private property, or county roads that 

groomed trails have historically passed 

through. 

4. To groom trails consistent with 

historical grooming practices, when 

there are 12 or more inches of snow, and 

formally adopt California State Parks’ 

Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation 

(OHMVR) Division snow depth 

standards for grooming to occur. 

5. To implement a forest-wide snow 

depth requirement for OSV use that 

would provide for public safety and 

natural and cultural resource protection 

by allowing off-trail, cross-country OSV 

use in designated Areas when there is 

a minimum of 12 inches of continuous 

and supportable snow covering the 

landscape; and allow OSV use on 

designated National Forest System snow 

trails when there is a minimum of 6 

inches of snow, regardless of the 

underlying surface. When the snowdepth requirement is not met, OSV use 

would be prohibited. 

These actions would begin 

immediately upon the issuance of the 

record of decision, which is expected in 

October of 2016. The Forest Service 

would produce an OSV use map 

(OSVUM) that would look like the 

existing motor vehicle use map (MVUM) 

for the Eldorado National Forest. Such 

a map would allow OSV enthusiasts to 

identify the routes and Areas where 

OSV use would be allowed on the 

Eldorado National Forest. 

Responsible Official 

The Eldorado National Forest 

Supervisor will issue the decision. 

Nature of Decision To Be Made 

This decision will designate OSV use 

on National Forest System roads, on 

National Forest System trails, and in 

Areas on National Forest System lands 

on the Eldorado National Forest where 

snowfall is adequate for that use to 

occur. It will also identify the National 

Forest System trails where grooming 

would occur. The decision would only 

apply to the use of over-snow vehicles 

as defined in the Forest Service’s Travel 

Management Regulations (36 CFR 

212.1). The Forest Supervisor will 

consider all reasonable alternatives and 

decide whether to continue current 

management of OSV uses on the 

Eldorado National Forest, implement 

the proposed action, or select an 

alternative for the management of OSV 

uses. 

Scoping Process 

This notice of intent initiates the 

scoping process, which guides the 

development of the environmental 

impact statement. 

It is important that reviewers provide 

their comments at such times and in 

such manner that they are useful to the 

agency’s preparation of the 

environmental impact statement. 

Written comments should be within the 

scope of the proposed action, have a 

direct relationship to the proposed 

action, and must include supporting 

reasons for the responsible official to 

consider. Therefore, comments should 

be provided prior to the close of the 

comment period and should clearly 

articulate the reviewer’s concerns and 

contentions. The preferred format for 

attachments to electronically submitted 

comments would be as an MS Word 

document. Attachments in portable 

document format (pdf) are not preferred, 

but are acceptable. 

Comments received in response to 

this solicitation, including names and 

addresses of those who comment, will 

be part of the public record for this 

proposed action. Comments submitted 

anonymously will be accepted and 

considered, however. 

The Eldorado National Forest OverSnow Vehicle (OSV) Use Designation is 

an activity implementing a land 

management plan. It is not an activity 

authorized under the Healthy Forests 

Restoration Act of 2003 (Pub. L. 108– 

148). Therefore, this activity is subject 

to pre-decisional administrative review 

consistent with the Consolidated 

Appropriations Act of 2012 (Pub. L. 

112–74) as implemented by subparts A 

and B of 36 CFR part 218.

decrease in sales or production of each 

petitioning firm.
