ACTION: Notice of newspapers of record.

SUMMARY: This notice updates the newspapers that will be used by the

intended effect of this action is to inform interested members of the 
public which newspaper 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.

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

information; and where and how to file comments or appeals/objections. 
The date the notice is published will be used to establish the official
