SUMMARY: This Recreational Off-Road Vehicle Management Plan/Supplement 
to the Final Environmental Impact Statement (RORVMP/SFEIS) addresses 
management of recreational off-road vehicles (ORVs) in the original 
582,000 acres of the Big Cypress National Preserve and identifies and 
assesses potential impacts of alternative options for the management of 
ORVs in the preserve. The RORVMP/SFEIS describes management concerns 
which include the need to protect and restore natural resources while 
providing recreational ORV access to the preserve.

than 30 days from the appearance of the Environmental Protection 
Agency's notice in the Federal Register, a Record of Decision will be 
signed that will document the National Park Service decision regarding 
the RORVMP for the Big Cypress National Preserve, and identify the 
selected action from the alternatives presented in the SFEIS.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: It is the practice of the National Park 
Service 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 may also 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 comment. However, we will not 
consider anonymous 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.
