DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 

Forest Service 

Intermountain Region, Boise, Payette, 

and Sawtooth National Forests; 

Amendment to the 2003 Land and 

Resource Management Plans 

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice of intent (NOI) to prepare 

an environmental impact statement 

(EIS). 

SUMMARY: The Forest Service will 

prepare an Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS) to disclose the 

environmental effects of proposed 

nonsignificant amendments to the three 

Southwest Idaho Ecogroup (SWIE) 2003 

Land and Resource Management Plans 

(Forest Plans). Amendments to the 2003 

Forest Plans for the Boise, Payette, and 

Sawtooth National Forests will add, 

and/or modify existing, management 

direction, as needed, to implement a 

comprehensive, Forest Plan-level, 

wildlife conservation strategy (WCS). 

This WCS will identify both short- and 

long-term management strategies and 

priorities for maintaining and restoring 

habitats associated with terrestrial 

wildlife species. The proposed 

nonsignificant amendments will 

provide management direction and 

guidance that focuses on those habitats, 

and their associated species, identified 

in the WCS as being of greatest 

conservation concern during the current 

planning period (i.e., next 10–15 years). 

DATES: Comments concerning the scope 

of the analysis must be received within 

30 days following the date of 

publication of this NOI. The Draft EIS is 

expected to be available in mid- to latewinter 2008 for a 90-day comment 

period. The single Final EIS and three 

RODs, one for each Forest Plan, are 

expected to be completed by late 

summer 2008. 

ADDRESSES: Send written comments to 

Randall Hayman, Forest Planner, Boise 

National Forest; 1249 South Vinnell 

Way, Suite 200; Boise, Idaho 83709; or 

by fax at 208–373–4111; or you may 

hand-deliver your comments to the 

Boise Forest Supervisor’s Office, located 

at 1249 South Vinnell Way, Suite 200, 

Boise, during normal business hours 

from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday 

through Friday, excluding Federal 

holidays. Electronic comments must be 

submitted in a format such as an e-mail 

message, plain text (.txt), rich text 

format (.rtf), or Word (.doc) to: 

comments-intermtn-boise@fs.fed.us. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Randall Hayman, Forest Planner, Boise 

National Forest at the address above. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Separate 

RODs for revised Forest Plans were 

issued in July 2003 for each of the SWIE 

National Forests (Boise, Payette, and 

Sawtooth). The RODs implemented 

Alternative 7, as identified in the single 

FINAL EIS that disclosed the 

environmental effects of the seven 

alternative Forest Plan strategies 

considered for these three National 

Forests. Implementation of the three 

revised Forest Plans began in September 

2003. 

Analyses supporting Forest Plan 

Revision identified wildlife habitats that 

had declined from historical conditions 

and associated these habitats with 

species of conservation concern (2003 

Final EIS, pp. 3–255 to 3–289). Based on 

an update to the 2003 multi-scale 

analysis initiated in 2005, the Forest 

Supervisors for the three Forests are in 


rmajette on PROD1PC64 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 178 / Friday, September 14, 2007 / Notices 52541 

the process of identifying priorities for 

maintaining and restoring habitats 

during the current 10–15 year planning 

period, as part of the comprehensive 

WCS. The WCS will also identify 

priorities for longer-term maintenance 

and restoration for other habitats that 

have experienced varying levels of 

decline. 

The analysis supporting the revised 

Forest Plans, and subsequent updates to 

this multi-scale analysis, were 

developed using the principles and 

scientific methods generated during the 

Interior Columbia Basin Ecosystem 

Management Project (Boise Forest Plan, 

p. II–41; Payette Forest Plan, p. II–41; 

Sawtooth Forest Plan, p. II–38). The 

updated analysis also incorporates new 

information generated after the Forest 

Plans were revised in July 2003, 

including best available science as of 

this date. New information includes 

mid-scale assessments such as the 2005 

Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation 

Strategies for the States of Idaho and 

Utah, respectively, and the 2006 

Conservation Plan for the Greater Sage 

Grouse in Idaho. 

Purpose and Need for Action 

The SWIE revised Forest Plans 

identified the need to include 

management direction to focus 

restoration activities in habitats for 

species of concern (Boise and Payette 

Forest Plans, p. II–10 and, Sawtooth 

Forest Plan, p. II–9). However, while the 

2003 Forest Plans include general 

direction that addresses this need, they 

do not include specific direction that 

spatially prioritizes one habitat area 

over another at scales smaller than 

Forest Plan management areas. 

Recognizing the importance of 

completing this task, the Responsible 

Official included, in each of the 2003 

Plans, Forest Plan wildlife objective 

(WIOB03), which calls for prioritizing 

wildlife habitat to be restored at a midor Forest-scale using information from 

sources such as species habitat models 

and fine scale analyses. 

Therefore, the purpose of this action 

is twofold: (1) To amend management 

direction and/or other components of 

the SWIE Forest Plans to reflect findings 

and priorities identified in the WCS as 

needed to guide Forest Plan 

implementation for the remainder of 

this planning period; and (2) to update 

the wildlife assessments pertaining to 

36 CFR 219.19 (1982) as needed to 

reflect findings in updated analyses, as 

well as outcomes anticipated from 

implementing the amended Forest 

Plans. 

Proposed Action 

The proposed action is to implement 

nonsignificant Forest Plan amendments 

that will include new or modified 

management direction and/or other 

components of the three Forest Plans, as 

needed, to reflect findings and priorities 

identified in the WCS to guide Forest 

Plan implementation for the remainder 

of this planning period. 

Responsible Officials 

The Responsible Officials are the 

three Forest Supervisors for the Boise, 

Payette, and Sawtooth National Forests: 

Richard A. Smith, Forest Supervisor 

for the Boise National Forest, USDA—

Forest Service; 1249 South Vinnell Way, 

Suite 200, Boise, Idaho 83709. 

Suzanne C. Rainville, Forest 

Supervisor for the Payette National 

Forest, USDA—Forest Service; 800 West 

Lakeside Avenue, McCall, Idaho 83638. 

Jane P. Kollmeyer, Forest Supervisor 

for the Sawtooth National Forest, 

USDA—Forest Service; 2647 Kimberly 

Road East, Twin Falls, Idaho 83301. 

Nature of Decision To Be Made 

The Responsible Officials will review 

the Final EIS and determine if the 2003 

Plan for his/her respective Forest should 

be amended and/or modified, or if the 

current Forest Plan should remain 

unchanged. 

Scoping Process 

Written comments must be received 

within 30 days from the day following 

publication of this NOI in the Federal 

Register. Providing comments within 

this time period ensures that they will 

be available to the Forest Service at a 

time when it can meaningfully consider 

them during preparation of the specific 

proposed amendments and Draft EIS. 

Additional opportunities for public 

participation will be provided following 

completion of specific proposed 

amendments, prior to release of the 

Draft EIS. Information and status 

updates of this amendment process, 

including specific proposed 

amendments, will begin to be posted on 

the Web site, http://www.fs.fed.us/r4/ 

boise/, by early winter 2007. 

Early Notice of Importance of Public 

Participation in Subsequent 

Environmental Review 

A legal notice will be published in the 

newspaper of record for each National 

Forest and a Notice of Availability 

(NOA) will be published in the Federal 

Register to inform the public when the 

Draft EIS is available for review and 

comment. The Draft EIS will be 

distributed to all parties who respond 

during the scoping process, or who 

otherwise notify the agency at some 

point following publication of this NOI 

of their interest to continue to receive 

information pertaining to this proposal. 

The comment period on the Draft EIS 

will end 90 days from the date the 

Environmental Protection Agency 

publishes the NOA 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 EISs 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 EIS 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 90-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 EIS 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 EIS 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.
