of Intent to Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement and Notice of 
Public Meetings

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
(Pub. L. 91-109 section 102 (c)), the National Park Service (NPS) is 
preparing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Fort Stanwix 
National Monument, located in Rome, Oneida County, New York. The 
purpose of the EIS is to assess the impacts of alternative management 
strategies which will be described in the General Management Plan (GMP) 
for Fort Stanwix National Monument. A range of alternatives will be 
formulated for cultural resource protection, visitor use and 
interpretation, facilities development, and operations.
    The NPS will hold a public meeting on June 9, 1999, 6:30 p.m., at 
the Rome Historical Society, 200 Church Street, Rome, New York 13440, 
to provide an opportunity for public input into the scoping for the 
GMP/EIS. A newsletter will be distributed through the local media, 
announcing the date, time and

general management plan process to date. The purpose of this meeting is

Joanne Arany, Planning Project Manager, Upstate New York Project 
Office, National Park Service, C/O SUNY-ESF, Room 331 Marshall Hall,

draft document comments will be considered and a final EIS followed by 
a Record of Decision will be prepared. The responsible official is Gary
