Northwest Baranof Timber Sale(s) Draft Environmental Impact
Statement, Tongass National Forest, Chatham Area, Sitka Ranger
District, Sitka, Alaska

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice of extension of comment period for subsistence testimony
and public comments on the draft EIS.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Agriculture, Forest Service will extend the
period for written testimony regarding subsistence use and for public
comment on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the
Northwest Baranof Timber Sale(s) in Sitka, Alaska. Comments on the
Draft EIS and written testimony for the subsistence hearing must now be
received by 5 p.m. October 16, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The period for public comment and written
testimony regarding subsistence use in the Project Area will be
extended for the following reasons: (1) The high level of local public
interest in timber harvesting on National Forest lands and specifically
within the Northwest Baranof Project Area; and (2) the possibility of
confusion regarding the identification of the Forest Service's
preferred Alternative. Appropriately, Chapter 2 of the Draft EIS
identifies Alternative 2 as the preferred alternative, however, this
would not be apparent if the reader relied solely on the Summary of the
Draft EIS.
Copies of the Draft EIS and further information are available from
the Northwest Baranof Planning Team, USDA Forest Service, Sitka Ranger
District, 204 Siginaka Way, Sitka, Alaska, 99835, (907) 747-6671. For
further information call (907) 747-6671.

Dated: September 19, 1995.
James S. Franzel,
Acting Forest Supervisor.
