Forests, Chelan Ranger District, Washington

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Revised notice of intent to prepare an environmental impact 
statement.

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

SUMMARY: On October 17, 2002, the USDA, Forest Service, Okanogan and 
Wenatchee National Forests, published a Notice of Intent (in Federal 
Register, 67 FR 64082) to prepare an environmental impact statement 
(EIS) for Crupina Vegetation Management. The current Forest Service 
vegetation management strategy would be more accurately reflected if 
this project EIS were titled ``Crupina Integrated Weed Management 
Project''. Therefore, this EIS is revised. Other environmental analyses 
activities related to past wildfires have delayed the release dates for 
this EIS. The revised release date for the draft EIS will be July 2003 
and the final December 2003.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jim Archambeault, Crupina Project Team 
Leader, Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forests; phone: (509) 997-9738 or
