research, controlling threats, increasing

numbers on Nihoa, and exploring the

feasibility and desirability of

establishing the taxa on other Hawaiian

islands.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

National Park Service

Keweenaw National Historical Park,

Draft Environmental Impact Statement/

General Management Plan

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of availability of draft

environmental impact statement and

General Management Plan for the

Keweenaw National Historical Park,

located in Houghton County, Michigan.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 102(2)(c)

of the National Environmental Policy

Act of 1969, the National Park Service

(NPS) announces the availability of the

Draft Environmental Impact Statement

(DEIS) and General Management Plan

(GMP) for the Keweenaw National

Historical Park. The DEIS responds to

Public Law 102–543, establishing

Keweenaw National Historical Park.

This notice also announces public

meetings for the purpose of receiving

public comments on the DEIS.

This DEIS for the GMP presents a

proposal and three alternative strategies

for guiding future management of the

national historical park and balancing

resource protection and public use. The

major subject areas are, cultural

resources, visitor experience, park

management and operations, and the

establishment of a public partnership.

Alternative 1 presents a continuation

of existing trends and management, and

projects these conditions into the

foreseeable future, providing a basis to

evaluate the other alternatives.

Alternative 2, the ‘‘community

assistance alternative,’’ would place the

community at the forefront of

implementing preservation actions and

interpretive programs at sites in the

park. The NPS would play a major

support role, providing a

comprehensive program of technical

and financial assistance to the

community to help make their actions a

success. Under alternative 3, the

‘‘traditional park in the core industrial

areas’’ alternative, the NPS would

establish a very visible and traditional

presence in the core industrial areas in

each unit. The NPS would lease or

acquire one or more buildings in each

unit for visitor use and administration

services. Other significant properties

within the core industrial areas of the

Calumet and Quincy units could be

leased or purchased and interpreted

when funding and staffing levels were

adequate. The proposed action

(alternative 4) is a blend of the

community assistance alternative,

number 2, and a refinement of the more

traditional national park alternative,

number 3. Through selected acquisition

and other preservation tools, the NPS

would have a strong public presence in

both park units. Through community

assistance, the NPS would be a

contributing member of a very organized

and active partnership of local

government and community groups.

The DEIS evaluates the potential

environmental impacts associated with

the four alternatives.

DATES: Comments on the DEIS should

be received no later than October 31,

1997. Public meetings regarding the

DEIS will be held at 7:00 p.m. on

September 22 and 23, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Comments on the DEIS

shall be submitted to the

Superintendent, Keweenaw National

Historical Park, 100 Red Jacket Road,

Second Floor, Calumet, Michigan,

49913.
