Boundary Modification to Colorado Roadless Area Boundary, Rio 
Grande National Forest

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice of proposed Colorado Roadless Area boundary 
modifications; request for comment.

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

SUMMARY: The Forest Service proposes to modify the Wightman Fork to 
Lookout Roadless Area boundary on the Rio Grande National Forest to 
include parcels of non-federal land and remove federal land for the 
Summitville Interchange land exchange. The Chief of the Forest Service 
proposes to modify this boundary after a 90-day public comment period.

DATES: Comments must be received in writing by February 28, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Written comments concerning this notice should be addressed 
to Tom Malecek, Rio Grande National Forest, 1803 West Highway 160, 
Monte Vista, CO 81144. Comments may also be sent via email to [email protected] or via facsimile to (719) 852-6250.
    All comments, including names and addresses when provided, are 
placed in the record and are available for public inspection and 
copying. The public may inspect comments received at the above address. 
Visitors are encouraged to call ahead to (719) 852-5941 to facilitate 
entry to the building.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information, including 
maps of the proposed adjustments, contact Tom Malecek, Deputy Forest 
Supervisor, at (719) 852-6225. Additional information concerning this 
boundary modification, including maps, may be obtained on the Internet 
at: https://www.fs.usda.gov/project/?project=52819.
    Individuals who use telecommunication devices for the deaf (TDD) 
may call the Federal Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1-800-877-8339 
between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, Monday through 
Friday.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Colorado Roadless Rule permits the Chief 
of the Forest Service to modify Colorado Roadless Area boundaries after 
a 90-day public comment period. Pursuant to 36 CFR 294.47(a), the 
Forest Service proposes to modify the Wightman Fork to Lookout Roadless 
Area boundary, located in the Rio Grande National Forest, to allow for 
the inclusion of 10 acres of non-federal land to be acquired by the 
Forest Service and remove 16 acres of federal land to be conveyed to 
non-federal parties for this land exchange. With the boundary 
modifications, the exchange would result in a net decrease to Colorado 
Roadless Areas of approximately six acres.

Responsible Official

    The Forest Service is analyzing the impacts of the land exchange 
and roadless area boundary modifications. The Chief of the Forest 
Service is the responsible official for the boundary modification under 
the Colorado Roadless Rule. The Forest Supervisor, Rio Grande National 
Forest, is the responsible official for the land exchange. The Forest 
Service will consider public comments on the proposed boundary 
modifications in coordination with the proposed land exchange.

    Dated: November 20, 2017.
Tony Tooke,
Chief.
