SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Council of Environmental Quality regulations
and National Park Service (NPS) policy, NPS prepared an environmental
assessment (EA) for the proposed land exchange, George Washington
Memorial Parkway, City of Alexandria and Arlington County, Virginia.
The availability of the EA for a 30-day public comment period was
announced in the Federal Register on June 8, 1999, 64 FR 30537. After
the end of the 30-day public comment period, NPS selected the preferred
alternative which is the proposed action, followed by a determination
that the proposed land exchange will not cause significant
environmental impact. The National Park Service is desirous of
acquiring the access rights to the George Washington Memorial Parkway
belonging to Commonwealth Atlantic Properties, Inc. (Commonwealth) in
the City of Alexandria, Virginia, as well as set-back and height
restrictions over 29.1 acres of land in Arlington County, Virginia,
currently owned by Commonwealth, and in return is willing to relinquish
the United States' interests in restricting the use of that 29.1 acres.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Requests for copies of the FONSI, or for any
additional information, should be directed to: Mr. John G. Parsons,
Associate Regional Director for Lands, Resources, and Planning,
