SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Subcommittee on Aquaculture (SCA) is 

seeking public comment on a draft 

outline of the Strategic Plan for 

Aquaculture Economic Development 

(SPAED), and information on a planned 

update to the 1983 National 

Aquaculture Development Plan (NADP). 

The SCA is a statutory subcommittee 

that operates under the Committee on 

Environment of the National Science 

and Technology Council (NSTC) under 

the Office of Science and Technology 

Policy in the Executive Office of the 

President [National Aquaculture Act of 

1980 (Pub. L. 96–362. 94 Stat. 1198, 16 

U.S.C. 2801, et seq.) and the National 

Aquaculture Improvement Act of 1985 

(Pub. L. 99–198, 99 Stat. 1641)]. In May 

of 2020, the SCA established a Task 

Force charged with developing the 

SPAED, and this Task Force is seeking 

public comment on a draft outline 

regarding the goals and objectives to be 

included. The draft outline is available 

at https://www.ars.usda.gov/SCA/. In 

addition, the National Aquaculture Act 

of 1980 required select federal agencies 

to develop, and update as necessary, the 

NADP. Last completed in 1983, the 

NADP describes aquaculture associated 

technologies, problems, and 

opportunities in the United States and 

its territories. It recommends actions to 

solve problems, and analyzes the social, 

environmental, and economic impacts 

of growth in aquaculture. As announced 

in the Federal Register in August 2021, 

the SCA is updating the NADP, which 

will incorporate by reference the final 

and any subsequent updated versions of 

the National Strategic Plan for 

Aquaculture Research (NSPAR), the 

Strategic Plan to Enhance Regulatory 

Efficiency in Aquaculture (SPEREA), 

and the SPAED. The NSPAR and the 

SPEREA are in the final stages of 

review. Draft versions can be found at 

www.ars.usda.gov/sca, where final 

versions will be posted once approved. 

The SCA is seeking comments on 

additional topics to be covered in the 

NADP.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 

Forest Service 

Helena-Lewis and Clark National 

Forest; Montana; Telegraph Vegetation 

Project 

AGENCY: Forest Service, Agriculture 

(USDA). 

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare a 

draft supplemental environmental 

impact statement. 

SUMMARY: The Helena-Lewis and Clark 

National Forest, Helena Ranger District, 

Montana, intends to prepare a draft 

supplemental environmental impact 

statement for the Telegraph Vegetation 

Project. The Telegraph Vegetation 

Project was approved by Helena-Lewis 

and Clark Forest Supervisor William 

Avey on January 9, 2017. When 

analyzing the wildland urban interface 

within the Telegraph Vegetation project, 

the Forest used the Region 1 Healthy 

Forest Restoration Act wildland urban 

interface boundary definition, rather 

than the 2005 Powell County 

Community Wildland Protection Plan, 

which defined the wildland urban 

interface differently. In addition, the 

Forest conducted 8.4 acres of treatments 

in lynx habitat under the assumption 

they were located in the wildland urban 

interface. However, they were outside of 

the 2005 Powell County Community 

Protection Plan wildland urban 

interface boundary. To address these 

discrepancies, a supplemental 

environmental impact statement is 

being prepared to assess what action 

should be taken. The draft supplemental 

environmental impact statement will be 

circulated. 

DATES: Comments concerning the scope 

of the analysis must be received by May 

2, 2022. The draft supplemental 

environmental impact statement is 

expected April 2022 and the final 

supplemental environmental impact 

statement is expected June 2022. 

ADDRESSES: Send written comments to

Drive, Helena, MT 59602. Comments
