notice will be considered in 

development of the final directives for 

predator damage management on 

National Forest System lands, including 

wilderness.

the administrative record for the 

proposed directives those comments it 

receives after the comment period closes 

(see DATES) or comments delivered to an 

address other than those listed in this 

ADDRESSES section. 

All comments, including names and 

addresses when provided, are placed in 

the record and are available for public 

inspection and copying. The public may
