collection. 

Abstract: Recent changes in the 

telecommunications industry, including 

deregulation and technological 

developments, have caused RUS 

borrowers and other organizations 

providing telecommunications services 

in rural areas to consider undertaking 

projects that provide new 

telecommunications services and other 

telecommunications services not 

ordinarily financed by RUS. To facilitate 

the financing of those projects and 

services, this program helps to facilitate 

funding from non-RUS sources in order 

to meet the growing capital needs of 

rural Local Exchange Carriers (LECs). 

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average 1 hour per 

response. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit and non-profit institutions.

Forest Service 

Helena National Forest; Montana; 

Blackfoot Travel Plan EIS 

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent to prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement. 

SUMMARY: The Helena National Forest is 

preparing an Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS) to analyze the effects of 

proposed changes to the existing 

motorized public access routes and 

prohibitions within the Blackfoot travel 

planning area. Consistent with the 

Forest Service travel planning 

regulations, the resulting available 

public motorized access routes and 

areas would be designated on a Motor 

Vehicle Use Map (MVUM). Upon 

publishing the MVUM, public use of a 

motor vehicle other than in accordance 

with those designations would be 

prohibited. 

DATES: Comments concerning the scope 

of the analysis must be received by 

November 29, 2010. The draft 

environmental impact statement is 

expected July 2011 and the final 

environmental impact statement is 

expected January 2012. 

ADDRESSES: Send written comments to 

the Helena National Forest Lincoln 

Ranger District, 1569 Hwy 200, Lincoln, 

MT 59639. Comments may also be sent 

via e-mail to comments-northernhelena-lincoln@fs.fed.us, or via 

facsimile to 406–362–4253. Please 

indicate the name ‘‘Blackfoot Travel 

Plan’’ in the subject line of your e-mail.

Jaclyn Heinert, Interdisciplinary Team 

Leader (406) 362–7000 or e-mail

Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1–

p.m., Eastern Time, Monday through 

Friday. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Purpose and Need for Action 

The overall objective of this proposal 

is to provide a manageable system of 

designated public motorized access 

routes and areas within the Blackfoot 

Travel area, consistent with and to 

achieve the purposes of Forest Service 

travel management regulations at 36 

CFR 212 Subpart B. The existing system 

of available public motor vehicle routes 

and areas in the Blackfoot Travel area is 

the culmination of multiple agency 

decisions over recent decades. Public 

motor vehicle use of the majority of this 

available system continues to be 

manageable and consistent with the 

current travel management regulation. 

Exceptions have been identified, based 

on public input and the criteria listed at 

36 CFR 212.55, and in these cases 

changes are proposed to meet the 

overall objectives. The decisions will 

ensure compliance with the Forest Plan 

and Interagency requirements for grizzly 

bear security and habitat within the 

recovery zone. 

Proposed Action 

The Helena National Forest proposes 

the following changes to the existing 

motorized public access routes and 

prohibitions within the Blackfoot travel 

planning area. Consistent with the travel 

planning regulations at 36 CFR 212 

Subpart B, the resulting available public 

motorized access routes and areas 

would be designated on a Motor Vehicle 

Use Map and the prohibition at 36 CFR 

261.13 would take effect. 36 CFR 261.13 

would prohibit public use of a motor 

vehicle other than in accordance with 

those designations. 

The proposed action would: 

• Change 1.8 miles of currently 

closed yearlong routes or user-created 

routes to open with seasonal 

restrictions. 

• Change 5.1 miles of seasonally 

restricted routes to having a different 

seasonal restriction. 

• Change 6.7 miles of currently 

closed yearlong or user-created routes to 

being open yearlong. 

• Change 9.4 miles of seasonally 

restricted routes to become open 

yearlong. 

• Put 82.1 miles of currently open 

routes into storage (where routes are 

self-maintaining in non-use status for up 

to 20 years by re-contouring access 

points, and removing culverts). 

• Change 2.5 miles of open seasonally 

or open yearlong routes to closed 

yearlong. 

• Close 7.9 miles (estimated) of usercreated routes. 

• Create 41.4 miles of new motorized 

trails from currently seasonally 

restricted, open yearlong, user-created, 

and previously decommissioned routes. 

• Create 1.5 miles of single-track 

motorized trail from currently doubletrack motorized trail. 

• Construct 1.6 miles of new road. 

• Place 65.5 miles of currently closed 

routes into storage. 

• Place 82.1 miles of currently open 

routes into storage. 

• Obliterate 8.1 miles of closed 

yearlong, open yearlong, or user-created 

routes. 

• Create 5.5 miles of non-motorized 

trails from currently closed or usercreated routes. 

• Create 1.5 miles of non-motorized 

trails from currently open or seasonally 

restricted routes. 

• Create 13.7 miles of non-motorized 

trails from currently single or doubletrack motorized routes. 

• Create 33 miles of mountain bike 

trails on Forest Service land (may also 

include non-motorized or motorized 

uses).
