SUMMARY: The National Park Service
(NPS) is terminating preparation of an
EIS for the General Management Plan
for Aztec Ruins National Monument,
New Mexico. A Notice of Intent to
prepare an EIS for the Aztec Ruins
National Monument General
Management Plan was published in the
Federal Register on October 8, 2003 (68
FR 58130), and followed by a scoping
newsletter. The NPS has since
determined that an EA rather than an
EIS is the appropriate level of
environmental documentation for the
plan.

The
General Management Plan will establish
the overall management direction for
the next 15 to 20 years. Five scoping
information meetings were conducted in
October 2003 with American Indian
tribes and the general public at the park,
and in the cities of Aztec, Santa Fe,
Albuquerque, and Gallup, New Mexico.
Initial scoping did not result in
significant impacts being identified by
the public. Additionally, the
preliminary analysis of the alternatives
does not indicate that significant
impacts will result from implementation
of any of the alternatives. The NPS
planning team has developed three
alternatives, including the No Action
Alternative (1)—Continuation of
Existing Conditions, and two action
alternatives. All alternatives respond in
various degrees to the ideas presented
during scoping. The two action
alternatives (2 and 3) would expand
park-related functions within the
boundary, would focus preservation
activities within the boundary on
resources throughout the monument,
and would increase visitor
understanding and enjoyment by
expanding interpretation to include
more resources and research within the
monument. The Proposed Action
(Alternative 3) would place major
emphasis on partnerships, civic
engagement, and collaborative
management opportunities to address
issues within the park boundary, and
would promote collaboration and
partnerships to help preserve ruins
throughout the region. These
alternatives will be expanded upon and
refined through the planning process.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
DATES: The NPS will notify the public
by mail, Web site, and other means, of
public review periods and meetings
associated with the Draft GMP/EA. All
public review and other written public
information will be made available
