DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Forest Service

Supplemental Environmental Impact

Statement, Central Prince of Wales

Project, Tongass National Forest,

Ketchikan Area, AK

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare a

supplemental environmental impact

statement.

SUMMARY: The Tongass National

Forest—Ketchikan Area proposes to

review and analyze information on

‘‘falldown’’ and to calculate its effect, if

any, on ‘‘sustainable’’ timber harvest in

the Central Prince of Wales project area

covered in the previous environmental

impact statement and record of decision

issued August 6, 1993. The proposed

action is to provide approximately 290

million board feet of timber in support

of the Ketchikan Pulp Company LongTerm Timber Sale Contract, Contract

Number A10fs–1042.

ADDRESSES: Send written comments to

Forest Supervisor, Tongass NF—

Ketchikan Area, Federal Building,

Ketchikan, AK 99901.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Questions concerning the proposed

analysis and supplemental

environmental impact statement should

be directed to Pete Griffin, Tongass

NF—Ketchikan Area, Federal Building,

Ketchikan, AK 99901, phone: (907) 225–

3101.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

purpose of the project is to provide

approximately 290 million board feet of

timber in support of the Ketchikan Pulp

Company Long-Term Timber Sale

Contract, Contract Number A10fs–1042.

The purpose of the supplement is to

evaluate information available to the

Forest Service with regard to falldown.

The effects of falldown as related to

sustainable harvest levels will also be

analyzed. Factors related to falldown

include economic, biological, and

physical.

Alternatives to be analyzed will

include those alternatives as described

in the CPOW FEIS including the no

action alternative.

The following issues have been

identified:

1. Falldown.

2. Sustainability.

Scoping was completed for the CPOW

project in 1992. Council on

Environmental Quality regulations (40

CFR 1502.9(c)(4)) do not require scoping

for a supplement. Additional public

scoping meetings are not planned.

Public comment during the analysis is

welcome and the public will have an

opportunity to comment on the draft

supplement when issued.

The draft supplemental

environmental impact statement is

expected to be issued in May 1995. The

comment period on the draft

supplemental environmental impact

statement will be 45 days from the date

the Environmental Protection Agency

publishes the notice of availability in

the Federal Register.

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 comment period 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 supplemental 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 statement.
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 65 / Wednesday, April 5, 1995 / Notices 17313

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.

Issuance of the final supplemental

environmental impact statement is

projected in September 1995. The

responsible official for the decision is

the Forest Supervisor, Tongass NF—

Ketchikan Area, Federal Building,

Ketchikan, AK 99901.
