Notice; request for comments. AGENCY: ACTION: We (National Park Service) will ask the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to approve the Information Collection (IC) described below. The National Park Service is exploring ways to reduce the risk of damage to structures and natural systems from destructive storm surge and sea level rise. We will collect information from stakeholders’ about their values and perceptions of climate change-related vulnerabilities and adaptation strategies for managing cultural resources within the two historic districts (Portsmouth Village and Lookout Village) at Cape Lookout National Seashore (CALO). Stakeholders will be visitors at Portsmouth Village and Lookout Village, partner organizations, local community members with ties to the historic districts, federal, state and private cultural resource experts. This collection will be used to inform cultural resource adaptation planning efforts (i.e., maintenance, sustainability and post-storm recovery of historic structures and cemeteries) related to impacts of extreme weather events. To comply with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, and as part of our continuing efforts to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, we invite the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on this IC. SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00036 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 DATES: Managers of Cape Lookout National Seashore (CALO) are interested in identifying ways to reduce the risk of damage to coastal buildings and sensitive species from storm surge, sea level rise, and shoreline erosion anticipated over the next 20 to 30 years. Of specific interest to managers are contemporary cultural resource values and perceptions of cultural resource vulnerability and feasible adaptation strategies to sustain its cultural resources for future generations. The National Park Service (NPS) will conduct a survey of visitors to the two historic districts (Portsmouth Village and Lookout Village) at Cape Lookout National Seashore (CALO), a survey with members of CALO’s partner organizations, interview local community members with connections to the historic districts, and conduct a survey with cultural resource experts from federal and state agencies and nongovernmental organizations. The collection will be used to understand the values stakeholders place on cultural resources within the historic districts, and perceptions of strategies to adapt and respond to changes in cultural resource conditions from storms, flooding, and erosion. The information from this collection will provide NPS managers and planners with information that can be used to prepare resource management planning documents. Lessons learned from this study may be applied to support cultural resource adaptation planning for units across the NPS system. II. Data OMB Control Number: None. This is a new collection.

Following establishment in 1972, the GGNRA has been operating under a 1980 GMP. Since then GGNRA has doubled in size and visitation now approaches 16 million annually. The NPS has selected Alternative 1 Connecting People With Parks for implementation on park lands in Marin, San Francisco, and San Mateo Counties. Park management will focus on ways to attract and welcome people; connect visitors with the resources; and promote enjoyment, understanding, preservation, and health for diverse populations now and in the future. To achieve these objectives, management zones will be applied in all areas, enhancements will be made to park programs, and a number of projects will be carried out to preserve, restore, and/or improve cultural and natural resources as well as park facilities and infrastructure. The NPS has selected Alternative 3 Focusing on National Treasures for implementation at Alcatraz Island and Muir Woods National Monument. Park management will showcase nationally important cultural and natural resources at each site. These fundamental resources will be managed at the highest level of preservation to protect the resources in perpetuity and to promote appreciation, understanding, and enjoyment of those resources—all other resources will be managed to complement the nationally significant resources and the associated visitor experience. Four alternatives, including a noaction alternative, were described and evaluated in the Final Environmental Impact Statement, the full range of foreseeable environmental consequences was assessed, and E:\FR\FM\21MYN1.SGM 21MYN1

I. Abstract

    Managers of Cape Lookout National Seashore (CALO) are interested in 
identifying ways to reduce the risk of damage to coastal buildings and 
sensitive species from storm surge, sea level rise, and shoreline 
erosion anticipated over the next 20 to 30 years. Of specific interest 
to managers are contemporary cultural resource values and perceptions 
of cultural resource vulnerability and feasible adaptation strategies 
to sustain its cultural resources for future generations. The National 
Park Service (NPS) will conduct a survey of visitors to the two 
historic districts (Portsmouth Village and Lookout Village) at Cape 
Lookout National Seashore (CALO), a survey with members of CALO's 
partner organizations, interview local community members with 
connections to the historic districts, and conduct a survey with 
cultural resource experts from federal and state agencies and 
nongovernmental organizations.
    The collection will be used to understand the values stakeholders 
place on cultural resources within the historic districts, and 
perceptions of strategies to adapt and respond to changes in cultural 
resource conditions from storms, flooding, and erosion. The information 
from this collection will provide NPS managers and planners with 
information that can be used to prepare resource management planning 
documents.
    Lessons learned from this study may be applied to support cultural 
resource adaptation planning for units across the NPS system.
