Notice of Availability; Record of Decision, Marsh-Billings-
Rockefeller National Historical Park
AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.
ACTION: The National Park Service announces the availability of the
Record of Decision of the Final Impact Statement for the Marsh-
Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park General Management Plan.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The National Park Service has prepared the Record of Decision
of the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Marsh-Billings-
Rockefeller National Historical Park General Management Plan pursuant
to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and the regulations
promulgated by the Council on Environmental Quality at 40 CFR 1505.2. A
Record of Decision is a concise statement of the decision made, the
basis for the decision, and the background of the project, including
the decision making process, other alternatives considered, and public
involvement. Concurrent with adopting this Record of Decision on the
Final Environmental Impact Statement, Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller
National Historical Park General Management Plan is approved.
The National Park Service began planning for the management of
Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park in 1993. The
National Park Service presented and evaluated two management scenarios
(the Proposal and the Alternative) in a Draft General Management Plan/
Draft Environmental Impact Statement. The draft plan underwent sixty
days of public and interagency review. After considering public and
agency comment, the National Park Service produced the Final
Environmental Impact Statement, which was available to the public for
thirty days beginning on June 23, 1999. The National Park Service took
no action for the thirty-day period of public availability, after which
time the Park Service prepared the Record of Decision, selecting the
Proposal as the final plan. The Record of Decision is now approved and
available to the public.
Availability: Copies of the Record of Decision are available at
Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park, 54 Elm Street,
Woodstock, Vermont. For further information, please contact the
Superintendent, Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park, PO
Box 178, Woodstock, Vermont 05091; voice at (802) 457-3368; fax at
(802) 457-3405.
Dated: August 6, 1999.
