ACTION:

Notice of withdrawal.

SUMMARY:

The Sisters Ranger District, Deschutes National Forest, is withdrawing their intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Popper Vegetation Management Project. The original Notice of Intent (NOI) was published in the Federal Register on January 4, 2011 (Vol. 76, No. 2, p 315-316). The Forest Service has determined that because of changed conditions due to the 2012 Pole Creek fire that a new project is necessary. The new project would be documented in an environmental assessment (EA).
