AGENCY: National Park Service, Department of the Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Termination of the Environmental Impact Statement for 
the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park, and Preserve, Chalmette 
Battlefield, and National Cemetery General Management Plan Amendment.

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

SUMMARY: The National Park Service (NPS) is terminating the 
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Jean Lafitte National 
Historical Park and Preserve, Chalmette Battlefield, and National 
Cemetery General Management Plan Amendment (GMPA). A Notice of Intent 
to prepare this EIS was published in the Federal Register on May 2, 
2003. After public scoping and a preliminary analysis of impacts 
related to the GMPA alternatives, the NPS determined that the impacts 
of the alternatives considered would be at or below the minor/
negligible level. Consequently, the EIS is not necessary and NPS 
decided to terminate the EIS. The NPS intends to continue the GMPA 
process by completing an Environmental Assessment.
