AGENCY:
ACTION:
The National Park Service has
prepared and approved a Record of
Decision for the Final Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) for the
Wilderness Management Plan for Lake
Mead National Recreation Area.
Approval of the Wilderness
Management Plan concludes an
extensive conservation planning and
environmental impact analysis effort
that began during 2006. The requisite
no-action ‘‘wait period’’ was initiated on
February 27, 2015, with the
Environmental Protection Agency’s
Federal Register announcement of the
filing of the Final EIS.
ADDRESSES: Those wishing to review the
Record of Decision may obtain a copy
by request to the Superintendent, Lake
Mead National Recreation Area, 601

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jim
Holland, Senior Outdoor Recreation
Planner, (702) 293–8986.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Park Service (NPS), in
collaboration with the Bureau of Land
Management (BLM), prepared the
Wilderness Management Plan (WMP),
which will guide management actions
in eight wilderness areas located in
Nevada, as follows: The Black Canyon,
Bridge Canyon, Jimbilnan, Nellis Wash,
and Pinto Valley areas (managed by
NPS), and the Eldorado, Ireteba Peaks,
and Spirit Mountain areas (jointly
managed by NPS and BLM). These areas
were designated wilderness in 2002
through the Clark County Conservation
of Public Land and Natural Resources
Act (Pub. L. 107–282).
The EIS process was jointly
conducted 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 BLM has prepared a
separate Record of Decision for those
portions of the three wilderness areas
that it manages.
Three alternatives, all including
mitigation measures, were evaluated

during the EIS/WMP process. The
‘‘agency preferred’’ Alternative B has
been selected for implementation. The
approved WMP will preserve the
wilderness character, natural resources,
and cultural resources in the eight
designated wilderness areas within Lake
Mead National Recreation Area, while
also providing for the use and
enjoyment of the wilderness areas. The
WMP provides guidelines to NPS
wilderness managers for maintaining
desirable conditions in the wilderness
areas, and is intended to provide for
consistency and continuity for the
undertaking of future NPS and BLM
wilderness management activities and
programs. The WMP does not entail any
changes to the NPS or BLM wilderness
boundaries set forth in the Clark County
wilderness legislation. All primary
components of the selected alternative
will be implemented as NPS staffing
and funding allow.
