**SUMMARY:**

This notice lists the newspapers that will be used by all Ranger Districts, Scenic Areas, Grasslands, Forests, and the Regional Office of the Pacific Northwest Region for giving legal notice for the opportunity to object to a proposed authorized hazardous fuel reduction project under 36 CFR 218. The intended effect of this action is to inform interested members of the public which newspapers will be used to publish legal notices for proposed authorized hazardous fuel reduction projects; thereby notifying the public of objection opportunities, providing clear evidence of timely notice, and achieving consistency in administering the predecisional objection process. Note: The newspapers listed are the same newspapers used for publication of legal notice for public comment under the provision of 36 CFR 215, and appeal of decisions under 36 CFR 215 and 36 CFR 217.

**DATES:**

Publication of legal notices in the listed newspapers will begin with legal notices published on or after March 11, 2004. The list of newspapers will remain in effect until another notice is published in the *Federal Register* .
