National Park Service June 16, 2006 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Pursuant to section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (Pub. L. 91-190, as amended), the National Park Service announces the availability of the Draft General Management Plan and Environmental Impact Statement (Draft GMP/EIS) for Flight 93 National Memorial, in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. Consistent with National Park Service laws, regulations, and policies, and the mission of Flight 93 National Memorial, the Draft GMP/EIS describes and analyzes two alternatives to guide the management of the national memorial over the next 15 to 20 years. The alternatives incorporate various management prescriptions to ensure protection and enjoyment of the park's resources. Alternative 1 is a no action alternative. Alternative 2 is the National Park Service's preferred alternative. Alternative 2 is based upon the selected design from the Flight 93 National Memorial International Design Competition. The Draft GMP/EIS evaluates potential environmental consequences of implementing the alternatives. Impact topics include cultural and natural resources, transportation, and the socioeconomic environment. This notice also announces that a public meeting will be held to solicit comments on the Draft GMP/EIS during the public review period.
