Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 80 / Tuesday, April 26, 2011 / Notices
Following due consideration for all
comments obtained through this
scoping effort, SEKI will prepare the
DEIS/WSP. This document will state the
purpose and need for Federal action,
describe and analyze a range of ‘‘action’’
alternatives (and a ‘‘no action’’ baseline
alternative), assess potential
environmental consequences of each
alternative and provide appropriate
impact mitigation strategies, identify the
‘‘environmentally preferred’’ course of
action, and explain the process and
rationale for determining the ‘‘agencypreferred’’ alternative. The DEIS/WSP
will also include an analysis of the
extent to which commercial services in
wilderness are necessary to realize
Wilderness Act purposes. The release of
the DEIS/WSP will be formally
announced by publication of a Notice of
Availability in the Federal Register, and
via Web site postings and
announcements in local and regional
news media. Notifications will also be
sent to the project mailing list, as well
as to local, State, Federal, and Tribal
governments.
Decision Process: Following careful
analysis of all responses received
concerning the DEIS/WSP, a Final EIS/
WSP will be prepared and its
availability similarly announced in the
Federal Register. Thereafter, but not
sooner than 30 days after release of the
Final EIS/WSP, a Record of Decision
would be prepared. As a delegated EIS,
the official responsible for final
approval of the SEKI Wilderness
Stewardship Plan is the Regional
Director, Pacific West Region.
Subsequently the official responsible for
implementation of the approved plan
would be the Superintendent, Sequoia
and Kings Canyon National Parks.
Dated: January 5, 2011.
Christine S. Lehnertz,
Regional Director, Pacific West Region.

Pursuant to § 102(2)(C) of the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969 (Pub. L. 91–190, as amended) and
the regulations promulgated by the
Council on Environmental Quality (40
CFR 1505.2), the Department of the
Interior, National Park Service (NPS)
has prepared and approved a Record of
Decision for the Final Environmental
Impact Statement for the Warner Valley
Comprehensive Site Plan (CSP) in
Lassen Volcanic National Park. The
requisite no-action ‘‘wait period’’ was
initiated September 24, 2010, with the
Environmental Protection Agency’s
Federal Register notification of the
filing of the Final EIS.
Decision: As soon as practical the NPS
will begin to implement the first phase
of restoration work identified in the
CSP, including incrementional lowering
and removal of Dream Lake Dam,
rehabilitation of drainage ditches in
Drakesbad Meadow, and propagation of
plant materials derived from local
native species for use in revegetation.
Other key project elements include
rehabilitation or repair of compatible
facilities in Drakesbad Guest Ranch
historic district, and removal of nonconforming structures. Consolidation of
concession housing (tent cabins) and
services outside the core of the historic
district will occur.
This approved CSP was identified and
analyzed as the agency-preferred
Alternative 2 in the Final EIS (and
includes no substantive modifications
from the course of action that was
described in the Draft EIS). The full
ranges of foreseeable environmental
consequences were assessed, and
appropriate mitigation measures are
incorporated in the approved plan. Both
a No Action alternative and an
additional ‘‘action’’ alternative were also
identified and analyzed. As documented
in the Draft and Final EIS, the selected
alternative was deemed to be the
‘‘environmentally preferred’’ course of
action.

review the Record of Decision may

Project (16 U.S.C. 410r–8), including a
continuous bridge, or additional bridges
or some combination thereof, for the
Tamiami Trail to restore more natural
water flow to ENP and Florida Bay and
for the purpose of restoring habitat
within the ENP and the ecological
connectivity between the ENP and the
Water Conservation Areas.’’ The FEIS for
the Tamiami Trail Modifications: Next
Steps Project provides historical
information, existing conditions,
alternatives for infrastructure
modifications, including the preferred
alternative, related impacts of the
alternatives, and public involvement
and consultation. The Tamiami Trail
Modifications: Next Steps Project would
