The Forest Service values public participation; comments including anonymous comments will be accepted at any time. However comments posted after the close of a designated comment period may not be able to be given full consideration.
Comments received in response to this solicitation including names and addresses of those who comment will be considered part of the public record for this project and will be available for public inspection. Comments submitted anonymously will be accepted and considered; however anonymous comments will not provide the agency with the ability to provide the respondent with subsequent environmental documents.
This scoping and analysis for this project will assist in determining the need to prepare a Categorical Exclusion or an Environmental Assessment.
As a result of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2014 (Public Law No. 113-76) and the Agricultural Act of 2014 (Farm Bill Public Law No. 102-381) the Forest Service will no longer offer appeal opportunities for categorically excluded projects. However, we will continue to offer public involvement opportunities for these projects and will take public comments into consideration before final decisions are made.
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.
