silvicultural practices that can hasten

post-fire recovery for wildlife and

recreation and reduce future fuel

loading, and other management

practices to minimize accelerated

erosion.

DATES: Comments concerning the

proposal and scope of the analysis

should be received in writing by March

7, 2001.

ADDRESSES: All questions and/or

comments should be addressed to:

USDA Forest Service, Townsend Ranger

District, 415 S. Front Street, Box 29,

Townsend, MT 59644.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

David McMorran, Team Leader, or

Rachel Feigley, Assistant Team Leader

at (406) 266–3425.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

analysis will include a no action

alternative which will address the

effects of not harvesting in the burned

area. Other alternatives will consider a

range of options, including varying the

locations, timing and methods of timber

removal. The analysis will consider the

effects of the proposed action and

alternatives within the entire affected

watersheds, but actions will be limited

to the burned areas—no green tree

harvest is proposed.

Anticipated issues and concerns

include, but are not limited to: longterm

watershed stability and recovery; fuel

loading/fuel reduction in the future;

inventoried roadless character and

values; longterm management goals;

opportunities to integrate salvage

operations with restoration activities;

big game security and retention of

remaining hiding cover; snag

management for wildlife; scenery and

recreation management, the potential for

spreading noxious weeds, and

opportunities to benefit local

economies.

The Forest Service is seeking

information and comments from

Federal, state and local agencies as well

as individuals and organizations that

may be interested in the proposal. The

Forest Service invites written comments

and suggestions related to the proposal.

The Forest Service invites written

comments and suggestions related to the

proposal. Information received will be

used in preparation of the Draft

Environmental Impact Statement. The

Draft Environmental Impact Statement

should be available for public review

and comment during April 2001 and the

Final Environmental Impact Statement

and Record of Decision in June 2001.

The official close of the comment period

for the Draft 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, 533 (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. 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

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.

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 on the

National Environmental Policy Act at 40

CFR 1503.3 in addressing these points.
