The purpose of <br />the Schedule of Proposed Actions is to provide you with information on whom to contact <br />should you wish to become involved through site-specific comments. This only provides <br />enough information to enable you to contact the proper person to become involved in the <br />analysis and decision process on the forest. <br /> <br />We welcome your interest and participation. We also encourage your involvement in <br />each project that you are interested in. Your participation is particularly helpful during. <br />the early stages of project formulation known as "scoping". It is during the "scoping" <br />process that we define the Purpose and Need for the project, identify issues and define the <br />extent of analysis that is needed. All projects are scoped separately from this SOP A If <br />yeu identify a pr~ject or projects that you are interested in, please :;ontact the ill Team <br />Leader shown on the schedule and provide project specific comments. <br /> <br />On January 19, 200 I, the Chief s Office issued a decision on Appeal #97 -13-00-0057 of <br />the Record of Decision for the Rio Grande National Forest Revised Land and Resource <br />Management Plan. Subsequently, the Secretary issued a discretionary review decision of <br />the Chiefs appeal decision on March 29, 2001. All Forest decisions on proposed actions <br />must be consistent with the Secretary's review decision. Issuance of a Forest decision <br />will be guided by the Secretary's instructions and public comment. Projects noted as <br />ongoing will be reviewed per the Secretary's direction. <br /> <br />If you want to be added to the mailing list for this SOP A, please contact Pat Prentice at <br />the address listed inside this packet for the Supervisor's Office of the Rio Grande <br />National Forest or e-mail ourofficeatmailroomr2riogrande@fs.fed.us..This <br />document can also be seen on our website at http://www.fs.fed.us/r2/riol!fande. <br />
