ACTION: Notice of availability of the decision notice (DN)/finding of 
no significant impact (FONSI) for the establishment and operation of 
the World War II Memorial in Washington, DC.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Council of Environmental Quality regulations 
and National Park Service (NPS) policy, NPS prepared an environmental 
assessment (EA) for the establishment of the World War II Memorial in 
Washington, DC. The availability of the EA for a 30-day public comment 
period was announced in the Federal Register on May 13, 1998. After the 
end of the 30-day public comment period, NPS selected the preferred 
alternative which is the proposed action, followed by a determination 
that the establishment of this memorial will not cause significant 
environmental impact (FONSI).
    The proposed action, this memorial, will be constructed at the 
Rainbow Pool site along 17th Street in West Potomac Park which is 
administered by the National Park Service. The World War II Memorial is 
being established by the American Battle Monuments Commission, an 
independent agency of the U.S. Government, pursuant to the 
Commemorative Works Act, 40 U.S.C. 1001 et seq.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Requests for copies of the DN/FONSI, or for 
any additional information, should be directed to: Mr. John G. Parsons,
