SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 102 (2)(C) 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 (GMP/EIS) for Saratoga National Historical Park, New 
York. Consistent with the park's mission, National Park Service policy, 
and other laws and regulations, the Draft GMP/EIS presents four 
alternatives to guide park management over the next 15 to 20 years. The 
alternatives incorporate various management prescriptions to ensure 
protection and public enjoyment of the park's resources. The report 
also evaluates potential environmental consequences of implementing the 
alternatives. Impact topics include cultural and natural resources, 
visitor experience, park operations, the socioeconomic environment, and 
impairment. Alternative D is the preferred alternative.

DATES: The Draft GMP/EIS will be on public review for 60 days from 1/2/
04 through 3/1/04. Public meetings will be held during this period and 
will be publicized in local media outlets.
