specifically for the Cal-Neva

Management Framework Plan of 1982.

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION: Scoping

commenced on November 28, 1994 with

the publication of the original Notice of

Intent in the Federal Register. Public

meetings were held on January 10, 1995

in Sacramento, California; January 11,

1995 in Reno, Nevada; January 12, 1995

in Susanville, California; and January

13, 1995 in Alturas, California. All

comments received since scoping

commenced and during the public

meetings are being considered in this

process. A new scoping period is not

being started.
