ACTION: Notice of termination of the
Environmental Impact Statement for the
General Management Plan, Amistad
National Recreation Area.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The National Park Service
(NPS) is terminating preparation of an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for the General Management Plan,
Amistad National Recreation Area,
Texas. A Notice of Intent to prepare the
EIS for the Amistad National Recreation
Area General Management Plan was
published in Vol. 68, No. 11, of the
January 16, 2003, Federal Register
(2351). The National Park Service has
since determined that an Environmental
Assessment (EA) rather than an EIS is
the appropriate environmental
documentation for the general
management plan.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
general management plan will establish
the overall direction for the national
recreation area, setting broad
management goals for managing the area
over the next 15 to 20 years. The plan
was originally scoped as an EIS.
However, few public comments were
received in the scoping process.
Although several concerns were
expressed during the public scoping
process, particularly on the future of
recreational opportunities in the
recreation area, no issues were
identified for the general management
plan that have the potential for
controversial impacts.
In the general management planning
process the NPS planning team
developed two alternatives for the
national recreation area, neither of
which would result in substantial
changes in the operation and
management of the area. The action
alternative primarily focuses on
maintaining and protecting resources,
developing new visitor, administration,
and law enforcement facilities, and
addressing park maintenance/operations
needs. The preliminary impact analysis
of the alternatives revealed no major
(significant) effects on the human
environment or impairment of park
resources and values. Most of the
impacts to the recreation area’s
resources and values were negligible to
minor in magnitude.

Frm 00033
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
For these reasons the NPS determined
the appropriate National Environmental
Policy Act documentation for the
general management plan is an EA.
DATES: The draft general management
plan/EA is expected to be distributed for
a 30 day public comment period in the
spring/summer of 2006 and a decision
is expected be made in the fall of 2006.
The NPS will notify the public by mail,
Web site, and other means, and will
include information on where and how
to obtain a copy of the EA, how to
comment on the EA, and the length of
the public comment period.
