DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
National Park Service
Notice of Availability of a Record of
Decision for the Fort King Special
Resource Study
SUMMARY: Congress, in the Interior
Appropriations Act of 2000, authorized
the Fort King Special Resource Study
and Final Environmental Impact
Statement (‘‘Study’’). The legislation
directed the National Park Service (NPS)
to determine whether Fort King is
nationally significant and, if so, whether
it is suitable and feasible as a new unit
of the National Park System.
Acknowledging the site’s National
Historic Landmark (NHL) status, the
Study determined that Fort King is
nationally significant. In addition, the
Study determined that Fort King is
suitable and feasible for inclusion in the
National Park System because its
interpretive themes are
underrepresented in the current system
and the property is of sufficient size and
shape to protect resources and
accommodate public use. The study
does not, however, propose an active
NPS management role at the site.
Rather, existing programs such as Save
America’s Treasures and Preserve
America are used to exemplify the types
of NPS assistance available to future
non-Federal managers of the Fort King
property.
The Final Study was distributed for
public review in August 2006. The NPS
has prepared a Record of Decision
(ROD) on the Study to document the
decision made, the background of the
project, other alternatives considered,
the basis for the decision, the
environmentally preferable alternative,
and the public involvement in the
decision-making process.
