SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Currently, there is limited cellular service 
in the Wahweap Resort area, which receives over 1,000,000 visitors per 
year. The cellular antennas are to be installed on the roof of the 
Rainbow Room Restaurant. The Rainbow Room Restaurant is a non-historic 
structure in the Lake Powell Resort developed area. The proposed site 
includes six 51 inch by 13 inch by 3 inch rectangular panel antennas 
mounted on the roof of the Rainbow Room Restaurant and nearby ground 
mounted associated radio equipment shielded by a cedar privacy fence 
matching existing fencing. The antennas will protrude approximately 50 
inches above the existing roof line. The antenna panels will be painted 
to match the Lake Powell Resort color scheme. Neither the antennas nor 
the associated equipment will have any adverse effects on the area's 
scenery or visual resources.
    The staff at Glen Canyon National Recreation Area has completed a 
review and analysis pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act 
(NEPA), the National Historic Preservation Act, the Telecommunications 
Act of 1996, and National Park Service requirements, policy and 
regulations. The NPS has categorically excluded this proposal from 
further analysis under NEPA, and has determined that there will not be 
any adverse effects or impairment to the park's natural and cultural 
resources. Copies of the NPS analysis and NEPA documents are available 
at Glen Canyon NRA, 691 Scenic View Drive, Page, AZ 86040, or can be 
requested by writing to Glen Canyon NRA, Attention Stan Burman, PO Box 
1507, Page, AZ 86040, or by going to http://parkplanning.nps.gov/glca.
