The analysis area in- cludes the Big Sagehen, Silvies, and Bridge Creek allotments. The planning area is located in Grant and Harney Counties 18 miles north of Burns, Oregon, encompassing about 54,506 acres within the Silvies River Watershed. The legal description is: Township 17- 20 South, Range 30-32 East, multiple sections. The Emigrant Creek Ranger District proposes to continue authoriz- ing livestock grazing on three grazing allotments within the South Silvies Complex planning area using adaptive management strate- gies designed to meet Forest Plan standards and guidelines. Some elements involved with the proposed action may include analysis of grazing rotation strategies, riparian area protection, development of upland water sources, construction of new fencing, and modification of existing fence locations.

Persons requesting such confidentiality should be aware that, under the FOIA, confidentiality may be granted in only very limited circum- stances, such as to protect trade secrets. The Forest Service will inform the requestor of the agency’s decision regarding the request for confidentiality and where the request is de- nied, the agency will return the submission and notify the requestor that the comments may be resubmitted with or without names and addresses. We invite your comments as your input will help us decide how to proceed with this project. Specific, solution-oriented comments that focus on the proposed project or identify issues with the proposal would be the most useful in our planning efforts. This specific input will help us develop alternatives that address those issues.

Instructions for comments: It is important that reviewers provide their comments at such times and in such a manner they are useful to the agency’s preparation of the environmental impact state- ment. Therefore, comments should be provided prior to the close of the comment period and should clearly articulate the reviewer’s concerns and comments. The submission of timely and specific comments can affect a reviewer’s ability to participate in the sub- sequent objection process or judicial review. Comments received in response to this solicitation, including names and addresses of those who comment, will be part of the public record for this pro- posed action. Comments submitted anonymously will be accepted and considered; however, anonymous comments will not provide the respondent with standing to participate in subsequent objection process or judicial review. Comments can be mailed to Blue Mountain Ranger District, c/o Sasha Fertig, 431 Patterson Bridge Road / P.O. Box 909, John Day, OR 97845 or by fax to 541-575-3319.

E-mails submitted to e-mail addresses other than those listed above, in other formats, or containing viruses will be rejected. For electronically mailed comments, the sender should normally re- ceive an automated electronic acknowledgement from the agency as confirmation of receipt. If the sender does not receive an auto- mated acknowledgement of the receipt of the comments, it is the sender’s responsibility to ensure timely receipt by other means. Comments will be accepted for 45 days following the date of publi- cation of the notice of availability in the Federal Register, published on November 2, 2018; therefore, to be most useful, comments on this proposed action should be received by the Blue Mountain Ranger District on or before December 17, 2018. The publication date of the notice of availability in the Federal Register is the exclusive means for calculating the comment period for a proposed action in a draft environmental impact statement. Those wishing to comment should not rely upon dates or timeframe information provided by any other source. It is the responsibility of all individu- als and organizations to ensure their comments are received in a timely manner, before the end of the comment period. Only individuals who submitted written comments specific to the project during the previous scoping period, scoping period exten- sion, or during this 45-day comment period for the Ragged Ruby Draft Environmental Impact Statement will have standing to file an objection (36 Code of Federal Regulations 218.7). The final EIS and decision document for this project will be mailed to those who request them. I appreciate the interest you have shown in this project and request your continued assistance in the management of forest resources in the Ragged Ruby planning area. Steven K.

Notice is further given to any person named in ORS 86.778 that the right exists, at any time that is not later than five days before the date last set for the sale, to have this foreclosure proceeding dismissed and the trust deed reinstated by paying to the beneficiary of the entire amount due (oth- er than such portion of the principal as would not then be due had no default occurred) and by curing any other default complained of herein that is capable of being cured by tendering the performance required under the obligations or trust deed, and in addition to pay- ing said sums or tendering the performance necessary to cure the default, by paying all costs and expenses actually incurred in enforc- ing the obligation and trust deed, together with trustee’s fees and attorney’s fees not exceeding the amounts provided by said ORS 86.778.

In construing this notice, the masculine gender includes the feminine and the neuter, the singular includes the plural, the word “grantor” includes any successor in interest to the grantor as well as any other person owing an obligation, the performance of which is secured by said trust deed, and the words “trustee” and “benefi- ciary” include their respective successors in interest, if any. Also, please be advised that pursuant to the terms stated on the Deed of Trust and Note, the beneficiary is allowed to conduct property in- spections while property is in default. This shall serve as notice that the beneficiary shall be conducting property inspections on the said referenced property. Without limiting the trustee’s disclaimer of representations or warranties, Oregon law requires the trustee to state in this notice that some residential property sold at a trustee’s sale may have been used in manufacturing methamphetamines, the chemical components of which are known to be toxic. Prospective purchasers of residential property should be aware of this potential danger before deciding to place a bid for this property at the trustee’s sale. The Fair Debt Collection Practice Act requires that we state the following: This is an attempt to collect a debt, and any information obtained will be used for that purpose. If a discharge has been ob- tained by any party through bankruptcy proceedings: This shall not be construed to be an attempt to collect the outstanding indebted- ness or hold you personally liable for the debt.
