ACTION: Revised Notice; Intent to prepare environmental impact 
statement.

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

SUMMARY: The Forest Service is preparing an environmental impact 
statement (EIS) for a proposal to implement a Fuels and Wildlife 
improvement project on the Nevada County Ranger District. This project 
intends to utilize vegetative manipulation, biomass removal, and 
prescribed fire to lower existing fire hazards and improve wildlife 
habitat in the project area. Some timber will be harvested to help 
accomplish desired levels of crown closures and spacing of standing 
trees. The Notice of Intent to prepare an Environmental Impact 
Statement was published in the Federal Register on Wednesday, March 12, 
1997 [Volume 62, Number 48, Page 11413-11414]. That Notice announced 
the project name as San Juan Wildlife and Fuels Improvement Projects; 
now, the name has been changed to San Juan Fuels Management, Wildlife 
Habitat Management, and Timber Harvest Projects.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Questions about the proposed action and environmental impact statement 
should be directed to Donn Thane, San Juan Project Coordinator, 631 
Coyote Street, Nevada City, CA 95959, phone [phone].

    Dated: December 15, 1997.
