SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As directed by the National Forest 
Management Act, the USDA Forest Service is preparing the Nez Perce-
Clearwater National Forests' revised land management plan (forest 
plan), which requires preparation of an environmental impact statement 
(EIS). The revised forest plan will supersede the existing forest plans 
that were approved by the Regional Forester in 1987. The existing 
forest plan will remain in effect until the revised forest plan takes 
effect. The Forest Service is asking for comments on the proposed 
action and the list of potential species of conservation concern.
    The Forest Service has extended the comment period for an 
additional 60 days, and is now asking the public to send their comments 
in by Nov. 14, 2014 for them to be the most useful in development of 
alternatives. The full text of the proposed action, large-scale color 
maps, information on public meetings, and the list of potential species 
of conservation concern can be found on the Forest's Web site at http://www.fs.usda.gov/nezperceclearwater; follow the links for Forest Plan 
Revision. Hard copies of the proposed action are available by 
contacting 208-935-2513 or via email at [email protected]. 
Information gathered during this scoping period, as well as other 
information, will be used to prepare the draft plan and the draft EIS.

    Dated: September 3, 2014.
