DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Natural Landmark 

Designations 

AGENCY: National Park Service, 

Department of the Interior. 

ACTION: Public Notice of National 

Natural Landmark Designations. 

SUMMARY: On January 16, 2009, then 

Secretary of the Interior Dirk 

Kempthorne designated the following 

National Natural Landmarks: Big Bone 

Lick, Boone County, Kentucky; Cave 

Without a Name, Kendall County, 

Texas; Chazy Fossil Reef, Grand Isle 

County, Vermont and Clinton County, 

New York; and Nottingham Park 

Serpentine Barrens, Chester County, PA 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. 

Margaret Brooks, National Natural 

Landmark Program Manager, at 520– 

791–6470. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Secretary of the Interior established the 

National Natural Landmarks Program in 

1962, under the authority of the Historic 

Sites Act of 1935 (16 U.S.C. 461 et seq.). 

The National Park Service manages this 

program using regulations found at 36 

CFR part 62. Potential natural 

landmarks are identified in studies by 

the NPS and from other sources, 

evaluated by expert natural scientists, 

and if determined nationally significant, 

designated as landmarks by the 

Secretary of the Interior. When 

designated, a landmark is included in 

the National Registry of Natural 

Landmarks, which currently lists 586 

National Natural Landmarks 

nationwide. Of the 586 listed 

landmarks, half are administered solely 

by public agencies; i.e., Federal, State, 

county or municipal governments. 

Nearly one-third are owned solely by 

private parties. 

National Natural Landmark 

designation is not a land withdrawal, 

does not change the ownership of an 

area, does not dictate activity, and does 

not imply a right of public access. 

However, Federal agencies should 

consider impacts to the unique 

properties of these nationally significant 

areas in carrying out their 

responsibilities under the National 

Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 

4321 et seq.). Designation could result 

in State or local planning or land use 

implications. National Natural 

Landmark preservation is made possible 

by the long-term, voluntary 

commitments of public and private 

owners to protect the outstanding values 

of the areas. Information on the National 

Natural Landmarks Program can be 

found in 36 CFR part 62 or on the 

Internet at http://www.nature.nps.gov/ 

nnl. 

Site Descriptions: 

The Big Bone Lick site is located 

within the State of Kentucky, southwest 

of Cincinnati, Ohio, and is unique in the 

Interior Low Plateaus for its 

combination of salt springs and 

associated late Pleistocene bone beds. 

Many types of animals, especially large 

herbivores, were attracted to the springs 

for salt, and became mired in the mud. 

The site became a burial ground over 

time. Layers of disarticulated bones 

have been uncovered to depths of 30 

feet. The site has been referred to as a 

major New World fossil locality, and

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 217 / Wednesday, November 10, 2010 / Notices 69121 

plays an important role in the 

development of scientific thought on the 

concept of extinction and the 

relationship of geology/paleontology. 

Cave Without a Name is located 

outside of Boerne, Texas, and is 

significant for some of the largest and 

best examples of speleothems in the 

Edwards Plateau region. Blue 

speleothems found in the cave are the 

only ones known to exist in Texas and 

are exceedingly rare nationally. The 

cave also contains a rich fauna and 

significant paleontological deposits. 

The Chazy Fossil Reef is a surface 

exposure of an Ordovician fossil reef, 

approximately 450 million years old. It 

is significant as the oldest known 

occurrence of a biologically diverse 

fossil reef, the earliest appearance of 

fossil coral in a reef environment, and 

the first documented example of the 

ecological principle of faunal 

succession. 

The Nottingham Park Serpentine 

Barrens site is an outstanding example 

of the serpentine barren natural feature 

in the Piedmont Upland region. This 

feature is characterized by thin soils that 

are high in concentrations of metals 

which are toxic to many plant species. 

The site supports shallow serpentine 

soils, rock outcrops, and unique 

vegetation communities, including 

serpentine grasslands and open savanna 

that contain rare and endemic species. 

The site is within a county park and is 

actively used for science and education.

Abstract: The America the Beautiful— 

the National Parks and Federal 

Recreational Lands Access Pass and 

Senior Passes are free, lifetime Passes 

issued by the Bureau of Land 

Management, the Bureau of 

Reclamation, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service, the U.S. Forest Service, and the 

National Park Service. The Interagency 

Access Pass is available to citizens or 

persons domiciled in the United States, 

regardless of age, who have a medical 

determination and documentation of 

permanent disability. The Interagency 

Senior Pass is available to citizens or 

persons domiciled in the United States 

who are 62 years of age or older. 

In the past, the processes to obtain 

these Passes required in-person 

application. The proposed revision to 

current policy creates processes for 

applicants to obtain either Pass through 

the mail. Standard Operating 

Procedures have been updated to reflect 

the change to allow applicants to submit 

applications by mail along with photo 

copies of identification verifying U.S. 

residency or citizenship and 

documentation of disability for the 

Interagency Access Pass or U.S. 

residency or citizenship, and age for the 

Interagency Senior Pass. The process for 

obtaining an Interagency Access or 

Senior Pass in person is not changing.

we solicited comments for 60 days, 

ending on August 9, 2010. We did not

that notice. 

We again invite comments concerning
