DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Forest Service
Assessment Report of Ecological,
Social, and Economic Sustainability,
Conditions, and Trends for the Rio
Grande National Forest
Forest Service, USDA.
Notice of initiating the
assessment phase of the Rio Grande
National Forest land management plan
revision.

AGENCY:
ACTION:

The Rio Grande National
Forest, located in south central
Colorado, is initiating the forest
planning process pursuant to the 2012
Forest Planning Rule (36 CFR 219). This
process results in a Forest Land
Management Plan which describes the
strategic direction for management of
forest resources for the next fifteen to
twenty years on the Rio Grande National
Forest. The first phase of the process,
the assessment phase, has begun and
interested parties will be invited to
contribute to the development of the
assessment (36 CFR 219.6). The Forest
hosted a series of informational
meetings with key stakeholders and the
public in the fall of 2014, and will be
hosting additional meetings between
January and June 2015. Additional
information on public participation
opportunities will be available on the
project Web site: http://www.fs.usda.
gov/riogrande. The trends and
conditions identified in the assessment
will help in identifying the need for
change, in the development of plan
components.
DATES: A draft of the assessment report
for the Rio Grande National Forest is
expected to be completed by fall of 2015
and will be posted on the Rio Grande
National Forest Web site at http://www.
fs.usda.gov/riogrande. From January
2015 through June 2015, the public is
invited to engage in a collaborative
process to identify relevant information
and local knowledge to be considered
for the assessment. The Forest will then
initiate procedures pursuant to the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) and prepare a forest plan
revision. The Forest will again be
inviting the public to help identify the
appropriate plan components that will
become the NEPA proposed action and/
or alternatives for the land management
plan revision. The NEPA procedures
result in a record of decision and the
plan revision process results in a draft
revised plan. The Federal Register
availability announcement for these
documents starts the pre-decisional
administrative review process (36 CFR
