SUMMARY: Pursuant to 43 CFR 1610.3-1 (d), notice is hereby given that 
the Idaho East Zone Forestry Program of the Bureau of Land Management 
intends to conduct an Environmental Assessment Record (EAR) to provide 
a systematic and analytical evaluation of the potential environmental 
impacts of proposed forest management practices in the Malad and 
Pocatello Resource Areas.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ray Brainard, East Zone Forester, 
Bureau of Land Management, 1111 N. 8th St., Pocatello, Idaho 83201, 
(208) 236-6860.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Environmental Assessment Record (EAR) 
will provide proposals and alternatives regarding silvicultural 
practices in the Malad and Pocatello Resource Areas, i.e., 
reforestation/species selection, controlled fire, commercial and non-
commercial thinning, calculation of allowable sale quantities, etc. The 
EAR will not preclude or eliminate detailed, site specific 
environmental assessments. All forest practice initiatives will 
continue to require a site specific EA in addition to compliance with 
the proposed EAR. Issues anticipated from the proposal include; 
increasing road densities, C-2 candidate species, wildlife habitat, 
etc. The following resources will be considered in preparing the EAR: 
wildlife, soils, hydrologic, cultural, and recreation. The times and 
schedules for public meetings and written comments will be announced in 
local news media and to individuals and groups through the postal 
service. Relevant documents will be available for public review at the 
BLM, Malad Resource Area Office, Malad City, Idaho and the Pocatello 
Resource Area Office, Pocatello, Idaho.

    Dated: November 7, 1995.

Operations Manager.
