44110 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 160 / Tuesday, August 19, 1997 / Notices

ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED: The EA

considered, evaluated and assessed

three alternatives: (1) the ‘‘No Action’’

alternative (continue activities under

AR 420–40); (2) rescind AR 420–40 (no

policy for cultural resources

management); and (3) the proposed

action alternative which is adoption of

AR 200–4.

ALTERNATIVE CHOSEN: Consideration of

the alternatives analyzed in the EA

leads the Army to choose adoption of

AR 200–4. The ‘‘No Action’’ alternative

and the ‘‘Rescind AR 420–40’’

alternative do not meet the purpose and

need as expressed in both this

document and the EA. The ‘‘No Action’’

alternative would allow a continued ad

hoc approach to management of cultural

resources without a comprehensive

consideration of all cultural resources.

The ‘‘Rescind AR 420–40’’ alternative

would leave the Army with no policy

for management of cultural resources.

AR 200–4, on the other hand, provides

clear guidance and direction for

management of cultural resources on a

comprehensive basis. Management in

this manner will facilitate overall Army

compliance with applicable legal

requirements, and will otherwise

provide the agency with the ability to

act as a more responsible steward of the

cultural resources entrusted to its care.

ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS: As

noted in the EA, the nature and scope

of the analysis was programmatic. This

analysis is directly related to the nature

of the decision being made. The

Department of the Army is choosing to

adopt AR 200–4, an internal agency

policy for management of cultural

resources. This decision alone is not

likely to result in any quantifiable,

concrete, on-the-ground impacts.

Rather, its effect will be felt as resource

managers develop site-specific cultural

resource management plans and

implement management activities

consistent with the direction and

guidance contained in AR 200–4. That

second level of planning and decision

making will involve additional

environmental review which considers

on-the-ground impacts. In addition,

while AR 200–4 formalizes a

comprehensive and uniform policy for

managing cultural resources and

eliminates the present ad hoc approach,

many of the management practices

presently applied in the field will

continue to be applied. The effect of

adoption and implementation of AR

200–4, therefore, should be beneficial

for Army cultural resources.

CONCLUSIONS: Based on a review of the

EA, and for the reasons stated

immediately above, it is not anticipated

that adoption of AR 200–4 will either

independently or cumulatively present

significant environmental impacts to the

quality of the human environment.

Further, based on the analysis in the EA,

the Army expects that adoption of AR

200–4 will result in beneficial impacts

on cultural resources.

Impact (FNSI) may be directed by mail
