Draft Environmental Impact Statement for General Management Plan; 
Olympic National Park; Notice of Extension of Public Comment Period

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental 
Policy Act of 1969 (Pub. L. 91-190 as amended), the National Park 
Service, Department of the Interior, has prepared a Draft Environmental 
Impact Statement (DEIS), which will serve as the ``blueprint'' to guide 
management, research, and other activities in Olympic National Park, 
Washington, during the next 15-20 years. The park's Notice of 
Availability of the DEIS was published in the Federal Register on July 
14, 2006, with the original public review period set to conclude on 
September 15, 2006. In response to public interest expressed to date 
and with regard for the timing of the original release, the public 
review period has been extended two additional weeks.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Interested individuals, organizations, and 
agencies are encouraged to provide written comments--to be considered 
any response must now be postmarked or transmitted no later than 
September 30, 2006. Persons wishing to comment may do so by one of 
several ways. Responses are encouraged online using the electronic 
comment form accessed at the NPS Park Planning website (http://parkplanning.nps.gov), or by e-mail to [email protected]. Written 
comments can be mailed to Olympic National Park General Management 
Plan, National Park Service, Denver Service Center, P.O. Box 25287, 
Denver, Colorado 80225; or faxed to (303) 969-2736. Comments may be 
hand delivered during normal business hours to the headquarters office 
of Olympic National Park located at 600 East Park Avenue, Port Angeles, 
WA 98362. To obtain a copy of the DEIS please contact the park at the 
address noted above, or via telephone at (360) 565-3004.
    Our practice is to make comments, including names, home addresses, 
home phone numbers, and email addresses of respondents, available for 
public review. Individual respondents may request that we withhold 
their names and/or home addresses, etc., but if you wish us to consider 
withholding this information you must state this prominently at the 
beginning of your comments. In addition, you must present a rationale 
for withholding this information. This rationale must demonstrate that 
disclosure would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of privacy. 
Unsupported assertions will not meet this burden. In the absence of 
exceptional, documentable circumstances, this information will be 
released. We will always make submissions from organizations or 
businesses, and from individuals identifying themselves as 
representatives of or officials of organizations or businesses, 
available for public inspection in their entirety.

    Dated: August 24, 2006.
Patricia L. Neubacher,
Acting Regional Director, Pacific West Region.
