Roadless area comments may be screened RARE II input to be made public An analysis of more than 260,000 public comments on how 62 million acres of national forest roadless areas should be used can be examin ed soon in Forest Service offices across the country, Forest Service Chief John R. McGuire announced this week . He said the comments will help the U.S. Department of Argriculture develop its recommendations on which of the proposed HARE II areas should be wilderness, non- wilderness or require further planning. On June 15, Forest Service issued a draft enviromcntal statement containing alterna tive approaches for allocating use of over 2, 0(H) roadless and underdeveloped areas in the 187-million-acre National For est System.

The period for submitting comments ended Oct. 1. McGuire said the 264,093 public comments received on the draft was the largest public response the agency has ever received on the enviromental statement. The Forest Service established a temporary center at Salt Lake City, Utah, where each com ment was read and and included in the analysis of public response. McGuire said the comments came from nearly 300,000 individuals, and included letters, reports, res olutions, petitions, form let ters and response forms. Comments were received from every state with the largest number coming from Oregon, Idaho and California, in that order. McGuire said the public may view a display of the public comment and analysis at Forest Service headquart ers in Washington, D C. and in regional and forest offices throughout the country begin ning next week. The display, on microfilm, consists of tables which ' show break downs of responses by states and types of responses in the categories of approaches, decision criteria and site preferences. McGuire said every roadless area mention ed in the draft enviromental statement received comments which recommended either wilderness or non-wilderness status. Very few people rec ommended further planning, he said. "High scenic beauty and wild values" was the most frequently given reason for recommending wilderness de signation of specific areas. The most frequently given reason for recommending non-wilderness status for spe cific areas was "negative impact on the economy." Another category on which the public was asked to comment related to approach es or methods decision makers should use in deciding allocation of the total roadless area inventory. "Scenery" and "preserving wildlife" were the most frequently cited reasons in the comments received favoring an ap proach which would empha size wilderness designation. "Motorized access and rec reation," "economics and jobs," and "timber values" were the most frequently identified reasons in the comments which favored an approach emphasizing alloca tion of areas to non-wilderness. The draft statement sug gested seven criteria which could be used in developing recommendations for allocat ing the roadless areas. Mc Guire said all seven suggested criteria were supported by public comments. The criter ion most frequently supported was consideration of meeting the Forest Service targets established in the 1975 pro gram required by the Renewa ble Resources Planning Act. In addition to the seven primary criteria, the public also suggested other criteria to be used, such as "manage able boundaries," and "adja cent to existing wilderness." McGuire said that USDA recommendations for use. of the roadless areas will be set forth in a final enviromental statement to be issued by the end of the year. The Administration's prop osals for which of the areas -should, be designated wilder ness will go early to the 96th Congress, he said. Congress usually holds hearings on the proposals before any areas are designated wilderness. McGuire said the Forest Service will hold hearings on those roadless areas which Congress has already designa ted as "wilderness study" areas. McGuire noted also that there will be additional opportunities for public com ment on areas recommended for further study as they move through the regular land planning processes. IWJfafWfWa.il
