ACTION:  Notice of Decision on the Utah Northern Goshawk Project 
Environmental Assessment.

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

SUMMARY:  In the November 9, 1999, Federal Register (Vol. 64, No. 216, 
pages 61062-61063), notice was given by the Intermountain Region of the 
Forest Service that the Environmental Assessment for the Utah Northern 
Goshawk project was available for review and comment for 60 days.
    On March 14, 2000, Regional Forester Jack A. Blackwell made his 
decision to implement Alternative F as the management direction to 
maintain and restore habitat for the northern goshawk on the National 
Forests in Utah. This decision amends the goals, objectives, standards, 
guidelines and monitoring requirements established in the current land 
and resource management plans (forest plans) for the Ashley, Dixie, 
Fishlake, Manti-LaSal, Uinta, and Wasatch-Cache National Forests. The 
amendments will be in effect until the forest plans are revised.
    The decision may be appealed in accordance with the provisions of 
36 CFR 217, as identified in the Decision Notice. The appeal period 
ends on May 22, 2000. Copies of the Decision Notice are available for 
calling 801/615-5897 or from the Utah Northern Goshawk Project's 
website at: www.fs.fed.us/r4/goshawk.
