SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The draft report summarizes the status of 
several issues, including threats to bison, threats to cutthroat trout, 
water quality, and visitor use impacts, which raised the concerns of 
the World Heritage Committee in 1995 and led to the park's inclusion on 
the List of World Heritage in Danger that year. The World Heritage 
Committee removed Yellowstone National Park from the In Danger List in 
2003, and at that time requested that the United States submit a report 
to the Committee on the status of these issues every two years.
    Persons wishing to comment may do so by any one of several methods. 
They may mail comments to Suzanne Lewis, Superintendent, Yellowstone 
National Park, P.O. Box 168, Yellowstone National Park, WY 82190-0168.
