DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 

Forest Service 

Assessment Report of Ecological, 

Social, and Economic Sustainability, 

Conditions, and Trends for the Rio 

Grande National Forest 

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice of initiating the 

assessment phase of the Rio Grande 

National Forest land management plan 

revision. 

SUMMARY: The Rio Grande National 

Forest, located in south central 

Colorado, is initiating the forest 

planning process pursuant to the 2012 

Forest Planning Rule (36 CFR 219). This 

process results in a Forest Land 

Management Plan which describes the 

strategic direction for management of 

forest resources for the next fifteen to 

twenty years on the Rio Grande National 

Forest. The first phase of the process, 

the assessment phase, has begun and 

interested parties will be invited to 

contribute to the development of the 

assessment (36 CFR 219.6). The Forest 

hosted a series of informational 

meetings with key stakeholders and the 

public in the fall of 2014, and will be 

hosting additional meetings between 

January and June 2015. Additional 

information on public participation 

opportunities will be available on the 

project Web site: http://www.fs.usda.

gov/riogrande. The trends and 

conditions identified in the assessment 

will help in identifying the need for 

change, in the development of plan 

components. 

DATES: A draft of the assessment report 

for the Rio Grande National Forest is 

expected to be completed by fall of 2015 

and will be posted on the Rio Grande 

National Forest Web site at http://www.

fs.usda.gov/riogrande. From January 

2015 through June 2015, the public is 

invited to engage in a collaborative 

process to identify relevant information 

and local knowledge to be considered 

for the assessment. The Forest will then 

initiate procedures pursuant to the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) and prepare a forest plan 

revision. The Forest will again be 

inviting the public to help identify the 

appropriate plan components that will 

become the NEPA proposed action and/ 

or alternatives for the land management 

plan revision. The NEPA procedures 

result in a record of decision and the 

plan revision process results in a draft 

revised plan. The Federal Register 

availability announcement for these 

documents starts the pre-decisional 

administrative review process (36 CFR
