Marsh-Billings National Historical Park, Woodstock, VT; Intent To 
Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement and Notice of Public Scoping 
Period

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
(Pub. L. 91-109 section 102(2)(c)), the National Park Service (NPS) is 
preparing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Marsh-
Billings National Historical Park (Marsh-Billings NHP), located in 
Woodstock, Vermont. The purpose of the EIS is to assess the impacts of 
alternative management strategies which will be described in the 
General Management Plan for Marsh-Billings NHP. A range of alternatives 
will be formulated for natural and cultural resource protection, 
visitor use and interpretation, facilities development, and operations.
    The NPS will hold a series of community meetings throughout the 
spring of 1994, which will serve as public scoping for the GMP/EIS. The 
meetings, which will be announced through various local media will be 
held at various locations throughout the community. Additionally, the 
NPS will issue a community survey in May 1994. The purpose of these 
meetings and the survey is to obtain both written and verbal comments 
concerning the future development of Marsh-Billings NHP. Those persons 
who wish to comment verbally or in writing, who wish to participate in 
a small group meeting, or to complete a questionnaire should contact 
Marjorie Smith, Planning Team Captain, North Atlantic Region, National 
Park Service, 15 State Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109-3572, or 
telephone (617) 223-5133.
    The draft GMP/EIS is expected to be completed and available for 
public review in 1995. After public and interagency review of the draft 
document, comments will be considered, and a final EIS and Record of 
Decision will be prepared.
    The responsible official is Marie Rust, Regional Director, North 
Atlantic Region, National Park Service, 15 State Street, Boston, MA 
02109-3572.
