SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  The administrative procedures at 36 CFR 218

project, by title or subject matter; the name and title of the official 
making the decision; how to obtain additional information; and where 
and how to file comments or objections. The date the notice is 
published will be used to establish the official date for the beginning 
of the comment or objection period. Where more than one newspaper is 
listed for any unit, the first newspaper listed is the primary 
newspaper of record, the publication date of which shall be used for 
calculating the time period to file comment or an objection.
