Stewardship Contracting Pilot Project; Multiparty Monitoring and
Evaluation Process

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice; reopen comment period.

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

SUMMARY: The Forest Service is reopening the comment period on the
proposed framework for the multiparty monitoring and evaluation
component of the stewardship contracting pilot projects. Notice of this
framework was published on August 17, 1999, in the Federal Register;
and the comment period ended September 16, 1999. The agency has
received requests to reopen the comment period from interested parties
and from representatives of communities involved in the pilots. The
agency realizes that many local groups may not have been aware of the
Federal Register notice and may not have had adequate time to provide
comment on the proposed framework during the summer field season.
Therefore, the agency is reopening the comment period for 30 days.

DATES: Comments must be received, in writing, on or before November 3,
1999.

ADDRESSES: Questions about this notice may be sent to Cliff Hickman,
via mail at USDA Forest Service, Forest Management, Mail Stop 1105,
P.O. Box 96090, Washington, DC 20090-6090 or electronically to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 347 of the FY 1999 Omnibus
Appropriations Act authorized the Forest Service to implement up to 28
stewardship end results contracting projects. Notice of the draft
framework for multiparty monitoring and evaluation for these projects
