FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
I hereby certify that the National
Geospatial Advisory Committee is in the
public interest in connection with the
performance of duties imposed on the
Department of the Interior by Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
Circular A–16 (Revised), ‘‘Coordination
of Geographic Information and Related
Spatial Data Activities.’’ The Committee
will assist the Department of the Interior
by providing advice and
recommendations related to the
management of Federal geospatial
programs and the development of the
National Spatial Data Infrastructure.
Superintendent Wendy Ross, Knife
River Indian Villages National Historic
Site, at the address above, or by
telephone at (701) 745–3300.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NPS
is announcing its intent to prepare an
archeological resources management
plan and environmental impact
statement (Plan/EIS) for comprehensive
archeological resource protection from
Knife River bank erosion, infrastructure
placement, vegetation encroachment,
and burrowing mammal activity at Knife
River Indian Villages National Historic
Site.
The project objective is to support the
NPS mission to ‘‘conserve the scenery
and the natural and historic objects and
the wildlife therein and to provide for
the enjoyment of the same in such
manner and by such means as will leave
them unimpaired for the enjoyment of
future generations.’’ To this end, the
project will define desired conditions
and management actions that conform
to The Secretary of the Interior’s
Standards for Treatment of Historic
Properties, while providing a suite of
various reasonable alternatives capable
of achieving these goals.
Past planning and emergency efforts
have focused on streambank protection;
however, this plan will encompass all
threats to archeological resources and
all reasonable and feasible alternatives
to stop or reduce resource impacts. The
plan will explore some of the following
during the course of alternative
development: Stream bank control,
erosion control, pest abatement,
vegetation control, archeological
excavation and documentation, and
interpretation of archeological
resources. A full range of reasonable
alternatives for the management of
archeological resources will be
developed through this planning
process and will include, at minimum,
a no-action and a preferred alternative.
The potential environmental effects of
each alternative will be evaluated.
The purpose of the formal public
scoping process is to determine relevant
issues that will influence the scope of
the environmental analysis, including
alternatives, and guide the process for
developing the Plan/EIS. All interested
persons, organizations, agencies, and
Tribes are encouraged to submit
comments and suggestions on issues
and concerns that should be addressed
in the Plan/EIS, and the range of
appropriate alternatives that should be
examined.
The NPS will use the public
involvement process established by the
National Environmental Policy Act to
