Seiad-Horse Risk Reduction Project Happy Camp/Oak Knoll Ranger District, Klamath National Forest Appendix E – Response to Comments Results of the Comment Period The comment period for the environmental assessment resulted in the receipt of 525 comment letters, including 40 unique letters and 453 form letters, and 32 form letters that included additional information (“form-plus letters”). Comments were identified in these letters regarding issues and concerns raised by the author that are directly related to proposed project activities. These comments were then categorized according to the primary topics of their content. Within these topics areas, comments were grouped together and summarized along with similar comments. The interdisciplinary team then responded to these summary statements to address the issue or concern identified, or clarify where more information was requested. As you will see below, each topic area begins with this summary “concern statement,” followed by the Forest Service’s response, and then a table of the quoted comments as they appeared in submitted letters. If a comment was unique in its subject from any other comments, it was addressed individually. Any comments that provided substantive new information were considered and necessary revisions made to the environmental assessment and supporting documents or addressed in the draft decision notice. Literature provided in support of a comment that was not previously considered was reviewed by resource specialists and considered in their final analyses where applicable to the Seiad-Horse Risk Reduction Project. A table is included below which lists the names of commenters who submitted letters with a unique identifying number assigned to each commenter. Form letters are included once in this list with one identifying number, although form plus letters are uniquely numbered. All letters submitted during the EA comment period are available for review in the public reading room on the project website: https://www.fs.usda.gov/project/?project=52933 Quoted comments included in this response document are identified by unique comment number which is first the number of the letter submitted, and second a unique identifying number for the comment itself. Should commenters seek to find responses to their own specific comments, this letter number identifier can be used to search for where the Forest responded to their comments in this document. Finally, a table of comment topics is provided to allow for navigation to topics a reviewer may be interested in reading. Regarding the comment response topic numbers themselves, they are not intended to provide any prioritization for the topics discussed (the topics are randomly ordered) and are not continuous (some numbers are missing). These numbers were generated by the database used to process and analyze comments and do not represent any intention of the responders. Missing numbers do not mean that responses or comments are missing or not included. The environmental assessment (EA) referenced in this response to comments is the EA that was available at the time of its release for the public review and comment period unless it is identified specifically as the updated EA. 1 Seiad-Horse Risk Reduction Project Happy Camp/Oak Knoll Ranger District, Klamath National Forest Commenters by Name, Organizational Affiliation (if provided), Letter Number and Letter Type Letter Name Organization Letter Type # Michelle Bienick 1 Unique Vickie Simmons Seiad Resident 2 Unique Debbie Taylor Seiad Resident 3 Unique Dustin Kuykendall 4 Unique Courtlandt Jennings 5 Master Form Andrew Schwarz Ridgeline Meadows Farms 6 Form Plus Patrick Ayres Seiad Fire Safe Council 7 Unique Sandra Baker 8 Unique Anon Anderson 9 Master Form Hannal Cate 12 Form Plus Cindy Cordova 15 Form Plus Jeff Davies 16 Form Plus Anon Ellis 18 Form Plus Kelley Harding 21 Form Plus Mark Harlings 22 Form Plus Patricia Hine 24 Form Plus Anonymous 25 Form Plus Anonymous 26 Form Plus Anonymous 30 Form Plus Andrea Anon 31 Form Plus Anonymous 32 Form Plus Michelle Lute 35 Form Plus Anon Meyer 37 Form Plus Ann Millhollen 38 Form Plus Lynda Pries 41 Form Plus Hallie Roberts 44 Form Plus Max Ha Sierra Pacific Industries 46 Unique 49 to 51 George Sexton KS Wild Unique and 69 Ian Nelson PCTA 52 Unique 53 Klamath Forest Alliance Luke Ruediger and Unique (Siskiyou Field Office) 56 Dominick DellaSala, Ph.D Geo Institute 54 Unique Luke Breit 57 Form Plus Gary Rainey Horse Creek Resident 58 Unique Kimberly Baker Klamath Forest Alliance 59 Unique 2 Seiad-Horse Risk Reduction Project Happy Camp/Oak Knoll Ranger District, Klamath National Forest Letter Name Organization Letter Type # Christopher Lish 60 Unique 62 to Tom Wheeler EPIC Unique 65 Greeley Wells 66 Unique Gail Battaglia 67 Unique Casey Slezak 68 Unique Park Walker 70 Unique Georgina Wright 71 Unique Wendy Lawrence 111 Form Plus Doug Heiken 148 Unique Charlene Woodcock 176 Form Plus Bill Gardner 203 Form Plus John Livingston 213 Form Plus Nancy Schimmel 231 Unique Nuri Pierce 238 Form Plus Bojan Ingle 264 Form Plus John Rogerson 288 Unique Carolyn Ayres 316 Unique Bonnie MacRaith 368 Form Plus Tanya Marseille 435 Unique Lawrence Jimenez 437 Form Plus Tena Scruggs 453 Unique Jared Laiti 475 Unique N.D.

    112 JOURNAL OF THE LEPIDOPTERISTS' SOCIETY LARVAL FOODPLANT RECORDS FOR 106 SPECIES OF NORTH AMERICAN MOTHS NOEL MCFARLAND P.O. Box 475, Geraldton, Western Australia 6530 Since I donated the remainder of my former North American insect collection to the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, Cali­ fornia (Donahue, 1972), it now seems worthwhile to report many of the larval foodplant records associated with the moth life history material. These specimens (both immatures and associated adults) comprise about 40% of the total collection, and are now available for loan to specialists. The majority of species represented are from localities in California and Oregon; a few are from Arizona, central New Mexico and eastern Kansas. Foodplant records for some of these moths have already been published (Buckett, 1964, 1970; Hogue et aI., 1965; McFarland, 1959-1967); only a few of these have been repcated again here, but with corrected or additional data in all cases. Many of the foodplant names appearing here are entirely new records, or at least have never been published for the localities concerned, even though some of them may be known to certain workers. Probably fitting the latter category are some Oregon records which appeared in my Master's thesis (1963), of which 20 copies were privately distributed in 1963-64. These records still remain to be made "official" through publication, however, so are included in the present paper. I was inspired to compile this list after reading a recent plea by R. B. Dominick (1972) and an excellent paper by Shields, et al. (1970). I have essentially followed the format devised by the latter for reporting larval foodplants, as illustrated under the 14 butterfly species included in their paper.

One-hundred and sixty-six taxonomic changes are proposed, consisting of 13 species- group taxa accorded species status (stat. n. and stat. rev.), 2 revalidated genus-group taxa (stat. rev.), and 2 family-group taxa raised to subfamily. Sixty-nine species-group taxa are downgraded to junior synonyms or subspecies (stat. n., syn. rev., and syn. n.), and 6 genera relegated to synonymy.
