AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: Two changes have been made

Federal Register notice (61 FR 21438).

These changes are for the Paisley Ranger

District on the Fremont National Forest

(Oregon) and Paulina Ranger District on

the Ochoco National Forest (Oregon).

This updated notice lists the

newspapers that will be used by all

ranger districts, forests, and the

Regional Office of the Pacific Northwest

Region to publish legal notice of all

decisions subject to appeal under 36

CFR Parts 215 and 217 and to publish

notice for public comment and notice of

decisions subject to the provisions of 36

CFR Part 215. The intended effect of this

action is to inform interested members

of the public which newspapers will be

used to publish the legal notice for

public comment or decision. This

allows the public to receive constructive

notice of a decision, to provide clear

evidence of timely notice, and to

achieve consistency in administering

the appeal process.

DATES: Publication of legal notices in

the listed newspapers will begin with

proposals for public comment or

decisions subject to appeal that are

made on or after June 1, 1998. The list

of newspapers will remain in effect

until another notice is published in the

Federal Register.

Service

McKenzie Creek Watershed—Wayne,

AGENCY: Natural Resources

Conservation Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice of a finding of no

significant impact.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 102(2)(c)

of the National Environmental Policy

Act of 1969; the Council on

Environmental Quality Regulations (40

CFR Part 1500); and the Natural

Resources Conservation Service

Regulations (7 CFR Part 650); the

Natural Resources Conservation Service,

U.S. Department of Agriculture, gives

notice that an environmental impact

statement is not being prepared for the

McKenzie Creek Watershed—Wayne,

Iron, and Reynolds Counties, Missouri.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Roger A. Hansen, State Conservationist,

Natural Resources Conservation Service,

Parkade Center, Suite 250, 601 business

Loop 70 West, Columbia, Missouri,

65203, (573) 876–0901.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

environmental assessment of this

federally assisted action indicates that

the project will not cause significant

adverse local, regional, or national

impacts on the environment. As a result

of these findings, Roger A. Hansen, State

Conservationist, has determined that the

preparation and review of an

environmental impact statement are not

needed for this project.

The project purposes are flood

damage reduction, reduction of erosion

and sediment, recreational

development, and enhancement of fish

and wildlife habitats. The planned

works of improvement include

voluntary acquisition of 105 floodplain

properties, demolition or relocation of

buildings from the acquisition area,

development of greenway (recreational)

facilities in the resulting open spaces,

installation of streambank protection

and restoration measures, and

restoration of riparian areas to benefit

fish and wildlife habitats.

The Notice Of A Finding Of No

Significant Impact (FONSI) has been

forwarded to the Environmental

Protection Agency and to various

federal, state, and local agencies and

interested parties. A limited number of

copies of the FONSI are available to fill

single copy requests at the above

address. Basic data developed during

the environmental assessment are on

file and may be reviewed by contacting

Michael D. Wells, Assistant State

Conservationist at (573) 876–0900.

No administrative action on

implementation of the proposal will be

taken until 30 days after the date of this

publication in the Federal Register.

(This activity is listed in the Catalog of

Federal Domestic Assistance under NO.

10.904, Watershed Protection and Flood

Prevention, and is subject to the provisions

of Executive Order 12372, which requires

intergovernmental consultation with State

and local officials)
