ACTION: Cancellation of an environmental impact statement.

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

SUMMARY: On February 25, 1992, a Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an 
environmental impact statement (EIS) for the Two Forks Timber Sales and 
Other Projects on the Chetco Range District of the Siskiyou National 
Forest was published in the Federal Register (57 FR 6490). A Notice of 
Availability for the draft EIS was published in the Federal Register on 
May 22, 1992 (57 FR 21792). After an extension of the comment period on 
the draft EIS, the comment period ended July 20, 1992. 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 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 The NOI is hereby rescinded.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.
