alternatives. The Revised Draft

Environmental Impact Statement is

scheduled for publication in March

1998 and the Final Environmental

Impact Statement and Record of

Decision is schedule for publication in

August 1998.

The Forest Service believes, at this

early stage, it is important to alert

reviewers about 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 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 important that those

interested in this proposed action

participate by the close of the Draft

Environmental Impact Statement 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

The Census Bureau conducted three

earlier National Employers Surveys

(1994, 1995 and 1997) for the National

Center on the Educational Quality of the

Workforce (EQW), a nonprofit research

group. This group’s focus is discovering

relationships among employment,

hiring, training, education, and business

success. This information collection

seeks to build upon the results of the

previous surveys.

This information collection seeks to

gather information on employees’

histories and to identify employees’

perceptions regarding employerprovided training and job-related

educational requirements. The

collection will relate these employees’

responses to similar information

collected previously from employers in

the 1997 National Employers Survey

(NES–3). The purpose is to identify

those areas where employee and

employer views are similar and where

they are different. This information then

would be used to suggest areas where

additional emphasis regarding employer

job requirements are needed to enable

potential employees to qualify for

employment.
