SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental 
Policy Act of 1969 the National Park Service announces the availability

U.S. Highway 80, and ending at the Alabama State Capitol in Montgomery. 
The document describes four management alternatives for consideration 
and analyzes the environmental impacts of those alternatives. These 
alternatives, including the preferred Alternative C, were presented in 
the draft EIS.

(ROD) no sooner than 30 days following publication of the Environmental 
Protection Agency's notice of availability in the Federal Register.
