SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Fallen Timbers Battlefield and Fort 
Miamis National Historic Site is an affiliated area of the national 
park system, managed by the Metropolitan Park District of the Toledo 
Area. The park consists of three units, the Fallen Timbers Battlefield, 
the Fallen Timbers State Monument, and Fort Miamis. The park 
commemorates an important period in the development of the United 
States and the opening of the northwest frontier. It represents the 
culminating event that demonstrated the tenacity of the American people 
in their quest for western expansion and the struggle for dominance in 
the Old Northwest Territory.
    The purpose of the general management plan is to set forth the 
basic management philosophy for the park and to provide strategies for 
addressing issues and achieving identified management objectives. The 
GMP/EIS describes and analyzes the environmental impacts of the 
proposed action and two other action alternatives for the future 
management direction of the park. A no action alternative is also 
evaluated.
    Our practice is to make comments, including names and home 
addresses of respondents, available for public review. Individual 
respondents may

request that we withhold their home address from the record, which we 
will honor to the extent allowable by law. There may also be 
circumstances where 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 or 
organizations or businesses, available for public inspection in their 
entirety.

    Dated: February 23, 2004.
Ernest Quintana,
Regional Director, Midwest Region.
