Little Belt-Castle-Crazy Mountains 

Travel Management Plan EIS, Lewis 

and Clark National Forest; Cascade, 

Judith Basin, Meagher, Wheatland, 

Sweetgrass, and Park Counties, MT 

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an 

environmental impact statement. 

SUMMARY: The Forest Service will 

prepare an environmental impact 

statement on a proposal to develop a 

travel management plan to regulate 

motorized and non-motorized travel on 

roads and trails on lands administered 

by the Belt Creek, Judith Musselshell, 

and White Sulphur Ranger Districts of 

the Lewis and Clark National Forest. 

Approximately 924,800 acres of 

National Forest System lands are 

contained within the analysis area. The 

purpose of the project is to evaluate the 

impacts of motorized and nonmotorized travel within the planning 

area, and to identify and select an 

alternative that allows recreational use 

and enjoyment of the National Forest 

System lands, minimizes resource 

damage, reduces adverse effects to 

terrestrial and aquatic species, and 

mitigates or reduces conflicts between 

types of uses. Needs for securing 

additional legal public access routes to 

reach National Forest System lands may 

be identified and discussed, but no 

decision will be made on acquiring 

specific routes. 

DATES: Comments concerning the scope 

of the analysis should be received on or 

before October 24, 2005 (approx. 30 

days after publication in the Federal 

Register). 

ADDRESSES: Send written comments to 

Lesley W. Thompson, Forest Supervisor, 

Lewis and Clark National Forest, 1101 

15th Street North, Box 869, Great Falls, 

MT 59401. People sending comments 

electronically can do so by putting 

‘‘Little Belt-Castle-Crazy Mountains 

Travel Plan’’ on the subject line of their 

e-mail to comments-northernlewisclark@fs.fed.us. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dick 

Schwecke, EIS Team Leader (406) 791– 

7700. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

project addresses travel management 

planning on three of the seven mountain 

ranges managed partly or entirely by the 

Lewis and Clark National Forest. The 

Little Belt-Castle-Crazy Mountain 

project includes approximately 924,800 

acres, which is about 50% of the land 

area managed by the Lewis and Clark 

National Forest. The purpose of this 

project is to evaluate the impacts of 

motorized and non-motorized travel on 

existing roads and trails within the 

planning area. The Forest Service 

intends to identify action alternatives 

that provide for public access, use, and 

enjoyment of the Lewis and Clark 

National Forest, while also minimizing 

resource damage, reducing adverse 

effects to terrestrial and aquatic species, 

and mitigating or reducing conflicts 

between types of uses. The project is 

intended to focus on identifying the 

types of use and season of use that 

would be appropriate on roads, trails, 

and specific areas within the mountain 

ranges to be analyzed. 

Public Involvement 

The Forest Service will be seeking 

information, comments and assistance 

from Federal, State and local agencies 

and other individuals or organizations 

who may be interested in, or affected by, 

the proposed action. Comments 

received will be included in the 

documentation for the EIS. The public 

is encouraged to take part in the process 

and is encouraged to visit with Forest 

Service officials at any time during the 

analysis and prior to the decision. While 

public participation in this analysis is 

welcome at any time, comments 

received within 30 days of the 

publication of this notice will be 

especially useful in the preparation of 

the Draft EIS. The scoping process will 

include identifying: potential issues, 

significant issues to be analyzed in 

depth, alternatives to the proposed 

action, and potential environmental 

effects of the proposal and alternatives. 

Estimated Dates for Filing 

The Draft EIS for the Little Belt— 

Castle—Crazy Mountains Travel 

Management Plan is expected to be 

available for public review by June 

2006. The comment period on the draft 

EIS will be 60 days. It is very important 

that those interested in the management 

of this area participate at that time. The 

final EIS is scheduled to be completed 

by December 2006. In the final EIS, the 

Forest Service is required to respond to 

comments received during the comment 

period that pertain to the environmental 

consequences discussed in the draft EIS 

and applicable laws, regulations, and 

policies considered in making a 

decision regarding the proposal. 

The Reviewers Obligation to Comment 

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 

statements 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, 533 (1978). Also, 

environmental objections that could be 

raised at 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. 

(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 60-day comment period on the 

Draft EIS 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 statements. 

To assist the Forest Service in 

identifying and considering issues and 

concerns on the proposed action, 

comments on the draft environmental 

impact statements should be as specific 

as possible. It is also helpful if 

comments refer to specific pages or 

chapters of the draft statements. 

Comments may also address the 

adequacy of the draft environmental 

impact statements or their merits of the 

55816 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 184 / Friday, September 23, 2005 / Notices 

alternatives formulated and discussed in 

the statements. 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. 

Comments on the draft EIS should be 

directed to the responsible official:
