SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB

require that interested members of the
public and affected agencies be
provided an opportunity to comment on
information collection and
recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR
1320.8(d) and 1320.12(a)). The
Paperwork Reduction Act provides that
an agency may not conduct or sponsor
a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number. Until OMB approves a
collection of information, you are not
obligated to respond.
This notice identifies information
collections that are contained in 43 CFR

OMB approve this information
collection activity for a 3-year term.
Comments are invited on: (1) The need
for the collection of information for the
performance of the functions of the
agency; (2) the accuracy of the agency’s
burden estimates; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collection; and (4) ways to
minimize the information collection
burden on respondents, such as use of
automated means of collection of the
information. A summary of the public
comments will accompany the BLM’s
submission of the information collection
requests to OMB.
All comments will become a matter of
public record. Before including your

publication by the Environmental
Protection Agency of the Notice of
Availability of the Final Environmental
Impact Statement.
ADDRESSES: Information will be
available for public inspection online at

Wisconsin.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
document provides a framework for
management of the Lakeshore and the
Gaylord Nelson Wilderness, including
its resources, visitors, and facilities, for
the next 15–20 years. The document
describes four alternatives for
management of the park, including a noaction alternative, and analyzes the
environmental impacts of those
alternatives.
The NPS preferred alternative
(Alternative 2) would focus on
providing opportunities for more people
to have an island experience. Additional
transportation opportunities would be
sought to encourage visitors to come to
Sand, Basswood, and Oak islands. Some
additional visitor facilities would be
developed on these islands. There
would be no change in the number of
public docks in the park, but some
docks would be relocated, improved, or
expanded. The Bayfield visitor center
would be moved closer to the water to
improve contact with visitors and to be
located with an operations center. The
Little Sand Bay Visitor Center would be
replaced with a visitor contact station.
A new ranger station and accessible
beach ramp would be developed at
Meyers Beach. Two light stations would
be restored or rehabilitated, similar to
the Raspberry Island light station. The
wilderness area would continue to be
managed as it is now, with the
exception of the Oak Island group
campsite being removed and the site
restored.
Other alternatives considered
included the no action alternative
(Alternative 1) where the NPS would
continue to manage the Lakeshore as it
has been managed since the 1989
general management plan was approved
and the Gaylord Nelson Wilderness was
designated in 2004. Alternative 3, which
would focus on providing primitive,
lake-oriented recreation and education
opportunities, with some new and
different opportunities provided. Under
VerDate Mar<15>2010

alternative 4, the emphasis would be on
providing a greater variety of structured
recreation opportunities for visitors.
More visitor facilities would be
provided in island non-wilderness
areas, and mainland visitor
opportunities would be expanded.

(318 snowmobiles and 78 snowcoaches
per day). Alternative 3 would allow for
snowmobile and snowcoach use levels
to increase to the levels set forth in the
2004 plan (720 snowmobiles and 78
