Shasta-Trinity National Forest; California; Lower McCloud Fuels 
Management Project

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Withdrawal of notice of intent to prepare an Environmental 
Impact Statement.

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

SUMMARY: The Shasta-Trinity National Forest is withdrawing the Notice 
of Intent (NOI) to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for 
the Lower McCloud Fuels Management Project. The original NOI was 
published in the Federal Register on March 22, 2016. No significant 
issues were identified during this scoping period or any other 
opportunity to comment. Upon further evaluation, it also appears that 
there are no potential significant impacts to the human environment 
associated with the project. As a result, the Forest is withdrawing its 
intent to prepare an EIS and is now preparing an Environmental 
Assessment (EA). All comments previously received regarding this 
project will be retained and considered in the development of the EA. 
If it is determined that the project may have significant impacts, the 
EIS process will be reinitiated and a NOI will be published.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Questions concerning withdrawal of the 
NOI should be addressed to Emelia Barnum at the following address:

submitted comments on this project will remain on the project mailing 
list and do not need to contact the Forest.
