The USDA, Forest Service, Los Padres National Forest, gives notice of intent to conduct an analysis and prepare an EIS for reissuance of a 20-year special use permit for the Winchester Canyon Gun Club (WCGC). This notice announces the beginning of scoping, describes the proposed action and the decision to be made, and estimates the dates for filing the draft and final EIS. This notice also provides information concerning public participation and the names and addresses of Agency officials, who can provide information. The Agency issued an NOI in the Federal Register (Vol. 74, No. 230, Wednesday, December 2, 2009). However, issuance of the draft EIS has been delayed. Because of this delay, the Agency is reissuing the NOI to ensure timely scoping and a timely release of the documents.
