Notice of Availability of a Record of Decision on the Final 
Environmental Impact Statement for the Dayton Aviation Heritage 
National Historical Park General Management Plan Amendment

AGENCY: National Park Service, Department of the Interior.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental 
Policy Act of 1969, 83 Stat. 852, 853, the National Park Service (NPS) 
announces the availability of the Record of Decision (ROD) on the Final 
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Dayton Aviation Heritage 
National Historical Park General Management Plan Amendment, Dayton 
Aviation Heritage National Historical Park, Ohio. On May 16, the 
Regional Director, Midwest Region, approved the ROD for the project. As 
soon as practicable, the NPS will begin to implement the Preferred 
Alternative contained in the Final EIS issued on April 13.
    The following course of action will occur under the Preferred 
Alternative. The park will continue to serve traditional visitors to 
national parks; however, the primary goal will be to increase regional 
involvement, particularly in interpretation, education, and outreach. 
Visitors can expect an active participatory experience that will 
broaden and expand the park's literary and aviation significance. There 
will be a new at-grade entrance to the Huffman Prairie Flying Field and 
a maintenance facility shared by the park and partners.
    This course of action and two other alternatives were analyzed in 
the Draft and Final EIS. The full range of foreseeable environmental 
consequences was assessed and appropriate mitigating measures were 
identified.
    The ROD includes a statement of the decision made, synopses of 
other alternatives considered, the basis for the decision, a 
description of the environmentally preferable alternative, a finding on 
impairment of park resources and values, a listing of measures to 
minimize environmental harm, an overview of public involvement in the 
decisionmaking process, and a conclusion.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Superintendent Lawrence Blake, Dayton 
Aviation Heritage National Historical Park, 16 South Williams Street, 
Dayton, Ohio 45402, telephone 937-225-7705.
