DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Final General Management Plan/Environmental Impact Statement; 
Haleakala National Park, Hawaii; Notice of Availability

    Summary: Pursuant to section 102(2)(C) of the National 
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (P.L. 91-190, as amended), the 
National Park Service, Department of Interior, has prepared a Final 
General Management Plan and Environmental Impact Statement (FGMP/EIS) 
that describes and analyzes a proposal and two alternatives for the 
future management, use, and development of Haleakala National Park, 
Maui County, Hawaii.
    The General Management Plan calls for acquiring lands adjacent to 
the park found to contain significant natural or cultural resources; 
this also will permit improvements in visitor access. The plan also 
calls for developing new facilities and the upgrading of existing 
facilities to improve the quality of visitor services. These 
improvements are needed to accommodate the substantial increases that 
have occurred in Haleakala's visitation over the past few decades. 
Additional research programs are also called for to refine and 
supplement the existing resource base data.
    The Draft General Management Plan/Environmental Impact Statement 
(DGMP/EIS) was released for public review on May 3, 1994 and the public 
comment period closed on July 30, 1994. Fifteen written comments were 
received. The FGMP/EIS incorporates minor modifications and 
clarifications in response to some of these comments, although no 
significant new issues or concerns were surfaced. The same proposal and 
alternatives were evaluated in the DGMP/EIS and the FGMP/EIS.
    Supplementary Information: The no-action period on this final 
general management plan and environmental impact statement will extend 
for 30 days after Notice of its availability is published by the 
Environmental Protection Agency in the Federal Register.
    For copies of the FGMP/EIS, or for further information, please 
contact: Superintendent, Haleakala National Park, P.O. Box 369, 
Makawao, Maui 96768.

    Dated: April 11, 1995.
