Newspapers Used for Publication of Legal Notices by the Pacific 
Northwest Region, Oregon, Washington, and Parts of California

AGENCY: Forest Service, Agriculture (USDA).

ACTION: Notice of newspapers of record.

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

SUMMARY: This notice lists the newspapers that will be used by the 
ranger districts, national forests, and the regional office of the 
Pacific Northwest Region to publish legal notices required under the 
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). 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 and 
notices of decision. This will provide the public with constructive 
notice of Forest Service proposals and decisions; provide information 
on the procedures to comment, object or appeal; and establish the date 
that the Forest Service will use to determine if comments or appeals/
objections were timely.

DATES: The list of newspapers will remain in effect for one year from 
the date of publication when another notice will be published in the 
Federal Register.

ADDRESSES: Christine Pyle, Program Specialist, Pacific Northwest 
Region, 1220 Southwest Third Avenue, Portland, OR 97204.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christine Pyle, Program Specialist, 
Pacific Northwest Region, by telephone at 971-245-0269 or by email at 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The administrative procedures at 36 CFR 214, 
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 214, 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 or appeals/objections. 
The date the notice is published will be used to establish the official 
date for the beginning of the comment or appeal/objection period.
