DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Forest Service


Proposed Fourmile Timber Sale Within the Patrick Butte Roadless 
Area, Payette National Forest, Adams County, Idaho

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

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

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

SUMMARY: The USDA Forest Service published a revised notice of intent 
for the Fourmile Timber Sale in the Federal Register March 26, 1993 
(Vol. 58, No. 57, pages 16394-16395). That revised notice is hereby 
revised to show a change in the schedule of the EIS.
    The Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) was released August 
1993. Due to the large fires of 1994 the Final Environmental Impact 
Statement (FEIS) was put on hold while the interdisciplinary team 
members worked on the fires and the fire salvage analysis. In 1996, the 
Forest formed a new interdisciplinary team to complete the FEIS. The 
FEIS is now scheduled to be released in August of 1997.

ADDRESSES: Send written comments to David Alexander, Forest Supervisor, 
Payette National Forest, P.O. Box 1026, McCall, Idaho 83638.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Questions about the proposed action should be directed to Debbie Ellis, 
Team Leader, phone (208) 347-0314; or Kimberly Brandel, District 
Ranger, phone (208) 347-0300.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The USDA Forest Service is proposing to 
reconstruct roads, harvest and regenerate timber in the Fourmile Timber 
Sale area. This sale lies partially within the Patrick Butte Roadless 
Area, Adams County, Idaho. Within the proposed sale area, drainages 
include: Threemile, Fourmile, and Sixmile Creeks which are tributaries 
to the Little Salmon River.
    The Responsible Official is David F. Alexander, Forest Supervisor, 
Payette National Forest.

    Dated: August 8, 1997.
David F. Alexander,
Forest Supervisor.
