# ACTION:

Notice of availability of an environmental assessment.

# SUMMARY:

An environmental assessment of the proposed relocation of approximately three miles of the Luna Lake Trail in the Mt. Zirkel Wilderness that was heavily impacted by the Routt Divide Blowdown event in October 1997 is available upon request. The analysis includes a proposed non-significant amendment to the 1997 Revision to Routt National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan to reallocate acres in management area prescriptions in the project area. The amendment is necessary to reflect the change in recreational use patterns and social encounters that would result from trail relocation. This notice is provided pursuant to National Forest System Land and Resource Management Planning regulations (36 CFR 219.35, 65 FR 67579, November 9, 2000).

# DATES:

Public scoping on this proposed project was initiated on August 8, 1999. A pre-decisional Environmental Assessment was issued on August 2, 2000. The official public comment period ended on September 11, 2000.
