The document describes ways that the NPS may assist in preserving the Fort King site by outlining four management alternatives for consideration by Congress, including a no-action alternative. The FEIS analyzes the environmental impacts of those alternatives considered for the future protection, interpretation, and management of the site’s cultural resources. The 37-acre study area is located in the city of Ocala, Marion County, Florida. DATES: There will be a 30-day waiting period beginning with the Environmental Protection Agency’s publication of its Notice of Availability in the Federal Register. ADDRESSES: Copies of the FEIS are available by contacting Tim Bemisderfer, Planning and Compliance Division, Southeast Region, National Part Service, 100 Alabama Street, SW., 1924 Building, Atlanta, Georgia 30303. An electronic copy of the FEIS is available on the internet at https:// parkplanning.nps.gov. Tim Bemisderfer, 404–562–3124, extension 693. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The official comment period for the Fort King Special Resources Study and Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) began on November 30, 2005, and ended on January 30, 2006. The public was actively engaged in reviewing the draft document with over 250 copies of the DEIS distributed to stakeholders throughout Florida and beyond. Two well attended public meetings were held in Ocala, Florida on January 18, 2006. Public comment on the DEIS did not result in substantive changes to the alternatives in the FEIS. Alternative A is the no-action alternative. For the purposes of this study, it is assumed that the Fort King site would continue to be owned and managed cooperatively by the city of Ocala, Marion County, and the Ocala Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. The site would remain predominantly undeveloped, public access would be restricted, and the site’s archeological resources would be protected and preserved in an undistributed condition. Under Alternative B, the site’s archeological resources would be preserved and interpreted in-situ. Alternative B takes a conservative SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00064 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 approach to site development that favors a simple and low cost implementation strategy. Under Alternative C, existing site infrastructure would be used as a base to quickly and efficiently provide public access and interpretive services. Alternative C favors a development strategy that builds upon a modest initial investment that can be expanded over time as additional funding and resources are secured. Under Alternative D, Fort King would highlight the site’s strong association with nationally significant historical events and interpretive themes. Alternative D takes an ambitious approach to site development. Its larger initial investment in cultural landscape rehabilitation and visitor service infrastructure is intended to quickly establish the name recognition and credibility necessary to attract higher profile partners and compete for private and public financing. Authority: The authority for publishing this notice is 40 CFR 1506.6. The responsible official for the FEIS is Patricia A. Hooks, Regional Director, Southeast Region, National Park Service, 100 Alabama Street, SW., 1924 Building, Atlanta, Georgia 30303. Dated: May 15, 2006. Patricia A.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, the National Park Service (NPS) announces the availability of the Record of Decision for the final General Management Plan and Environmental Impact Statement (GMP/EIS) for the Fallen Timbers Battlefield and Fort Miamis National Historic Site. The Midwest Regional Director approved the Record of Decision for this final GMP/ EIS on May 17, 2006. The purpose of the GMP is to set forth the basic sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES AGENCY: VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:28 Jul 18, 2006 Jkt 208001 management philosophy for the park and to provide strategies for addressing issues and achieving identified management objectives. The final GMP/ EIS described and analyzed the environmental impacts of four alternatives for the future management direction of the park. The Fallen Timbers Battlefield and Fort Miamis National Historic Site is an affiliated area of the National Park System, managed by the Metropolitan Park District of the Toledo Area. The park consists of three units, the Fallen Timbers Battlefield, the Fallen Timbers State Monument, and Fort Miamis. The park commemorates an important period in the development of the United States and the opening of the northwest frontier. It represents the culminating event that demonstrated the tenacity of the American people in their quest for western expansion and the struggle for dominance in the Old Northwest Territory. The preferred alternative in the final GMP/EIS was selected for implementation. Under this action, Toledo Metroparks will work with the NPS and other partners to protect cultural resources and interpret historic events. Various types of interpretive programs will be developed to encourage visitors to learn about the importance of the park units and the historic events. Most interpretation will take place at the edges of historic resources in order to ensure their preservation. A new visitor center will be built with local funding near the battlefield, and interpretive programs will cover all three units and the American Indian, British, and American perspectives of the time period. Links will be established between the units. Partnerships will be pursued with a wide variety of agencies and organizations to protect view sheds outside the park and to share programming, information, and materials. The selected action best protects and preserves Fallen Timbers and Fort Miamis National Historic Site’s cultural resources while also providing for visitor understanding and appreciation of the site’s historic significance. The preferred alternative will not result in impairment of resources and values. The Record of Decision includes a statement of the decision made, synopses of other alternatives considered, the basis for the decision, the rationale for why the selected action is the environmentally preferred alternative, a finding of no impairment of park resources and values, and an overview of public involvement in the decisionmaking process.
