SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Cruise ship use in Glacier Bay is currently 
limited to no more than two ships per day and a further seasonal quota 
of 139 total visits during June, July, and August of each year. The

the director's approval, the number of cruise ship entries for the 
following summer season (June 1 through august 31). this determination 
will be based upon available scientific and other information and 
applicable authorities. The number will be subject to the maximum daily 
limit of two vessel use-days. The superintendent will publish a 
document of any revision in seasonal entries in the Federal Register 
with opportunity for public comment.''
    This proposal is the result of the VQOR EIS public planning 
process. In making the proposal the Superintendent considered reviews 
of the best available scientific information collected both by the 
National Park Service and by scientists independent of the agency, 
which were incorporated in the report and recommendations from the 
Glacier Bay National Park Science Advisory Board, and an assessment of 
that report provided by the NPS Alaska Regional Science Advisor.
    Following a review of public comments submitted in response to this 
notice, the Superintendent will submit the final decision for 
submission to the Director of the National Park Service for approval. 
If an increase is approved it will be announced in the Federal 
Register.
