[Doc. No. AMS–FGIS–21–0010] 

United States Standards for Sorghum 

AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, 

USDA. 

ACTION: Final notice. 

SUMMARY: This action is being taken 

under the authority of the United States 

Grain Standards Act, as amended, 

(USGSA). The United States Department 

of Agriculture’s (USDA) Agricultural 

Marketing Service (AMS) is making no 

changes regarding the United States 

(U.S.) Standards for Sorghum under the 

USGSA. 

DATES: Applicability date: Upon 

Publication in the Federal Register. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Loren Almond, USDA AMS; Telephone: 

(816) 702–3925; email: 

Loren.L.Almond@usda.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 4 

of the USGSA (7 U.S.C. 76(a)) grants the 

Secretary of Agriculture the authority to 

establish standards for sorghum and 

other grains regarding kind, class, 

quality, and condition. AMS published 

a Notice in the Federal Register on 

March 26, 2021 (86 FR 16181), inviting 

interested parties to comment on 

whether current sorghum standards and 

grading practices needed to be 

amended. 

AMS received a total of two 

comments on the U.S. Standards for 

Sorghum. AMS received one comment 

from the national commodity 

organization representing sorghum 

producers stating that producers were 

satisfied that current standards were 

working for the market and 

recommended AMS make no changes to 

standards. Additionally, the comment 

recommended three areas that 

producers might wish to engage in 

discussions with AMS in the future. 

These areas were: Potential for new 

sorghum classes; research to develop an 

electronic odor determination 

instrument; and changing the unit of 

measurement for sorghum from hundred 

weights to bushels. AMS received a 

joint comment from two organizations 

representing grain elevator operators 

that stated the standards were meeting 

the needs of the market and did not 

need amendment. The joint comment 

concurred with the national commodity 

organization’s position on future 

research areas. AMS welcomes the 

opportunity to engage with stakeholders 

on these matters. 

Final Action 

Based on the comments received, 

AMS is making no changes to the U.S 

Standards for Sorghum at this time. 

Authority: 7 U.S.C. 71–87k.

landmanagement/planning. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Nature of Decision To Be Made 

The Manti-La Sal National Forest is 

preparing an EIS to revise the existing 

LMP. The EIS process is meant to 

inform the forest supervisor so he can 

decide which alternative best maintains 

and restores terrestrial and aquatic 

resources while providing ecosystem 

services and multiple uses on National 

Forest System lands as required by the 

National Forest Management Act and 

the Multiple Use Sustained Yield Act. 

The revised LMP will describe the 

strategic intent of managing the MantiLa Sal National Forest for the next 10 to 

15 years and will address the identified 

need for change to the existing LMP. 

The revised LMP will provide 

management direction in the form of 

desired conditions, objectives, 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
47470 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 162 / Wednesday, August 25, 2021 / Notices 

standards, guidelines, and suitability of 

lands. 

Identifying the types of decisions that 

will not be made within the revised 

LMP is important. The revised LMP will 

represent decisions that are strategic in 

natures but will not make site-specific 

project decisions and will not dictate 

the day-to-day administrative activities 

needed to carry on the Forest Service’s 

internal operations. Although the 

authorization of project-level activities 

will be based on the guidance and 

direction contained in the revised LMP, 

analysis will occur through subsequent 

project-specific National Environmental 

Policy Act (NEPA) analysis and 

decision-making. 

The revised LMP will provide broad, 

strategic guidance designed to 

supplement, not replace, overarching 

laws and regulations. Though strategic 

guidance will be provided, no decisions 

will be made regarding the management 

of individual roads or trails, such as 

those that might be associated with a 

travel management plan under 36 CFR 

212. Some issues (e.g., hunting 

regulations), although important, are 

beyond the authority or control of the 

National Forest System and will not be 

considered. No decision regarding oil 

and gas leasing availability will be 

made, though standards will be brought 

forward or developed that would serve 

as mitigation should an availability 

decision be necessary in the future. 

Purpose and Need and Preliminary 

Need for Change 

According to the National Forest 

Management Act (NFMA), LMPs are to 

be revised on a 10- to 15-year cycle. The 

purpose and need for revising the 

current LMP is (1) the LMP is over 35 

years old, (2) since the LMP was 

approved in 1986, there have been 

changes in economic, social, and 

ecological conditions, new policies and 

priorities, and new information based 

on monitoring and scientific research, 

and (3) to address the identified need 

for change to the existing LMP 

(summarized below). Extensive public 

and employee involvement and sciencebased evaluations have helped to 

identify the need for change to the 

existing LMP. 

The complete description of the 

preliminary need for change is available 

for review on the plan revision website 

at: www.fs.usda.gov/main/mantilasal/ 

landmanagement/planning. The needs 

for change have been organized into 

four topics: 

1. Legal and Regulatory Environment 

There is a need to change the current 

LMP to bring it into compliance with 

the law, regulation, and policy. 

Examples include the need to revise the 

plan every 15 years (NFMA 16 U.S.C. 

1604(i)); there is a need to identify lands 

not suitable for timber production 

(NFMA 16 U.S.C. 1604(k)); there is a 

need to inform the LMP with the best 

available scientific information (2012 

Planning Rule at 219.3). 

2. Resource Management Themes 

There is a need to change the current 

LMP to address numerous resource 

management themes identified by 

monitoring; by trends described in the 

assessment; and by public, cooperating 

agency, and tribal comments. Seven 

themes were identified: (1) Recreation 

Management; (2) Access and 

Transportation Infrastructure; (3) 

Watershed Health; (4) Forest Vegetation 

Management; (5) Rangeland Health; (6) 

Terrestrial and Aquatic Species 

Habitats; and (7) Energy and Minerals 

Management. 

3. Social and Environmental Conditions 

There is a need to change the current 

LMP to address social and 

environmental conditions that have the 

potential to affect the National Forest. 

These items may not be under the 

agency’s direct control but may 

influence our ability to effectively carry 

out our mission. Six conditions have 

been identified: (1) Areas of Tribal 

Importance: Maintain Tribal 

partnerships to protect traditional 

properties and uses; (2) Climate: 

Monitor effect of changing conditions 

on critical resources; (3) Cultural and 

Historic Resources: Avoid destabilizing 

and destroying sites by surveying and 

monitoring; (4) Invasive Species: 

Mitigate establishment and spread 

through treatment and monitoring; (5) 

Wildfire: Protect human health and 

safety while managing natural fire; and 

(6) Wildlife: Provide conditions to 

maintain populations while managing 

for multiple uses. 

4. Topics the New LMP Will Not Cover 

A revised LMP does not commit the 

Manti-La Sal National Forest to any sitespecific action, does not it change 

boundaries set by legislation or 

rulemaking, and does not affect valid 

existing rights. 

The preliminary need to change 

information has led to development of 

the ‘‘Proposal to Revise the Land 

Management Plan.’’ Public review and 

comments on these documents will help 

the Manti-La Sal National Forest’s 

responsible official and planning team 

refine the need to change the LMP and 

develop a proposed revised LMP that 

will be analyzed in a draft EIS. 

Proposed Action 

The proposed action is to revise the 

current LMP to address the aboveidentified needs for change to the 

existing LMP. Alternatives to the 

proposed action will be developed to 

address the significant issues that will 

be identified through scoping. In 

response to the above needs for change, 

a preliminary draft LMP has been 

developed. This more fully developed 

description of the proposed action is 

available for review at: 

www.fs.usda.gov/main/mantilasal/ 

landmanagement/planning. 

Lead and Cooperating Agencies 

The Manti-La Sal National Forest is 

the lead agency for the environmental 

analysis process during the revision of 

the LMP. The following entities have 

been formally identified as cooperating 

agencies: Carbon, Grand, Juab, San Juan, 

Sanpete, Sevier, and Utah counties in 

Utah; Montrose County in Colorado; the 

State of Utah Public Lands Policy 

Coordination Office; Juab, Price River, 

San Juan, Sanpete, San Rafael, and 

Sevier Conservation Districts; Town of 

Castle Valley; cities of Monticello and 

Blanding; and the National Park Service. 

No formal agreements exist with Native 

American Tribes, but they are treated 

like cooperators because of their 

sovereign status. 

Responsible Official 

Ryan Nehl, Forest Supervisor, MantiLa Sal National Forest 

Scoping Comments and the Objection 

Process 

This notice of intent initiates the 

scoping process which guides the 

development of the EIS. Written 

comments received in response to this 

notice will be analyzed to complete the 

identification of the need for change to 

the existing LMP, further develop the 

proposed action (preliminary draft LMP) 

and identify potential significant issues. 

Significant issues will, in turn, form the 

basis for developing alternatives to the 

proposed action. 

Reviewers should provide comments 

at such times and in such a manner that 

they are useful to the agency’s 

preparation of the environmental impact 

statement. Therefore, comments are best 

provided prior to the close of the 

comment period and should clearly 

articulate the reviewer’s concerns and 

contentions. Comments received in 

response to this notice, including the 

names and addresses of persons and 

organizations who comment, will be 

part of the public record. Comments 

submitted anonymously will be 

accepted and considered, however, they 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 162 / Wednesday, August 25, 2021 / Notices 47471 

will not be used to establish standing for 

the objection process. Additionally, 

anonymous comments will not provide 

the Manti-La Sal National Forest with 

the ability to provide the respondent 

with subsequent environmental 

documents. 

For information on when public 

meetings will be scheduled for refining 

the proposed action and identifying 

possible alternatives to the proposed 

action, refer to the website: 

www.fs.usda.gov/main/mantilasal/ 

landmanagement/planning. 

The decision to approve the revised 

LMP for the Manti-La Sal National 

Forest will be subject to the objection 

process identified in 36 CFR 219 

subpart B (219.50 to 219.62). According 

to 36 CFR 219.53(a), parties eligible to 

file an objection are individuals and 

entities who have submitted substantive 

formal comments related to plan 

revision during the opportunities 

provided for public comment during the 

planning process. The burden is on the 

objector to demonstrate compliance 

with requirements for objections (36 

CFR 219.53).
