Forest, Baker, Union, and Wallowa Counties, OR

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On December 19, 1994, Bruce L. McMillan signed a Decision 
Notice acting for Wallowa-Whitman Forest Supervisor, R.M. Richmond, 
which adopted into the Forest Plan the Minam River Wild and Scenic 
River Management Plan which required an amendment to the Wallowa-
Whitman Forest Plan.
    This management plan outlines use levels, development levels, 
resource protection measures, and outlines a general management 
direction for the river corridor. This amendment is necessary to 
implement the Wild and [[Page 436]] Scenic Rivers Act which required 
the Forest Service to develop a management plan for the Minam River. 
Interim direction was identified in the Forest Plan as Management Area 
7 (Wild and Scenic Rivers). The environmental assessment documents the 
analysis of alternatives to managing the Minam River Wild and Scenic 
River in accordance with the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act.
    This decision is subject to appeal pursuant to Forest Service 
regulations 36 CFR part 217. Appeals must be filed within 45 days from 
the date of publication in the Baker City Herald. Notices of Appeals 
must meet the requirement of 36 CFR 217.9.
    The environmental assessment for the Eagle Cap Wilderness-Minam 
River Wild and Scenic River Management Plan is available for the public 
review at the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest Supervisor's Office in 
Baker City, Oregon.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Implementation of this decision shall not occur within 
30 days following publication of the legal notice of the decision in 
the Baker City Herald.
