announcing our decision to authorize 

the importation into the United States of 

Hass avocados from Guatemala subject

from Guatemala will be subject to the 

general requirements listed in § 319.56– 

3 that are applicable to the importation 

of all fruits and vegetables.

Cimarron and Comanche National 

Grasslands; Baca, Las Animas, and 

Otero Counties, Colorado; Morton and 

Stevens Counties, Kansas; Land 

Management Plan Revision 

AGENCY: Forest Service, Agriculture 

(USDA). 

ACTION: Notice of intent to initiate the 

assessment phase of the land 

management plan revision for the 

Cimarron and Comanche National 

Grasslands. 

SUMMARY: The Forest Service, U.S. 

Department of Agriculture, is initiating 

the land management plan (plan) 

revision process, pursuant to the 2012 

Planning Rule and as directed by the 

National Forest Management Act, for the 

Cimarron and Comanche National 

Grasslands located in Southeast 

Colorado and Southwest Kansas. 

Currently, the Cimarron and Comanche 

National Grasslands receive 

management direction from the 1984 

Pike and San Isabel National Forests 

and Comanche and Cimarron National 

Grasslands Land and Resource 

Management Plan. Ultimately, this 

process will result in a new, separate 

plan for the Cimarron and Comanche 

National Grasslands and will guide all 

resource management activities on the 

grasslands for approximately fifteen 

years, while the remaining portion of 

the existing 1984 plan for the Pike and 

San Isabel National Forests will remain 

unchanged. This notice announces the 

initiation of the assessment phase, 

which is the preliminary stage of the 

plan revision process. The assessment 

will identify and consider relevant and 

readily accessible material about 

ecological, social, and economic 

conditions and trends in the planning 

area, including best available scientific 

information. Findings will be 

documented in an assessment report. 

Trends and conditions identified in the 

assessment will help describe the need 

to change the plan and inform revision 

of the plan. 

DATES: In spring 2024, the Forest 

Supervisor of the Pike-San Isabel 

National Forests and Cimarron and 

Comanche National Grasslands and staff 

initiated engagement with Tribes 

followed by additional outreach to 

county, state, and other Federal 

agencies. In April 2024, the Forest 

Supervisor sent Tribes formal 

government-to-government invitations 

to consult on the plan. In addition, in 

September 2024, the Forest Supervisor 

sent Tribes invitations to serve as 

cooperating agencies for the plan 

revision process. Counties and other 

local governments will also be given the 

opportunity to serve as cooperating 

agencies in the planning process. 

Extensive engagement with 

stakeholders, Tribes, Federal 

government agencies, local 

governments, and non-profits groups is 

planned throughout the assessment 

phase. Interested parties can learn more 

about dates and formats of planned 

public engagement opportunities to be 

held throughout the plan revision 

process by visiting the Cimarron and 

Comanche National Grasslands Plan 

Revision website: https://

www.fs.usda.gov/detail/psicc/ 

landmanagement/planning/ 

?cid=FSEPRD1169904. 

A draft assessment for public review 

and comment is anticipated in summer 

2025. The Forest Service will review 

and incorporate public comments and 

additional information from tribal 

consultation on the draft assessment 

and produce a final assessment and 

need to change the plan that will inform 

subsequent phases of the plan revision 

process. The Forest Service may then 

initiate procedures pursuant to the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) to prepare a revised land 

management plan in compliance with 

the National Forest System land 

management planning rule (36 CFR part 

219).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

National Forest Management Act of 

1976 requires that the Forest Service 

develop a land management plan for 

every national forest and grassland. 

Land management plans provide the 

strategic direction for management of 

forest or grassland resources and are 

amendable as conditions change over 

time. The Pike and San Isabel National 

Forests and Comanche and Cimarron 

National Grasslands Land and Resource 

Management Plan was adopted in 1984. 

The Cimarron and Comanche National 

Grasslands (CCNGs) are currently 

included and managed under the 1984 

plan. This planning process will result 

in a standalone management plan for 

the CCNGs. The CCNGs include two 

national grasslands (the Cimarron, 

108,621 acres, located in Kansas, and 

the Comanche, 443,642 acres, located in 

Colorado) encompassing a total of 

552,263 acres of public land. The 

CCNGs largely consist of isolated and 

checkerboard parcels with minimal 

consolidated and contiguous Federal 

land ownership. The three largest 

community hubs within the planning 

area are La Junta and Springfield, 

Colorado, and Elkhart, Kansas. 

The planning rule requires that the 

Responsible Official complete an 

assessment for the development of a
