PRESIDIO TRUST


Procedures for Implementing the National Environmental Policy Act

AGENCY: The Presidio Trust.

ACTION: Interim policy statement and notice of availability.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces the Presidio Trust's adoption of interim 
procedures and guidelines for implementing the National Environmental 
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA).
    The Presidio Trust assumed administrative jurisdiction of 
approximately 80% of the Presidio of San Francisco by transfer from the 
National Park Service on July 1, 1998. The National Park Service has 
adopted and ordinarily follows certain procedures and guidelines in 
fulfilling its obligations under NEPA, including the current versions 
of ``Standard Operating Procedure 601'' and ``NPS-12: National 
Environmental Policy Act Guidelines.'' In consultation with the Council 
on Environmental Quality, the Presidio Trust has adopted these National 
Park Service procedures and guidelines as its own interim procedures 
and guidelines for implementing NEPA, to the extent that the National 
Park Service procedures and guidelines do not conflict with the 
Presidio Trust Act or regulations of the Presidio Trust. These interim 
procedures and guidelines will remain in effect until such time as the 
Presidio Trust adopts final procedures and guidelines implementing 
NEPA.
    The Presidio Trust has adopted these interim procedures and 
guidelines pursuant to the Presidio Trust Act (Pub. L. 104-333, 110 
Stat. 4097 (16 U.S.C. 460bb note)), the National Environmental Policy 
Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), and regulations of the Council on 
Environmental Quality (40 CFR 1507.3).
    Copies of these procedures and guidelines, as well as the Presidio 
Trust's resolution adopting them, are available upon request to the 
Presidio Trust.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Karen A. Cook, General Counsel, The 
Presidio Trust, 34 Graham Street, P.O. Box 29052, San Francisco, 
California 94129-0052, Telephone: [phone].

    Dated: August 27, 1998.

General Counsel.
