SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As directed by the National Forest
Management Act, the USDA Forest Service is preparing the Nez Perce-
Clearwater National Forests' revised land management plan (forest
plan), which requires preparation of an environmental impact statement
(EIS). The revised forest plan will supersede the existing forest plans
that were approved by the Regional Forester in 1987. The existing
forest plan will remain in effect until the revised forest plan takes
effect. The Forest Service is asking for comments on the proposed
action and the list of potential species of conservation concern.
The Forest Service has extended the comment period for an
additional 60 days, and is now asking the public to send their comments
in by Nov. 14, 2014 for them to be the most useful in development of
alternatives. The full text of the proposed action, large-scale color
maps, information on public meetings, and the list of potential species
of conservation concern can be found on the Forest's Web site at http://www.fs.usda.gov/nezperceclearwater; follow the links for Forest Plan
Revision. Hard copies of the proposed action are available by
contacting 208-935-2513 or via email at [email protected].
Information gathered during this scoping period, as well as other
information, will be used to prepare the draft plan and the draft EIS.
Dated: September 3, 2014.
