    The Wallowa-Whitman National Forest has decided to withdraw its plan to prepare an environmental impact statement for the Travel Management Project. This decision was made to prioritize the forest's resources and focus on updating their forest plan instead. The announcement originally appeared in the Federal Register in 2007, with further details released in 2009. If someone has questions about this change, they can contact the Forest Supervisor, Shaun McKinney, via email or phone.

According to Section 309(a) of the Clean Air Act, the EPA is required to make public its comments on EISs issued by other federal agencies. The notice includes information on a new draft EIS for the North Alabama Utility-Scale Solar Facility, with comments open until March 15, 2021. Additionally, two previously published notices have been officially withdrawn, including a draft by the U.S. Forest Service related to locatable minerals and a final statement by the Bureau of Land Management concerning a solar project in California.
