FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Superintendent, Pea Ridge National 
Military Park, 15930 Highway 62, Garfield, Arkansas 72732, telephone 
417-732-2662.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NPS prepared a draft GMP/EIS for Pea 
Ridge, pursuant to the National Environmental Policy At of 1969. This 
draft was made available for public review for 60 days (December 2005 
to February 2006). Hard copy versions of the draft were distributed, 
and Pea Ridge made the draft EIS available on the Web, at the park, and 
in area libraries. A public presentation, attended by 25 participants, 
was held for the public to discuss and comment on the draft. The 
consensus of the public during the presentation was that the NPS would 
pursue the correct path for Pea Ridge by following Alternative 4, the 
preferred alternative. Comments from public agencies on the draft GMP/
EIS will not require the NPS to add other alternatives, significantly 
alter existing alternatives, or make changes to the impact analysis of 
effects for any of the alternatives. Thus, an abbreviated format is 
used for the responses to comments in the final EIS, in compliance with 
the implementing regulations (40 CFR 1503.4(c) for the National 
Environmental Policy At, and the NPS Director's Order 12.
