SUMMARY: This notice lists the newspapers that will be used by all 
Ranger Districts, Forests, and the Regional Office of the Pacific 
Southwest Region to publish legal notices of all decisions subject to 
appeal under 36 CFR parts 215 and 217 and to publish notices for public 
comment and notice of decision subject to the provisions of 36 CFR part 
215. Further these newspapers will become the newspapers of record for 
planning as defined in 36 CFR 219.16 and by notification required under 
36 CFR part 218. The intended effect of this action is to inform 
interested members of the public which newspapers will be used to 
publish legal notices for public comment or decisions; thereby allowing 
them to receive constructive notice of a decision, to provide clear 
evidence of timely notice, and to achieve consistency in administering 
the appeals and objection processes.

DATES: Publication of legal notices in the listed newspapers will begin 
with decisions subject to appeal that are made after publication of 
this notice in the Federal Register. The list of newspapers will remain 
in effect until another notice is published in the Federal Register.
