SUMMARY: On October 19, 1999, the Forest Service published in the 
Federal Register a Notice of Intent to prepare an environmental impact 
statement for a proposed rule for the protection of roadless areas. The 
notice requested public comment on the scope of the analysis, on 
possible alternatives, and on whether an exemption should be granted to 
the Tongass National Forest. On November 10, 1999, the Forest Service 
published a meeting notice of 10 public scoping meetings around the 
country. The agency now gives notice of additional local public scoping 
meetings to be hosted by National Forest offices throughout the United 
States. A schedule of meeting locations, dates, and times is set out in 
the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of this notice.

DATES: The dates of these additional scoping meetings are listed in a 
table in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of this notice. The 
deadline for responding to the notice of intent remains December 20, 
1999.

ADDRESSES: The planned locations and dates for the ongoing National 
Forest-level scoping meetings are set out in the SUPPLEMENTARY 
INFORMATION section of this notice. All written comments on the Notice 
of Intent should be mailed to: USDA Forest Service-CAET, Attention: 
Roadless Areas NOI, P.O. Box 221090, Salt Lake City, Utah 84122 or 
faxed to 801-517-1021. Comments may be sent to Roadless/wo__caet-

Enterprise Team, telephone: 801-517-1020, or send comments to Roadless/

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In addition to previously announced regional 
meetings, the Forest Service is providing additional opportunities for

System. The scoping meetings are scheduled at the times and places
