10664 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 39 / Friday, February 27, 2015 / Notices 

comments and assistance from federal, 

state, and local agencies and individuals 

or organizations that may be interested 

in or affected by the proposed action. 

The Forest Service conducts scoping 

according to the Council on 

Environmental Quality (CEQ) 

regulations (40 CFR 1501.7). In addition 

to other public involvment, this Notice 

of Intent initiates an early and open 

process for determining the scope of 

issues to be addressed in the EIS and for 

identifying the significant issues related 

to a proposed action. This scoping 

process allows the Forest Service to not 

only identify significant environmental 

issues deserving of study, but also to 

deemphasize insignificant issues, 

narrowing the scope of the EIS process 

accordingly (40 CFR 1500.4(g)). 

Comment Requested 

This Notice of Intent initiates the 

scoping proces which guides the 

development of the EIS. Comments on 

the proposed action should be 

submitted within 45 days of the date of 

publication of this Notice of Intent. 

Early Notice of Importance of Public 

Participation in Subsequent 

Environmental Review 

A draft EIS will be available for 

comment when the Environmental 

Protection Agency publishes the notice 

of availability 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 a draft EIS 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 EIS 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 during the 

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 EIS. 

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.

we receive by April 28, 2015.

Instructions: All comments should be

of this issue of the Federal Register. The 

information collection package, public

relating to this action will be available 

for public inspection in the above office 

during regular business hours (7 CFR 

1.27(b)). Please call GIPSA’s

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

information regarding the collection of 

information activities and the use of the 

information, contact Candace Hildreth 

at (202) 720–0203. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Congress 

enacted The United States Grain 

Standards Act (USGSA) (7 U.S.C. 71– 

87k) to facilitate the marketing of grain 

in interstate and foreign commerce. The 

USGSA, with few exceptions, requires 

that all grain shipped from the United 

States must be officially inspected and 

officially weighed. The USGSA 

authorizes the Department of 

Agriculture to waive the mandatory 

inspection and weighing requirements 

of the USGSA in circumstances when 

the objectives of the USGSA would not 

be impaired. 

The Grain Inspection, Packers and 

Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) 

amended section 7 CFR 800.18 of the 

regulations to waive the mandatory 

inspection and weighing requirements 

of the USGSA for high quality specialty 

grain exported in containers. GIPSA 

established this waiver to facilitate the 

marketing of high quality specialty grain 

exported in containers. GIPSA 

determined that this action was 

consistent with the objectives of the 

USGSA and would promote the 

continuing development of the high 

quality specialty grain export market. 

To ensure that exporters of high 

quality specialty grain complied with 

this waiver, GIPSA required exporters to 

maintain records generated during the 

normal course of business that pertain 

to these shipments and make these 

documents available to GIPSA upon 

request for review or copying purposes 

(76 FR 45397). These records shall be 

maintained for a period of 3 years. This 

information collection requirement is 

essential to ensure that exporters who 

ship high quality specialty grain in 

containers comply with the waiver 

provisions. GIPSA does not require 

exporters of high quality specialty grain 

to complete and submit new Federal 

government record(s), form(s), or 

report(s).
