36 CFR Part 13
Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska; Commercial Fishing Regulations
AGENCIES: National Park Service, Interior.
ACTION: Proposed Rule; extension of the public comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The National Park Service (NPS) announces that the public
comment period for the proposed Glacier Bay National Park Commercial
Fishing Regulations, published in the Federal Register on April 16,
1997 (62 FR 18547), has been extended to May 15, 1998. The original
comment period was through October 15, 1997. This extension will allow
the NPS, in a forthcoming environmental assessment on commercial
fishing within Glacier Bay National Park, to fully describe and analyze
the potential effects of a range of alternative actions under
consideration.
The public review and comment period for the environmental
assessment and the proposed rule coincide. The NPS will hold public
meetings on the proposal and alternatives and publish a schedule of
times, dates and locations in the Federal Register. No final decisions
will be reached until all applicable legal requirements have been met,
including environmental review requirements.
DATES: Comments on the proposed rule and environmental assessment will
be accepted through May 15, 1998.
ADDRESSES: Comments should be addressed to: Superintendent, Proposed
Regulations Comment, Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, PO Box
140, Gustavus, Alaska 99826.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: J. M. Brady, Superintendent, Glacier
Bay National Park and Preserve, PO Box 140, Gustavus, Alaska 99826,
