41084 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 128 / Monday, July 3, 2000 / Notices

When approved, the plan will guide

management actions during the next 15–

20 years which are necessary to protect

and enhance the ‘‘Outstandingly

Remarkable Values’’ (ORVs) for which

the river was designated, pursuant to

the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, as

amended (16 U.S.C. 1271).

Proposal: The proposed Merced River

Plan (Alternative 2—Preferred) would

provide management direction for the

Merced Wild and Scenic River by

establishing seven management

elements: ORVs, boundaries,

classifications, Section 7 determination,

River Protection Overlay (RPO),

management zoning, and research and

monitoring. The Wild and Scenic Rivers

Act requires the first four elements; the

final three elements were developed in

the Merced River Plan to respond to the

Act’s requirement to protect and

enhance ORVs. This plan modifies the

ORVs, boundaries and classifications

from the present situation to respond to

public comment, to more accurately

respond to the Wild and Scenic Rivers

Act, and to reflect updated information.

The proposed alternative presents the

management elements to guide future

decision-making and management

actions with the intent that natural

processes will prevail.

Alternatives: In addition to the

proposal, four other alternatives are

identified and analyzed. Alternative 1

(‘‘no action’’) is a continuation of the

existing situation, based on the ORVs,

boundaries, and classifications as

published in the 1996 Draft Yosemite

Valley Housing Plan/Supplemental EIS.

If approved, Alternative 1 will not

implement the three management

elements—establishment of a RPO,

management zoning, and a research and

monitoring program—that are not

required by the Act. Nor would it

present the specific Section 7

determination process outlined in the

proposed action.

Alternative 3 differs from the

proposed alternative (Alternative 2)

with regard to the boundaries,

classifications, and management zones.

The effect of the differences would

promote more resource protection, using

a narrower corridor in east Yosemite

Valley and in Wawona, within the river

corridor than under Alternative 2.

Alternative 4 varies from Alternatives

2 and 3 by presenting yet another

combination of boundaries,

classifications and management zoning.

Of the alternatives presented,

Alternative 4 would present the most

resource protection within the

developed areas along the Merced River.

Alternative 5 presents the same

boundaries and classifications as

Alternative 4, but with zoning that

would allow for more use and facilities

in developed areas than that presented

under any of the other action

alternatives. In addition, there would be

no river protection overlay under

Alternative 5, reducing the ability to

protect the areas immediately adjacent

to the Merced.

Planning Background: The draft and

final Merced River Plan/EIS were

prepared pursuant to the Wild and

Scenic Rivers Act and National

Environmental Policy Act. A Scoping

Notice was published in the Federal

Register on June 11, 1999; and the

Notice of Intent was published on

August 23, 1999. An intensive scoping

phase was undertaken during June and

July 1999, which included a series of six

public meetings. The invitation letter

requesting input into the development

of the draft Merced River Plan/EIS was

sent to the park’s general mailing list. In

addition, the scoping effort was

publicized via regional and local media

and on the park’s Webpage. As a result

of this outreach, over 330 responses

were received and used in the

development of issues upon which

preparation of the draft Merced River

Plan/EIS was based. A summary of the

scoping process is available on the

park’s Webpage (address noted below).

On January 7, 2000, a Notice of

Availability for the Draft Merced Wild

and Scenic River Comprehensive

Management Plan/EIS appeared in the

Federal Register. A press briefing was

held earlier the same week to raise

public awareness of the plan. Over 9000

plans were mailed to each person or

organization listed on the park’s mailing

list. A 70-day public comment period

began on January 14, 2000 and ended on

March 24, 2000. Fourteen public

hearings were held throughout the state

of California in January and February.

Local press was notified days in

advance of each meeting to help raise

awareness of the meetings. Yosemite

National Park management and

planning officials attended all sessions

to present the draft Merced River Plan/

EIS, to receive oral and written

comments, and to answer questions.

More than 2300 comments were

received by mail, fax, electronic mail,

recorded testimony, and other means.

Distribution of MRP/Final EIS: A postcard was mailed to all individuals and

organizations on the park’s general

mailing list to determine whether a

printed copy or a CD-ROM version (or

both) of the Merced River Plan/FEIS

should be mailed to the respective

address. Another option presented on

the postcard was to receive nothing by

mail, considering that the complete final

plan will be available on the park’s

website (http://www.nps.gov/yose/

planning). Still another option was to

receive a ‘‘user’s guide’’ after a Record

of Decision is signed. In view of these

options, the Merced River Plan/FEIS

will be mailed, in format requested,

until quantities are exhausted. Copies

will also be available at park

headquarters in Yosemite Valley, the

Warehouse Building in El Portal, and at

local and regional libraries (i.e., San

Francisco and Los Angeles).

Decision Process: Depending upon the

response from other agencies,

organizations and the general public, at

this time it is anticipated that the notice

of an approved Record of Decision

would be published in the Federal

Register not sooner than July 31, 2000

(nor would it be signed until at least 30

days have elapsed after publication by

the EPA of the filing notice for the Final

MRP/EIS). The official responsible for

the decision is the Regional Director,

Pacific West Region, National Park

Service; the official responsible for

implementation is the Superintendent,

Yosemite National Park.

Dated: June 23, 2000.

Patricia L. Neubacher,

Acting Regional Director, Pacific West Region.
