SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

This compliance guide provides 

information to industry to help it 

maintain compliance with Federal 

regulations, including humane 

treatment of livestock and the use of 

good commercial practices in poultry. 

FSIS is providing this draft guide to 

advise establishments that video or 

other electronic monitoring or recording 

equipment can be used in federally 

inspected establishments. This guide 

informs establishments of the Agency’s 

expectations if they decide to use this 

type of equipment to create records to 

meet the requirements of the Hazard 

Analysis and Critical Control Points 

regulations, or the regulations governing 

Sanitation Standard Operating 

Procedures. In addition, this guide 

provides information on issues 

establishments should consider if they 

use this equipment for any other 

purpose, such as part of their food 

defense plans. 

FSIS is publishing this draft guide 

while pursuing OMB approval of 

information collection under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act related to 

Hazard Analysis and Critical Control 

Point and Sanitation Standard 

Operating Procedures video records. 

FSIS is requesting comments through a 

separate Federal Register document on 

this information collection. Until the 

Agency receives OMB approval for the 

information collection, the draft guide 

should not be viewed as authoritative. 

Once FSIS receives OMB approval, it 

will issue a final guide. At that time, 

FSIS may also make changes to the 

guide based on comments received on 

the draft guide. 

Additional Public Notification 

Public awareness of all segments of 

rulemaking and policy development is 

important. Consequently, in an effort to 

ensure that minorities, women, and 

persons with disabilities are aware of 

this notice, FSIS will announce it online 

through the FSIS Web page located at 

http://www.fsis.usda.gov/regulations_&_

policies/2010_Notices_Index/index.asp. 

FSIS will also make copies of this 

Federal Register publication available 

through the FSIS Constituent Update, 

which is used to provide information 

regarding FSIS policies, procedures, 

regulations, Federal Register notices, 

FSIS public meetings, and other types of

Forest Service 

Kootenai National Forest, Lincoln 

County, Montana; Grizzly Vegetation 

and Transportation Management 

Project 

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA. 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 199 / Friday, October 15, 2010 / Notices 63435 

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare a 

supplemental environmental impact 

statement. 

SUMMARY: The Kootenai National Forest 

will prepare a Supplemental 

Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) 

for the Grizzly Vegetation and 

Transportation Management Project 

(Grizzly Project). The Grizzly Project 

includes vegetation management, fuels 

reduction, watershed rehabilitation 

activities, wildlife habitat improvement, 

and access management changes, 

including road decommissioning. The 

project is located in the Grizzly 

planning subunit on the Three Rivers 

Ranger District, Kootenai National 

Forest, Lincoln County, Montana, and 

northeast of Troy, Montana. The Notice 

of Availability of the Draft EIS for this 

project was published in the Federal 

Register (72 FR 31821) on June 8, 2007, 

and the notice of the Final EIS (74 FR 

24006) on May 22, 2009. The Record of 

Decision was issued concurrently with 

the Final EIS. On June 29, 2010, the 

United States District Court for the 

District of Montana issued a sixty-nine 

page decision granting in part and 

denying in part cross motions for 

summary judgment in this case which 

alleged that the Forest Service’s 

authorization of the Grizzly, Miller, and 

Little Beaver Projects on the Kootenai 

National Forest violated NEPA, NFMA, 

and the ESA. Plaintiffs generally alleged 

that in authorizing these Projects for 

vegetation management, fuels reduction, 

watershed restoration, timber harvest, 

and other purposes, the Forest Service 

failed to adequately evaluate their 

impact on the threatened Cabinet-Yaak 

grizzly bears which inhabit the area. 

Regarding the Grizzly Vegetation and 

Transportation Management Project the 

court found that (1) the agency’s 

conclusion that the Project was 

consistent with the Kootenai Forest Plan 

violated NFMA because there was 

insufficient information in the record to 

determine whether the Projects 

complied with the standard for 

Management Situation 1 lands which 

require the agency to ‘‘favor the needs of 

the grizzly bear when grizzly habitat 

and other land use values compete’’; and 

(2) the agency’s failure to explain why 

it used the bear management unit 

instead of the Forest as the proper level 

for analysis of cumulative effects and its 

failure to disclose and discuss the 

problems with the ‘‘Wakkinen Study’’ 

regarding grizzly habitat standards 

violated NEPA’s ‘‘hard look’’ 

requirement. The Court enjoined all 

three Projects and remanded them to the 

agency to address the defects identified 

in its decision. (09–160, D. Mont.). A 

Supplemental EIS is being prepared for 

the Grizzly Vegetation and 

Transportation Management Project to 

address these disclosures in the grizzly 

bear analysis. 

DATES: Under 40 CFR 1502.9(c)(4), there 

is no formal scoping period for this 

proposed action. The supplemental 

draft environmental impact statement is 

expected to be available for public 

review and comment in late November, 

2010 and the environmental impact 

statement is expected in February, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: The line officer responsible 

for this analysis is Cami Winslow, 

Acting District Ranger, Three Rivers 

Ranger District, 12385 U.S. Hwy 2, Troy, 

MT 59935. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Contact Kathy Mohar, Team Leader, 

Three Rivers Ranger District, at (406) 

295–4693. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Grizzly Project Area is approximately 18 

air miles northeast of Troy, Montana, 

within all or portions of T34N, R32W– 

R33W, T35N, R32W–R33W, and T36N, 

R32W–R33W, Lincoln County, 

Montana. 

The Grizzly Project Supplemental EIS 

will provide additional information and 

disclosures on the grizzly bear analysis 

in support of the Record of Decision 

issued in April 2009. More specifically, 

the Supplemental EIS will provide 

clarification and additional information 

on the following disclosures as 

requested by the District Court of 

Montana: 

1. Why the Bear Management Unit is 

the appropriate scale of analysis for 

cumulative effects. 

2. Further discussion on the 

limitations of Wakkinen and Kasworm 

(1997) utilized as the Best Available 

Science in regard to grizzly bear habitat 

protection in the Cabinet-Yaak 

Ecosystem Grizzly Bear Recovery Zone. 

3. Further explanation on how the 

Grizzly Project was made compatible 

with grizzly bear needs, consistent with 

the Kootenai National Forest 1987 

Forest Plan. 

Record of Decision—Alternative 2a 

The Grizzly Project Record of 

Decision issued in April 2009 

authorized the following: 

Vegetation treatments: Restoration of 

western white pine and western larch 

on 340 acres; restoration of low and 

moderate intensity fire regime 

vegetation characteristics on 548 acres; 

enhancement of aspen habitat on 19 

acres; ecosystem and wildlife burning 

on 468 acres; precommercial thinning 

on 515 acres. These activities will 

contribute an estimated 8.2 million 

board feet of forest products to markets. 

Transportation actions: Placing 15.5 

miles of road in intermittent stored 

service status to improve grizzly bear 

habitat; active decommissioning on 15.4 

miles of unneeded road, and storage 

work on 9.7 miles of road to reduce 

sediment delivery prior to placing in 

grizzly bear core habitat; best 

management practices on 36 miles of 

road; passive decommissioning of 27 

miles of road; designate 65.5 miles of 

currently open roads as open to 

motorized use; designate 39 miles of 

existing trails within grizzly bear habitat 

for non-motorized use. The proposed 

action and alternatives were originally 

described and analyzed in the FEIS, 

located at http://www.fs.fed.us/r1/ 

kootenai/projects/projects/Grizzly/ 

index.shtml. At this time no new 

alternatives are expected. 

Supplemental Environmental Impact 

Statement 

A Draft SEIS is expected to be 

available for public review and 

comment in late November 2010; and a 

Final SEIS in February 2011. The 

comment period for the Draft SEIS 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 45- 

day 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 final 

supplemental environmental impact 

statement.

To assist the Forest Service in 

identifying and considering issues and 

concerns on the proposed action, 

comments on the Draft SEIS should be 

as specific as possible. It is also helpful 

if comments refer to specific pages or 

chapters of the draft 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
