Notice of Intent To Prepare a Draft Environmental Impact 
Statement for Cumberland Island National Seashore, Georgia

SUMMARY: In accordance with Section 102(2)(c) of the National 
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (Public Law 91-190, as amended), the 
National Park Service (NPS) is preparing an Environmental Impact 
Statement (DEIS) for a General Management Plan Amendment, a Wilderness 
Management Plan, a Resource Management Plan (Cultural and Natural) and 
a Commercial Services Plan. The DEIS will evaluate the environmental 
consequences associated with the proposed actions and the other 
alternatives on management of wilderness, cultural and natural 
resources, and commercial services.

DATES: A public scoping meeting will be scheduled this summer. Time and 
place of the public meeting will be publicized in area newspapers. The 
DEIS will be available sometime in late summer.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To provide comments on this planning 
effort and to receive copies of the DEIS, please contact: Art 
Frederick, Superintendent, Cumberland Island National Seashore, P.O. 
Box 806, St. Marys, Georgia 31558, Telephone: (912) 882-4336.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Since June 1996 the NPS has been engaged in 
a process to determine the management of the island's wilderness. 
During the discussions concerning wilderness management, the NPS 
realized that the planning effort should broaden its focus. As a result 
the NPS has prepared a series of plans addressing the management of 
wilderness, cultural resources, natural resources, and commercial 
services.
    Our practice is to make comments, including names and home 
addresses of respondents, available for public review during regular 
business hours. Individual respondents may request that we withhold 
their home address from the rulemaking record which we will honor to 
the extent allowable by law. There also may be circumstances in which 
we would withhold from the rulemaking record a respondent's identity, 
as allowable by law. If you wish for us to withhold your name and/or 
address, you must state this prominently at the beginning of your 
comments. We will make all submissions from organizations or 
businesses, and from individuals identifying themselves as 
representatives or officials of organizations or businesses, available 
for public inspection in their entirety.

    Dated: May 11, 2000.
W. Thomas Brown,
Regional Director, Southeast Region.
