36 CFR Part 13


Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska; Commercial Fishing Regulations

AGENCIES: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Proposed Rule; extension of the public comment period.

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

SUMMARY: The National Park Service (NPS) announces that the public 
comment period for the proposed Glacier Bay National Park Commercial 
Fishing Regulations, published in the Federal Register on April 16, 
1997 (62 FR 18547), has been extended to May 15, 1998. The original 
comment period was through October 15, 1997. This extension will allow 
the NPS, in a forthcoming environmental assessment on commercial 
fishing within Glacier Bay National Park, to fully describe and analyze 
the potential effects of a range of alternative actions under 
consideration.
    The public review and comment period for the environmental 
assessment and the proposed rule coincide. The NPS will hold public 
meetings on the proposal and alternatives and publish a schedule of 
times, dates and locations in the Federal Register. No final decisions 
will be reached until all applicable legal requirements have been met, 
including environmental review requirements.

DATES: Comments on the proposed rule and environmental assessment will 
be accepted through May 15, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be addressed to: Superintendent, Proposed 
Regulations Comment, Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, PO Box 
140, Gustavus, Alaska 99826.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: J. M. Brady, Superintendent, Glacier 
Bay National Park and Preserve, PO Box 140, Gustavus, Alaska 99826,
