204 of the Federal Land Policy and
Management Act of 1976, 43 U.S.C.
1714 (2000), it is ordered as follows:
1. The Bureau of Reclamation Order
dated August 8, 1947 (12 FR 6095
(1947)), and the Secretarial Order dated
January 29, 1937, which originally
withdrew approximately 60 acres of
lands from surface entry and mining
and reserved them on behalf of the
Bureau of Reclamation for the Provo
River Project, are hereby revoked in
their entireties.

National Park Service
Notice To Terminate the Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) Process for the
Special Resource Study (SRS) for
Virginia Key Beach Park (VKBP),
Biscayne Bay, FL
SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 102(2)(C)
of the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969, and National Park Service
(NPS) policy in Director’s Order 2 (Park
Planning) and Director’s Order 12
(Conservation Planning, Environmental
Impact Analysis, and Decision-making),
the NPS is terminating the EIS process
for the SRS for VKBP, Biscayne Bay,
Florida. The SRS does not find VKBP to
be nationally significant or suitable for
inclusion in the National Park System
and does not require direct NPS
management as defined in the NPS
Management Policies, 2006. Therefore,
inclusion of VKBP in the National Park
System is not recommended. Since the
SRS is not proposing Federal
management of the site, the EIS process
is being terminated.
The NPS will conduct local public
meetings to inform and receive input
from interested parties on the outcome
of the SRS. Prior to the meetings a
summary newsletter will be distributed.
Following the meetings a draft report
will be made available for public
review.
The dates and times of the public
meetings will be published in local
newspapers and on the internet at
https://parkplanning.nps.gov. These
dates and times may also be obtained by
contacting the NPS Southeast Regional
Office, Planning and Compliance
Division. The NPS anticipates that a
draft report will be available for the
public in July 2008.
ADDRESSES: The locations of the public
meetings will be published in local
newspapers and on the internet at
https://parkplanning.nps.gov.
Comments should be submitted in
writing to the following address: Amy
Wirsching, Planning Team Leader,
Virginia Key Beach Park Special
Resource Study, NPS, Southeast Region,
Planning and Compliance Division, 100

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the
Federal Register Notice of May 13, 2005
(70 FR 25598), the NPS notified

interested parties it was preparing an
EIS for the SRS for VKBP, Biscayne Bay,
Florida. Since that time VKBP has been
evaluated to determine if it should be
considered for inclusion in the National
Park System. The four required criteria
are: national significance, suitability,
feasibility, and the requirement of direct
NPS management. Based on the
information that follows, the SRS does
not find VKBP to be nationally
significant or suitable for inclusion in
the National Park System and does not
require direct NPS management as
defined in the NPS Management
Policies, 2006. Therefore, inclusion of
VKBP in the National Park System is not
recommended. Since the SRS is not
proposing Federal management of the
site, the EIS process is being terminated.
National Significance: Based upon the
opinion of the National Historic
Landmarks (NHL) Program and an
analysis of the NHL criteria for national
significance, the preliminary
determination does not find VKBP to be
nationally significant as defined in the
NPS Management Policies, 2006. The
site did not represent a major event or
turning point in the national struggle for
civil rights, and is not associated
importantly with persons nationally
significant in the history of the Civil
Rights Movement.
Suitability: In assessing a comparison
of VKBP to other NPS, State, and local
properties, it is apparent that resources
similar to those of VKBP are adequately
represented by other public entities. In
addition, VKBP does not meet the
requirements to be categorized in an
appropriate NHL theme study.
Therefore, VKBP does not meet the
criteria to be considered suitable for
addition to the National Park System.
Feasibility: Apart from potential NPS
operational and development costs, the
VKBP site appears to be feasible for
inclusion in the National Park System.
Direct NPS Management: The fourth
SRS criterion requires direct NPS
management instead of protection by
other public agencies or the private
sector. Based on the amount of current
interest to protect and interpret the site
by the city of Miami and the current site
manager, the VKBP Trust, the
determination is that the site does not
require direct NPS management for its
protection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register Notice of May 13,
2005 (70 FR 25598), the NPS notified interested parties it was
preparing an EIS for the SRS for VKBP, Biscayne Bay, Florida. Since
that time VKBP has been evaluated to determine if it should be

criteria are: national significance, suitability, feasibility, and the

follows, the SRS does not find VKBP to be nationally significant or

direct NPS management as defined in the NPS Management Policies, 2006.
Therefore, inclusion of VKBP in the National Park System is not
recommended. Since the SRS is not proposing Federal management of the

Direct NPS Management: The fourth SRS criterion requires direct NPS
