SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Council of Environmental Quality regulations 
and National Park Service (NPS) policy, NPS prepared an environmental 
assessment (EA) for the proposed land exchange, George Washington 
Memorial Parkway, City of Alexandria and Arlington County, Virginia. 
The availability of the EA for a 30-day public comment period was 
announced in the Federal Register on June 8, 1999, 64 FR 30537. 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 proposed land exchange will not cause significant 
environmental impact. The National Park Service is desirous of 
acquiring the access rights to the George Washington Memorial Parkway 
belonging to Commonwealth Atlantic Properties, Inc. (Commonwealth) in 
the City of Alexandria, Virginia, as well as set-back and height 
restrictions over 29.1 acres of land in Arlington County, Virginia, 
currently owned by Commonwealth, and in return is willing to relinquish 
the United States' interests in restricting the use of that 29.1 acres.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Requests for copies of the FONSI, or for any 
additional information, should be directed to: Mr. John G. Parsons, 
Associate Regional Director for Lands, Resources, and Planning, 
National Capital Region, National Park Service, 1100 Ohio Drive, SW,
