CONSULTATION AND COORDINATION CHAPTER 4

SUMMARY OF SCOPING AND PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT TO 4.1DATE

The District encouraged extensive public involvement throughout the planning process

leading to this document. This project has been list on the Forest Schedule of Proposed

Actions (SOPA) since January 2006. In May 2014, the District initiated public scoping on the

Becker Integrated Resource Project. The Proposed Action was posted on the Forest web

site47

on the project web page, on May 1, 2014. The scoping package was mailed to 138

individuals, agencies, and/or groups on May 2, 2014. Additionally, a scoping email bulletin

was sent to 57 individuals on May 7, 2014, and a press release was printed in the Idaho

Statesman on May 7, 2014. Public meetings were held on May 20, 2014 in Idaho City and on

May 21, 2014 in Boise. A total of 23 parties responded to the May 2014 scoping effort. The

Project Record contains all comments received during the scoping period and the Forest

Service responses to the comments.

A Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an EIS was published in the Federal Register on August

8, 2014. The NOI described the Proposed Action and invited comments for 30-days

following publication. Public notification that the Forest will prepare an EIS for the project,

publication of the NOI, and request additional public comment was mailed to 68 individuals

and agencies, and/or groups and emailed to 93 individuals on August 11, 2014. A total of 64

parties responded to the NOI comment period. The Project Record contains all comments

received during this public involvement period and the Forest Service responses.

TRIBAL CONSULTATION 4.2

The federal government’s trust responsibility to federal recognized tribes compels agencies

to conduct their activities consistent with rights legally accruing to a tribe or tribes by virtue

of inherent rights and sovereign authority, unextinguished aboriginal title, treaty, statute,

judicial decisions, executive order or agreement, of which give rise to legally enforceable

remedies. In carrying out their trust responsibilities, the Forest Service must assess proposed

actions to determine potential impacts on treaty rights, treaty resources, or other

unextinguished tribal righ7ts and interests. Where potential impacts exist, the agencies must

consult with affected tribes and explicitly address those impacts in planning documents and

final decisions. Consultation with the tribes is essential in carrying out that trust

responsibility.

The intergovernmental consultation process serves as the primary means for the federal

agencies to carry out their trust obligations. Consultation is not a single event, but instead is a

process leading to a decision; for example, the Record of Decision for this EIS. Consultation

means different things to different tribes. It can be either a formal process of negotiation,

cooperation, and policy-level decision-making between tribal governments and the federal

government, or a more informal process. Tribal rights and interests are discussed and

considered or incorporated into the decision. Consultation can be viewed as an ongoing

relationship between an agency(ies) and a tribe(s), characterized by consensus-seeking

approaches to reach mutual understanding and resolve issues. It may concern issues and

actions that could affect the government’s trust responsibilities, or other tribal interests.

Consultation minimally serves five purposes:

to identify and clarify issues,

to provide for an exchange of existing information and identify where information is

needed,

to identify and serve as a process for conflict resolution,

to provide an opportunity to discuss and explain the decision, and

to fulfill the core of the federal trust obligation.

Legal requirements for federal agencies to consult with sovereign Indian tribes have their

basis in federal law, court interpretations, and executive orders.

Two federally recognized tribes have received notification about the Becker Integrated

Resource Project: Shoshone-Bannock Tribes and Shoshone Paiute Tribes. Shoshone-Paiute

tribal representatives were presented with the project proposal at Wings and Roots meetings

occurring on April 1, 2012, December 12, 2013, April 13, 2014, September 11, 2014, and

November 13, 2014. Tribal council of the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes were mailed and

emailed the project proposal on May 2, 2014. A letter was sent to the Shoshone-Bannock

Tribes on August 12, 2014 to notify the tribal council that that Forest will prepare an EIS for

the project, publication of the NOI in the Federal Register, and request comments. The tribal

notification and/or consultation processes described above did not result in the identification

of any potential impacts to treaty rights, treaty resources, or other unextinguished tribal rights

and interests. Some tribal representatives identified beneficial effects to resources as a result

of proposed restoration of vegetation, wildlife habitat, soil, and water resources consistent

with those identified during the 2010 Forest Plan amendment process.
