National Environmental Policy Act of
1969 (P.L. 91–190 as amended), and as
authorized by Pub. L. 108–042, the
National Park Service, Department of
the Interior, has initiated public scoping
for a study of the San Gabriel River
surrounding watershed and San Gabriel
Mountains so as to evaluate significance
of the area’s resources and assess the
possible suitability and feasibility of the
area to be considered for inclusion in
the National Park System. Originally the
public scoping period was set to
conclude on April 19, 2005 (per Federal
Register notice dated January 19, 2005).

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Notice of Availability for a Final
Environmental Impact Statement
(FEIS) for the Feasibility Study on the
Preservation of Civil War Battlefields
and Related Historic Sites Along the
Vicksburg Campaign Trail (VCT) in
Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Mississippi, and Tennessee
SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 102(2) of
the National Environmental Policy Act
of 1969 and National Park Service (NPS)
policy in Director’s Order Number 12
(Conservation Planning, Environmental
Impact Analysis, and Decision-making),
the NPS announces the availability of a
PO 00000
Frm 00078
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
FEIS for the Feasibility Study on the
Preservation of Civil War Battlefields
and Related Historic Sites along the
VCT in Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Mississippi, and Tennessee. The
Feasibility Study examines almost 500
sites with a view to how they might best
be preserved and linked.
ADDRESSES: Limited numbers of copies
of the FEIS/Feasibility Study are
available from Harlan Unrau, National
Park Service, Denver Service Center—
Planning, P.O. Box 25287, 12795 West
Alameda Parkway, Denver, CO 80225–
0287, or by calling (303)–969–2254. An
electronic copy of the FEIS/Feasibility
Study is available on the Internet at
https://www.nps.gov/vick.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Feasibility Study identified
approximately 500 sites in five states
that were associated with the Vicksburg
Campaign. The study then evaluated
and rated each site according to criteria
established by the Civil War Sites
Advisory Commission Report on the
Nation’s Civil War Battlefields (1993);
sites were rated as Tier One (Decisive/
Major), Tier Two (Formative), and Tier
Three (Limited). As of May 2003, 19
Tier One, 26 Tier Two, 131 Tier Three,
and 315 associated sites had been
identified, for a total of 491 sites
included in the VCT Feasibility Study.
The FEIS describes and analyzes the
environmental impacts of three
alternatives, including a no action
alternative, for the future management
direction of the VCT Initiative. NPS
Preferred Alternative is Alternative C—
Comprehensive Preservation. The intent
of the proposed action is to link all sites
associated with the VCT in a formally
designated VCT Initiative. Legislation
would be needed to establish the VCT
Initiative, modeled after the legislation
establishing the Underground Railroad
Network to Freedom program.
Emphasis would be placed on
protection of all sites associated with
the VCT that have been recognized as
being nationally significant, i.e., the Tier
One Sites, through acquisition in fee or
easement by Federal, State, or local
agencies, and private organizations. It
also anticipates that three of the sites
(Champion Hill, Port Gibson, and Fort
Heiman) encompassing approximately
2,000 acres could be added to the
National Park System as boundary
adjustments at existing units if
authorized by Congress. In other cases
the NPS could assist other managing
authorities in the protection and
preservation of other Tier One sites (e.g.,
Fort Pillow).
Protection of the Tier One sites would
be part of a comprehensive effort that
