National Historic Site, North Carolina

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Availability.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to 42U.S.C. 4332(2)(C) of the National Environmental 
Policy Act of 1969, the National Park Service (NPS) announces the 
availability of the Record of Decision (ROD) for the General Management 
Plan (GMP) for Fort Raleigh National Historic Site (National Historic 
Site). On April 25, 2014, the Regional Director, Southeast Region, 
approved the ROD for the project.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Superintendent Barclay Trimble, Fort 
Raleigh National Historic Site, 1401 National Park Drive, Manteo, NC 
27954; telephone (252) 475-9030.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NPS evaluated three alternatives for 
managing use and development of the National Historic Site in the GMP 
Final

Environmental Impact Statement

    Alternative A--no action.
    Alternative B--The National Historic Site would greatly expand the 
scope of its partnerships through greater partner involvement in 
interpretation of the Roanoke Voyages. NPS staff would interpret other 
national historic site stories.
    Alternative C--The preferred alternative, would implement Section 3 
of Public Law 101-603, November 16, 1990 by increasing emphasis on 
research related to parkwide interpretive themes and legislative 
mandates. The National Historic Site would continue its partnership 
with the First Colony Foundation, establish partnerships with 
organizations that focus on natural and cultural resource topics, and 
include archeology as a significant aspect of the research program at 
the National Historic Site. Alternative C would provide a comprehensive 
park-wide approach to resource and visitor use management. Specific 
management zones detailing acceptable resource conditions, visitor 
experience, use levels, appropriate activities and development would be 
applied to historic site lands consistent with this concept. Under 
Alternative C most current cultural and natural resource management and 
preservation activities as well as visitor programs and opportunities 
will continue.
    The GMP will guide the management of the monument over the next 20+ 
years.
    The responsible official for this FEIS/GMP is the Regional 
Director, NPS Southeast Region, 100 Alabama Street SW., 1924 Building, 
Atlanta, Georgia 30303.

    Dated: June 18, 2014.
