Tongass Land Management Plan

Revision, Tongass National Forest,

Alaska

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare a

revised supplement to the draft

environmental impact statement.

SUMMARY: The Forest Service will

prepare a revised supplement to the

draft environmental impact statement

on a proposal to revise the Tongass

Land Management Plan. This is a

revision of the supplement published in

August 1991.

DATES: Formal comments are not being

solicited at this time. A revised

supplement to the draft environment

impact statement is scheduled to be

filed with the Environmental Protection

Agency in November 1995, at which

time a formal comment period will

begin.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gary

Lidholm, Public Affairs Officer, Tongass

Revision Team, 8465 Old Dairy Road,

Juneau, AK 99801. Telephone (907)

586–8726.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

original notice of intent for the Tongass

Land Management Plan revision was

published September 10, 1987 (52 FR

34264, *34265). A draft environmental

impact statement was available for

public review and comment from July

1990 to January 1991, and a supplement

to that draft was available from

September to December 1991. Release of

a final environmental impact statement

was delayed pending completion of

additional studies. Based on the results

of these studies, other new information,

and the lapse of time since public

review of the supplement, the Forest

Service has decided to issue another

draft document, the revised supplement,

for public review.

The issues identified in the August

1991 supplement to the draft

environmental impact statement have

been updated. The focus for the revised

supplement will be on the following

specific issues: providing for species

viability consistent with the provisions

of NFMA and the Endangered Species

Act; evaluating recommendations for

additional fisheries habitat protection;

cave and karst management; ensuring

conformance with ecosystem

management principles; and the socioeconomic effects of alternative actions.

The alternatives described in the 1991

supplement will be the basis for

formulating alternatives to deal with

these issues.

A partnership approach with the

agency’s Pacific Northwest Research

Station (PNW) will be an important

vehicle to bring science to bear on the

issues. PNW will be involved along with

the Alaska Region of the Forest Service

at every phase of the project. Other

federal agencies are being asked to

cooperate in the planning process,

including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife

Service, the National Marine Fisheries

Service, and the Environmental

Protection Agency. In addition, the

skills and expertise of Alaska State

agencies and Alaska tribal governments

will be sought.

A revised supplement to the draft

environment impact statement is

anticipated to be filed with the

Environmental Protection Agency in

November 1995, and a final

environmental impact statement is

projected for June 1996.

The responsible official is Phil Janik,

Regional Forester, Alaska Region, P.O.

Box 21628, Juneau, AK 99801.

A 90-day public comment period on

the revised supplement to the draft

environmental impact statement will

begin on the date the Environmental

Protection Agency publishes the notice

of availability in the Federal Register.

An extensive scoping process has

already taken place with respect to the

proposed TLMP revision. No further

formal scoping process is scheduled as

part of the preparation of the revised

supplement to the draft environmental

impact statement. Public meetings are

expected and will be announced.

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 draft environmental impact

statements (or, in this case, the revised

supplement to the draft) 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,

objections that could be raised at the

draft (or revised supplement to the

draft) environmental impact statement

stage but that 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 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 by the close of the 90 day

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

environmental impact statement.

The revised supplement is preceded

by two other draft documents (the 1990

draft and 1991 supplement referred to

earlier). Reviewers should note that

comments on either of these two

previous documents are still valid, and

will be considered along with all

comments received on the revised

supplement in reaching a final decision.

Participation in any of the three

comments periods satisfies the intent of

the previous discussion, provided that

the reviewer’s position and/or concerns

have been raised.

To assist the Forest Service in

identifying and considering issues and
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 86 / Thursday, May 4, 1995 / Notices 22045

concerns on the proposed action,

comments on the revised supplement to

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 revised

supplement to 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.
