BILLING CODE 4310–W7–P 

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

Notice of Availability of a Record of 

Decision for the Fort King Special 

Resource Study 

SUMMARY: Congress, in the Interior 

Appropriations Act of 2000, authorized 

the Fort King Special Resource Study 

and Final Environmental Impact 

Statement (‘‘Study’’). The legislation 

directed the National Park Service (NPS) 

to determine whether Fort King is 

nationally significant and, if so, whether 

it is suitable and feasible as a new unit 

of the National Park System. 

Acknowledging the site’s National 

Historic Landmark (NHL) status, the 

Study determined that Fort King is 

nationally significant. In addition, the 

Study determined that Fort King is 

suitable and feasible for inclusion in the 

National Park System because its 

interpretive themes are 

underrepresented in the current system 

and the property is of sufficient size and 

shape to protect resources and 

accommodate public use. The study 

does not, however, propose an active 

NPS management role at the site. 

Rather, existing programs such as Save 

America’s Treasures and Preserve 

America are used to exemplify the types 

of NPS assistance available to future 

non-Federal managers of the Fort King 

property. 

The Final Study was distributed for 

public review in August 2006. The NPS 

has prepared a Record of Decision 

(ROD) on the Study to document the 

decision made, the background of the 

project, other alternatives considered, 

the basis for the decision, the 

environmentally preferable alternative, 

and the public involvement in the 

decision-making process.
