Apostle Islands National Lakeshore General Management Plan, 
Environmental Impact Statement, Wisconsin; Correction

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare a general management plan and 
environmental impact statement for Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, 
Wisconsin; correction.

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

SUMMARY: In the September 3, 2004, Federal Register, the National Park 
Service (NPS) announced its intent to prepare a general management plan 
and environmental impact statement (GMP/EIS) for Apostle Islands 
National Lakeshore (APIS). After the scoping period for the GMP/EIS 
ended, on December 8, 2004, Congress officially designated wilderness 
in the park. While wilderness management was intended to be part of the 
proposed planning process, the NPS will incorporate the requirements of 
a wilderness management plan into the general management plan now that 
Congress has made the official designation.

Correction: The APIS GMP/EIS will incorporate all of the elements 
necessary for a wilderness management plan. This action will not change 
the focus or scope of the GMP/EIS.

Resource Management, Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, Route 1, Box
