Suitability Studies for 22 Wild and Scenic Rivers, Tahoe National 
Forest, Placer, Yuba, Eldorado, Sierra, and Nevada Counties, CA

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Revised Notice of Intent to Prepare an Environmental Impact 
Statement.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Tahoe National 
Forest and the Department of Interior, Bureau of Land Management, 
Folsom District, is preparing an environmental impact statement (EIS) 
which analyzes the suitability of 22 rivers in, and adjacent to, the 
Tahoe National Forest in California. The Notice of Intent to prepare an 
Environmental Impact Statement was published in the Federal Register on 
Tuesday, April 27, 1993 [58 FR 25601]. The Notice announced that a 
draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) would be available for 
review in February of 1994. The DEIS is now expected to be available in 
November of 1995. Additionally, the scope of the EIS has been expanded 
to include a Forest Land and Resource Management Plan amendment. The 
amendment would give interim protection for those rivers recommended to 
Congress until Congress rules on a final recommendation.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Questions about the proposed action and environmental impact statement 
should be directed to Phil Horning, Wild and Scenic River Coordinator, 
P.O. Box 6003, Nevada City, CA 95959, phone (916) 265-4531.

    Dated: October 24, 1995.
