Notice of Termination of Preparation of an Environmental Impact 
Statement for the Special Resource Study for the Delaware Coastal Area 
in the State of Delaware

AGENCY: National Park Service, Department of the Interior.

ACTION: Termination of preparation of an environmental impact 
statement.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces the termination of the process to 
develop an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Special 
Resource Study for the Delaware Coastal Area. The study area includes 
the coastal regions of the state of Delaware. A Notice of Intent to 
Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement was published in the Federal 
Register on May 31, 2007.
    Subsequent scoping did not reveal the potential for significant 
adverse impacts or controversy; therefore, it was determined that an EA 
would suffice to address National Environmental Policy Act requirements 
for this study.
    The Delaware National Coastal Special Resource Study and 
Environmental Assessment was made available for public review starting 
12/1/2008, and the comment period ended 12/31/2008. Based on the 
results of public comments, a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) 
was prepared for review and approval by the NPS Northeast Regional 
Director.
    The study report can be viewed at the NPS Planning, Environment and 
Public Comment (PEPC) Web site at: http://parkplanning.nps.gov/.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Terrence Moore, Chief of Park Planning 
and Compliance, National Park Service, Northeast Region, 200 Chestnut 
Street, 3rd Floor, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

    Dated: November 20, 2008.

Director, Northeast Region, National Park Service.
