Notice of intent. AGENCY: ACTION: The National Park Service (NPS) is preparing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Visitor Use Management Plan for Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area (DEWA), in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. This effort will examine current and potential visitor opportunities and will develop longterm strategies for protecting resources while providing access, connecting visitors to key visitor experiences, and managing use. The planning process will also involve evaluating the zones in the 1987 General Management Plan (GMP), and may include updating the zoning scheme as needed through a GMP amendment. This notice initiates the public participation and scoping process for the EIS. The public is invited to comment on the purpose, need, objectives, preliminary management options, or any other issues associated with the proposal. DATES: The public scoping period will commence on the date this notice is published in the Federal Register and last for at least 30 days. The NPS will hold public meetings near the park and surrounding region to provide the public an opportunity to review the proposal and project information. The place and time of public scoping meetings will be announced by the NPS in local newspapers serving the area. Scoping and other periodic public meeting notices and information regarding the visitor use management plan will also be placed on the PEPC Web site at https:// parkplanning.nps.gov/dewa for continuing public review and comment. ADDRESSES: A scoping brochure and other materials describing the overall purpose, issues, and possible management strategies may be obtained from the PEPC Web site: https:// tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:33 Jul 28, 2015 Jkt 235001 parkplanning.nps.gov/dewa, from the national recreation area’s Information Desk at Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, Headquarters, 1978 River Road, Bushkill, PA 18324; or via telephone at (570) 426–2452.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In recent years, areas within Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area have experienced changes in the amounts and patterns of use by visitors and local residents. This use is affecting park natural and cultural resources in ways unanticipated since the finalization of the park’s General Management Plan in 1987. As a result, and pursuant to Section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, the NPS is beginning a comprehensive planning and environmental impact statement process to determine how best to protect park resources and values while providing appropriate opportunities for visitor use, experience, and enjoyment of the recreation area. Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area encompasses a portion of a national scenic trail and a wild and scenic river. Several statutes, including the National Parks and Recreation Act, Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, and National Trails System Act, expressly require federal agencies to address visitor capacity. Therefore, the comprehensive understanding of visitor use throughout the park would also assist in setting visitor capacities for the river and feed into future planning. This Plan will: (1) Be grounded in the recreation area’s purpose, significance, and fundamental and other important resources and values; (2) clearly define the necessary conditions for park visitors to understand, enjoy, and appreciate these PO 00000 Frm 00051 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 45231 resources and values; (3) identify the desired conditions for visitor experiences linked to these resources and values; (4) establish indicators, standards, and management strategies for maintaining these desired conditions; and (5) establish visitor capacities where needed. A range of management strategies, including the potential rezoning of some park areas, will be developed to address long term management of visitor use and protection of natural and cultural resources in the national recreation area. These will be presented for public comment during public scoping to help develop alternatives, including a ‘‘noaction alternative,’’ for the Plan. The Plan will also explore management approaches that can be adapted to changing conditions, identifying indicators and thresholds, develop monitoring systems to assure the protection of resources, and continue to provide a quality visitor experience. Before including your address, phone number, email address, or other personal identifying information in any comment, you should be aware that your entire comment—including your personal identifying information—may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. Dated: June 1, 2015. Michael A.

Notice of Termination of the Environmental Impact Statement for 
the General Management Plan for Martin Van Buren National Historic 
Site, New York

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of termination.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The National Park Service (NPS) is preparing a general 
management plan (GMP) for Martin Van Buren National Historic Site. A 
Notice of Intent to prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) for 
the GMP was published in the Federal Register on December 11, 2007. The 
NPS has decided to terminate the EIS and

[[Page 45232]]

instead, has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the GMP 
(GMP/EA).

DATES: The GMP/EA is expected to be distributed for public review and 
comment during the summer of 2015. The NPS will provide information on 
when the GMP/EA will be released for public review, the dates of the 
public comment period, and the dates that public meetings will be held 
on the park's planning Web site at https://parkplanning.nps.gov/mava and 
through local and regional media.

ADDRESSES: Refer to the park's planning Web site at https://parkplanning.nps.gov/mava for additional information on where and how 
to obtain a copy of the GMP/EA, how to comment on the GMP/EA, and 
locations of upcoming public meetings.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jim O'Connell, Project Manager; NPS/
Northeast Region; 15 State Street; Boston, MA 02019 or Sarah Olson, 
Superintendent; Martin Van Buren NHS; 1013 Old Post Road; Kinderhook, 
NY 12106.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The GMP for Martin Van Buren National 
Historic Site will provide long-term guidance for resource management, 
visitor services, and interpretive programming. The three GMP 
alternatives evaluated in the GMP/EA focus on management of lands added 
to the park in 2009, maintaining and protecting resources, visitor use, 
facilities, access, interpretation, and NPS operations in the park as a 
whole. GMP planning and alternatives development incorporated input 
from park partners and cooperators; participants in local community 
meetings; consultation with local, regional, and national government 
agencies; and comments gathered at a 2009 public scoping session. The 
public was informed about the process and invited to participate 
through newsletters, emails, letters, and response cards.
    The GMP was originally scoped as an EIS; however, internal 
discussions and input received during public and agency scoping did not 
raise any potentially significant environmental issues nor has the 
impact analysis identified any potentially significant adverse impacts. 
It is also noted that many of the actions proposed in the GMP/EA will 
have benefits to the park's resources, operational needs, and visitor 
experiences. For these reasons the NPS determined that an EA is the 
appropriate level of environmental review for the GMP.

     Dated: June 18, 2015.
