NO. 30244 Opportunity to Comment: Flathead Forest Plan Suitability Changes: Winter Travel Management and Recommended Wilderness Project; Flathead National Forest; Flathead County, Montana The Flathead National Forest is seeking public comments on an environmental assessment for the Flathead Forest Plan Suitability Changes: Winter Travel Management and Recommended Wilderness Project.  The purpose of the project is to align allowed over-snow vehicle use, and allowed uses within recommended wilderness areas, with revised land management plan suitability determinations. We propose to designate over-snow vehicle use on about 12,588 acres and remove 12,258 acres from designated over-snow vehicle use. The project also includes a forest order that would prohibit public use of mechanized transport and motorized use in recommended wilderness areas. The project would also amend the land management plan to clarify direction for administrative use of mechanized transport and motorized use in recommended wilderness areas. The project area includes recommended wilderness areas and other National Forest System lands across the Glacier View, Hungry Horse, Spotted Bear, Swan Lake, and Tally Lake Ranger Districts of the Flathead National Forest. The environmental assessment is available on the project webpage at https://www.fs.usda.gov/project/?project=61460. The proposal regarding over-snow vehicle use and recommended wilderness areas is an activity implementing a land management plan and is subject to the pre-decisional administrative review process at 36 Code of Regulations (CFR) 218 subparts A and B.
