COEUR d'ALENE - The Forest Service has extended the comment period on the Idaho Panhandle and Kootenai National Forest Draft Forest Plans and Draft Environmental Impact Statements.
The revised comment period ends on May 7, providing an additional 30 days to the comment period, which began on Jan. 3, and was originally scheduled to close on April 5.
"We understand that these documents are long and complex, so we agreed to extend the comment period after receiving requests from several local communities," said Idaho Panhandle National Forests Supervisor Mary Farnsworth. "The plans reflect 10 years of working with our partners, communities and interested publics and we want to ensure they all have ample time to digest what is contained in these documents and provide meaningful comments."
The documents are available at any Idaho Panhandle Ranger District Office and the Forest Supervisor's Office. They are also available on line at www.fs.fed.us/kipz, by phone request at 765-7417 or through email requests directed to r1_kipz_revision@fs.fed.us.
Written or electronic comments will be accepted through May 7 and should be submitted to: Idaho Panhandle National Forests, Forest Plan Revision, 3815 Schreiber Way, Coeur d'Alene, ID 83815 or IPNFplanrevision@fs.fed.us.
