DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Granite Mountain Timber Sales, Okanogan National Forest, Okanogan 
County, WA

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Cancellation of an environmental impact statement.

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

SUMMARY: On June 13, 1991, a notice of intent to prepare an 
environmental impact statement (EIS) for the Granite Mountain Timber 
Sales, which included the Little Granite, Pebble and Baldy Timber 
Sales, was published in the Federal Register (56 FR 27227). The notice 
of intent was revised on April 15, 1993 in the Federal Register (58 FR 
19646), in which the Baldy Timber Sale was dropped, and timelines for 
completion were extended. A Notice of Availability for the draft EIS 
was published in the Federal Register on September 24, 1993 (58 FR 
49996). Because of the current emphasis on fire recovery, watershed 
analysis and the Eastside Ecosystem Management Project, the notice of 
intent is being cancelled, and no final EIS will be issued for the 
project. The Forest expects to issue a new notice of intent to prepare 
an EIS for the project area in Spring of 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Direct questions regarding this 
cancellation to Teresa Wurschmidt, Project Coordinator, Tonasket Ranger 
District, P.O. Box 466, Tonasket, Washington 98855 or telephone (509) 
997-5116.

    Dated: October 14, 1994.
Sam Gehr,
Forest Supervisor.
