SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 102(2)(C)
of the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(C)), the
National Park Service (NPS) is
announcing its intent to prepare an
environmental impact statement (EIS)
for a comprehensive management plan
(CMP) for the Lewis and Clark National
Historic Trail (Trail) in the states of
Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska,
Iowa, South Dakota, North Dakota,

The CMP will prescribe the resource
conditions and visitor experiences that
are to be achieved and maintained for
the Trail over the next 15 to 20 years.
The clarification of what must be
achieved according to law and policy
will be based on review of the Trail’s
purpose, significance, special mandates,
and the body of laws and policies that
direct Trail administration. Based on
determinations of desired conditions,
the CMP will outline the kinds of
resource management activities, visitor
activities, and development that would
be appropriate in the future. A range of
reasonable management alternatives
will be developed through this planning
process and will include, at a minimum,
no-action and the preferred alternative.
Major issues to be addressed in the
CMP include: issues surrounding
preserving Trail resources (such as
developing management strategies to
preserve and maintain historic
structures and cultural landscapes, and
protect archeological sites in the face of
a predicted increase in visitation);
issues surrounding visitor
understanding; education and
appreciation of park resources; and
issues surrounding ensuring
organizational effectiveness (such as
identifying existing and potential
partnerships with the state, federal,
local, tribal, nonprofit organizations).
DATES: Any comments on the scope of
issues to be addressed in the EIS can be
received at any time after the
publication of this notice in the FR.
Public meetings regarding the CMP will
be held during the scoping period.
Specific dates, times, and locations will
be made available in the local media, on
the Trail Web site (https://www.nps.gov/
lecl), on the NPS Planning, Environment
and Public Comment (PEPC) Web site
(https://parkplanning.nps.gov/lecl), or by
