2009. An update will also be posted on
the project Web site.
As noted
above, persons who previously
submitted comments on the proposed
GMP need not resubmit those
comments. The NPS already is
considering that input as planning
continues. However, persons who have
not previously submitted comments on
the scope of the EIS, or who wish to
submit additional comments related to
consideration of the Wilderness Study
are encouraged to do so.
Previously three public scoping
sessions were held at Ventura, Santa
Barbara, and Los Angeles during the
week of November 12, 2001. Additional
public meetings will be held during
spring-summer, 2009, in Santa Barbara
and Ventura to address the new
wilderness study and to provide a GMP
project update (a summary of all
scoping results will also be available).
The confirmed dates, times and
locations of these meetings will be
posted on the park’s web site,
announced via local and regional news
media, or may be obtained by telephone
at (805) 658–5730.
The conservation planning and
environmental impact analysis
supporting preparation of the GMP/
Wilderness Study will be conducted as
noted above in accord with
requirements of NEPA, CEQ and other
appropriate Federal regulations, and
NPS Director’s Order 12, Director’s
Order 41, and other NPS procedures and
policies. For further information, please
contact the Superintendent, Channel
Islands National Park, 1901 Spinnaker
Drive, Ventura, CA 93001–4354;
telephone (805) 658–5730. General
information about Channel Islands
National Park is available on the
Internet at https://www.nps.gov/chis.
Decision Process: Following final
completion of the scoping phase and
consideration of all public concerns and
other agency comments, a Draft EIS and
proposed GMP will be prepared and
released for public review. The
subsequent availability of the Draft EIS/
GMP will be announced by Federal
Register notice and in local and regional
news media. As a delegated EIS, the
official responsible for the final decision
on the GMP is the Regional Director,
Pacific West Region, National Park
Service. Following approval of the GMP
the official responsible for
implementation will be the
Superintendent, Channel Islands
National Park.
