FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
In
furtherance of the Wilderness Act of
1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.), NPS
Management Policies 2006 section 6.2.1
provides that all lands administered by
the NPS, including new units and
additions to existing units since 1964,
will be evaluated for their eligibility for
inclusion in the national wilderness
preservation system. Accordingly, the
NPS intends to evaluate all previously
unassessed lands within the following
parks for wilderness eligibility:
Chattahoochee River National
Recreation Area (all lands), Everglades
National Park (three small,
noncontiguous areas not previously
assessed), Gulf Islands National
Seashore (Cat Island Unit), Jean Lafitte
National Historical Park and Preserve
(Barataria Preserve Unit), Little River
Canyon National Preserve (all lands),
and Virgin Islands National Park.
For areas determined to be ineligible
for wilderness designation, the
wilderness preservation provisions in
the NPS Management Policies 2006
would not apply (NPS Management
Policies 2006 section 6.2.1.3). However,
ineligible lands will continue to be
managed in accordance with the NPS
Organic Act and all other laws,
Executive orders, regulations, and
policies applicable to units of the
national park system.
Lands and waters found to possess the
characteristics and values of wilderness,
as defined in the Wilderness Act and
determined eligible pursuant to the
wilderness eligibility assessment, will
be formally studied to develop the
recommendation to Congress for
wilderness designation (NPS
Management Policies 2006 section
6.2.2). The wilderness study will
include the appropriate level of analyses
under the National Environmental
Policy Act and the National Historic
Preservation Act. Congress alone can
designate wilderness areas.
Determinations of eligibility and
subsequent future actions will be
