40112 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 140 / Monday, July 23, 2007 / Notices 

Bridger-Teton National Forest for more 

than 50 years to conduct their winter elk 

management programs. This use of NFS 

land has been authorized in the past by 

the issuance of permits. The WGFC has 

requested long term authorization to 

continue this established use. 

Purpose and Need for Action 

The purpose and need for action is to 

respond to the WGFC request for long 

term Special Use Permits. The Special 

Use Permits would authorize the 

proposed intermittent occupancy and 

use of specified lands for activities 

associated with their winter elk 

management program. 

Proposed Action 

The proposed action is to authorize 

the continued use of NFS lands by the 

WGFC for corrals, sheds, chutes, and 

feeding grounds associated with their 

ongoing winter elk management 

program. The specific areas addressed 

in this action include the following 

sites: 

(1) Fish Creek. 

(2) Pritchard Creek (Dog Creek). 

(3) Muddy Canyon. 

(4) Fall Creek. 

(5) Alkali Creek. 

(6) Upper Green River. 

(7) Patrol Cabin. 

Possible Alternatives 

Three preliminary alternatives have 

been identified: (1) The no action 

alternative—no Special Use 

Authorization would be issued, (2) The 

proposed action—issuance of 

authorization to the WGFC, and (3) 

authorization of the proposed use with 

modifications. 

Lead and Cooperating Agencies 

The Forest Service is the lead agency. 

WGFC is a cooperating agency. 

Responsible Official 

The responsible forest officer for this 

proposed action is Carole ‘‘Kniffy’’

Hamilton, Forest Supervisor, BridgerTeton National Forest, 340 N. Cache, 

P.O. Box 1888, Jackson, WY 83001. 

Nature of Decision To Be Made 

The decision to be made is whether or 

not to authorize, in whole or in part, use 

of specific NFS lands by the WGFC for 

corrals, sheds, chutes, and feeding 

grounds associated with their ongoing 

elk feeding and management program. 

Scoping Process 

The first formal opportunity to 

respond to the proposed action listed 

above is during the public scoping 

process (40 CFR 1501.7) which begins 

with the issuance of this Notice of 

Intent. Scoping letters will be sent to the 

forest mailing list of known interested 

parties, and public meetings will be 

scheduled in Jackson and Pinedale, WY. 

The time and place for those meetings 

will be published in the local papers 

and posted on the forest Web site. The 

scoping process will assist the forest in 

identifying specific issues to be 

addressed related to the purpose and 

need and the scope of the decision. Mail 

comments to the addresses given above 

for further information. Ongoing 

information related to the proposed 

action and related analysis will be 

posted on the Bridger-Teton National 

Forest Web site http://www.fs.fed.us/r4/ 

btnf. 

Preliminary Issues 

Preliminary issues associated with the 

proposed action include: 

(1) Concentrated use of the specified 

areas by elk could affect local habitat 

due to heavy browsing of willows and 

other shrubs. 

(2) Concentrated use of the specified 

areas during warmer spring days could 

impact soils due to trampling on the 

area. 

(3) Importing of hay would increase 

the possibility of introducing noxious 

weeds. 

Permits or Licenses Required 

If the decision is to authorize the 

WGFC to occupy and use National 

Forest System lands, it will be done 

through the issuance of a Special Use 

Authorization. (36 CFR part 251 subpart 

B) 

Comment Requested 

This notice of intent initiates the 

scoping process which guides the 

development of the environmental 

impact statement. 

Early Notice of Importance of Public 

Participation in Subsequent 

Environmental Review: A draft 

environmental impact statement (DEIS) 

will be prepared for comment. The 

comment period on the DEIS will be for 

a period of 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 a DEIS 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 DEIS 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 DEIS 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 DEIS 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.
