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

SUMMARY: In accordance with Section 3(d)(1) of the Wild and Scenic 
Rivers Act, the Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and 
Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announce the completion and 
availability of a comprehensive river management plan for nine wild and 
scenic rivers (CRMP for Nine Wild and Scenic Rivers), including 
Collawash River, Eagle Creek, East Fork Hood River, Fifteenmile Creek, 
Fish Creek, Middle Fork Hood River, South Fork Clackamas River, South 
Fork Roaring River, and Zigzag River. Approximately 0.6 miles of South 
Fork Clackamas River is managed by the BLM; the remaining portion of 
South Fork Clackamas River and all other eight wild and scenic rivers 
in this plan are managed by the Forest Service. On January 10, 2022, 
Mt. Hood National Forest Forest Supervisor, Meta Loftsgaarden, signed a 
decision notice to adopt the CRMP for Nine Wild and Scenic Rivers on 
National Forest System lands. Also on January 13, 2022, the BLM 
Northwest Oregon District's Cascades Field Office Manager John Huston 
signed a decision to adopt this CRMP on the BLM-administered lands. The 
CRMP for Nine Wild and Scenic Rivers addresses resource protection, 
development of lands and facilities, user capacities, and other 
management practices necessary or desirable to achieve the purposes of 
the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. This CRMP was prepared after 
consultation with Tribal, State and local governments and the 
interested public. An environmental assessment (EA) was prepared as 
part of the CRMP development. This EA has been prepared in compliance 
with the National Environmental Policy Act and other relevant federal 
laws and regulations. The EA discloses the direct, indirect, and 
cumulative environmental effects that would result from adopting the 
CRMP.

ADDRESSES: The CRMP, EA, and decision notices are available for review 
at: https://www.fs.usda.gov/project/?project=54674; or, https://eplanning.blm.gov/eplanning-ui/project/124163/570. Also, the documents
