Grande National Forest
AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.
ACTION: Notice of proposed Colorado Roadless Area boundary
modifications; request for comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Forest Service proposes to modify the Wightman Fork to
Lookout Roadless Area boundary on the Rio Grande National Forest to
include parcels of non-federal land and remove federal land for the
Summitville Interchange land exchange. The Chief of the Forest Service
proposes to modify this boundary after a 90-day public comment period.
DATES: Comments must be received in writing by February 28, 2018.
ADDRESSES: Written comments concerning this notice should be addressed
to Tom Malecek, Rio Grande National Forest, 1803 West Highway 160,
Monte Vista, CO 81144. Comments may also be sent via email to [email protected] or via facsimile to (719) 852-6250.

may call the Federal Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1-800-877-8339

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Colorado Roadless Rule permits the Chief
of the Forest Service to modify Colorado Roadless Area boundaries after
a 90-day public comment period. Pursuant to 36 CFR 294.47(a), the
Forest Service proposes to modify the Wightman Fork to Lookout Roadless
Area boundary, located in the Rio Grande National Forest, to allow for
the inclusion of 10 acres of non-federal land to be acquired by the
Forest Service and remove 16 acres of federal land to be conveyed to
non-federal parties for this land exchange. With the boundary
modifications, the exchange would result in a net decrease to Colorado
Roadless Areas of approximately six acres.
Responsible Official
The Forest Service is analyzing the impacts of the land exchange
and roadless area boundary modifications. The Chief of the Forest
Service is the responsible official for the boundary modification under
the Colorado Roadless Rule. The Forest Supervisor, Rio Grande National
Forest, is the responsible official for the land exchange. The Forest
Service will consider public comments on the proposed boundary
modifications in coordination with the proposed land exchange.
Dated: November 20, 2017.
Tony Tooke,
Chief.
