AGENCY: National Park Service, Department of the Interior.

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an environmental impact statement 
for the California and Pony Express National Historic Trails General 
Management Plan/Environmental Impact Statements, California and Pony 
Express National Historic Trails.

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

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act, 
the National Park Service is preparing an environmental impact 
statement for the California and Pony Express National Historic Trails 
General Management Plan/Environmental Impact Statement for California 
and Pony Express National Historic Trails.
    The effort will result in a comprehensive general management plan 
that encompasses preservation of natural and cultural resources, 
visitor use and interpretation, roads, and facilities. In cooperation 
with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S.D.A. Forest Service, 
Bureau of Land Management, and the sovereign Native American Tribes 
with lands adjacent to the trails, attention will also be given to 
resources adjacent to the trails that affect the integrity of the 
California and Pony Express National Historic Trails. Alternatives to 
be considered include no-action and a range of alternatives from which 
the preferred alternative will be selected.
    Major issues include cooperative agreements with land management 
agencies and private land owners for visitor use and trial 
preservation; identification of historic sites and trail segments; 
development of a consistent management strategy for the trails, which 
can be easily implemented by land owners and land management agencies.
    A scoping brochure has been prepared that details the issues 
identified to date. Copies of that information can be obtained from the 
Denver Service Center (TCE), Attn: Patrick O'Brien, P.O. Box 25287, 
Denver, Colorado 80225-0287; (303) 969-2458.
