Mesa, Uncompahgre and Gunnison National Forests, Gunnison County, CO

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Supplement to Notice of intent to prepare an environmental

impact statement; scoping date extension.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A previously published Notice of Intent (FR

Vol. 59, No. 64, April 4, 1994, Pages 15702-3) announced Forest Service

plans to prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) on a proposal

to upgrade and expand the Crested Butte Ski Area. The announcement

noted a general information meeting to discuss the proposed expansion,

and the associated EIS, with the public. Due to a clerical error, the

notice was published after the date of the meeting, March 29, 1994 (not

1993 as indicated in the notice). Notice of the meeting was widely

circulated locally, and approximately 80 people attended. As a result,

the Forest Service believes the meeting adequately provided general

information to the public. Other meetings will be scheduled for this

purpose should the need arise. Also, the Forest Service has extended

the scoping period by one month from June 1, 1994 to July 1, 1994, to

insure adequate time for public input.

ADDRESSES: Send written comments to Crested Butte Ski Area Analysis,
