Our practice is to make comments,
including names, home addresses, home
phone numbers, and e-mail 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.

General Management Plan, Rosie the
Riveter/World War II Home Front
National Historical Park, Contra Costa
County, CA; Notice of Termination of
the Environmental Impact Statement
SUMMARY: The National Park Service is
terminating preparation of an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for the General Management Plan, Rosie
the Riveter/World War II Home Front
National Historical Park, Richmond,
California. A Notice of Intent to prepare
the EIS for the General Management
Plan (GMP) was published in the
Federal Register on March 26, 2002.
The National Park Service has since
determined that an Environmental
Assessment (EA) rather than an EIS is
the appropriate environmental
documentation for the GMP; this
determination includes due
consideration of all public comment and
other agency information received
during the public scoping period.
Background: The Rosie the Riveter/
World War II Home Front National
Historical Park includes the Ford
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 211001
Assembly Building, the Richmond
Shipyard #3 (currently known as the
Port of Richmond, Terminals 5, 6 and
7), the Maritime and Ruth Powers Child
Development Centers, Atchison Village
housing, Kaiser Field Hospital, Fire
Station 67A, the Rosie the Riveter
Memorial, the S.S. Red Oak Victory, and
city parks referred to in the authorizing
legislation as Shimada Peace Memorial
Park, Westshore Park (now known as
Lucretia Edwards Park), Sheridan
Observation Point Park, Vincent Park,
and the Bay Trail-Esplanade. The
National Park Service (NPS) does not
own or manage these sites, but is
authorized to interpret the story of Rosie
the Riveter and the World War II home
front, conduct and maintain oral
histories, operate an education center,
provide visitor services, provide
technical assistance, enter into
agreements to support preservation and
interpretation, and acquire certain
structures from willing sellers. The NPS
will collaborate with the public and
private owners of these sites to plan for
and encourage their preservation and
use.
Pub. L. 106–352 requires the GMP to
include a plan to preserve the historic
setting of the Rosie the Riveter/World
War II Home Front National Historical
Park, which must be jointly developed
and approved by the City of Richmond.
Accordingly, the GMP will establish the
overall direction for the park, setting a
broad vision and management goals for
managing this partnership park for the
next 15 to 20 years. The plan was
originally scoped as an EIS. No concerns
or issues expressed during public
scoping and preliminary development
of the GMP convey either the potential
for controversy or identify potential for
significant impacts.
In the GMP effort to date the
cooperating park partners and NPS
planning team have developed three
alternatives for the historical park. All
three alternative visions support
preserving the historic scene while
providing different approaches for
visitors to experience and learn about
Rosie the Riveter and the American
World War II Home Front. Initial
analysis of the alternatives has revealed
neither major effects nor significant or
unacceptable impacts on the human
environment, nor any potential for
impairing park resources and values.
Potential impacts as may arise from
implementing any of the alternatives are
expected to range from negligible to
moderate in magnitude. All the GMP
alternative visions provide for
preserving the historic scene with the
NPS providing technical assistance to
help support the decisions and actions

Frm 00041

of the park partners. All uses expected
to occur under any of the alternative
visions are deemed to be appropriate.
For these reasons the NPS determined
the intensity of conservation planning
and environmental impact analysis
needed for the GMP is an EA.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The draft
GMP and EA will be integrated; the
combined document is expected to be
distributed for a 60-day public review
and comment period in the summer/fall
of 2007. The NPS will notify the public
by mail, Web site postings, local and
regional media, and other means, to
provide regularly updated information
on where and how to obtain a copy of
the EA, how to comment on the EA, and
the confirmed dates for public meetings
to be hosted in Richmond and Oakland
during the 60-day public review period.
For further information contact Martha
Lee, Superintendent, Rosie the Riveter/
World War II Home Front National
Historical Park, 1401 Marina Way
South, Richmond, CA 94804 (telephone:
(510) 232–5050; e-mail:
Martha_lee@nps.gov).
A decision regarding selection of an
alternative vision for the new GMP is
expected to be made in the fall/winter
of 2007. The official responsible for the
final decision is the Regional Director,
Pacific West Region, National Park
Service. Subsequently the official
responsible for implementing the new
GMP is the Superintendent, Rosie the
Riveter/World War II Home Front
National Historical Park.
