General Management Plan; Haleakala National Park; Availability of 
Draft Environmental Impact Statement

Summary: Pursuant to Section 102 (2) (C) of the National Environmental 
Policy Act of 1969 (Pub. L. 91-190 as amended), the National Park 
Service, Department of the Interior, has prepared a draft environmental 
impact statement (DEIS) assessing the potential impacts of the proposed 
General Management Plan for Haleakala National Park, Maui County, 
Hawaii.
    The proposed action would add adjacent lands to the park containing 
significant natural and cultural resources to permit visitor access and 
to ensure the long term protection of park resources. The proposal also 
includes needed improvements to visitor services to be carried out 
through the development of a limited amount of new facilities and the 
upgrading of existing facilities. Research programs are also called for 
in the proposal to refine and supplement the existing resource data 
base.
    Two alternative plans are being considered. One is a no action 
alternative which calls for a continuation of current operations with 
no upgrading or development of park infrastructure. The other is a 
minimum requirements alternative which calls for the same level of 
facility upgrading and development as the proposal, but adds 
substantially less land.

Supplementary Information: Written comments on the draft general 
management plan and DEIS will be accepted until July 30, 1994. Public 
meetings on the draft plan will be scheduled at different locations on 
the Island of Maui, including Kahului and Hana, during the month of 
June. The times, dates, and specific locations of these meetings will 
be announced in local newspapers several weeks in advance. Park Service 
officials will be available at the meetings to present the plan, 
receive oral and written comments, and answer questions.
    Inquiries on the draft general management plan and DEIS should be 
directed to the Superintendent, Haleakala National Park, P.O. Box 369, 
Makawao, Maui, Hawaii 96768. The park telephone number is (808) 572-
9306. Copies of the draft Plan and DEIS are available at the park 
headquarters at the above address. Copies are also available for 
inspection at public libraries on Maui, at the State Library in 
Honolulu, and at the Western Regional Office, National Park Service, 
600 Harrison St., suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107-1372.
