Lawson Timber Sale and Associated Projects, Siskiyou National 
Forest, Curry County, OR

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Cancellation of an environmental impact statement.

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

SUMMARY: On April 27, 1992, a Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an 
environmental impact statement (EIS) for the Lawson Timber Sale and 
Associated Projects on the Gold Beach Ranger District of the Siskiyou 
National Forest was published in the Federal Register (57 FR 15279). 
Forest Service has decided to cancel the environmental analysis 
process. An EIS was being prepared because timber harvest was proposed 
in an inventoried roadless area. This area was designated as Late-
Successional Reserve under the Record of Decision for Amendments to 
Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management Planning Documents Within 
the Range of the Northern Spotted Owl. Timber harvest is no longer 
being planned in this area at this time. The NOI is hereby rescinded.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Direct questions regarding this 
cancellation to Bill Blackwell, Resource Planner, Gold Beach Ranger 
District, 29279 Ellensburg, Gold Beach, Oregon 97444. [phone].

    Dated: April 13, 1998.
J. Michael Lunn,
Forest Supervisor.
