ACTION: Notice of Availability of a
Record of Decision on the Final
Environmental Impact Statement for the
Winter Use Plans, Yellowstone and
Grand Teton National Parks and the
John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial
Parkway.
AGENCY:
Pursuant to § 102(2)(C) of the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969, 83 Stat. 852, 853, codified as
amended at 42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(C), the
National Park Service announces the
availability of the Record of Decision for
the Winter Use Plans, Yellowstone and
Grand Teton National Parks and the
John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial
Parkway, Wyoming. On November 20,
2007, the Director, Intermountain
Region, approved the Record of
Decision for the project.
Beginning in the winter of 2007–2008,
the National Park Service (NPS) will
begin to implement this Decision,
although certain provisions will not
apply until implementing regulations
are promulgated, as described in the
Revised Preferred Alternative
(Alternative 7) contained in the FEIS
issued on October 5, 2007. The
following course of action will occur
under Alternative 7 as modified in the
mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
SUMMARY:

ROD: 540 Best Available Technology
(BAT) snowmobiles and 83
snowcoaches will be allowed per day in
Yellowstone. All snowmobiles and
snowcoaches will be 100%
commercially guided. For the winter
season of 2007–2008 Sylvan Pass will be
managed continuing the combined
program outlined in the 2004
Temporary Plan. After the winter of
2007–2008, in order to maximize risk
reduction, the pass would be open and
managed using full avalanche
forecasting (as defined in the Sylvan
Pass Operational Risk Management
Assessment). When full forecasting
indicates the pass is safe, the pass will
be open to oversnow travel (both
motorized and non-motorized access).
The NPS will, in good faith, work
cooperatively with the State of
Wyoming, Park County, Wyoming, and
the City of Cody to determine how to
provide continued snowmobile and
snowcoach motorized oversnow access
to Yellowstone National Park through
the East Gate via Sylvan Pass in the
winter use seasons beyond 2007–2008.
Beginning with the 2011–2012 season,
all snowcoaches operating in the parks
will be required to meet BAT emission
and sound level requirements.
In Grand Teton and the Parkway,
grooming and motorized oversnow
travel on the Continental Divide
Snowmobile Trail (CDST) between
Moran Junction and Flagg Ranch will be
discontinued. However, those interested
in through travel on the CDST may
transport their snowmobiles on trailers
between these locations.
Twenty-five snowmobiles a day will
be allowed to travel on the Grassy Lake
Road with no BAT or guiding
requirement. Forty unguided BAT
snowmobiles a day will be allowed on
Jackson Lake to facilitate ice fishing by
those possessing appropriate fishing
gear and a valid State of Wyoming
fishing license.
This course of action and seven
alternatives were analyzed in the Draft
and Final Environmental Impact
Statements. The full range of foreseeable
environmental consequences was
assessed, and appropriate mitigating
measures were identified.
The Record of Decision includes a
statement of the decision made,
synopses of other alternatives
considered, the basis for the decision, a
description of the environmentally
preferred alternative, a finding on
impairment of park resources and
values, a listing of measures to
minimize environmental harm, and an
overview of public involvement in the
decision-making process.
