The agency invites comments and suggestions on the scope of the analysis, including issues to be addressed during the analysis. A scoping meeting will be held to gather comments from the public on the proposed action. The meeting will be Thursday, February 3, 7 p.m. at the Council Ranger District office conference room in Council, Idaho.
