1.0 Introduction��The Bureau of Indian Affairs Navajo Region proposes to authorize new treatments of weed infestations spread across the Navajo Indian Reservation and to develop an Integrated Weed Management Plan. The BIA selected 21 priority noxious and invasive weed species that occur within the project area. These weed infestations range in size from single plants to a single species covering several thousand acres. The various methods to be analyzed in the integrated weed management plan include: mechanical (clipping, mowing, tilling, bulldozing, steaming, and burning); cultural control (grazing by livestock, fertilization, seeding or planting of competitive plants, and use of weed seed-free seed mixes, mulches and ballast); biological (approved insects or plant pathogens); and chemical (approved herbicides).
As part of the environmental review process, the BIA held public scoping meetings to obtain public, stakeholder and cooperating agency input required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) regulations. This scoping report summarizes comments, feedback, and input received prior to the close of scoping on March 20, 2013 for the development of the Integrated Weed Management Plan and Environmental Impact Statement.
1.1� Purpose�of�Scoping��
The Council on Environmental Quality Regulations at 40 CFR 1501.7 requires an early and open process to determine the scope of issues to be addressed and for identifying the significant issues related to a proposed action. This process is termed “scoping.” The scoping process is used to learn the concerns of individuals, groups, and agencies about a proposed project. Scoping is an integral part of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review process because it allows interested parties an opportunity to help develop a list of issues to be discussed in an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The Bureau of Indian Affairs NEPA handbook, 30 BIAM Supplement 1, paragraph 6.3B, identifies that the preparation of an EIS begins with the scoping process. A Notice of Intent to prepare an EIS is required to include the public notice for the scoping process.
2.0 �Project�Overview��2.1 Project�Background�
Exotic weed infestations have become an increasing problem on the Navajo Nation. Weeds have been introduced through a variety of methods, with the primary vectors of introduction being weed hay, grain, and seed; construction of roads; transport by livestock and wildlife; contaminated vehicles; and disturbance from infrastructure development. Weed expansion causes a decline in quality grazing habitat, decreases in property values, and declines in wildlife habitat quality.
2��
2.2 Draft�Purpose�and�Need�of�the�Project�
The purpose of this project is to contain and control, eradicate, and prevent weed infestations within the project area. The desired goal is to prevent new weed species from becoming established, to contain and control the spread of 11 known invasive species, and to eradicate 10 species that occur in a limited range but have the potential to increase in density and threaten biological diversity within the project area (Table 1). Controlling these invasive plants will help improve rangeland and agricultural land health by improving the growth of native forbs and grasses for the benefit of subsistence ranching and farming, increasing the diversity of native riparian trees and understory species in riparian corridors, preventing additional weed infestations to unaffected land and property, and maintaining and improving wildlife habitat. While noxious weeds have been documented throughout the project area, few areas have been inventoried and mapped. Therefore, weed inventory and mapping will be conducted concurrently with implementation of this plan to identify existing weed populations within the project area.

Table 1. List of 21 species of priority weeds for control on the Navajo Nation. High Priority Weeds (A Rating) have an imminent potential for wide spread expansion. Medium Priority Weeds (B Rating) may occur in isolated
3��
patches and are not as a serious problem as the high priority weeds. Low Priority Weeds (C Rating) are wide-spread and well established.
The Bureau of Indian Affairs Navajo Region has currently controlled almost 17,000 acres of exotic weed infested areas using various methods of control. With the current spread of exotic weeds across the Navajo Nation there is a need for federal funding to continue and expand these weed removal efforts. This EIS and Weed Management Plan is the first step in obtaining funding and resources to implement exotic weed removal projects using various control methods.
The BIA Navajo Region proposes to authorize new treatments for weed infestations on every acre of the Navajo Indian Reservation using any of the proposed methods. The annual combination of methods used would vary depending on site conditions, target weed species, population size, and cost. Repeated treatments or re-treatments would be necessary for most weed species because seeds in the soil can be viable for 10 years or more and many of these invasive weeds have aggressive root systems that are hard to kill after one treatment. Therefore, recurring actions would be authorized until the desired control objective is reached.
�2.3 Project�Location��The action area includes all land within Navajo Indian Reservation, including Navajo Indian Allotments, within Coconino, Navajo, and Apache Counties – Arizona, McKinley, San Juan, McGill, and Cibola, Counties - New Mexico, and San Juan County – Utah. The Navajo Region is approximately 27,000 square miles including the Navajo Partitioned Lands of 910,834 acres with five agencies: Fort Defiance Agency of 3.2 million Acres (Fort Defiance, AZ), Central Navajo Agency of 1.7 million acres (Chinle, AZ), Eastern Navajo Agency of 1.2 million acres (Crownpoint, NM), Western Navajo Agency of 5.4 million acres (Tuba City, AZ), and Northern Navajo Agency of 2.7 million acres (Shiprock, NM). ��2.4 Alternatives�Introduced�at�Scoping��There were three alternatives that were presented by the BIA during scoping. Input received during the scoping period, including comments related to the alternatives listed below, will be considered by the BIA in determining the characteristics and the range of the alternatives when they are prepared for the EIS.
Alternative 1. The Preferred Action Alternative 1 would authorize new treatments of noxious weeds across the Navajo Nation. The various methods analyzed under an integrated weed treatment approach include: manual, mechanical, cultural, biological and chemical. Under the preferred action every acre on the Navajo Nation will be evaluated for all proposed weed control methods.
Alternative 2. No Action Alternative
The No Action Alternative is required by law (Code of Federal Regulations 1502.8) and would call for no additional Integrated Weed Management treatments applied to any Navajo Nation lands.
4��
Alternative 3. No Chemical Method Alternative
Alternative 3 would rely on all treatment methods for noxious weed removal except for chemical.
�2.5 Cooperating�Agencies�
�A cooperating agency is any federal agency that has jurisdiction by law or special expertise with respect to any environmental impact involved in a proposed action. For this proposed project the following agencies have agreed to be cooperating agencies: Navajo Nation, Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), National Park Service, and Soil Water Conservation District (SWCD).��� �3.0 Scoping�Meetings�
�The BIA held public scoping meetings during February 5-12 and March 11-15, 2013 regarding the preparation of the Navajo Nation Integrated Weed Management Plan (IWMP) and Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). Below is a summary of the procedure and events that occurred during the scoping process. �3.1 Notice�of�Intent�
The BIA informed agencies and the public about the IWMP/EIS and solicited their comments to identify issues and questions to consider when developing the integrated weed management plan. A Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare the programmatic EIS for the Navajo Nation IWMP was published in the Federal Register on January 14, 2013 (Vol. 78, No. 9) with a 45-day comment period as required by NEPA. The original close of scoping date ended on February 27, 2013.However, the scoping period was extended after receiving several comments from the public and stakeholders requesting an extension to allow for additional public scoping meetings and more advertising. The Notice to Extend the Scoping Period to prepare the programmatic EIS for the Navajo Nation IWMP was published in the Federal Register on Friday, March 8, 2013 (Vol. 78, No. 4) with the end of the scoping comment period to close on March 20, 2013. Copies of the NOI and the Notice to Extend the Scoping Period can be found in Appendix A.
3.2 Scoping�Meeting�Schedule��Scoping meetings were conducted at five locations during the initial scoping period and six more meetings were added during the extended scoping period. Two of the additional six meetings were presented at District Grazing Meetings by BIA Weed Coordinators, and were not advertised. The location, dates and times are listed below in Table 2.

Public flyers announcing the meetings were distributed and posted in public locations in the towns where the public scoping meetings were held one week prior to the meeting date (Appendix E).
3.4 Scoping�Meeting�Format�and�Content��Each scoping meeting was initiated with a sign-in sheet at the door or at a key access point to the seating locations. Along with the sign-in sheet, participants were encouraged to fill out a name tag and take a scoping meeting agenda and comment card. A copy of the sign-in sheet is located in Appendix F and the meeting agenda in Appendix G. The local Weed Coordinator for the area’s BIA Agency gave an introduction to the project, introduced the consultants and key BIA personnel, described the presentation format, invited people to visit the poster displays, and requested that everyone fill out a comment card and/or voice their comments. Four poster displays were hung in the meeting locations that outlined the integrated weed management plan and EIS and provided information on the 21 priority weed species (Appendix H). A voice-over presentation discussing the development of the EIS and the Integrated Weed Management Plan, including the aspects of NEPA, was presented initially in Navajo and again in English. A PDF of the presentation is located in Appendix I. The two presentations lasted approximately one hour and 45 minutes. After the presentations finished, a question-and-answer session was held for the public.
7��
The public could provide comments on the Integrated Weed Management Plan through various mechanisms. A Navajo Translator was present at each meeting to transcribe comments given in Navajo to English on the comment cards. Comment cards were distributed to the public when they entered the meeting to fill out and submit at the meeting or by mail to the following address:
Renee BenallyActing Navajo Region Weed CoordinatorWestern Navajo AgencyBranch of Natural Resources P.O. Box 127Tuba City, AZ 86045
Comment cards were designed to direct participants to provide substantive comments on specific areas of the Integrated Weed Management Plan and EIS (Appendix J). There was also an area for other concerns and comments. The focal areas included: proposed weed removal methods, priority sites for weed management, alternatives, concerns, and other. Verbal comments were accepted, and were not recorded verbatim, but notes were taken to summarize the speakers’ comments and statements. Comments were also accepted by Renee Benally via phone, email and fax from January 14- March 20, 2013. A total of 129 people attended as least one of the eleven public scoping meetings during the Scoping Period.
4.0 Scoping�Comment�Summaries�
This section provides an overview of the comments received during the scoping period for the Navajo Nation Integrated Weed Management Plan. Comments were categorized and separated by major issues raised by members of the public or government agencies in the scoping process.Specific issues and questions are discussed in each section and will be further addressed in the EIS. General comments, concerns, and questions not falling within one of the major issues identified, or comments that do not pertain to the scope of the EIS were not included, which is further discussed in section “4.13. Non-EIS Scoping Comments.” A total of 45 comments were received, including: 31 written comments, 12 verbal comments, one email comment, and one fax.
4.1 Removal�Methods��4.1.1 Biological�control��Biological control is a method of controlling pests (i.e. invasive plants) by using living organisms. In the case of invasive plant control several living organisms have been identified by U.S. Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), including mites, beetles, fungus, wasps, flies, moths, nematodes, and rusts. Several comments discussed interest and concern over bio-control, including:
8��
� One commenter was interested in learning what kind of bio-control would work with different weed species.
� Two commenters were concerned about bio-control agents being difficult to eradicate after the host plant is exterminated and if they will need to do additional treatments to eradicate the bio-control agent.
� One commenter was concerned about bio-control agents being safe around livestock, farmlands, and horticulture.
4.1.2 Chemical�Control��Chemical control will include using various approved herbicides for treatment of noxious weed species. Several commenters discussed their concerns over the effectiveness of chemical treatments and concern over the effects of chemicals on the community, other plants, and livestock. Another comment addressed elderly traditional concerns with chemical treatments. Other comments on chemical control included:
� Two commenters wanted to know what time of year was best for chemical treatment.
� One commenter inquired about how long after an application of chemical treatments could the area be used for grazing.
� One commenter was interested in the lingering effects of chemical control.
� One commenter was concerned about the effects on underground water contamination from chemical use.
4.1.3 Mechanical�Control���Mechanical control refers to the removal or cutting of weeds either by hand or through the use of mechanical tools such as mowers, bulldozers, loppers, etc. Mechanical methods can either trim the above ground portions of the weeds or involve the removal of the entire plant, including the below ground root system. Comments pertaining to mechanical control include:
� One commenter discussed their concern over the effectiveness of digging up weed species, since their experience showed that the weeds re-sprouted after digging.
� One commenter suggested that weeds should be burned in early spring because of the Navajo culture. They had concern over burning ants, lizards, snakes, and spiders.
� One commenter suggested using sheep to control weeds as a better alternative to chemical treatment.
4.1.4 Cultural�Control��As discussed above (Section 1.0), cultural control methods utilize cultural practices that prevent or out-compete invasive weed species. These include the use of grazing, cultural considerations for the timing of weed treatments, and planting native vegetation to outcompete weeds.
9��
� One commenter supports using cultural control.
� One commenter discusses the need to remove livestock from washes to minimize impacts after tamarisk have been removed.
4.1.5 Integrated�Weed�Control�
The proposed weed management plan includes an integrated approach of weed control using the methods described above. Several commenters recognized the need for integrated control of weeds. These comments included:
� Chemical, aerial, and mechanical methods may have to be used depending on effectiveness and accessibility to noxious weed sites.
� Pick an infected area locally and try different eradicating methods to find what works best.
4.1.6 General�Comments�on�Control�Methods�
The BIA received a number of general comments regarding control methods discussed during the presentation. These comments include:
� One comment discussed methods that they have found effective that they would like to see considered in the IWMP, including a stress method where a pick-up truck is used to drive over weed infested areas to stress the plants.
� Another comment was concerned with the timing of applying treatments.
� One commenter had concern with the effectiveness of any control methods being effective for the long-term control of weeds.
� One comment suggested that the Weed Management Plan consider using the NRCS Herbaceous Weed Control Program for mechanical, chemical, and biological treatment, NRCS Weed Control Practice Code 315.
� Many comments were interested in learning methods to control specific weed species.
� One comment suggested that weed removal will only work if the area is fenced.
� One commenter inquired if the proposed methods of weed extermination were currently being used somewhere else. �
� One commenter was concerned about the removal of livestock to another location during weed treatments. �
4.2 Alternatives��In addition to the three alternatives discussed above, the Navajo Nation Department of Fish and Wildlife, Navajo Natural Heritage Program requested that a fourth alternative be developed to
10��
consider weed control using cultural, chemical, and mechanical methods, but not biological control.�4.3 Priority�Sites�for�Weed�Control��
Originally, the BIA was considering developing a list of priority sites for weed control to be evaluated in the EIS. However, after further discussions with cooperating agencies the BIA decided that every acre on the Navajo Nation would be evaluated for any of the proposed control treatments. Scoping was performed prior to this decision; therefore the scoping comment card requested a list of priority sites for weed control from the public. While these sites will not be analyzed separately, they will be covered in the EIS. Several commenters provided suggestions for priority sites of weed control. These sites include the following:
� One commenter said that priority sites for weed removal will depend on farmland, home site lease or land use permittees.
� Two comments included range and farmland
� Chinle South Natural Dam and Red Reservoir Earth Dam west of Chinle.
� Watersheds
� Residential and harvest fields in Lupton, Houck, Klagetoh, Wide Ruins, and Sanders area.
� Areas near communities in Ganado, Kayenta, TC, Crownpoint.
� All open rangeland which have no management should be high priority.
� 15 dams in the Fort Defiance community.
� Cow Springs Wash
� Camelthorn around South Tuba City.
� Target Russian olive in water ways.
� Residential areas and homesteads
� Farms and canals
� Round Rock Lake and irrigation canals from the lake.
� Lukachukai, AZ- all the washes that come down from the mountains.
� Three comments suggested farms, lakes, ponds, washes, roads, and rangeland.
� Musk thistle located three miles northwest of Pinion High School and Sanddune Valley.
� Blue Gap Valley
� Bull thistle and cocklebur located three miles north of Pinion around Hwy 41- down Wash Valley. Typical names of the area are Tonikani, Tse Ha Nilii, Sanddune Valley.
� Navajo Partitioned Land and Hopi Partitioned Land
11��
� Many Farms Lake, Chinle Wash. Concerned about Russian olive debris taking out the Chinle Wash Bridge in a big flood event.
� Many Farms Lake and Farm Plot #10-2-46 NW of Sand Cone Spring Art Well.
� Little Colorado River-suggested that BIA should prioritize the Little Colorado River Invasive Species Management Plan.
4.4 Re�planting/Restoring�Sites�after�Weed�Removal�Treatments��Several commenters showed concern about re-seeding and restoring sites after weed removal treatments occurred. Below is a list of the comments and questions that were provided.
� Two commenters discussed the issues of what to do with livestock after an area is replanted with natives, one suggested that fencing should be a priority.
� Areas should be revegetated with more native trees.
� Two commenters were interested in the species of native plants that could be used to replant areas after weed removal.
� One commenter asked when an area can be re-seeded after treatment and where will funding come from.
� One commenter requested that re-seeding should occur.
4.5 Soil�Erosion�and�Disturbance�
Several commenters were concerned over the disturbance to soil when invasive weeds are removed and suggested that treated areas should be revegetated with native forage to stabilize soil, wind erosion, and cultural resources.
4.6 Education�and�Public�Outreach��During the scoping presentation, the use of public education and outreach were discussed to help with prevention of new weed infestations.
� Four people commented on the need for greater public outreach and education and community engagement. The comments suggested that public education and outreach should emphasize weed prevention to increase native vegetation for livestock; educational awareness material could be distributed as brochures, fact sheets, and posters; and that more BIA and tribal participation should occur at the Local Work Group meetings.
� Two comments suggested that education be focused through the schools by designing a local projects and have kids participate and provide an avenue for the information to reach the family.
� Two comments requested more information on restoration, weeds, plants, and trees that are removed and on how to control certain invasive weeds.
12��
� One commenter suggested that people should be informed about invasive weeds when they receive their grazing permits.
4.7 Priority�Weed�Species�
The BIA selected 21 priority noxious weed species to focus on in the proposed integrated weed management plan. Many of the priority weeds identified by the commenters were already on the BIA’s priority species list, including: Russian olive, saltcedar, camelthorn, spotted knapweed, puncturevine (bullhead), and musk thistle.
� One commenter discussed the dense thickets of Russian olive in washes provides ideal sites for parties, a hiding place for someone running from the law, and an area where cattle can hide from the owners.
� Another commenter discussed their concern of Russian olives taking over three acres of farmland near an artesian well where the community gets their water.Other species that were suggested by commenters to include on the weed priority list include: Russian thistle and cocklebur (Xanthium strumarium).
� Three commenters brought up an economic concern with the cocklebur getting stuck in sheep wool and decreasing the market value of the wool.
� Red willow was discussed as a concern by one commenter because they believe that the willow uses too much water.
� Milkweed (sp. ?) was a concern of one commenter, because it is poisonous for livestock.
� One commenter suggested that the highest priority should be to create a noxious and invasive weed plant list for the grazing districts with the help of the NRCS Local Work Groups.
�4.8 Economic�Concerns��One of the resources to be analyzed in the EIS is the impact of the integrated weed management plan on economic concerns.
� One commenter proposed that an effective weed eradication plant could serve to create jobs and potential entrepreneurial opportunities.
� One commenter was concerned about the impact of weeds taking the water from a water source designated for farming and ranching.
� Several commenters were concerned over the impact of invasive weeds on the declined condition of rangeland for their livestock and decreased value of wool from their sheep due to cocklebur entanglement.
� Many commenters would like to see the rangeland restored with native grasses to improve grazing habitat.
�
13��
4.9 Climate�Change��Several commenters were concerned about the impacts of grazing pressure and climate change on the proliferation of weeds, and suggested that climate change be evaluated in the EIS. One commenter suggested that the EIS should analyze and quantify the effects of grazing, weed-infested hay, and drought on the establishment and proliferation of weeds. �4.10 Policy�Concerns��Currently, the Navajo Nation allows weed infested hay to be sold and used on the Navajo Nation. This has been a source of exotic weed infestation. Several commenters discussed the need for a Navajo Nation weed law/policy that would only permit the sale and use of certified weed-free hay for livestock.
� One commenter suggested that invasive weeds should be included in a Livestock Management Plan.
� One commenter had concern over the grazing pressure and increase in noxious weeds and suggested that BIA enforce the grazing regulations.
�4.11 Maintenance�and�Monitoring��
� One commenter asked how sites were going to be monitored after areas were treated. �4.12 Cooperating�Agencies��As stated above in Section 2.5, a cooperating agency is any federal agency that has jurisdiction by law or special expertise with respect to any environmental impact involved in a proposed action.
� One commenter suggested that the Navajo Nation government, particularly the Agricultural Department, needs to be more involved in this project.
� One commenter suggested that if partnering agencies were able to consider funding this project it would serve to strengthen the resurgence of natural vegetation and wildlife, restore underground water levels and create more favorable conditions for future agricultural initiatives thereby restoring and strengthen Navajo cultural farming traditions.
� USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) does herbaceous weed control. They have a plan and practice standards including biochemical and mechanical controls. They would like to form partnerships with the BIA agencies. One commenter recommended that the BIA incorporate aspects of the NRCS practice standard for control, priority species identification, and community coordination into the proposed integrated weed management plan.
14��
4.13 Other�Comments�Relating�to�the�EIS��Several commenters during the first round of scoping felt that the scoping period needed to be extended to include more scoping meetings in areas that would also be interested in the project. Also, several commenters suggested that a more aggressive advertising campaign was needed for the meetings. In response to these comments, the scoping period was extended to March 20, 2013 and the scoping presentation was given at four additional meeting locations and at two district grazing meetings (discussed above). The four scoping meetings were publicized in various media outlets, including radio, newspaper, and flyers.
� One commenter was interested in when the integrated weed management plan will take effect.
4.14 Non�EIS�Scoping�Comments��NEPA regulations state that all significant issues relative to the proposed project should be addressed in the EIS. The comments and issues discussed above will be addressed in the EIS. However, comments that were beyond the scope of NEPA and CEQA, outside of the proposed project, value-type comments, or not related to the plan or EIS do not need to be addressed in the EIS. Therefore, these comments were not provided in this report.

ADDRESSES: You may mail, email or hand carry comments to Renee Benally, Natural Resource Specialist, Bureau of Indian Affairs, Western Navajo Agency, Branch of Natural Resources, PO Box 127, Tuba City, Arizona 86045; telephone: (928)283–2210; email: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BIA is proposing to develop a ten-year integrated weed management plan for the Navajo Indian Reservation. The Navajo Indian Reservation lands are infested with noxious and/or invasive weeds that have social and economic impacts on the Navajo Nation. The BIA, in partnership with cooperating agencies, intends to develop an integrated weed management plan to prevent, control, reduce, and eliminate the detrimental impacts of weed infestations throughout the reservation. The proposed action would authorize new treatments of noxious and invasive weed infestations throughout the Navajo Indian Reservation. The number of infestations and amount of acreage treated will be determined by the annual funding allocations for project implementation. The various methods of noxious/invasive weed control that will be considered during development of alternatives for the integrated weed management plan include, but will not be limited to, mechanical, cultural, biological and herbicidal treatments, and other methods that may be identified during the public scoping process.
The purpose of the public scoping process is to determine relevant issues that will influence the scope of the environmental analysis, including alternatives, and guide the process for developing the EIS. At present, the BIA has identified the following preliminary issues: Surface and ground water quality; environmental justice considerations; cultural and historic
resources; biological resources; public health; and socioeconomics.
The BIA will use and coordinate the NEPA commenting process to satisfy the public involvement process for Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (16 U.S.C. 470f) as provided for in 36 CFR 800.2(d)(3). Native American tribal consultations will be conducted in accordance with the Department of the Interior’s consultation policy, and tribal concerns will be given due consideration, including impacts on Indian trust assets. Federal, State, and local agencies, along with other stakeholders that may be interested in or affected by the BIA’s decision on this project are invited to participate in the scoping process and, if eligible, may request or be requested by the BIA to participate as a cooperating agency.
Directions for Submitting Public Comments: Please include your name, return address and the caption ‘‘Navajo Nation Integrated Weed Management Plan EIS Comments’’ at the head of your letter or in the subject line of your email message.
Availability of Comments: Comments, including names and addresses of respondents, will be available for public review at the BIA address shown in the ADDRESSES section of this notice during regular business hours, Monday through Friday, except holidays. Before including your address, phone number, email address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment—including your personal identifying information—may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.
Authority: This notice is published in accordance with sections 1503.1 and 1506.6 of the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations (40 CFR parts 1500 through 1508) implementing the procedural requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), and the Department of the Interior National Environmental Policy Act Implementation Policy (43 CFR part 46), and is in the exercise of authority delegated to the Assistant Secretary- Indian Affairs by 209 DM 8.
