applicable. HUD expects that grantees 

should be making draw-downs at least 

quarterly. HUD will be looking at this 

for both new project applications and as 

a condition of renewal awards. 

8. Also as a reminder, up to 8 percent 

of an S+C grant may be used for eligible 

incurred administrative costs associated 

with administration of housing 

assistance. These funds must be drawn 

down at least quarterly. Draws must be 

for eligible expenses already incurred in 

the period immediately preceding the 

draw or to be incurred during the period 

immediately following the draw. HUD 

will recapture all unspent funds at the 

end of the grant term. If administrative 

costs exceed 8 percent, recipients must 

pay for these costs from another source. 

9. Beginning in 2009, applicants for 

the S+C program will be permitted to 

apply only for 100 percent of the Fair 

Market Rent (FMR) and will no longer 

be permitted to request any amount that 

is greater or less than the local FMR. 

10. The calculation of housing 

emphasis and leveraging for the CoC 

score will be calculated using only new 

project requests. 

11. For 2009, the Samaritan Bonus 

Initiative will be replaced with a 

Permanent Housing Bonus. CoCs will be 

able to use funds for homeless disabled 

individuals and families or for 

chronically homeless individuals. As 

creating new permanent housing beds 

for chronically homeless individuals is 

still a HUD priority, HUD strongly 

encourages CoCs to use at least a portion 

of available bonus funds to create a 

project that will exclusively serve the 

chronically homeless.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

Draft General Management Plan/ 

Wilderness Management Plan/Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement, 

Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, WI 

AGENCY: Department of the Interior, 

National Park Service. 

ACTION: Notice of availability of the 

Draft General Management Plan/ 

Wilderness Management Plan/Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement, 

Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, WI. 

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

of the National Environmental Policy 

Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(C)), the 

National Park Service (NPS) announces 

the availability of the Draft General 

Management Plan (GMP)/Wilderness 

Management Plan (WMP)/ 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

for Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, 

Wisconsin. 

This document provides a framework 

for management of Apostle Islands 

National Lakeshore and the Gaylord 

Nelson Wilderness, including its 

resources, visitors, and facilities, for the 

next 15–20 years. The document 

describes four alternatives for 

management of the park, including a noaction alternative, and analyzes the 

environmental impacts of those 

alternatives. 

The NPS preferred alternative would 

focus on providing opportunities for 

more people to have an island 

experience. Additional transportation 

opportunities would be sought to 

encourage visitors to come to Sand, 

Basswood, and Oak Islands. Some 

additional visitor facilities would be 

developed on these islands. There 

would be no change in the number of 

public docks in the park, but some 

docks would be relocated, improved, or 

expanded. The Bayfield Visitor Center 

would be moved closer to the water to 

improve contact with visitors and to be 

located with an operations center. The 

Little Sand Bay Visitor Center would be 

replaced with a visitor contact station. 

A new ranger station and accessible 

beach ramp would be developed at 

Meyers Beach. Two light stations would 

be restored or rehabilitated, similar to 

the Raspberry Island light station. The 

wilderness area would continue to be 

managed as it is now, with the 

exception of the Oak Island group 

campsite being removed and the site 

restored.
