Supplement to the Veteran/Boulder Project Area Final 
Environmental Impact Statement; Black Hills National Forest; Spearfish/
Nemo Ranger District; Lawrence and Meade Counties, SD

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Cancellation of a supplement to a final environmental impact 
statement.

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

SUMMARY: On April 21, 1999, a Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare a 
supplement to the final environmental impact statement for the Veteran/
Boulder Project area (EIS No. 990191) on the Spearfish/Nemo Ranger 
District of the Black Hills National Forest was published in the 
Federal Register (64 FR 76). A Notice of Availability of a draft 
supplement was published in the Federal Register (64 FR 117) on June 
18, 1999. Activities proposed in the draft supplement included timber 
harvest of mountain pine beetle infested trees to reduce an existing 
epidemic in the Forbes Gulch area of the Beaver Park roadless area. The 
NOI is being withdrawn because a separate, larger analysis, the Beaver 
Park Project Area analysis, has begun and this analysis has 
incorporated the activities that were proposed in the supplement. The 
NOI for the Beaver Park analysis was published in the Federal Register 
(64 FR 216) on November 9, 1999. The Forest Service NOI to prepare a 
supplement is hereby rescinded.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joy Trowbridge, Spearfish/Nemo Ranger 
District, Black Hills National Forest, 2014 No. Main Street, Spearfish, 
SD 57783, telephone 605-642-4622.

    Dated: November 23, 1999.

Forest Supervisor.
