Wilderness Eligibility 

Reclassifications, Wrangell-St. Elias 

National Park and Preserve 

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of Wilderness Eligibility 

Reclassification, Wrangell-St. Elias 

National Park and Preserve. 

SUMMARY: Wrangell-St. Elias National 

Park and Preserve has completed an 

analysis per NPS Management Policies 

2006 6.2.1 for the reclassification of 

lands currently deemed to be eligible 

wilderness based on the 1986 eligibility 

review conducted as part of the park’s 

General Management Plan (GMP). 

National Park Service (NPS) solicited 

public comments on the proposed 

reclassification as part of the Nabesna 

Off-Road Vehicle Management Plan/ 

Draft Environmental Impact Statement 

(DEIS) and as a part of the McCarthy 

Communications Sites Environmental 

Assessment (EA). The NPS Director 

approved the wilderness eligibility 

reclassifications. The reclassification 

resulted in the following. For the 

Nabesna District: (1) motorized trail 

corridors in existence prior to 1986 were 

classified as ineligible; and (2) a net gain 

in eligible acres within the analysis area 

of 16,929 acres. For the McCarthy Road 

corridor: (1) The reclassification of 667 

acres of wilderness eligible lands in the 

analysis area to ineligible status; and (2) 

the construction of telecommunication 

facilities on lands now deemed to be 

ineligible. 

ADDRESSES: Hard copies of the Nabesna 

Off-Road Vehicle Management Plan/ 

Final Environmental Impact Statement

Assessment (EA) are available on the 

NPS Planning, Environment, and Public 

Comment (PEPC) Web site at http:// 

parkplanning.nps.gov/WRST. They can 

also be obtained at park headquarters 

(Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and 

Preserve, Mile 106.8 Richardson 

Highway, Copper Center, Alaska) or 

may be requested from Bruce Rogers, 

Project Manager, Wrangell-St. Elias 

National Park and Preserve, P.O. Box 

439, Copper Center, Alaska 99573. A 

detailed description, including maps, of 

the wilderness eligibility 

reclassifications can be found in the 

appendices of these documents. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

wilderness eligibility reclassification 

addresses inconsistencies between the 

eligibility criteria and mapping 

presented in the 1986 GMP: 

• Some areas mapped as ineligible 

meet the criteria for eligibility. For the 

Nabesna District, the large ineligible 

area between the Tanada Lake and 

Copper Lake trails has not been 

impacted by trail use nor was it in 1986. 

This area has been reclassified as 

eligible. 

• Some areas mapped as eligible do 

not meet the criteria for eligibility. In 

the Nabesna District, trails that were 

‘‘improved or regularly used’’ or had 

impacts associated with them in 1986 

should be reclassified as ineligible. 

Along the McCarthy Road corridor, the 

Gilahina Butte site was incorrectly 

determined to be eligible in 1986 

despite the fact that it was already 

‘‘improved or regularly used.’’ 

• ‘‘Federal lands under application’’ 

were listed as ineligible for wilderness 

in the 1986 GMP. Some lands in this 

category have been retained in federal 

ownership and now meet the criteria for 

eligibility. 

For the Nabesna District, the 

reclassification proposal was described 

in the Nabesna Off-Road Vehicle 

Management Plan/Draft Environmental 

Impact Statement (DEIS) as part of the 

preferred alternative and again in the 

FEIS. For the McCarthy Road corridor, 

the reclassification proposal was 

included in the McCarthy 

Communications Sites Environmental 

Assessment (EA). Public comment was 

taken into consideration in the approval 

of these wilderness eligibility 

reclassifications.
