700 Rayovac Drive, Suite 100, Madison, 

Wisconsin 53711. 

Meeting times and locations will be

Trail, 700 Rayovac Drive, Suite 100, 

Madison, Wisconsin 53711. Telephone 

402–441–5610. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

GMP/EIS is a joint state and federal 

effort addressing lands within the Cross 

Plains Unit of the Ice Age National 

Scientific Reserve as well as the 

Interpretive Site for the Ice Age National 

Scenic Trail; these lands are referred to 

as the ‘‘Ice Age Complex at Cross 

Plains’’ for the purpose of this planning 

effort. This plan will guide the 

management of the Ice Age Complex at 

Cross Plains for the next 25 years. 

The draft GMP/EIS considers five 

draft conceptual alternatives—a noaction and four action alternatives, 

including the NPS-preferred alternative. 

The draft GMP/EIS assesses impacts of 

the alternatives on soil resources, water 

quality, soundscapes, vegetation and 

wildlife, socioeconomics, and visitor 

use and experience. The preferred 

alternative focuses on providing visitors 

with interpretation of the evolution of 

the complex from the last glacial retreat 

to the present and opportunities to 

enjoy appropriate low-impact outdoor 

recreation. Ecological resources would 

largely be managed to reveal the glacial 

landscape. The most sensitive ecological 

areas would be carefully protected, and 

visitor access would be highly 

controlled in these areas. Visitors would 

experience a wide variety of indoor and 

outdoor interpretive programming. 

Under this alternative, the Ice Age 

Complex would serve as the 

headquarters for the Ice Age National 

Scenic Trail. 

Before including your address, 

telephone number, electronic mail 

address, or other personal identifying 

information in your comments, you 

should be aware that your entire 

comment (including your personal 

identifying information) may be made 

publicly available at any time. While 

you can ask us in your comments to 

withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so. We will make all submissions 

from organizations or businesses, and 

from individuals identifying themselves 

as representatives or officials of 

organizations or businesses, available 

for public inspection in their entirety.

Environmental Impact Statement for 

Proposed General Management Plan, 

Pinnacles National Monument, San 

Benito and Monterey Counties, CA 

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of Termination of 

Environmental Impact Statement. 

SUMMARY: The National Park Service is 

terminating the preparation of an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

for the General Management Plan, 

Pinnacles National Monument, 

California. A Notice of Intent to prepare 

an EIS for the General Management Plan 

(GMP) was published in the Federal 

Register on April 6, 2007. Based in part 

on the minimal nature of public 

response to the Notice of Intent, the 

National Park Service has since 

determined that an Environmental 

Assessment (EA) rather than an EIS will 

suffice as the documentation for the 

environmental analysis for this general 

management planning effort. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This new 

GMP will update the overall direction 

for the national monument, setting 

broad goals for managing the area over 

the next 15 to 20 years. As noted above, 

the GMP was originally scoped as an 

EIS. However, few substantive 

comments were received during the 

public scoping process, and no issues 

having potential for significant or 

controversial impacts were identified. 

The current Master Plan was approved 

in 1975. 

In the general management planning 

process to date, the NPS planning team 

developed four preliminary alternatives 

for the management of the monument, 

none of which would result in 

substantial changes in the operation and 

management of the area. The three 

‘‘action’’ alternatives define desired 

future conditions for new lands recently 

acquired, and address parkwide cultural 

and natural resource protection, 

wilderness stewardship, administration 

and operations, and opportunities for 

expanding interpretation and visitor 

opportunities where appropriate. 

Preliminary analysis of the alternatives 

has revealed no potential for major (nor 

significant) effects on the quality of the 

human environment, nor any potential 

for impairment of monument resources 

and values. Most of the impacts which 

could result from the alternatives are 

expected to be negligible to minor in 

magnitude, with the remainder being of 

a minor to moderate level. 

For these reasons the NPS has 

determined that the requisite 

conservation planning and 

environmental impact analysis 

necessary for developing the GMP may 

be completed through preparation of an 

EA. For further information about this 

determination or other aspects of the 

GMP process, please contact: Karen 

Beppler-Dorn, Superintendent, 

Pinnacles National Monument, 5000 

Highway 146, Paicines, CA 95043 

(telephone: (831) 389–4486x222; email: 

PINN_Superintendent@nps.gov). 

Decision Process: The draft general 

management plan/EA is expected to be 

distributed for public comment in the 

spring of 2012. The NPS will notify the 

public about release of the draft general 

management plan/EA by mail, local and 

regional media, Web site postings, and 

other means. All announcements will 

include information on where and how 

to obtain a copy of the EA, how to 

comment on the EA, and the inclusive 

dates of the public comment period. 

Following due consideration of public 

comments and agency consults, at this 

time a decision is expected be made in 

the fall of 2012. The official responsible 

for the final decision on the GMP is the 

Regional Director; subsequently the 

responsible official for implementing 

the approved GMP is the 

Superintendent, Pinnacles National 

Monument.
