Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site, Dutchess, 
New York; Notice of Availability of Draft Environmental Assessment and 
Master Plan Amendment

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and Section 106 of the Historic Preservation Act of 1966, the National 
Park Service (NPS) has prepared a Draft Master Plan Amendment/
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt 
NHS, located in Dutchess County, New York. The purpose of the EA is to 
describe plans to build a visitor and education/conference center 
jointly with the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) to 
serve the Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt NHS and the Franklin D. 
Roosevelt Library. Appended to the EA is a Memorandum of Agreement 
(MOA), in draft, guiding historic preservation in the development of 
the project. The EA describes the alternatives for the proposed center. 
The EA will serve to update the 1977 Master Plan and Final 
Environmental Impact Statement for the Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt 
NHS with respect to visitor orientation and parking. Further, the EA 
provides an analysis of the environmental consequences of the 
alternatives. The alternatives are compared and contrasted in terms of 
their impacts on the cultural, historic, and natural environment.
    Copies of the document are available for review at the following 
locations:

--Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt NHS, 4097 Albany Post Rd., Hyde Park, 
NY

meeting will be held at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library, 4079 Albany 
Post Rd., Hyde Park, New York, and will include opportunities for
