    Pursuant to section 102(2) of the National Environmental Policy Act 
of 1969, the National Park Service announces the availability of the 
draft general management plan/draft environmental impact statement 
(DGMP/DEIS) for the Little Rock Central High School National Historic

DGMP/DEIS.

DATES: There will be a 60 day public review period for comments on this 
document. Comments on the DGMP/DEIS must be received by December 26, 
2001, or 60 days after the Environmental Protection Agency publishes 
its notice of availability in the Federal Register, whichever date is 
later. Public open houses for information about, or to make comment on 
the DGMP/DEIS will be held on November 13, 2001, in Little Rock, 
Arkansas. Information about time and place will be available by 
contacting the park's visitor center at 501-374-1957.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Superintendent, Little Rock Central

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As established, the Historic Site consists 
of lands and interests therein comprising the Central High School 
campus and adjacent properties in Little Rock, Arkansas. Congress 
established the Historic Site to preserve, protect, and interpret for 
the benefit, education, and inspiration of present and future 
generations, Central High School and its role in the integration of 
public schools and the development of the Civil Rights movement in the 
United States.
    The purpose of the general management plan is to set forth the 
basic management philosophy for the Historic Site and to provide the 
strategies for addressing issues and achieving identified management 
objectives. The DGMP/DEIS describes and analyzes the environmental 
impacts of a proposed action and three action alternatives for the 
future management direction of the Historic Site. A no action 
alternative is also evaluated.
    Persons wishing to comment may do so by any one of several methods. 
They may attend the open houses noted above. They may mail comments to 
Superintendent, Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site, 
Federal Building, Box 3527, 700 West Capitol Ave., Little Rock, AR 
72201. They also may comment via e-mail to [email protected] (include 
name and return address in the e-mail message). Finally, they may hand-
deliver comments to the Little Rock Central High School National 
Historic Site visitor center at 2125 Daisy L. Gatson Bates Drive, 
Little Rock, AR 72201. The NPS' 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 record, which we will honor to 
the extent allowable by law. There also may be circumstances in which 
we would withhold from the record a respondent's identity, as allowable 
by law. If you wish 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.
    The responsible official is Mr. William Schenk, Midwest Regional 
Director, National Park Service.
