III. What information do we consider in
the review?
A 5-year review considers all new
information available at the time of the
review. In conducting these reviews, we
consider the best scientific and
commercial data that has become
available since the listing determination
or most recent status review, such as:
(A) Species biology including, but not
limited to, population trends,
distribution, abundance, demographics,
and genetics;
(B) Habitat conditions including, but
not limited to, amount, distribution, and
suitability;
(C) Conservation measures that have
been implemented that benefit the
species;
(D) Threat status and trends (see five
factors under heading ‘‘How Do We
Determine Whether a Species is
Endangered or Threatened?’’); and
(E) Other new information, data, or
corrections including, but not limited
to, taxonomic or nomenclatural changes,
identification of erroneous information
contained in the List, and improved
analytical methods.
IV. How do we determine whether a
species is endangered or threatened?
Section 4(a)(1) of the Act requires that
we determine whether a species is
endangered or threatened based on one
or more of the five following factors:
(A) The present or threatened
destruction, modification, or
curtailment of its habitat or range;
(B) Overutilization for commercial,
recreational, scientific, or educational
purposes;
(C) Disease or predation;
(D) The inadequacy of existing
regulatory mechanisms; or
(E) Other natural or manmade factors
affecting its continued existence.
Under section 4(b)(1) of the Act, we
must base our assessment of these
factors solely on the best scientific and
commercial data available.

V. What could happen as a result of this
review?
For each species under review, if we
find new information that indicates a
change in classification may be
warranted, we may propose, through
formal rulemaking, to:
(A) Reclassify the species from
threatened to endangered (uplist);
(B) Reclassify the species from
endangered to threatened (downlist); or
(C) Remove the species from the List
(delist).
If we determine that a change in
classification is not warranted, then no
formal rulemaking is required; the
species remains on the List under its
current status.
VI. Request for New Information
To ensure that a 5-year review is
complete and based on the best
available scientific and commercial
information, we request new
information from all sources. See ‘‘What
Information Do We Consider in Our
Review?’’ for specific criteria. If you
submit information, please support it
with documentation such as maps,
bibliographic references, methods used
to gather and analyze the data, and/or
copies of any pertinent publications,
reports, or letters by knowledgeable
sources.
If you wish to provide information for
any species listed above, please submit
your comments and materials to the
Field Supervisor of the appropriate Fish
and Wildlife Office (see ADDRESSES
section).
VII. Public Availability of Comments

Director’s Order Number 2 (Park
Planning) and Director’s Order Number
12 (Conservation Planning,
Environmental Impact Analysis, and
Decision-making) the NPS announces
the availability of the ROD for the GMP/
FEIS for the Tuskegee Airmen National
Historic Site, Tuskegee, Alabama. On
August 11, 2010, the Regional Director,
NPS, Southeast Region, approved the
ROD for the project. The ROD includes
a description of the project’s
background, a decision statement,
synopses of other alternatives
considered, the basis for the final
decision, findings on impairment of the
site’s resources and values, a
description of the environmentally
preferable alternative, and an overview
of public and agency involvement in the
planning process.
DATES: The ROD was signed by the
Regional Director, NPS, Southeast
Region, on August 11, 2010.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the ROD are
available by contacting the Park
Superintendent at the Tuskegee Airmen
National Historic Site (NHS), 1616
Chappie James Avenue, Tuskegee,
Alabama 36083; telephone: 334–727–
6390.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Five
alternatives were evaluated in the EIS.
Alternative A, the no-action alternative,
described current management of the
site and served as a basis for comparison
in evaluating the other alternatives.
Alternative B emphasized the natural
environment by keeping Tuskegee
Airmen NHS largely undeveloped and
natural in character outside of the core
historic area. Alternative C aims to
restore much of the Park to its historic
1945 appearance. Alternative D is the
selected alternative. It preserves and
protects cultural resources and the core
historic area while offering the most
diversity of visitor interpretive
programs, natural areas, and
recreational opportunities. Alternative E
preserved the core historic area and
offered the most recreational
opportunities.
Among the five alternatives
considered, the selected alternative best
protects the diversity of Park resources
while also maintaining a range of
quality visitor experiences, meets NPS
purposes and goals for the Tuskegee
Airmen NHS, and meets National
Environmental Policy Act goals. The
selected alternative will not result in the
impairment of Park resources and will
allow the NPS to conserve Park
resources and provide for their
enjoyment by visitors.

Notice of Availability of the
Final Environmental Impact Statement
for the General Management Plan/
Wilderness Study/Off-Road Vehicle
Management Plan (FEIS/GMP/WS/ORV
Plan), Big Cypress National Preserve
(Preserve) Addition.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
Pursuant to 42 U.S.C.
4332(2)(C) of the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and
National Park Service (NPS) policy in
Director’s Order Number 2 (Park
Planning) and Director’s Order Number
12 (Conservation Planning,
Environmental Impact Analysis, and
Decision-making), the NPS announces
the availability of a Final Environmental
Impact Statement for the GMP/WS/ORV
Plan for the Big Cypress National
Preserve Addition, Florida.
The 1991 GMP for the original
Preserve contains no guidance for the
approximately 147,000 acres added to
the Preserve in 1988 by Public Law 100–
301 (the Addition). A GMP is needed to
clearly define resource conditions and
visitor experiences to be achieved in the
Addition.
DATES: The National Park Service will
execute a Record of Decision (ROD) no
sooner than 30 days following
publication by the Environmental
Protection Agency of the Notice of
Availability of the Final Environmental
Impact Statement.
ADDRESSES: The document will be

In addition, a limited number of CDs
and hard copies will be made available
at Preserve headquarters. You may also
request a hard copy or CD by contacting
Big Cypress National Preserve, 33100
Tamiami Trail East, Ochopee, Florida
34141–1000; telephone 239–695–1103.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Public
scoping was initiated in the summer of
2001. Public meetings and seven
newsletters were used to keep the
public informed and involved
throughout the planning process for the
Addition. The Draft GMP/WS/ORV
Plan/EIS was distributed to other
agencies, interested organizations, and
individuals for their review and
comment during the summer of 2009.
Four public meetings and wilderness
hearings were held.
The draft document was revised as a
result of public and agency feedback
received during the public comment
period. The Final GMP/WS/ORV Plan/
EIS provides a framework for
management, use, and development
options for the Addition by the NPS for
the next 15 to 20 years. It describes four
management alternatives for
consideration, including a no-action
alternative that continues the current
management framework. The three
action alternatives present a range of
ORV opportunities, proposed
wilderness, and visitor facilities. The
document analyzes the environmental
impacts of the alternatives.
The four alternatives (with names as
they appear in the document) are as
follows:
Alternative A: No-Action
Alternative—the continuation of current
management practices and trends. The
enabling legislation would be the longterm document to guide management
and development of the Preserve.
Alternative B: The concept for
management under alternative B would
be to enable visitor participation in a
wide variety of outdoor recreational
experiences. It would nearly maximize
motorized access to sustainable trails
(up to 132 miles of motorized trails),
provide the least amount of proposed
wilderness (about 37,567 acres), and
develop limited new hiking-only trails.
The entire off-road vehicle (ORV) trail
system would be implemented without
phased establishment and the
assessment of monitoring results. New
visitor and operations facilities along
the I–75 corridor would also be
provided.
Preferred Alternative: The preferred
alternative would provide diverse
frontcountry and backcountry
recreational opportunities, enhance day
