SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental 
Policy Act of 1969, the National Park Service (NPS) announces the 
availability of the draft general management plan and environmental 
impact statement (GMP/EIS) for the First Ladies' National Historic Site 
(FILA).

DATES: The draft GMP/EIS will remain available for public review for 60 
days following the publishing of the notice of availability in the 
Federal Register by the Environmental Protection Agency. Public 
meetings will be announced in the local media.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the GMP/EIS are available by request by writing to 
the First Ladies National Historic Site, c/o Site Manager, 8095 Mentor 
Avenue, Mentor, Ohio 44060, by telephoning 440-974-2993 or by e-mail to

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Carol J. Spears, Site Manager, 
8095 Mentor Avenue, Mentor, Ohio 44060, telephone 440-974-2993, or 
Sharon Miles, Job Captain, Midwest Regional Office, 601 Riverfront 
Drive, Omaha, NE 68102-4226, telephone 402-661-1850.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FILA is owned by the NPS and operated by 
the National First Ladies' Library. The park encompasses the Ida Saxton 
McKinley House. The Education and Resource Center (formerly the City 
National Bank Building) is owned and operated by the National First 
Ladies' Library, and is part of the visitor experience at the park. The 
park was established to preserve and interpret the role and history of 
FILA.
    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 of organizations or businesses, available 
for public inspection in their entirety.

    Dated: November 4, 2004.

Regional Director, Midwest Region.
