DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
National Park Service
Fort Dupont Park, National Capital
Parks—East, Washington, DC; Notice
of Availability of a Finding of No
Significant Impact for the Proposed
Transfer of Jurisdiction of a Portion of
Fort Dupont Park, Washington, DC
mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
AGENCY: National Park Service,
Department of the Interior.
ACTION: Notice of availability of a
Finding of No Significant Impact.
SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and
National Park Service (NPS) NEPA
guidelines, NPS prepared and in
October 2008 made available for a 30day public review an Environmental
Assessment (EA) evaluating the
potential impacts of a proposed transfer
of jurisdiction of a portion of Fort
Dupont Park to the Government of the
District of Columbia (the District). This
transfer would be for recreational
purposes and in assessing this proposed
transfer, the EA also considered the
District’s general plan to expand and
improve sports-related recreational
facilities to the extent that these details
are presently known.
After the end of the 30-day public
review period, the NPS selected for
implementation, the preferred
alternative as described in the EA, and
determined it will not have a significant
impact on the quality of the human
environment and that an Environmental
Impact Statement is not required. In
making that selection and
determination, the NPS considered the
information and analysis contained in
the EA and the comments received
during the public review period. The
NPS has accordingly prepared a Finding
of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the
proposed transfer. The FONSI is also
accompanied by an errata sheet that
corrected some minor inaccuracies and
updated some information.
The errata did not result in any
changes in the overall findings of the EA
and had no bearing on its determination
of no significant impact.

National Capital Parks—East, RE: Fort
Dupont Park Land Transfer Proposal, at

DC 20020, by telephone at (202) 690–
5127, or by e-mail at
gayle_hazelwood@nps.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
selected alternative would transfer
jurisdiction of an approximate 15-acre
parcel at one end of Fort Dupont Park

(the Project Area) to the District to
facilitate the improvement and
expansion of recreational facilities
located there. The transfer would result
in the District taking over management
of the Project Area and then improving
and expanding the sports-related
recreational facilities including the
development of a Youth Baseball
Academy and the expansion of the Fort
Dupont Ice Arena. Pursuant to the
transfer, all NPS managerial
responsibilities for the Project Area,
including the Fort Dupont Ice Arena
which the NPS leases to the Friends of
Fort Dupont Ice Arena, Inc., will be
transferred to the District, and the
Project Area will no longer be a part of
Fort Dupont Park. The transfer will also
necessitate amending the NPS’ 2004
Fort Circle Parks Management Plan
which provides a managerial framework
for decisions about use and
development within the Fort Circle
Parks, including Fort Dupont Park.
Although the NPS proposes making
this transfer, for it to occur not only
must the NPS and District agree to the
terms, the National Capital Planning
Commission must recommend it.
The FONSI and other documents
related to this action are available for
review electronically on the NPS’s
Planning, Environment, and Public
Comment (PEPC) Web site at https://
parkplanning.nps.gov/NACE. You may
also request a hard copy at (202) 690–
