C E <br /> <br />The Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) on the Gunnison Basin <br />and the American Flats-Silverton Wilderness study has been completed. <br />This FEIS incorporates public and other government agency review comments <br />that were received during the public review period. Reviewers' comments <br />were made at public hearings and by letter. These comments and BlM's <br />responses are included within this document. <br /> <br />The FEIS is not the decision-making document. A Record of Decision in <br />the fqrm of a Wilderness Study Report, will be prepared for signature by <br />the Secretary of the Interior. The recommendations as to the suitability <br />of the WSAs discussed in the FEIS for designation as wilderness will be <br />presented in this Wilderness Study Report. The Secretary will review this <br />report and then submit his recommendations to the President by 1991. The <br />President then has two years to submit his recommendations to the Congress <br />for their action, Only the Congress can decide which areas will be <br />designated wilderness. <br /> <br />On behalf of my staff. I want to Express my appreciation for the time and <br />effort so many people took in commenting on each of the WSAs. <br /> <br />~F <br /> <br /> <br />State <br /> <br /> <br />D~~ <br />
