800–877–8339 between 8:00 a.m. and 

8:00 p.m. (Eastern time), Monday 

through Friday. 

More information on the planning 

process can also be found on the 

Chugach National Forest Planning Web 

site at www.fs.usda.gov/main/chugach/

landmanagement/planning. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to the 2012 Forest Planning Rule (36 

CFR Part 219), the planning process 

encompasses three-stages: assessment, 

plan revision, and monitoring. The first 

stage of the planning process involves 

assessing social, economic, and 

ecological conditions of the planning 

area, which is documented in an 

assessment report. The assessment 

report for the Chugach NF is being 

completed and will be available around 

September 1, 2014 on the Forest Web 

site at www.fs.usda.gov/main/chugach/

landmanagement/planning. 

This notice announces the start of the 

second stage of the planning process, 

which is the development of the land 

management plan revision. The first 

task of plan revision is to develop a 

preliminary ‘‘need for change,’’ which 

identifies the need to change 

management direction in the current 

plan due to information already 

received about the planning area from 

the public or employees, changing 

conditions or monitoring information. 

The next task is to develop a proposed 

action, which considers which items 

identified in the need for change will be 

addressed in the revision. We are 

inviting the public to further help us 

develop our preliminary ‘‘need for 

change’’ which will inform the 

proposed action. 

A proposed action will initiate our 

compliance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act. A Notice of 

Intent to prepare an environmental 

impact statement for the land 

management plan revision, which will 

include a description of the preliminary 

need for change and a description of the 

proposed action, is anticipated to be 

published around March 1, 2015 in the 

Federal Register. 

Forest plans developed under the 

National Forest Management Act 

(NFMA) of 1976 describe the strategic 

direction for management of forest 

resources for ten to fifteen years, and are 

adaptive and amendable as conditions 

change over time. The Forest Plan for 

the Chugach NF was approved in 2002 

and has been amended five times. On 

January 31, 2013 and February 7, 2013, 

public announcements were made that 

the Chugach NF was beginning to work 

on the Assessment for revising their 

Forest Plan. This notice announces the 

start of the second stage of the planning 

process, the development of the land 

management plan revision. Once the 

plan revision is completed, it will be 

subject to the objection procedures of 36 

CFR Part 219, Subpart B, before it can 

be approved. The third stage of the 

planning process is the monitoring and 

evaluation of the revised plan, which is 

ongoing over the life of the revised plan. 

As public meetings, other 

opportunities for public engagement, 

and public review and comment 

opportunities are identified to assist 

with the development of the forest plan 

revision, public announcements will be 

made, notifications will be posted on 

the Forest’s Web site at 

www.fs.usda.gov/chugach and 

information will be sent out to the 

Forest’s mailing list. If anyone is 

interested in being on the Forest’s 

mailing list to receive these 

notifications, please contact Karl Vester, 

Documents Coordinator, at the address 

identified above, or by sending an email 

to FS-comments-alaska-chugach@
