National Park Service

 

Revision of National Environmental Policy Act Procedures; Request 
for Comments

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Revision of National Environmental Policy Act Procedures, 
Request for Comments.

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

SUMMARY: The National Park Service (NPS) is requesting comments from 
agencies and the public concerning potential revisions to its 
procedures under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). When 
revised such policies would apply to the activities of the National 
Park Service in administering units of the National Park System as well 
as other activities. Specifically sought are comments concerning 
requirements such as time limitations for public and other agency 
review and comment on potential environmental effects of NPS actions or 
other activities affecting NPS resources; what activities should be 
categorically excluded from the requirements of NEPA; and what 
activities should normally require preparation of Environmental Impact 
Statements; and how can integration of the requirements of NEPA be 
better integrated with other aspects of NPS planning such as General 
Management Plans, resource management plans and mining plans of 
operation. The NPS is interested in receiving comments on these and 
other aspects of its compliance under the NEPA and potential revisions 
to its existing NEPA policies.

DATES: Comments must be submitted in writing by October 31, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent to: National Park Service, 
Environmental Quality Division (774), P.O. Box 37127, Washington, D.C.
