AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA

ACTION: Cancellation of Notice of Intent.

SUMMARY: This notice cancels the Notice

of Intent to analyze the Lakes Forest

Recovery Project on the Lassen National

Forest, published in the Federal

Register on December 13, 2000 (Volume

65, Number 240, 77848–77849). The

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A Notice

of Intent to prepare an environmental

impact statement for the Lakes Forest

Recovery Project was published in the

Federal Register on December 13, 2000

(Volume 65, Number 240, 77848–

77849). The Lakes Forest Recovery

Project was designed to reduce wildland

fire hazard, promote forest health and

provide economic benefits as described

within the Herger-Feinstein Quincy

Library Group Forest Recovery Act of

October 21, 1998. From the date of that

filing, the Lassen National Forest’s Land

and Resource Management Plan has

been amended by the signing of the

Record of Decision (January 12, 2001) by

the Regional Forester for the Sierra

Nevada Forest Plan Amendment

(SNFPA) Final Environmental Impact

Statement. The Record of Decision made

changes to the way Herger-Feinstein

Quincy Library Group projects are

implemented.

Amongst changes to the Lassen

National Forest’s Land and Resource

Management Plan, the Record of

Decision for the SNFPA called for an

administrative study to examine the

relationship between managementcaused changes in vegetation and their

effects on California spotted owl habitat

and spotted owl population dynamics.

One of the proposed administrative

study areas, known as Treatment Unit1, includes a large portion of the Lakes

Forest Recovery Project area. Based on

the changes to the Land and Resource

Management Plan, the planning effort

on the Lakes Forest Recovery Project

was stopped, and a new planning effort

has begun on the Treatment Unit-1

Project.
