Department of the Interior April 20, 2006 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The National Park Service (NPS) is terminating preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the General Management Plan, Amistad National Recreation Area, Texas. A Notice of Intent to prepare the EIS for the Amistad National Recreation Area General Management Plan was published in Vol. 68, No. 11, of the January 16, 2003, Federal Register (2351). The National Park Service has since determined that an Environmental Assessment (EA) rather than an EIS is the appropriate environmental documentation for the general management plan.
