AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Availability.

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

SUMMARY: The National Park Service announces the availability of the 
Abbreviated Final General Management Plan and Environmental Impact 
Statement for Lincoln Home National Historic Site, Illinois.

DATES: The Abbreviated Final General Management Plan and Environmental 
Impact Statement (GMP/EIS) will remain available for public review for 
30 days following the publishing of the notice of its availability in 
the ``Federal Register'' by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

ADDRESSES: Send requests for copies to the Superintendent, Lincoln Home 
National Historic Site, 413 South Eighth Street, Springfield, IL 62701-

Historic Site.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the National Park Service, prepared a 
draft GMP/EIS for the park pursuant to section 102(2)(C) of the 
National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. The draft was made available 
for public review for 60 days (June-August 2010) during which time we 
distributed over 1020 summaries of the draft GMP/EIS. In addition to 
the distribution, the draft GMP/EIS was also made available at the 
park, on the Internet, and at area libraries. A total of 39 comments 
were received; 35 at the public meetings, and 4 in writing. A total of 
45 participants attended 4 public meetings. The consensus from the 
public comment period was that we are pursuing the correct path for the 
park in Alternative 2, the preferred alternative. Comments from 
individuals and public agencies did not require us to add other 
alternatives, significantly alter existing alternatives, or make 
changes to the impact analysis of the effects of any alternative. As a 
result of the lack of substantive comments, we are issuing an 
abbreviated final GMP/EIS.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The Superintendent, Lincoln Home 
National Historic Site, 413 South Eighth Street, Springfield, IL, 
62701-1905, telephone (217) 391-3222.
