Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest; Washington; Amendments to the Okanogan and Wenatchee National Forest Land Management Plans

Summary

The Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, is amending the 1989 Okanogan National Forest Land Management Plan and 1990 Wenatchee National Forest Land Management Plan (forest plans). The Forest Service has prepared a Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the Planning and Management of Domestic Sheep and Goat Grazing Within the Range of Bighorn Sheep Project and a draft Record of Decision that includes a programmatic plan amendment to both forest plans. The plan amendment would add two standards for domestic sheep and goat grazing activities on the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest to both forest plans. This notice is to inform the public that the Okanogan- Wenatchee National Forest is initiating a 60-day period where individuals or entities with specific concerns about the amendments to the forest plans may file objections for Forest Service review prior to the approval of the amendments.
