SUMMARY: This notice lists the newspapers that will be used by all 
Ranger Districts, Grasslands, Forests, and the Regional Office of the 
Southwestern Region to publish legal notices required under 36 CFR 
parts 215, 218, and 219. The intended effect of this action is to 
inform interested members of the public which newspapers the Forest 
Service will use to publish notices of proposed actions, notices of 
decision, and notices of opportunity to file an objection. This will 
provide the public with constructive notice of Forest Service proposals 
and decisions, provide information on the procedures to comment, 
appeal, or object, and establish the date that the Forest Service will 
use to determine if comments, appeals, or objections were timely.

DATES: Publication of legal notices in the listed newspapers will begin 
on the date of this publication and continue until further notice.

Administrative Review Coordinator; (505)842-3223.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The administrative procedures at 36 CFR 
parts 215, 218, and 219 require the Forest Service to publish notices 
in a newspaper of general circulation. The content of the notices is 
specified in 36 CFR parts 215, 218, and 219. In general, the notices 
will identify: the decision or project, by title or subject matter; the 
name and title of the official making the decision; how to obtain 
additional information; and where and how to file comments, appeals, or 
objections. The date the notice is published will be used to establish 
the official date for the beginning of the comment, appeal, or 
objection period. Where more than one newspaper is listed for any unit, 
the first newspaper listed is the primary newspaper of record of which 
publication date shall be used for calculating the time period to file 
comment, appeal, or an objection.
