  <title><![CDATA[  Proposed Rule To Exempt Organic Producers and Marketers From  Assessments for Market Promotion Activities Under]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2003-12-02-03-29958</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ This proposed rule would exempt any person producing and 
marketing solely 100 percent organic products from paying assessments 
for market promotion, including paid advertising, activities to 
marketing order programs administered by the Agricultural Marketing 
Service (AMS). AMS has identified 28 marketing order programs for which 
assessment exemptions may be established. The authority for this 
proposal is section 10607 of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act 
(2002 Farm Bill). The 2002 Farm Bill also covers 16 national research 
and promotion programs. The research and promotion programs will be 
addressed separately at a later date.

  <title><![CDATA[  Helena National Forest, Montana, Snow Talon Fire Salvage; Intent  To Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2003-12-02-03-29909</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ The USDA, Forest Service, will prepare an Environmental Impact 
Statement (EIS) for the Snow Talon Fire Salvage. The Snow Talon Fire 
Salvage EIS will disclose the environmental effects of a salvage 
harvest of trees burned in the Snow Talon Fire on the Lincoln Ranger 
District of the Helena National Forest. The 2003 Snow Talon Fire burned 
37,706 acres in the Copper Creek, Landers Fork, and Falls Creek 
drainages, approximately 10 miles northeast of Lincoln, Montana. The 
proposed action includes commercial harvest of approximately 20 to 25 
million board feet of trees over 2700 acres in the wildfire area, 
roadwork to meet Best Management Practices (BMP) standards, and 
rehabilitation of 105 acres of jammer trails. Harvest is not proposed 
within Inventoried Roadless Areas (IRAs), Riparian Habitat Conservation 
Areas (RHCAs), or Research Natural Areas (RNAs). An EIS will be 
prepared displaying alternatives and the anticipated effects of the 
above activities to the resources and human uses of the analysis<script type="text/javascript">
