Major issues, concerns and opportunities identified though the public involvement process conducted during the environmental analysis of the FPEIS were; the potential threat of spruce budworm to the State's economy; need to initiate a long term management program to replace the past short term approach; concern that long term IPM program might not be significantly different from the past approach; the need for continued reliance on insecticide as a major part of any IPM program' concern that long term undetected adverse effects of spruce budworms on small non-industrial lands; and the extent to which the general public may benefit from possible Federal financial assistance for spruce budworm management.
