SUMMARY: The Notice of Intent to prepare an EIS (Environmental Impact 
Statement) for a proposal to harvest timber in a portion of the Bronco 
Beauty Resource Area, published in the Federal Register on June 17, 
1993 (58 FR 33431) is hereby rescinded. The area is located 
approximately 8 miles southeast of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, and is 
approximately 8,000 acres in size. Preparation of an Environmental 
Assessment was initiated in February, 1992, to examine potential timber 
harvest in this area. The level of concern expressed by the public 
indicated a high sensitivity level concerning water and wildlife 
resources, existing road density, and recreation opportunities.
    Based on public concerns and field verification, the proposal to 
examine timber harvest in the Bronco Beauty Resource Area has been 
withdrawn.

DATES: This action is effective May 12, 1994.
