park resources is paramount. Stronger
educational and outreach programs
provide enjoyment and introduce park
conservation values. The basic character
of park activities and the rustic
architecture of facilities are retained so
that the parks remain strikingly different
from surrounding areas. Park
administrative facilities are redesigned
and may be relocated outside the parks.
Park facilities accommodate sustainable
growth. Stock use continues with
appropriate management and
monitoring.
Alternative A: Emphasize Natural
Ecosystems and Biodiversity; Reduce
Use and Development: The parks are
natural resource preserves; they are
primarily valued because they contain
publicly owned resources that will be
conserved for the future. Levels of use
are lower than at present, and visitor
experiences are more directly connected
to natural resources and provide more
solitude. The parks contrast strongly
with surrounding lands which are
continuing to develop. Park managers
aggressively cooperate with the
managers of surrounding lands to
enhance range-wide biodiversity.
Alternative C: Preserve Traditional
Character and Retain the Feel of
Yesteryear; Guide Growth: The parks
present a traditional character and the
feeling of yesteryear, where experiences
are more reminiscent of how visitors
used the parks in the past. This is
conveyed through rustic architecture
and lower impact recreational activities
(such as sightseeing and hiking) that
were popular from the 1920s to the
1960s, providing an experience that is
strikingly different from that in an urban
setting. Redesigned developed areas
accommodate limited growth; overnight
stays are encouraged. Negative impacts
on natural resources are controlled, so
as to maintain or improve resource
conditions.
Alternative D: Preserve Basic
Character and Adapt to Changing User
Groups; Guide Growth: The parks
preserve some of their traditional
character and rustic architecture, but
diverse new user groups and uses are
encouraged. Day use is more common.
Facilities are expanded to meet users’
needs, while frequent interpretive
programs are offered to educate,
entertain, and instill a sense of park
conservation values. Negative impacts
on natural resources are controlled or
mitigated, so as to maintain or improve
resource conditions.
Addresses and Further Information:
Copies of the Final EIS will be available
for public review in the office of the
Superintendent and at local area public
libraries, and may also be requested (by
VerDate Aug<31>2005

those not presently on the mailing list)
by contacting the park by letter at: Final
EIS/GMP, Sequoia and Kings Canyon
National Parks, 47050 Generals
Highway, Three Rivers, CA 93271–9651;
by telephone at (559) 565–3101; or by email at seki_superintendent@nps.gov.
Please note that names and addresses of
all respondents will become part of the
public record. Our practice is to make
all comments, including names, home
addresses, home phone numbers, and email addresses of respondents, available
for public review. Individual
respondents may request that we
withhold their names and/or home
addresses, etc., but if you wish us to
consider withholding this information
you must state this prominently at the
beginning of your comments. In
addition, you must present a rationale
for withholding this information. This
rationale must demonstrate that
disclosure would constitute a clearly
unwarranted invasion of privacy.
Unsupported assertions will not meet
this burden. In the absence of
exceptional, documentable
circumstances, this information will be
released. We will always make
submissions from organizations or
businesses, and from individuals
identifying themselves as
representatives of or officials of
organizations or businesses, available
for public inspection in their entirety.
Decision: The National Park Service
will execute a Record of Decision not
sooner than 30 days following
publication by the Environmental
Protection Agency of their notice of
filing of the Final EIS in the Federal
Register. As a delegated EIS the official
responsible for the final approval of the
General Management Plan and
Comprehensive River Management Plan
is the Regional Director; subsequently
the official responsible for
implementing the new plans would be
the Superintendent, Sequoia and Kings
Canyon National Parks.

with section 9(f) of the Reclamation Project Act of 1939. Additional
announcements of individual contract actions may be published in the
Federal Register and in newspapers of general circulation in the areas
determined by Reclamation to be affected by the proposed action.
ADDRESSES: The identity of the approving officer and other information
pertaining to a specific contract proposal may be obtained by calling
or writing the appropriate regional office at the address and telephone
number given for each region in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sandra L. Simons, Manager, Contract
Services Office, Bureau of Reclamation, PO Box 25007, Denver, Colorado
80225-0007; telephone 303-445-2902.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Consistent with section 9(f) of the
Reclamation Project Act of 1939 and the rules and regulations published
in 52 FR 11954, April 13, 1987 (43 CFR 426.22), Reclamation will
publish notice of proposed or amendatory contract actions for any
contract for the delivery of project water for authorized uses in
newspapers of general circulation in the affected area at least 60 days
prior to contract execution. Announcements may be in the form of news
releases, legal notices, official letters, memorandums, or other forms
of written material. Meetings, workshops, and/or hearings may also be
used, as appropriate, to provide local publicity. The public
participation procedures do not apply to proposed contracts for the
sale of surplus or interim irrigation water for a term of 1 year or
less. Either of the contracting parties may invite the public to
observe contract proceedings. All public participation procedures will
be coordinated with those involved in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act. Pursuant to the ``Final Revised Public
Participation Procedures'' for water resource-related contract
negotiations, published in 47 FR 7763, February 22, 1982, a tabulation
is provided of all proposed contractual actions in each of the five
Reclamation
[[Page 67160]]
regions. When contract negotiations are completed, and prior to
execution, each proposed contract form must be approved by the
Secretary of the Interior, or pursuant to delegated or redelegated
authority, the Commissioner of Reclamation or one of the regional
directors. In some instances, congressional review and approval of a
report, water rate, or other terms and conditions of the contract may
be involved.
Public participation in and receipt of comments on contract
proposals will be facilitated by adherence to the following procedures:
1. Only persons authorized to act on behalf of the contracting
entities may negotiate the terms and conditions of a specific contract
proposal.
2. Advance notice of meetings or hearings will be furnished to
those parties that have made a timely written request for such notice
to the appropriate regional or project office of Reclamation.
3. Written correspondence regarding proposed contracts may be made
available to the general public pursuant to the terms and procedures of
the Freedom of Information Act, as amended.
4. Written comments on a proposed contract or contract action must
be submitted to the appropriate regional officials at the locations and
within the time limits set forth in the advance public notices.
5. All written comments received and testimony presented at any
public hearings will be reviewed and summarized by the appropriate
regional office for use by the contract approving authority.
6. Copies of specific proposed contracts may be obtained from the
appropriate regional director or his designated public contact as they
become available for review and comment.
7. In the event modifications are made in the form of a proposed
contract, the appropriate regional director shall determine whether
republication of the notice and/or extension of the comment period is
necessary.
Factors considered in making such a determination shall include,
but are not limited to (i) The significance of the modification, and
(ii) the degree of public interest which has been expressed over the
course of the negotiations. At a minimum, the regional director shall
furnish revised contracts to all parties who requested the contract in
response to the initial public notice.
The February 23, 2006, notice should be used as a reference point
to identify changes. The numbering system in this notice corresponds
with the numbering system in the February 23, 2006, notice.
