SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and

Service announces the availability of a Final Environmental Impact 
Statement (FEIS) for an applicant's proposal to acquire a road easement 
and reconstruct an access road to their private land in-holding on the 
San Juan National Forest. The FEIS analyzes the impacts of issuing the 
road easement and reconstructing Forest Development Road (FDR) 205 to a 
standard that would allow reasonable access to the landowner's private 
land in-holding.

to the San Juan Public Lands Center, Attn: Jim Powers, 15 Burnett 
Court, Durango, Colorado 81301; or phone (970) 247-4874. The FEIS is 
also available on the internet at ftp://ftp2.fs.fed.us/incoming/r2/sanjuan/lizard_head.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Patrick McCoy at (970) 82-6821 or Jim 
Powers at (970)247-4874.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The responsible official for issuance of the 
road easement is Richard Stem, Deputy Regional Forester, Rocky Mountain 
Region at P.O. Box 25127, Lakewood, Colorado 80225-0127. The EIS 
addresses road reconstruction and issuance of an easement across such 
road for the purpose of providing the applicant access to non-federally 
owned lands within the boundaries of the San Juan National Forest. The 
private landowner has proposed use of the existing road to meet their 
access needs.
