AZ

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

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

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

SUMMARY: On March 13, 2008, the USDA Forest Service, Coronado National 
Forest, published a Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an environmental 
impact statement (EIS) for the Rosemont Copper Project (73 Federal 
Register 13527). This revised NOI advises the public of a change in the 
duration of the period during which the Forest Service will accept 
comments on the scope of the Rosemont Copper Project EIS. It also 
provides the locations for three public hearings at which oral 
testimony will be taken, along with written comments. All other 
information given in the original NOT will remain the same until 
further notice is given.
    Public hearing dates and locations are as follows:
     May 12, 2008 in Elgin, Arizona.
     June 7, 2008 in Sahuarita, Arizona.
     June 30, 2008 in Tucson, Arizona.

DATES: The NOI published on March 13, 2008, advises the public that 
written and oral comments concerning the scope of the ETS analysis must 
be received by the Forest Service within 30 days following the date of 
publication of the NOI in the Federal Register. This duration of the 
scoping period has been extended by the Forest Service from 30 days to 
120 days. Thus, the scoping period for the EIS will conclude on July 
14, 2008. All written and oral public comments must be received by that 
date to be given full consideration during the EIS analysis.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For further information about this 
notice, please contact Ms. Beverley A. Everson, Team Leader, at (520)
