Following publication of the FEIS, the FWP and DNRC agency decision-makers will review public 

 comments, the FEIS, and information contained in the project file. No sooner than 1 5 days after 

 publication of the FEIS, the decision-makers will consider and determine the following: 



• Do the alternatives presented in the FEIS meet the project objectives? 



• Which alternative or combination/modification of alternatives should be implemented, and why? 



These determinations will be published and all interested parties will be notified. The joint decision 

 presented in the published document would become FWP's and DNRC's recommendation to the 

 Montana Board of Land Commissioners and the Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks Commission. 

 Ultimately, the Land Board and Commission would make the final decision regarding the actions to be 

 implemented, and the approval of funds needed to complete them.
