reviewer’s concerns and 

contentions. 

Comments received in response to 

this solicitation, including names and 

addresses of those who comment, will 

become part of the public record for this 

proposed action. Comments submitted 

anonymously will be accepted and 

considered, however anonymous 

comments will not provide the 

respondent with standing to participate 

in subsequent administrative review or 

judicial review.
