1For purposes of this investigation, Commerce

has defined the subject merchandise as ‘‘solid,

fertilizer grade ammonium nitrate products,

whether prilled, granular or in other solid form,

with or without additives or coating, and with a

bulk density equal to or greater than 53 pounds per

cubic foot. Specifically excluded from this scope is

solid ammonium nitrate with a bulk density less

than 53 pounds per cubic foot (commonly referred

to as industrial or explosive grade ammonium

nitrate.)’’

‘‘open house’’. All public meetings

received coverage by local and regional

media sources. Monument neighbors

have been involved throughout the

process.

The GMP planning team contacted the

Pawnee Tribe of Oklahoma in an

attempt to identify tribal concerns

relative to this GMP/EIS. In addition,

comments were sought through

extensive mailings of newsletters and

media coverage. No response was

received from the tribe. Because of the

Pawnee’s long-standing cultural

affiliation with this area of Nebraska,

the NPS will continue to keep the tribe

informed of important stages of this

planning process and of plans to

implement the preferred alternative

throughout the GMP planning process.

Over 600 news letters announcing the

Draft General Management Plan and

Environmental Impact Statement for

Homestead National Monument of

America were mailed May 4, 1999. More

than 200 copies of the full draft

document were distributed to agencies,

organizations and individuals. The

document was also made available to

the general public at the Beatrice Public

Library and at Homestead National

Monument of America. The National

Park Service conducted two public

meetings in May 1999, one meeting was

held at the Beatrice Public Library May

25 while the second meeting was held

at the Charles H. Gere Library in

Lincoln, Nebraska May 26. An

additional public open house was held

June 29, 1999 at Homestead National

Monument of America to discuss the

Draft General Management Plan/

Environmental Impact Statement.

The Beatrice public meeting had 43

people in attendance; 14 people

attended the Lincoln public meeting.

One person attended the meeting held

in June, at Homestead National

Monument of America.

A 60-day review period (May 4, 1999

through July 10, 1999) was designated

for receiving comments on the draft

plan and EIS. Fifteen written comments

were received. At the end of the review

period, the comments were reviewed

and substantive comments were

identified. The Final General

Management Plan (FGMP) and an

Abbreviated Final Environmental

Impact Statement (AFEIS) were made

available to the public on November 21,

1999. The 30-day no action period

required by NEPA regulations

commenced on that date.

Approximately 39 copies of the FGMP/

AFEIS were distributed to agencies,

local governments, organizations,

persons who commented on the draft

GMP, and others who requested the

document. The FGMP/AFEIS contains a

complete summary of the public

involvement process and substantive

comments received.

Conclusion

A notice of availability for the FGMP/

AFEIS was published by the

Environmental Protection Agency in the

Federal Register on November 6, 1998.

The 30-day no-action period ended on

December 20, 1999. No public

comments were received during the no

action period.

The above factors and considerations

justify the selection of the final plan, as

described as Alternative C, Option 1, in

the Final Environmental Impact

Statement. The Final General

Management Plan is hereby approved.

Dated: December 22, 1999.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background.—The final phase of this
