The Forest Service will accept comments on the Wildfire Risk Reduction Project from May 2 to June 2. The form below is the best way for you to submit comments and for the Forest Service to receive comments. The official start of the comment period will follow publication of the opportunity to comment legal notice on May 1 in the Santa Barbara Independent, newspaper of record, which is the exclusive means for calculating the comment period. Commenters should not rely upon dates or time frame information provided by any other source. It is the commenter's responsibility to ensure timely receipt of comments (36 CFR 218.25).
This project is subject to comment pursuant to 36 CFR 218, Subparts A and B. Only those who submit timely project-specific written comments during a designated public comment period are eligible to file an objection. Specific written comments should be written within the scope of the proposed actions, have a direct relationship to the proposed actions, and must include supporting reasons for the Responsible Official to consider (36 CFR 218.2). Individuals or representatives of an entity submitting comments must sign the comments or verify identity upon request. Comments received in response to this solicitation, including names and addresses of those who comment, will be part of the public record for this proposed action. Comments submitted anonymously will be accepted and considered; however, anonymous comments will not provide Los Padres National Forest with the ability to provide the respondent with subsequent environmental documents.
The form below can be used to submit your comments to the responsible project official.
National Forests have the option to post comments for public viewing on this web site via a public reading room. Active reading rooms allow the public to read or download your letter, including your contact information. If this project has an active reading room, a link labeled “Public Comment Reading Room” will appear on the main project page. The agency may withhold letters containing proprietary information, sensitive cultural or habitat locations, profanity, etc. All letters, including those not posted, will be considered and included as part of the project record.
Disclaimer: All contact information is optional; however, anonymous comments will not provide standing to object.
