National Park Service
Notice of Assessment of Suitability
and Non-Suitability for Further Study
of Lands Within the Mineral King
Addition, the Chimney Rock (AKA
Jennie Lakes) Addition, and the
Dillonwood Addition of Sequoia and
Kings Canyon National Parks for
Consideration as Wilderness Areas
SUMMARY: Pursuant to the California
Wilderness Act of 1984, and in
accordance with National Park Service
(NPS) Management Policies 2006
section 6.2.1, the NPS has completed a
Wilderness Suitability Assessment
(assessment) to determine if the Mineral
King, Chimney Rock (AKA Jennie
Lakes), and Dillonwood additions to
Sequoia and Kings Canyon National
Parks meet criteria indicating suitability
for preservation as wilderness. The
assessment divided the Mineral King
addition into two segments, the
‘‘backcountry’’ or undeveloped/
unroaded segment, and the ‘‘developed’’
segment, which includes the Mineral
King Road and its associated
developments. Each of these two
segments was separated evaluated for
wilderness suitability.
The assessment found that the
‘‘backcountry’’ segment of the Mineral
King Addition, and the Chimney Rock
Addition: (1) Are predominantly
roadless and undeveloped; (2) are
greater than 5000 acres in size or of
sufficient size as to make practicable
their preservation and use in an
unimpaired condition; and (3) meet the
five wilderness character criteria listed
in the 2006 NPS Management Policies.
The assessment also found that the
‘‘developed’’ segment of the Mineral
King Addition, and the Dillonwood
Addition: (1) Are not predominantly
roadless and undeveloped; (2) are not
greater than 5000 acres in size or of
sufficient size as to make practicable
their preservation and use in an
unimpaired condition; and (3) do not
meet the five wilderness character
criteria listed in the 2006 NPS
Management Policies.
Based on the findings of this
Assessment, the NPS has concluded that
the ‘‘backcountry’’ segment of the
Mineral King Addition and the Chimney
PO 00000
Frm 00079
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

Rock Addition meet the criteria
necessary for wilderness designation
and therefore warrant further study for
inclusion in wilderness.
The NPS has also concluded that
based on the findings of this
Assessment, the ‘‘developed’’ segment
of the Mineral King Addition and the
Dillonwood Addition do not meet the
criteria necessary for wilderness
designation and therefore do not
warrant further study for inclusion in
wilderness. A transition zone between
the Suitable (non-developed) and NonSuitable (developed) segments in the
Mineral King Addition, to allow for
existing non-wilderness uses, is
appropriate to consider in boundary
delineation during the wilderness study
process.
ADDRESSES: A copy of the Wilderness
Suitability Assessment can be obtained
by writing to: Superintendent,
Attention: Wilderness Suitability
Assessment, Sequoia and Kings Canyon
National Parks 47050 Generals
Highway, Three Rivers, CA 93271.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Requests for further information on the
Wilderness Suitability Assessment
should be directed to: Wilderness
Coordinator, Sequoia and Kings Canyon
National Parks, 47050 Generals
Highway, Three Rivers, CA 93271.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: These
actions are in accordance with long
standing policy and law. The
Wilderness Act of 1964 and NPS
Management Policies (2006; Chapter 6,
Wilderness Preservation) require that
the National Park Service review
roadless and undeveloped areas,
including new areas or expanded
boundaries within the National Park
system to determine whether they are
suitable or not suitable for preserving as
wilderness.
The assessment standards outlined in
the 2006 NPS Management Policies to
determine if a roadless, undeveloped
area is suitable for preservation as
wilderness are that it is over 5000 acres
in size or of sufficient size to make
practicable its preservation and use in
an unimpaired condition, and meets
five wilderness character criteria: (1)
The earth and its community of life are
untrammeled by humans, where
humans are visitors and do not remain;
(2) the area is undeveloped and retains
its primeval character and influence,
without permanent improvements or
human habitation; (3) the area generally
appears to have been affected primarily
by the forces of nature, with the imprint
of humans’ work substantially
unnoticeable; (4) the area is protected
and managed so as to preserve its

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 49 / Wednesday, March 14, 2007 / Notices
natural condition; and (5) the area offers
outstanding opportunities for solitude
or a primitive and unconfined type of
recreation.
As part of the Wilderness Suitability
Assessment, the parks solicited public
input on the suitability of the subject
area for designation as Wilderness: a
press release was sent out on August 12,
2002 informing the public of the process
with a description of the parcels, the
criteria that need to be meet to merit
inclusion, and an intitial September 27,
2002 closing date; in concert with the
distribution of the press release, some
3,200 copies of the release were mailed
to interested individuals and groups on
the park’s General Management Plan
mailing list. The public comment period
was then extended to October 18, 2002.

Based on the findings of this Assessment, the NPS has concluded
that the ``backcountry'' segment of the Mineral King Addition and the
