14074 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 57 / Monday, March 26, 2007 / Notices 

outlining how livestock will be grazed 

will be developed to assure 

implementation of Forest Plan 

management direction. The analysis 

will consider actions that continue to 

improve trends in vegetation, watershed 

conditions, and ecological sustainability 

relative to livestock grazing within the 

allotments. Management actions are 

proposed to be implemented beginning 

in the year 2008. 

The Bighorn National Forest Land and 

Resource Management Plan (Forest 

Plan) identifies livestock grazing as an 

appropriate use and makes initial 

determinations for lands capable and 

suitable for grazing by domestic 

livestock. 

Purpose and Need for Action: The 

purpose of this project is to determine 

if livestock grazing will continue to be 

authorized on the Battle Park and 

Mistymoon allotments, and if it is to 

continue, how to best utilize adaptive 

management strategies to maintain or 

achieve desired conditions and meet 

forest plan objectives. Livestock grazing 

is currently occurring on the Battle Park 

allotment under the existing allotment 

management plan (AMP) and through 

direction provided in the Annual 

Operating Instructions. The Mistymoon 

allotment is currently vacant. 

Continuation of livestock grazing will 

require reviewing existing management 

strategies and, if necessary, updating 

them to implement forest plan direction 

and meet Section 504 of Public Law 

104–19 (Rescission Bill, signed 7/27/ 

95). The results of this analysis may 

require modifying term grazing permits 

and AMPs. Modifications will be 

documented in updated AMPs for the 

allotments. 

Existing conditions in the analysis 

area present opportunities for additional 

activities. An additional purpose of this 

project is to maintain or move toward 

desired conditions for sagebrush/ 

grassland communities; specifically, to 

maintain a mosaic of vegetation 

composition and structure that 

emulates, or moves toward, natural 

processes. The need to provide a mosaic 

of sagebrush cover densities has been 

identified in the project area. 

Proposed Action: The proposed action 

is to continue livestock grazing using 

adaptive management strategies to meet 

or move toward Forest Plan and 

allotment-specific desired conditions. 

This includes changing livestock 

management strategies, constructing 

additional improvements (fences and 

water developments), and treating 

sagebrush. The Mistymoon allotment is 

currently vacant, and the proposed 

action is to combine the portion of this 

allotment that is determined to be 

suitable for cattle grazing with the Battle 

Park allotment. 

Possible Alternatives: Two additional 

alternatives have been identified to date: 

(a) Remove livestock grazing from these 

allotments, and (b) Continue current 

management strategies. 

Responsible Official: Mark Booth, 

District Ranger, Powder River Ranger 

District, Bighorn National Forest, 1415 

Fort Street, Buffalo, Wyoming 82834. 

Nature of Decision to be Made: The 

Responsible Official will consider the 

results of the analysis and its findings 

and then document the final decision in 

a Record of Decision (ROD). The 

decision will determine whether or not 

to authorize livestock grazing on all, 

part, or none of the allotments, and if so, 

what adaptive management design 

criteria, adaptive options, and 

monitoring will be implemented so as to 

meet or move toward the desired 

conditions in the defined timeframe. 

Scoping Process: Formal scoping for 

this project occurred in August 2004. 

Since then, there has been 

correspondence and several meetings 

with individuals, permittees, State 

Agencies, environmental groups, and 

other interested people. 

Early Notice of Importance of Public 

Participation in Subsequent 

Environmental Review: A draft 

environmental impact statement will be 

prepared for comment. The comment 

period on the draft environmental 

impact statement will be 45 days from 

the date 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 draft environmental impact 

statements 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 environmental impact 

statement stage but that are not raised 

until after completion of the final 

environmental impact statement 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 by the close of the 45- 

day 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 

environmental impact statement. 

To assist the Forest Service in 

identifying and considering issues and 

concerns on the proposed action, 

comments on the draft environmental 

impact statement should be as specific 

as possible. It is also helpful if 

comments refer to specific pages or 

chapters of the draft statement. 

Comments may also address the 

adequacy of the draft environmental 

impact statement or the merits of the 

alternatives formulated and discussed in 

the statement. Reviewers may wish to 

refer to the Council on Environmental 

Quality Regulations for implementing 

the procedural provisions of the 

National Environmental Policy Act at 40 

CFR 1503.3 in addressing these points. 

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.
