The proposed alternatives consist of the no-action alternative which is the existing 1985 forest plan, alternative B which has a site-specific emphasis, alternative C which has an accelerated restoration emphasis and is the preferred alternative, and alternative D which has a primitive recreation emphasis. The Forest Service will use the predecisional administrative review process, also referred to as the objection process, described in the 2012 Planning Rule (36 CFR 219 Subpart B). This process gives an individual or entity an opportunity for an independent Forest Service review and resolution of issues before a final plan is approved. Subpart B identifies who may file objections to a plan revision, the responsibilities of the participants in an objection, and the procedures that apply to the review of the objection. Section 219.53 of the Planning Rule describes who may file an objection. Individuals and entities who have submitted substantive formal comments related to this plan revision during the opportunities for public comment for this decision may file an objection. Comments: It is important that reviewers provide their comments at such times, and in such a way, that they are useful to the preparation of this draft environmental impact statement. Therefore, comments should be provided prior to the close of the comment period and should clearly articulate the reviewer’s concerns and contentions. The submission of timely and specific comments can affect a reviewer’s ability to participate in subsequent administrative review or judicial review. Comments received in response to this solicitation, including names and addresses of those who comment, will be part of the public record for this proposed action. Comments submitted anonymously will be accepted and considered; however, anonymous comments will not provide the respondent with standing to participate in subsequent administrative or judicial reviews. Comments on the draft environmental impact statement should be specific and should address the adequacy of the draft environmental impact statement, the merits of the alternatives discussed, or both (40 CFR 1503.3). Send comments to: [website address] OR Forest Planner, Forest Plan Revision Cibola National Forest and National Grasslands 2113 Osuna Rd NE Albuquerque, NM 87113 (505) 346-3901 fax [Comment email address] Date comments must be received: Within 90 days following publication of the notice of availability of the draft environmental impact statement in the Federal Register. The notice is expected to be published on or around [Date]; however, it is the commenter’s responsibility to calculate the end of the 90-day period. Summary The Cibola National Forest proposes to revise the Cibola Mountain Districts Land and Resource Management Plan (forest plan) to meet the legal requirements of the National Forest Management Act and the provisions of the 2012 Planning Rule. There is a need to revise the existing 1985 forest plan to address the changing social and environmental conditions over time, address the significant public issues raised, and guide natural resource management activities for the next 10 to 15 years. The area affected by this draft environmental impact statement is the National Forest System lands within the Cibola’s four mountain districts: Mount Taylor, Magdalena, Mountainair, and Sandia. The need for plan revision is also directly related to the Cibola’s eight overarching needs for change developed from public comments and through a series of collaborative public workshops (see “Public Involvement” section). The revision needs are related to resource areas such as ecological integrity, cultural and historic resources, areas of tribal importance, multiple uses, recreation, designated areas, infrastructure, land status and ownership, use and access, energy, minerals, and special uses. The public has submitted comments at each major milestone in plan revision to date including the assessment (USDA Forest Service 2014), the notice of intent and the needs for change (USDA Forest Service 2015), and the preliminary draft plan (USDA Forest Service 2016). Scoping efforts for forest plan revision began in earnest during the summer of 2014 following the release of the draft assessment report. Cibola staff invited the public to a number of collaborative work sessions during which key findings from the draft assessment report were presented and people were invited to identify needs for change to the 1985 forest plan. The public was asked what revisions needed to be made to current plan direction to address the conditions, trends, and risks evident from the assessment analyses. This process was useful in crafting needs for change to the current plan and identifying management concerns and

Willey United States Forest Rocky Mountain General Technical Report Department Service Research Station RMRS-GTR-256WWW of Agriculture May 2011 Ganey, Joseph L.; Ward, James P. Jr.; Willey, David W. 2011. Status and ecology of Mexican spotted owls in the Upper Gila Mountains recovery unit, Arizona and New Mexico. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-256WWW. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 94 p. Abstract This report summarizes current knowledge on the status and ecology of the Mexican spot- ted owl within the Upper Gila Mountains Recovery Unit (UGM RU). It was written at the request of U.S. Forest Service personnel involved in the Four Forests Restoration Initia- tive (4FRI), a collaborative, landscape-scale restoration effort covering approximately 2.4 million ac (1 million ha) across all or part of four National Forests (Apache-Sitgreaves, Coconino, Kaibab, and Tonto National Forests) located within the UGM RU. The UGM RU supports >50% of the known population of Mexican spotted owls, and the central location of the UGM RU within the overall range of the owl appears to facilitate gene flow throughout that range. Consequently, the UGM population is viewed as important to stability within the overall range of the owl, and management that impacts owls within the UGM RU could affect owl populations beyond that RU.

    Chapter 1: Introduction In Ecological and Biological Diversity of National Forests in Region 3 Bruce Vander Lee, Ruth Smith, and Joanna Bate The Nature Conservancy EXECUTIVE SUMMARY We summarized existing regional-scale biological and ecological assessment information from Arizona and New Mexico for use in the development of Forest Plans for the eleven National Forests in USDA Forest Service Region 3 (Region 3). Under the current Planning Rule, Forest Plans are to be strategic documents focusing on ecological, economic, and social sustainability. In addition, Region 3 has identified restoration of the functionality of fire-adapted systems as a central priority to address forest health issues. Assessments were selected for inclusion in this report based on (1) relevance to Forest Planning needs with emphasis on the need to address ecosystem diversity and ecological sustainability, (2) suitability to address restoration of Region 3’s major vegetation systems, and (3) suitability to address ecological conditions at regional scales. We identified five assessments that addressed the distribution and current condition of ecological and biological diversity within Region 3. We summarized each of these assessments to highlight important ecological resources that exist on National Forests in Arizona and New Mexico: • Extent and distribution of potential natural vegetation types in Arizona and New Mexico • Distribution and condition of low-elevation grasslands in Arizona • Distribution of stream reaches with native fish occurrences in Arizona • Species richness and conservation status attributes for all species on National Forests in Arizona and New Mexico • Identification of priority areas for biodiversity conservation from Ecoregional Assessments from Arizona and New Mexico Analyses of available assessments were completed across all management jurisdictions for Arizona and New Mexico, providing a regional context to illustrate the biological and ecological importance of National Forests in Region 3.
