Public participation is important to

the analysis. People may visit with

Forest Service officials at any time

during the analysis and prior to the

decision. No formal scoping meetings

are planned. However, two periods are

specifically designated for comments on

the analysis:

(1) During this scoping process; and

(2) During the draft EIS comment

period.

During the scoping process, the Forest

Service is seeking information and

comments from Federal, State, and local

agencies and other individuals or

organizations who may be interested in

or affected by the proposed action. A

scoping document will be mailed to

parties known to be interested in the

proposed action. The agency invites

written comments and suggestions on

this action, particularly in terms of

issues and alternatives.

The Forest Service will continue to

involve the public and will inform

interested and affected parties as to how

they may participate and contribute to

the final decision. Another formal

opportunity for response will be

provided following completion of a

draft EIS.

The draft EIS should be available for

review in March, 1999. The final EIS is

scheduled for completion in June, 1999.

The comment period on the draft EIS

will be 45 days from the date the

Environmental Protection Agency

publishes the notice of availability in

the Federal Register.

The Forest Service believes it is

important, at this early stage, to give

reviewers notice of several court rulings

related to public participation in the

environmental review process. First,

reviewers of draft environmental impact

statements must structure their

participation in the environmental

review of the proposal so it is

meaningful and alerts the agency to the

reviewer’s position and contentions.

Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corp. v.

NRDC, 435 U.S. 519, 533 (1978). Also,

environmental objections that could be

raised at the draft environmental impact

statement stage but are not raised until

after completion of the final

environmental impact statement may be

waived or dismissed by the courts. City

of Angoon v. Hodel, 803 F.2d 1016,

1022 (9th Cir. 1986) and Wisconsin

Heritage v. Harris, 490 F. Supp. 1334,

1338 (E.D. Wis. 1980). Because of these

court rulings, it is very important those

interested in this proposed action

participate by the close of the 45 day

comment period so 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

environmental impact statement.

To assist the Forest Service in

identifying and considering issues and

concerns on the proposed action,

comments on the draft environmental

impact statement 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 environmental

impact statement 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.

I am the responsible official for this

environmental impact statement. My

address is Lolo National Forest,

Building 24, Fort Missoula, Missoula

MT 59804.

Authority: 40 CFR 1508.220.
