The Forest Service predicts the draft

environmental impact statement will be

filed during the winter of 1995/96 and

the final environmental impact

statement during the summer of 1996.

The Forest Service will seek

comments on the draft environmental

impact statement for a period of 45 days

after its publication. Comments will

then be summarized and responded to

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 environmental

impact 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 is addressing these points.)

The Forest Service believes it is

important to give reviewers notice at

this early stage of several court rulings

related to public participation in the

environmental review process. First,

reviewers of draft environmental impact

statement 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,

environmental objections that could be

raised at the DEIS stage but that are not

raised until after completion of the Final

EIS may be waived or dismissed by the

courts. City of Anqoon 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 45 day comment period so that

substantive comments and objections

are made available to the Forest Service

at a time when they can meaningfully

consider them and respond to them in

the final environmental impact

statement.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Rural Housing and

Community Development Service

(RHCDS) announces a pilot test of

software to provide an automated

interface between RHCDS and

borrowers with Multiple Family

Housing (MFH) projects to exchange

MFH tenant information. The objective

of the automated interface is to

dramatically reduce reporting burden

and streamline internal processing.

DATES: Borrowers who have projects in

the pilot servicing offices and wish to

participate in the pilot should contact

their servicing office after June 1, 1995.

Servicing offices participating in the

pilot will receive informational

packages for distribution by June 1,

1995.

ADDRESSES: RECD servicing offices

participating in the pilot are as follows:

RECD State Office, 3003 North Central

Avenue, Suite 900, Phoenix, Arizona

is not a toll free number.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The pilot

test is scheduled to begin during June

1995, and will be conducted in five

local servicing offices. The pilot will

determine if software developed by

RHCDS can effectively transmit tenant

data from borrower management sites to

the servicing office. No ending date for

the pilot has been established at this

time.

During a later phase of the pilot,

software developed by private vendors

will be permitted to transmit

information through the pilot system.

To assist private software developers

who wish to participate in the second

phase of the pilot, the RHCDS National

Office will provide a copy of the official

information transmission format upon

request. On June 1, 1995, at 2:00 PM, a

meeting with RHCDS and interested

software and housing industry

representatives will be held in Room

0204, South Agriculture Building, 14th

and Independence Avenue, Washington,

DC, to discuss the pilot and other

automation issues. Any individual or

group interested in MFH automation is

welcome to attend.

During the pilot period, RHCDS will

work closely with borrowers to assure

the successful completion of the pilot.

Administrative flexibility will be

provided to accommodate tenant data

submission in a pilot environment.

Borrowers interested in participating in

the pilot may contact the appropriate

servicing office address above for more

information.
