DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Forest Service


Payette National Forest, Idaho; Lick Timber Sale

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice of cancellation of an environmental impact statement.

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

SUMMARY: On July 10, 2002, the USDA Forest Service published in the 
Federal Register (67 FR 45699) a Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an 
environmental impact statement (EIS) for the Lick Timber Sale project 
on the Council Ranger District of the Payette National Forest. The 
Forest Service has conducted a scoping process, and as a result of 
initial environmental analysis, has reduced the scope and scale of the 
project. The reconfigured proposed action is appropriate for analysis 
in an environmental assessment (EA) instead of an EIS. Therefore, an 
EIS will not be prepared, and the NOI is hereby canceled.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Questions about the cancellation of 
the NOI should be directed to Bill Spoerer, Environmental Coordinator, 
Council Ranger District, Payette National Forest, P.O. Box 567, 
Council, Idaho, 83612, phone (208) 253-0100.

    Dated: November 3, 2003.
Robert S. Giles,
Acting Forest Supervisor.
