AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an 

environmental impact statement; 

Correction. 

SUMMARY: On October 10, 2007, the 

Federal Register published a Notice of 

Intent (NOI) to prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

for the Motorized Travel Management 

Plan on the Apache-Sitgreaves National 

Forests (72 FR 57514–57517). On 

October 31, 2007, the Federal Register 

published a corrected NOI for that 

document (72 FR 61607). The ApacheSitgreaves National Forests then 

conducted five public meetings in 

November 2007, to present the proposed 

action. After careful and deliberate 

consideration of public input received 

during those meetings, the Forests 

Supervisor decided to modify the 

proposed action. As a result, the Forest 

Service is hereby entirely revising both 

NOI documents, Federal Register of 

October 10, 2007 (72 FR 57514–57517) 

and Federal Register of October 31, 

2007 (72 FR 61607), to read as follows. 

Revision: The Forest Service proposes 

to designate which routes (roads and 

trails) and areas on federal lands 

administered by the Forest Service 

within the Apache-Sitgreaves National 

Forests (Forests) are open to motorized 

travel. In doing so, the agency will 

comply with the requirements of the 

Forest Service 2005 Travel Management 

Rule. The Forest Service will produce a 

Motorized Vehicle Use Map (MVUM) 

that reveals those routes and areas on 

the Forests that are open to motorized 

travel. The MVUM will be the primary 

tool used to determine compliance and 

enforcement with motor vehicle use 

designations on the ground. Existing 

routes, user-created routes and areas not 

designated as open on the MVUM will 

be legally closed to motorized travel 

except as allowed by permit or other 

authorization. Cross-country motorized 

travel will be prohibited except by 

special permit. The decisions on 

motorized travel do not include oversnow travel or existing winter-use 

recreation and will not change the 

management of or restrict nonmotorized methods of travel on the 

Forests. 

DATES: Submit written or electronic 

issues and concerns related to the 

proposed action by March 14, 2008. The 

draft environmental impact statement is 

expected to be released in January 2009 

and the final environmental impact 

statement is expected in April 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Purpose and Need for Action 

The purpose of this action is to 

improve management of motorized (36 

CFR 212.1, Motor Vehicle) vehicle travel 

on National Forest System (NFS) lands 

within the Apache-Sitgreaves National 

Forests (Forests) in accordance with 

provisions identified in 36 CFR parts 

212, 251, 261, and 295 Travel 

Management; Designated Routes and 

Areas for Motor Vehicle Use; Final Rule. 

Currently, wheeled motorized vehicle 

travel by the public is not prohibited off 

designated routes except by signed 

Forests Orders. The number of user 

created routes continues to grow each 

year, with many routes having 

environmental impacts and safety 

concerns that have not been addressed. 

Therefore, there is a need to manage the 

Forests’ transportation system in a 

sustainable manner through designation 

of NFS roads, motorized NFS trails, and 

areas for motor vehicle use, and the 

prohibition of motorized cross-country 

travel (except by permit or special 

order). 

Proposed Action 

The proposed action is to designate 

roads, trails, and areas open to 

motorized travel on lands administered 

by the Apache-Sitgreaves National 

Forests (Forests). Where it is appropriate 

and necessary, the designations will 

also specify seasons of use, type of 

vehicle(s) permitted, and types of use 

for those roads, trails, and areas. In 

doing so, the Forests will comply with 

requirements of the Forest Service 2005 

Travel Management Rule (36 CFR part 

212). As a result of these travel 

management decisions, the Forests will 

produce a Motorized Vehicle Use Map 

(MVUM) depicting those routes and 

areas on the Apache-Sitgreaves National 

Forests that are open to motorized 

travel. 

In order to implement the proposed 

action, it will be necessary to amend 

some existing direction and terminology 

in the 1987 Apache-Sitgreaves National 

Forests Land and Resource Management 

Plan, as amended. These changes to the 

Forests Plan direction would be 

enduring changes and would apply to 

this decision and all subsequent project 

decisions unless and until further 

modified. 

The Forests’ public transportation 

system open to motorized travel under 

this proposal would be approximately 

2,961 miles. Currently used closed roads 

(roads identified as closed in the 

Forests’ database) and user created 

roads not identified as open under this 

proposal would no longer be open to 

public motorized use. Specifically, this 

proposed public motorized 

transportation system would allow for a 

balance between various recreational 

and commercial uses of the Forests. It 

would provide for various forms of 

reasonable motorized use on a 

designated system of routes in a 

responsible manner that addresses 

multiple resource concerns. 

The proposed public motorized 

transportation system is depicted in 

detail on five maps, one for each Ranger 

District, collectively referred to as the 

Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests 

Public Motorized Travel Management 

Plan Modified Proposed Action Map, is 

located on the Forests’ Web Site: http://

Other existing routes not shown on 

this map would not be open to public 

motorized travel. New routes would not 

be created except by written decision of 

an authorized Forest Service official. 

Unauthorized new routes would not be 

approved for public travel. If this 

proposal is selected for implementation, 

the information on this map would 

become the Motor Vehicle Use Map 

(MVUM) required by regulation and 

agency policy. 

Under this proposal most of the 

proposed public motorized 

transportation system routes would 

occur on existing National Forest 

System (NFS) routes currently open to 

the public for motorized travel. This 

proposal also includes designation of 

some currently unauthorized usercreated routes to connect existing NFS 

routes. 

Approximately 1,956 miles of NFS 

roads would be designated for mixeduse as ‘‘roads open to all vehicles.’’ NFS 

roads not considered for mixed-use 

would be designated as ‘‘roads open to 

highway legal vehicles only’’ (695 

miles), or ‘‘routes open only to vehicles 

50′′ or less in width’’ (310 miles). 

This proposal would allow crosscountry motorized big game retrieval 

(MBGR), up to 1 mile from a designated 

route, of legally harvested and properly 

tagged elk and mule deer during certain 

seasons, in certain Game Management 

Units, during certain times of the day. 

The intent of this segment of the 

proposal is to reduce spoilage and waste 

by providing reasonable access to 

downed animals that are difficult to 

move long distances without motorized 

assistance. This proposal would also 

allow Arizona Challenged Hunter 

Access/Mobility Permit (CHAMP) 

holders the ability for cross-country 

motorized game retrieval, up to 1 mile 

from a designated route, of legally 

harvested and properly tagged elk, mule 

deer, and black bear. Cross-country 

MBGR will be subject to other existing 

regulations intended to protect natural 

and/or heritage resources. This includes 

compliance with regulations addressing 

use of vehicles off roads (36 CFR 

261.15), National Forest Wilderness (36 

CFR 261.18), and National Forest 

Primitive Areas (36 CFR 261.21), as well 

as other applicable laws and 

regulations. No MBGR will be allowed 

in Wilderness or Primitive areas. 

Motorized cross-country retrieval of 

other game animals would not be 

allowed under this proposal because 

these animals are small enough to 

retrieve without motorized assistance. 

This proposal is consistent with 36 CFR 

212.51(8)(b) and the recommendation 

from Arizona Game and Fish 

Department. 

Roadside parking within vehicle 

length from the shoulder of designated 

routes is proposed, unless otherwise 

posted on-the-ground and provided it is 

safe to do so and without causing 

damage to NFS resources or facilities. 

this would allow the public to access 

many traditionally used dispersed 

campsites adjacent to NFS roads or 

within a short walking distance of those 

roads. 

This proposal would allow dispersed 

motorized camping in designated 

dispersed campsites. Currently, the 

Forests have identified approximately 

1,612 historically used dispersed camp 

sites. The Forests recognize that not all 

historically used day-use or dispersed 

camp sites have been identified and will 

continue to collaborate with the public 

to identify more sites. Motor vehicles 

would be allowed to travel the currently 

established route to designated areas for 

day-use parking or dispersed camping. 

This would allow for reasonable 

recreational use of NFS lands while 

reducing the potential for resource 

damage. Designated dispersed campsites 

would not be displayed on the MVUM. 

This proposal would allow dispersed 

motorized camping off designated 

routes, in certain areas, under certain 

conditions. Motorized dispersed 

camping would be allowed along 

designated corridor routes. Designated 

routes with designated corridor camping 

would be displayed on the proposed 

action maps and would be displayed on 

the MVUM. Motorized vehicles would 

be permitted to travel 300 feet or less 

from either side of the centerline of 

designated corridor routes, using the 

most direct route to and from the 

campsite and the adjacent designated 

route. Cross-country motorized travel 

within the designated corridors would 

not be allowed for purposes of searching 

for or locating a campsite or other 

general travel. Currently, the Forests 

have identified approximately 938 miles 

of designated corridors on the Black 

Mesa (702 miles), Lakeside (1 mile), 

Springerville (78 miles), and Clifton 

(157 miles) Ranger Districts. The Alpine 

Ranger District proposes to meet the 

intent of the TMR and the needs of the 

recreating public by utilizing other 

strategies such as roadside parking and 

designated dispersed day-use and camp 

sites. 

This proposal would allow crosscountry motorized travel in eight 

designated Areas on the Black Mesa (6 

areas) and Lakeside (2 areas) Ranger 

Districts that total approximately 5,989 

acres. The intent is to provide expanded 

motorized travel opportunities in areas 

with multiple campsites, but without a 

defined transportation system. 

Designated cross-country travel Areas 

would be displayed on the MVUM and 

clearly marked on the ground. 

Possible Alternatives 

The initial proposed action presented 

to the public during November, 2007, 

may be included and analyzed in the 

EIS. In addition, the EIS will fully 

describe and evaluate the no action 

alternative and a full range of 

alternatives identified during scoping. 

Responsible Official 

The Responsible Official is the Forests 

Supervisor, Apache-Sitgreaves National 

Forests, P.O. Box 640, Springerville, AZ 

85938. 

Nature of Decision To Be Made 

Based on the purpose and need for the 

proposed action, The Forests Supervisor 

will evaluate the proposed action and 

other alternatives in order to decide 

whether to adopt and implement the 

proposed action, an alternative to the 

proposed action, or take no action to 

make changes to the existing ApacheSitgreaves National Forests 

transportation system. Once the 

decision is made, the Apache-Sitgreaves 

National Forests will publish a Motor 

Vehicle Use Map (MVUM) identifying 

the roads, trails, and areas that are 

designed for motor vehicle use. The 

MVUM shall specify the classes of 

vehicles and, if appropriate, the times of 

year for which use is designated. 

Federal land managers are directed 

(Executive Order 11644, 36 CFR 212, 

and 43 CFR 8342.1) to provide for 

public use of routes designated as open, 

to ensure that the use of motorized 

vehicles and off-road vehicles will be 

controlled and directed so as to protect 

the resources of those lands under their 

authority, to promote the safety of users, 

and to minimize conflicts among 

various users of federal lands.

Public Involvement 

The Apache-Sitgreaves National 

Forests hosted and participated in 

approximately 26 public meetings and 

workshops, relating to travel 

management and the Travel Analysis 

Process (TAP), during 2005 to 2007, 

across the Forests and local 

communities. Local citizens, State, 

county, local, and tribal governments 

and other Federal Agencies were invited 

to collaborate with the Forests on routes 

they wanted to remain open and/or 

closed or those routes that may be in 

conflict with other desired conditions. 

This preliminary, pre-NEPA public 

input was invaluable in helping the 

Forests develop the initial proposed 

action. 

The Forests then hosted five public 

meetings to present to the public the 

initial proposed action; which was 

developed considering access to private 

lands within NFS lands boundaries, 

current and predicted future funding, 

and access to the Forests for public 

motorized and non-motorized 

recreation. After careful and deliberate 

consideration of public input received 

during those meetings, the Forests 

Supervisor decided to modify the initial 

proposed action. 

Scoping Process 

Public participation will be especially 

important at several points during the 

analysis. The Forests will be seeking 

information, comments, and assistance 

from Federal, State, and other local 

agencies and other individuals or 

organizations that may be interested in 

or affected by the modified proposed 

action. The Forests will conduct openhouse meetings to inform the public and 

interested parties on this modified 

proposal. Comments on this proposed 

action will be taken only in written 

format during the meetings. The 

meetings are scheduled at the following 

locations, dates and times: 

Show Low, AZ—March 6, 2008 

(Thursday), from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. and 

March 8, 2008 (Saturday), from 9 a.m. 

to 1 p.m., Show Low Public Library, 

180 N. 9th Street. 

Springerville, AZ—March 6, 2008 

(Thursday), from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. and 

March 8, 2008 (Saturday), from 9 a.m. 

to 1 p.m., Forest Service Supervisor’s 

Office Conference Room, 30 South 

Chiricahua Drive.

from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Bottom Floor 

Assembly Room, Graham County 

General Services Building, 921 

Thatcher Blvd. 

Heber, AZ—March 6, 2008 (Thursday), 

from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. and March 8, 

2008 (Saturday), from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., 

Mogollon High School gymnasium, 

3450 Mustang Ave.

from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. and March 8, 

2008 (Saturday), from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., 

Alpine Community Center, 42627 

U.S. Highway 180. 

Based on comments received as a 

result of this notice and after the Forests 

have conducted public open-house 

meetings and afforded the public 

sufficient time to respond to the 

modified proposed action, the Forests 

will use the public scoping comments 

and resource related input from the 

interdisciplinary team and other agency 

resource specialists to develop a set of 

significant issues to carry forward into 

the environmental analysis process. 

The draft environmental impact 

statement (EIS) is expected to be filed 

with the Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) and available for public 

review in January, 2009. EPA will 

publish a notice of availability of the 

draft EIS in the Federal Register. The 

comment period on the draft EIS will 

extend 45 days from the date the EPA 

notice appears in the Federal Register. 

At that time, the draft EIS will be posted 

on the Forests Web Site and copies will 

be distributed to interested and affected 

agencies, organizations, and members of 

the public for their review and 

comment. It is very important that those 

interested in the management of the 

Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests 

participate at that time. Those who 

provide comments during the official 

45-day comment period are eligible to 

appeal the decision under 36 CFR part 

215. Interest expressed or comments 

provided on this project prior to or after 

the close of the official comment period 

will not constitute standing for appeal 

purposes. Comments must meet the 

requirements of 36 CFR 215.6. 

The final EIS is scheduled to be 

completed in April, 2009. In the final 

EIS, the Forests are required to respond 

to substantive comments received 

during the draft EIS comment period 

that pertain to the environmental 

consequences discussed in the draft EIS 

and applicable laws, regulations, and 

policies considered in making the 

decision. 

Preliminary Issues 

The Forests have received some 

indications of potential issues from the 

initial public involvement process. 

Those potential issues include: 

(1) Resource damage caused by 

inappropriate types of vehicle use, (e.g. 

motorized vehicles in fragile or steep 

terrain); proliferation of routes (e.g. 

parallel trails or roads, continued traffic 

on closed roads and travel off 

designated routes); and continued use 

during seasonal restrictions (e.g. routes 

closed to protect resources during wet 

or muddy seasons). 

(2) Disturbing or harming wildlife by 

using routes in important or critical 

wildlife habitat areas, too many roads in 

wildlife habitat areas, and disturbances 

to wildlife during critical lifecycle 

periods. 

(3) Concerns about recreational 

opportunities, including loss of access 

to NFS lands for recreational 

opportunities if cross-country and 

existing routes are closed to motorized 

travel; loss of primitive or semiprimitive non-motorized recreation 

opportunities if more routes or areas are 

opened to motorized travel; and how to 

appropriately and reasonably 

accommodate the rapidly growing 

number of motorized users desiring to 

use federal lands for recreational riding 

of OHVs. 

(4) Concerns on how the system might 

be designed to facilitate effective 

enforcement. 

(5) Safety concerns on routes where 

multiple vehicle types (e.g. full-sized 

trucks and cars, ATVs, motorcycles) are 

allowed at the same time. 

(6) Impacts to multiple use 

management of the Forests if routes are 

reduced. 

(7) Economic impacts to local and 

surrounding communities. 

The Forests recognize that this list of 

issues is not complete and will be 

further defined and refined as scoping 

continues. The Forests intend to 

develop a comprehensive list of 

significant issues before the full range of 

alternatives is developed and the 

environmental analysis is begun. 

Comment Requested 

This revised notice of intent 

continues the scoping process which 

guides the development of the 

environmental impact statement for the 

Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests 

Public Wheeled Motorized Travel 

Management Plan. 

Early Notice of Importance of Public 

Participation in Subsequent 

Environmental Review: A draft 

environmental impact statement will be 

prepared for comment. The comment 

period on the draft environmental 

impact statement will be 45 days from 

the date the Environmental Protection 

Agency publishes the notice of 

availability in the Federal Register.

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 41 / Friday, February 29, 2008 / Notices 11091 

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 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 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 

draft EIS comment period so that 

substantive comments and objections 

are made available to the Forests at a 

time when it can meaningfully consider 

them and respond to them in the final 

environmental impact statement. 

To assist the Forests 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 

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 in addressing these points. 

Comments received, including the 

names and addresses of those who 

comment, will be considered part of the 

public record on this proposal and will 

be available for public inspection.
