NOTICE: Pursuant to Section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental 
Policy Act of 1969; the Council on Environmental Quality Guidelines (40 
CFR Part 1500); and the Natural Resources Conservation Service 
Guidelines (7 CFR Part 650); the Natural Resources Conservation 
Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, gives notice that an 
environmental impact statement is not being prepared for the Bedrock 
Creek Supplemental Watershed Protection Project, Clearwater and Nez 
Perce Counties, Idaho.
    The Plan/Environmental Assessment of this federally assisted action 
indicates that the project will not cause significant local, regional, 
or national impacts on the environment. As a result of these findings, 
Joyce Swartzendruber, Acting State Conservationist, has determined that 
the preparation and review of an environmental impact statement was not 
needed for this project.
    The Bedrock Creek Supplemental Watershed Protection Project 
consists of a system of land treatment measures designed to project the 
resource base, reduce off-site sediment, and improve the quality of 
waters entering the Clearwater River. Planned treatment practices 
include channel vegetation, proper grazing use, heavy use area 
protection, livestock exclusion, filter strips, stockwater 
developments, water and sediment control basins, fish stream 
improvements, fencing, and grade stabilization structures.
    The Notice of Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) has been 
forwarded to the Environmental Protection Agency. The basic data 
development during the plan/environmental assessment are on file and 
may be reviewed by contacting Ms. Joyce Swartzendruber. The FONSI has 
been sent to various Federal, State, and local agencies, and interested 
parties. A limited number of copies of the FONSI are available to fill 
single copy requests at the address stated on the previous page.
    No administrative action on the proposal will be initiated until 30 
days after the date of this publication in the Federal Register.

    Dated: March 25, 1996.

Acting State Conservationist.
