ACTION: Notice, cancellation of notice of intent to prepare an environmental impact statement. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: On December 30, 1994, notice was published in the Federal Register [FR 67696] that an environmental impact statement would be prepared to assess the effects of timber harvest and road construction within the Boundary Creek drainage on the Bonners Ferry Ranger District, Idaho Panhandle National Forests. That notice is hereby cancelled. Changes in Agency direction have resulted in changes to the proposed action and substantial reductions in their anticipated effects and a determination that documentation in an environmental impact statement is no longer necessary. DATES: This action is effective December 31, 1998. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Pat Cooley, project leader, Bonners Ferry Ranger District, Idaho Panhandle National Forests, Route 4, Box 4860, Bonners Ferry, Idaho 83805-9764. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed actions of timber harvest and road construction and alternatives, including taking no action at this time, are being assessed and documented in the Blue-Grass Bound environmental assessment. It is anticipated that the pre-decision environmental assessment will be available for 30-day public comment period in February, 1998. After this public comment period, the comments will be analyzed and considered in reaching a decision regarding this proposal. The decision will be documented in a Decision Notice. I am the responsible official for this environmental analysis. My address is Bonners Ferry Ranger District, Route 4 Box 4860, Bonners Ferry, ID 83805-9764. Dated: December 18, 1997. Elaine J.
