artifacts will support the interpretive
program. Onsite interpretation will be
provided at the House through guided
tours, with further information available
in programs in the ERC Theater and
during special programs. Most of the
ERC will be managed as a library zone,
where resources are maintained at a
high level of preservation. Visitor use
will be restricted to portions of two
floors. Implementing this alternative
will cost approximately $395,000 in
one-time upgrade and construction
expenses.
This course of action and three other
alternatives were analyzed in the draft
and final GMP/EIS. The full range of
foreseeable environmental
consequences was assessed and
appropriate mitigating measures were
identified.
The ROD includes a statement of the
decision made, synopses of other
alternatives considered, the basis for the
decision, a description of the
environmentally preferred alternative, a
finding on impairment of park resources
and values, a listing of measures to
minimize environmental harm, an
overview of public involvement in the
decision making process, and a
conclusion.

Notice of Availability of the Record of

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 102(2)(C)
of the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969, the National Park Service

Record of Decision (ROD) on the final
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for the General Management Plan

Memorial, Indiana. The Midwest
Regional Director approved the ROD for
this final GMP/EIS on June 20, 2006.
Specifically, the NPS has selected the
preferred alternative as described in the
GMP/EIS. Under the selected action, 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, but 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
possible, some elements of the cloister
could be returned to their original
design. The new addition or structure
would harmonize in size, scale,
proportion, and materials with the
extant structure and would not intrude
on the historic scene.
The selected action and two other
alternatives were analyzed in the draft
and final EIS. A full range of foreseeable
environmental consequences was
assessed.
Among the alternatives the NPS
considered, the selected action best
protects Lincoln Boyhood National
Memorial’s natural and cultural
resources, while also providing a range
of quality interpretive and educational
experiences. It also meets the NPS goals
for managing the memorial and meets
national environmental policy goals.
The preferred alternative will not result
in the impairment of resources and
values.
The ROD 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.

ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Acting Secretary of the
Interior has determined that Ashfall

National Natural Landmark. Ashfall
Fossil Beds meets the national
significance criteria for a National
Natural Landmark because it is the only
location on earth where large numbers
of fossil mammals have been found as
whole, three-dimensionally preserved
skeletons. A thick bed of volcanic ash
contains hundreds of complete
skeletons of extinct rhinos, camels,
three-toed horses and many other
vertebrates lying in their death poses in
an ancient waterhole. The animals were
killed and buried by ash from an
enormous volcanic eruption some 10
million years ago. This site is located
near Orchard in Antelope County and is
