SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As directed by the National Forest 
Management Act, the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, is 
preparing the Flathead National Forest's revised forest plan and an 
amendment to provide relevant direction from the Northern Continental 
Divide Ecosystem (NCDE) Grizzly Bear Conservation Strategy into the 
forest plans for the Helena, Kootenai, Lewis and Clark and Lolo 
National Forests. The Forest Service will prepare a single 
environmental impact statement (EIS) for its revised forest plan and 
the amendment.
    The revised Flathead forest plan will supersede the existing forest 
plan that was approved by the Regional Forester in 1986, and amended 
more than 20 times since. The existing Flathead forest plan will remain 
in effect until the revised forest plan takes effect. The management 
direction pertaining to grizzly bear within the current forest plans of 
the Helena National Forest, approved by the Regional Forester in 1986; 
Kootenai National Forest, approved by the Regional Forester in 2015; 
Lewis and Clark National Forest, approved by the Regional Forester in 
1986; and Lolo National Forest, approved by the Regional Forester in 
1986, as amended, will remain in effect until the proposed amendment 
takes effect.
    In response to this notice, we are asking for comments on the 
proposed action so we may refine the proposed action and identify 
possible alternatives to the proposed action. Comments concerning the 
scope of the proposed action must be received by May 15, 2015. The 
draft EIS is expected in January 2016 and the final EIS is expected in 
June 2017.
    The Flathead National Forest plan revision Web site 
(www.fs.usda.gov/goto/flathead/fpr) provides the full text of the 
proposed action, describing preliminary desired conditions, objectives, 
standards, guidelines, and other plan content; the 2014 Assessment; 
summaries of the public meetings and public meeting materials; and 
public comments. The forest plan amendment component of the proposed 
action for the Helena, Kootenai, Lewis and Clark, and Lolo National 
Forests is located at www.fs.usda.gov/goto/flathead/gbamend, which can 
be linked from the individual Forest's Web sites as well. The material 
available on these sites may be updated or revised at any time as part 
of the planning process.
    The 2012 Planning Rule is explained in more detail on the Forest 
Service's Web site at http://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/planningrule/home/
