Quosatana/Bradford Timber Sales and Integrated Resource Projects, 
Siskiyou National Forest, Curry County, OR

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Cancellation of an environmental impact statement.

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

SUMMARY: On January 8, 1992, a Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an 
environmental impact statement (EIS) for the Quosatana/Bradford Timber 
Sales and Integrated Resource Projects on the Gold Beach Ranger 
District of the Siskiyou National Forest was published in the Federal 
Register (57 FR 664). A Notice of Availability for the draft EIS was 
published in the Federal Register on April 17, 1992 (57 FR 13743). 
After an extension of the comment period on the draft EIS, the comment 
period ended June 22, 1992. Forest Service has decided to cancel the 
environmental analysis process. An EIS was being prepared because 
timber harvest was proposed in an inventoried roadless area. This area 
was designated as Late-Successional Reserve under the Record of 
Decision for Amendments to Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management 
Planning Documents Within the Range of the Northern Spotted Owl. Timber 
harvest is no longer planned in this area at this time. The NOI is 
hereby rescinded.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Direct questions regarding this cancellation to Bill Blackwell, 
Resource Planner, Gold Beach Ranger District, 29279 Ellensburg, Gold 
Beach, Oregon 97444. (541) 247-3600.

    Dated: April 13, 1998.
J. Michael Lunn,
Forest Supervisor.
