PRESIDIO TRUST


The Presidio of San Francisco, California; Extension of the 
Public Comment Period for the Draft Presidio Trust Implementation Plan 
and Draft Environmental Impact Statement

AGENCY: The Presidio Trust.

ACTION: Extension of public comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Presidio Trust (Trust) is extending the public comment 
period for the draft Presidio Trust Implementation Plan (PTIP) and 
draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) from September 25, 2001 to 
October 25, 2001 to provide additional opportunity for the public to 
review and comment on the draft PTIP and EIS. The draft PTIP is a 
proposed update to the July 1994 Final General Management Plan 
Amendment (GMPA) for the portion of The Presidio of San Francisco 
(Presidio) under the jurisdiction of the Trust. The PTIP EIS 
supplements the GMPA Environmental Impact Statement adopted by the 
National Park Service for the Presidio in 1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Trust, as lead agency, released and 
circulated for review to the public and commenting agencies the draft 
EIS for the PTIP on July 25, 2001. The Environmental Protection Agency 
(EPA) published a notice of the draft EIS in the Federal Register on 
July 27, 2001 (66 FR 39161). The Trust published a notice in the 
Federal Register on July 26, 2001 (66 FR 39058-59) regarding the 
availability of the draft EIS, where and how it could be reviewed, and 
the date and location of public hearings to comment on the document. 
The EPA notice and Trust notice initially provided for a 60-day comment 
period for the draft EIS ending September 25, 2001. In response to 
several requests for commenting organizations and other parties, the 
Trust is now extending this period by 30 days to October 25, 2001. The 
Trust is providing this longer 90-day review period to further enhance 
the opportunities for public and agency participation in the National 
Environmental Policy Act process for the PTIP.
