Shasta-Trinity National Forest; California; I-5 Corridor Fuels 
Reduction Project

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Withdrawal of Notice of Intent to prepare an Environmental 
Impact Statement.

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

SUMMARY: The Shasta-Trinity National Forest is withdrawing its Notice 
of Intent issued on April 22, 2011, for preparation of an Environmental 
Impact Statement (EIS) for the I-5 Corridor Fuels Reduction Project. No 
significant issues were identified during this scoping period or any 
other opportunity to comment. Upon further evaluation, it also appears 
that there are no potential significant impacts to the human 
environment associated with the project. As a result, the Forest is 
withdrawing its intent to prepare an EIS and is now preparing an 
Environmental Assessment (EA). All comments previously received 
regarding this project will be retained and considered in the 
development of the EA. If it is determined that the project may have 
significant impacts, the EIS process will be reinitiated and a notice 
of intent will be published.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Questions concerning this notice and 
requests to be added to the project mailing list should be directed to 
Andrew Spain, Shasta Lake Ranger District, Shasta-Trinity National 
Forest, 14225 Holiday Road, Redding, CA 96003. Telephone: (530) 242-
5548. Email: aspain@fs.fed.us. Individuals who have previously 
submitted comments on this project will remain on the project mailing 
list and do not need to contact the Forest.
