SUMMARY: The National Park Service, in cooperation with the Federal 
Highway Administration, has prepared a combined Stehekin River Corridor 
Implementation Plan, Lake Chelan National Recreation Area Land 
Protection Plan, and Draft Environmental Impact Statement (Plan/DEIS). 
The Plan/DEIS evaluates four alternatives for sustainable management of 
NPS facilities (e.g. roads, maintenance yard, trails, bridges) in 
response to flooding and erosion issues on the lower Stehekin River 
between High Bridge and Lake Chelan, outside of the Stephen Mather 
Wilderness. The original Notice of Availability (published in the 
Federal Register on September 7, 2010) announced a 90-day public 
comment period. In deference to requests from the public and interested 
organizations, the comment period has been extended for an additional 
thirty days.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: It will not be necessary for individuals, 
organizations, and agencies that have already commented to do so again. 
All other comments must now be postmarked or transmitted no later than 
February 11, 2011. Respondents wishing to comment electronically may do 
so online (http://www.nps.gov/noca/parkmgmt/srcip.htm), or letters may 
be submitted via regular mail to: Superintendent, Attn: Stehekin River 
Corridor Implementation Plan/DEIS, North Cascades National Park Service 
Complex, 810 State Route 20, Sedro Woolley, WA 98284.

online address noted above; to obtain a printed copy of the document

Stehekin, Washington on January 10, 2011 (5 p.m.-7 p.m., Golden West 
Visitor Center); and on January 12, 2011 in Sedro--Woolley, Washington 
(6 p.m.-8 p.m., North Cascades National Park Complex Headquarters).
