DATES: The draft EIS/GMP was on public review for 60 days beginning on June 17. Responses to substantive public comments are addressed in the final EIS/GMP. The NPS will execute a record of decision (ROD) no sooner than 30 days following publication of the Environmental Protection Agency’s notice of availability of the final EIS/ GMP in the Federal Register. ADDRESSES: Copies of the Final GMP/ EIS are available by request by writing to the Superintendent at Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial, P.O. Box 1816, Lincoln City, Indiana 47552–1816; by telephoning the park office at (812) 937–4541; or by e-mail at <randy_wester@nps.gov>. The document is also available to be picked up in person at the Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial (Memorial). In addition, the document can be found at the Memorial Web site (https:// www.nps.gov/libo/pphtml/ documents.html), and at the Planning, Environment, and Public Comment Web site (https://parkplanning.nps.gov/). FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Superintendent, Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial, P.O. Box 1816, Lincoln City, Indiana 47552–1816. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the preferred alternative, the NPS would emphasize a greater array of interpretive opportunities, with the focus on the history of the Lincoln family in southern Indiana, and on the natural and sociopolitical environment of the times. The Lincoln Living Historical Farm would retain its current character; however, the interpretive program would provide visitors with interpretive opportunities and demonstrations directly related to the Lincoln story and the way in which the family likely lived in Indiana. The Memorial building and court would remain largely unchanged, but new administrative offices would be added to the rear of the structure. Where AGENCY: E:\FR\FM\13DEN1.SGM 13DEN1
