The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, Wildlife Services has prepared a pre-decision Environmental Assessment (EA) entitled "Wildlife Services Gray Wolf Damage Management in Oregon." The EA evaluates a proposed action and alternatives to assist the State of Oregon, Department of Fish and Wildlife and Native American tribal governments with management of gray wolf (Canis lupus) conflicts throughout the state. The need for action is based on confirmed and chronic livestock depredation, and although less likely, the potential for wolves to threaten human safety. Wildlife Services is requesting public comments on the pre-decision EA.
