Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 177 / Thursday, September 16, 2021 / Notices
Sierra Nevada USDA Forest Service 2019, referred to as the Conservation Strategy. The Conservation Strategy provides updated management recommendations, based on best available science, that focus on maintaining high-quality spotted owl habitat while increasing habitat resiliency across landscapes.

Expected Impacts Among the significant impacts expected to be analyzed in the EIS are:
Effects on habitat for the California spotted owl and other old forestassociated species, impacts on roadless area characteristics in IRAs, and impacts on the density and distibution of trees greater than 30 inches DBH.

Substantive Provisions
Responsible Official The Responsible Official is the Forest Supervisor of the Tahoe National Forest.

In accordance with 36 CFR 219.13, the Responsible Official has determined the following specific substantive requirements within 219.8 through 219.11 are directly related to the plan direction being added, modified, or removed by the proposed amendments:
36 CFR 219.8a1: Sustainability, a Ecological sustainability. 1 Ecosystem Integrity; 36 CFR 219.9a1 and 2 and b: Diversity of Plant and Animal Communities, a Ecosystem plan components, 1 Ecosystem integrity and 2 Ecosystem diversity and b Additional Species-Specific Plan Components; 36 CFR 219.10a1, 5, 7, and 8: Multiple Use, a Integrated resource management for multiple use;
1 Aesthetic values, cultural and heritage resources, ecosystem services, fish and wildlife species, forage, geologic features, grazing and rangelands, habitat and habitat connectivity, recreation settings and opportunities, riparian areas, scenery, soil, surface and subsurface water quality, timber, trails, vegetation, viewsheds, and other relevant resources and uses; 5 Habitat conditions, subject to the requirements of 219.9, for wildlife, fish, and plants commonly enjoyed and used by the public; for hunting, fishing, trapping, gathering, observing, subsistence, and other activities in collaboration with federally recognized Tribes, Alaska Native Corporations, other Federal agencies, and State and local governments; 7 Reasonably foreseeable risks to ecological, social, and economic sustainability; and 8
System drivers, including dominant ecological processes, disturbance regimes, and stressors, such as natural succession, wildland fire, invasive species, and climate change; and the ability of the terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems on the plan area to adapt to change 219.8.
Preliminary Alternatives An alternative that does not adopt the proposed project-specific forest plan amendments would be developed and analyzed. Other alternatives would be developed based on scoping input.

Scoping Comments and the Objection Process This notice of intent initiates the scoping process, which guides the development of the environmental impact statement. In this process, the Agency is requesting comments on potential alternatives and impacts, and identification of any relevant information, studies or analyses of any kind concerning impacts affecting the quality of the human environment.
Please visit the North Yuba Forest Partnership website for information about public meetings: https
yubaforests.org.
It is important that reviewers provide their comments at such times and in such manner that they are useful to the Agencys preparation of the environmental impact statement.
Therefore, comments should be provided prior to the close of the comment period and should clearly articulate the reviewers concerns and contentions. Commenting during scoping and any other designated opportunity to comment provided by the Responsible Official will also establish standing to object once the final EIS and Draft Record of Decision has been published. Comments received in response to this solicitation, including names and addresses of those who comment, will be part of the public record for this proposed action.
Comments submitted anonymously will be accepted and considered, however, they will not be used to establish standing for the objection process.
Nature of Decision To Be Made The EIS will support staged decisionmaking, which will be documented in multiple records of decisions for subproject areas that have completed surveys. For all decisions, the Responsible Official will consider all reasonable alternatives in light of the purpose and need and environmental effects to decide whether to implement the proposed action, implement one of the other action alternatives, or decide to take no action for one or more of the sub-project areas within the Landscape.

In the initial record of decision, the Responsible Official will also determine whether to modify, remove, and add specific forest plan components that would apply to actions in the North Yuba Landscape Resilience Project area during the life of the Project.
Subsequent decisions will be made as required surveys are completed and subproject areas reviewed for possible new information and/or changed circumstances.
