SUMMARY: Pursuant to National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 42
U.S.C. 4332(2)(C), the National Park
Service announces the availability of a
Final Environmental Impact Statement
for the Winter Use Plans, Yellowstone
and Grand Teton National Parks and the
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., Memorial
Parkway, Wyoming.
Seven alternative winter use
management plans are evaluated in this
EIS; alternative 7 is the NPS preferred
alternative. Alternative 1 would put into
place the provisions of the temporary
winter use plan of August 2004, with
some modifications. Alternative 2
would prohibit recreational
snowmobiling in the parks in favor of
snowcoach access. Alternative 3A
would close much of Yellowstone to
oversnow travel, leaving the South
Entrance to Old Faithful route open to
such use. A variation of alternative 3
(3B) is the no action alternative—it
closes all routes to motorized oversnow
recreation. This would be the outcome
of the temporary plan, should no new
decision be made. Four other
alternatives (4, 5, 6, and 7) would allow
varying levels of snowmobile and
snowcoach access to continue in the
parks. Alternative 4 would allow for
increased snowmobile use, relative to
historic numbers. Alternative 5 would
allow for some unguided snowmobile
use and would feature seasonal and
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 211001
flexible daily entry limits in
Yellowstone. Alternative 6 would
provide for plowing some roads in
Yellowstone to allow commercial
wheeled-vehicle access from West
Yellowstone and Mammoth to Old
Faithful. Preferred alternative 7 would
provide for a balance of snowmobile
and snowcoach use and protect park
soundscapes, air quality, wildlife and
other resources. In Yellowstone, the
daily limit on snowmobiles would be
540 snowmobiles per day in
Yellowstone. 65 snowmobiles would be
allowed per day in Grand Teton and the
Parkway. In Yellowstone, all
snowmobilers would be required to
travel with a commercial guide, and in
both parks, all snowcoaches and most
snowmobiles would be required to use
Best Available Technology (BAT). 83
snowcoaches would be allowed into
Yellowstone daily. The East Entrance
would remain open for cross-country ski
and snowshoe access.
DATES: The National Park Service will
execute a Record of Decision (ROD) no
sooner than 30 days following
publication by the Environmental
Protection Agency of the Notice of
Availability of the Final Environmental
Impact Statement.
ADDRESSES: Information will be
available for public inspection online at

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the
Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation)
proposes to prepare an EIS for the
Walker River Basin Acquisitions
Program. The primary purpose of the
program is to comply with the
requirements of Public Law 107–171
(Desert Terminal Lakes Program), which
appropriates funds to provide water to
at-risk natural desert terminal lakes, and
with Public Law 109–103, which
allocates funds to the University of
Nevada for two specific purposes. The
first purpose is to implement a program
for environmental restoration to acquire
from willing sellers land, water
appurtenant to the land, and related
interests in the Walker River Basin,
Nevada. Acquired water rights would be
transferred to provide water to Walker
Lake. The second purpose of the
University’s funding is to establish and
operate an agricultural and natural
resources center. The actions to be
analyzed in this EIS will be the
purchase of water rights and related
interests from willing sellers in the
Walker River Basin, Nevada.
DATES: A series of public scoping
meetings will be held to solicit public
input on the alternatives, concerns, and
issues to be addressed in the EIS. The
meetings dates are:
• Monday, October 22, 2007, 6 to 8
p.m., Reno, NV.
• Tuesday, October 23, 2007, 6 to 8
p.m., Yerington, NV.
• Wednesday, October 24, 2007, 6 to
8 p.m., Hawthorne, NV.
• Thursday, October 25, 2007, 6 to 8
p.m., Bridgeport, CA.
Written comments on the scope of the
EIS should be sent by November 26,
2007.
ADDRESSES: The public scoping
meetings locations are:
• Reno at Rancho San Rafael Park,
Main Ranch House, 1595 N. Sierra
Street.
• Yerington at Yerington High
School, gymnasium, 114 Pearl Street.
• Hawthorne at Mineral County
