Fairfield Ranger District Sheep Allotment AMP EIS, Fairfield 
Ranger District, Elmore & Camas Counties, Idaho

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Cancellation of Notice of intent to prepare environmental 
impact statement.

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

SUMMARY: This document provides notice of cancellation of the intent to 
prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) on a proposal to update 
the allotment management plans for twelve sheep allotments on the 
Fairfield Ranger District.

DATES: The draft environmental impact statement was originally 
scheduled for March 2001 with a 45-day public review and comment 
period. The publishing and distribution of this draft EIS is cancelled.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Terry Fletcher, Interdisciplinary Team 
Leader, Sawtooth National Forest, 2647 Kimberly Road East, Twin Falls, 
ID 83301 (208) 737-3200.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A notice of intent to prepare an 
environmental impact statement appeared in the Federal Register on 
September 1, 2000 (pages 53261 and 53262) announcing the intent to 
prepare and release a draft EIS in March 2001 with a final EIS 
scheduled for May 2001. The deadline for public scoping comments 
expired October 6, 2000.
    The original notice of intent informed the public of the agency's 
intention to document the analysis of twelve sheep allotments in an 
EIS. The primary reason for the cancellation is that revised direction 
has been issued by the Responsible Official to complete a capacity 
determination on all thirty-one sheep and cattle allotments on the 
Fairfield Ranger District.

Ed Waldopfel,
Acting Forest Supervisor.
