FISH AND BOAT COMMISSION

Consideration of Change to Wilderness Trout Stream Designation

[30 Pa.B. 6663]

   At the next meeting of the Fish and Boat Commission (Commission) on January 12 and 13, 2001, the Commission will consider extending the wilderness trout stream designation of East Hickory Creek in Warren County. Currently, a 5.6-mile section of East Hickory Creek from the headwaters downstream to the confluence with Middle Hickory Creek is managed for wild trout pursuant to 58 Pa. Code § 57.4 (relating to wilderness trout streams). This section of stream is located within the boundaries of the Allegheny National Forest and is part of the Hickory Creek Wilderness Area. At present, the lower boundary of the Hickory Creek Wilderness Area is the Allegheny National Forest Road 119 Bridge, which is located 1.6 miles downstream of the confluence with Middle Hickory Creek. In the interest of providing a common boundary for wilderness management programs, the United States Forest Service has requested that the Commission extend the length of its wilderness trout stream designation on this water. Therefore, the Commission will consider extending the wilderness trout stream designation on East Hickory Creek downstream for a distance of 1.6 miles to the Allegheny National Forest Road 119 Bridge. The revised limits will extend from the headwaters downstream to the Allegheny National Forest Road 119 Bridge, for a distance of 7.2 miles. This change, if approved by the Commission, will go into effect upon publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.

   At this time, the Commission is soliciting public input concerning the designation. Persons with comments, objections or suggestions concerning the designation are invited to submit comments in writing to Executive Director, Fish and Boat Commission, P. O. Box 67000, Harrisburg, PA 17106-7000 by no later than 4 p.m. on January 11, 2001. Comments submitted by facsimile will not be accepted.

   Comments also may be submitted electronically at ''ra-pfbcregs@state.pa.us.'' A subject heading of the proposal and a return name and address must be included in each transmission. In addition, all electronic comments must be contained in the text of the transmission, not in an attachment. If an acknowledgment of electronic comments is not received by the sender within 2 working days, the comments should be retransmitted to ensure receipt.
