traders, to a World War II outpost. The 

Izembek Wilderness covers much of the 

refuge and includes pristine streams, 

extensive wetlands, steep mountains, 

tundra, and sand dunes, and provides 

high scenic, wildlife, and scientific 

values, as well as outstanding 

opportunities for solitude and primitive 

recreation. 

The King Cove Corporation is an 

Alaska Native Village Corporation 

established under the Alaska Native 

Claims Settlement Act of 1971 (ANCSA; 

43 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) Under the 

authority of ANCSA, Congress granted 

to King Cove Corporation land 

entitlements within and adjacent to 

Izembek Refuge. The State of Alaska 

also owns lands, submerged lands, 

shorelands, and tidelands within and 

adjacent to Izembek and Alaska 

Peninsula Refuges, including the 

Izembek State Game Refuge. 

Alaska Maritime National Wildlife 

Refuge stretches from the Arctic Ocean 

to the southeast panhandle of Alaska 

and protects breeding habitat for 

seabirds, marine mammals, and other 

wildlife on more than 2,500 islands, 

spires, rocks, and coastal headlands. 

Sitkinak Island, which lies within the 

boundaries of the Alaska Maritime 

National Wildlife Refuge, is primarily 

owned by the State of Alaska, with two 

parcels owned by the Service. 

In the Omnibus Public Land 

Management Act of 2009 (H.R. 146, 

Subtitle E; the Act), Congress directs us 

to prepare an EIS under the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as 

amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and its 

implementing regulations (40 CFR parts 

1500–1508) to evaluate the impacts of a 

proposed land exchange with the State 

of Alaska and the King Cove 

Corporation for the purpose of 

constructing a single-lane gravel road 

between the communities of King Cove 

and Cold Bay, Alaska. The land 

exchange would involve the removal of 

approximately 206 acres within the 

Izembek Wilderness portion of Izembek 

National Wildlife Refuge for the road 

corridor and approximately 1,600 acres 

of Federal land within the Alaska 

Maritime National Wildlife Refuge on 

Sitkinak Island. In exchange, we would 

receive approximately 43,093 acres of 

land owned by the State of Alaska and 

approximately 13,300 acres of land 

owned by the King Cove Corporation. 

These lands are located around Cold 

Bay and adjacent to the North Creek 

Unit of Alaska Peninsula National 

Wildlife Refuge. 

The preparation of this EIS is to begin 

not later than 60 days after the Secretary 

receives notification by the State and 

the King Cove Corporation of their 

intention to exchange lands in 

accordance with the Act. The Secretary 

received notification by the King Cove 

Corporation on May 19, 2009, and by 

the State of Alaska on June 19, 2009. 

This notice initiates the process and 

opens the period for public scoping. 

Formal public involvement activities 

will begin when we receive funds 

appropriated to support this effort. At 

that time we will announce additional 

public involvement activities. 

In accordance with Section 

6402(b)(2)(B) of the Act, the EIS will 

analyze the proposed land exchange and 

the potential construction and operation 

of a road between the communities of 

King Cove and Cold Bay, Alaska, and 

will evaluate a specific road corridor 

through the Izembek Refuge that will be 

identified in consultation with the State 

of Alaska, the City of King Cove, and the 

Agdaagux Tribe of King Cove. The 

alternatives anticipated at this time 

include the existing situation (no land 

exchange or road construction) and the 

proposed land exchange and road 

construction and operation as outlined 

in the Act. In preparing the EIS, the 

Service will solicit comments from 

public locally, regionally, and 

nationally. As required in the Act, 

subsequent to the preparation of the EIS 

and in conjunction with the Record of 

Decision, the Secretary of the Interior 

will determine whether the land 

exchange (including the construction of 

the proposed road) is in the public 

interest. 

Public Availability of Comments 

Before including your address, phone 

number, e-mail address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you can ask us to withhold it 

from public review, we cannot 

guarantee we will be able to do so.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Notice of Availability for the Record of 

Decision on the Final General 

Management Plan/Environmental 

Impact Statement, Minuteman Missile 

National Historic Site, South Dakota 

AGENCY: Department of the Interior, 

National Park Service. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 102(2)(C) 

of the National Environmental Policy 

Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4332(C)), the 

National Park Service (NPS) announces 

the availability of the Record of 

Decision (ROD) for the Final General 

Management Plan (GMP)/Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS), Minuteman 

Missile National Historic Site, South 

Dakota. On July 2, the acting regional 

director for the NPS Midwest Region 

approved the ROD for the Final GMP/ 

EIS. As soon as practicable, the NPS 

will begin to implement the selected 

alternative. 

The selected alternative, with the 

concept of presenting the national 

historic site as a symbol of the Cold 

War, will restore Delta One to its readyalert status and rehabilitate Delta Nine 

to its stand-down appearance. These 

facilities will be presented as symbols 

commemorating the history and 

significance of the Cold War, the arms 

race, and the intercontinental ballistic 

missile in the second half of the 20th 

century. 

The selected alternative includes 

locating a 7,700-square-foot visitor/ 

administrative facility northwest of exit 

131 on Interstate 90, built in two stages. 

Under the selected alternative, visitors 

will drive their personal cars to the 

Delta One facility and, with 

reservations, go on a ranger-led tour. 

Visitors will also drive their personal 

cars to Delta Nine for a self-guided tour. 

A shuttle system to Delta One will be 

developed for operation when the level 

of visitation warrants. The chain link 

security gate at Delta One will remain 

locked during business hours except 

during shuttle tours. The gate at Delta 

Nine will remain open during business 

hours. 

Visitors benefit from this plan because 

of a rich range of options to see and 

learn about the missile sites as symbols 

that commemorate the Cold War, 

including guided tours, onsite 

interpretive media, and interpretive 

programs at the visitor/administrative 

facility. 

The ROD includes a statement of the 

decision made, synopses of other 

alternatives considered, the basis for the 

decision, a description of the 

environmentally preferable alternative, 

a finding on impairment of park 

resources and values, a listing of 

measures to minimize environmental 

harm, and an overview of public 

involvement in the decision-making 

process.
