it violated the rights of a parent, or for 

a parent to petition to invalidate an 

action because the action violated the 

statutory rights of the tribe. ICWA is 

designed to provide rights to ensure that 

tribes, parents, and children are 

protected. In light of Congressional 

findings in ICWA, it is presumed that 

the Indian child is disadvantaged if any 

of those rights are violated. 

(d) The court should allow, if it 

possesses the capability, alternative 

methods of participation in State court 

proceedings by family members and 

tribes, such as participation by 

telephone, videoconferencing, or other 

methods. 

G.3. What are the rights of adult 

adoptees? 

(a) Upon application by an Indian 

individual who has reached age 18 who 

was the subject of an adoptive 

placement, the court that entered the 

final decree must inform such 

individual of the tribal affiliations, if 

any, of the individual’s biological 

parents and provide such other 

information necessary to protect any 

rights, which may include tribal 

membership, resulting from the 

individual’s tribal relationship. 

(b) This section should be applied 

regardless of whether the original 

adoption was subject to the provisions 

of the Act. 

(c) Where State law prohibits 

revelation of the identity of the 

biological parent, assistance of the 

Bureau of Indian Affairs should be 

sought to help an adoptee who is 

eligible for membership in a tribe to 

become a tribal member without 

breaching the Privacy Act or 

confidentiality of the record. 

(d) In States where adoptions remain 

closed, the relevant agency should, at a 

minimum, communicate directly with 

the tribe’s enrollment office and provide 

the information necessary to facilitate 

the establishment of the adoptee’s tribal 

membership. 

(e) Agencies should work with the 

tribe to identify at least one tribal 

designee familiar with 25 U.S.C. 1917 to 

assist adult adoptees statewide with the 

process of reconnecting with their tribes 

and to provide information to State 

judges about this provision on an 

annual basis. 

G.4. When must notice of a change in 

child’s status be given? 

(a) Notice by the court, or an agency 

authorized by the court, must be given 

to the child’s biological parents or prior 

Indian custodians and the Indian child’s 

tribe whenever: 

(1) A final decree of adoption of an 

Indian child has been vacated or set 

aside; or 

(2) The adoptive parent has 

voluntarily consented to the termination 

of his or her parental rights to the child; 

or 

(3) Whenever an Indian child is 

removed from a foster care home or 

institution to another foster care 

placement, preadoptive placement, or 

adoptive placement. 

(b) The notice must inform the 

recipient of the right to petition for 

return of custody of the child. 

(c) A parent or Indian custodian may 

waive his or her right to such notice by 

executing a written waiver of notice 

filed with the court. The waiver may be 

revoked at any time by filing with the 

court a written notice of revocation. A 

revocation of the right to receive notice 

does not affect any proceeding which 

occurred before the filing of the notice 

of revocation. 

G.5. What information must States 

furnish to the Bureau of Indian Affairs? 

(a) Any state entering a final adoption 

decree or order must furnish a copy of 

the decree or order to the Bureau of 

Indian Affairs, Chief, Division of Human 

Services, 1849 C Street NW., Mail Stop 

4513 MIB, Washington, DC 20240, along 

with the following information: 

(1) Birth name of the child, tribal 

affiliation and name of the child after 

adoption; 

(2) Names and addresses of the 

biological parents; 

(3) Names and addresses of the 

adoptive parents; 

(4) Name and contact information for 

any agency having files or information 

relating to the adoption; 

(5) Any affidavit signed by the 

biological parent or parents asking that 

their identity remain confidential; and 

(6) Any information relating to the 

enrollment or eligibility for enrollment 

of the adopted child. 

(b) Confidentiality of such 

information must be maintained and is 

not subject to the Freedom of 

Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552, as 

amended. 

G.6. How must the State maintain 

records? 

(a) The State must establish a single 

location where all records of every 

voluntary or involuntary foster care, 

preadoptive placement and adoptive 

placement of Indian children by courts 

of that State will be available within 

seven days of a request by an Indian 

child’s tribe or the Secretary. 

(b) The records must contain, at a 

minimum, the petition or complaint, all 

substantive orders entered in the 

proceeding, and the complete record of 

the placement determination.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

[NPS–PWR–PWRO–17253; 

PX.PD077160I.00.4] 

Draft Environmental Impact Statement 

for Alcatraz Ferry Embarkation Plan, 

San Francisco County, California. 

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: The National Park Service 

(NPS) has prepared a Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) 

for the Alcatraz Ferry Embarkation 

project. The project would establish a 

new, long-term ferry embarkation site 

for passenger service between the 

northern San Francisco waterfront and 

Alcatraz Island. It would also establish 

occasional special ferry service between 

the selected Alcatraz ferry embarkation 

site and the existing Fort Baker pier, as 

well as between Fort Mason and other 

destinations in San Francisco Bay. 

DATES: All comments must be 

postmarked or transmitted not later than 

90 days from the date of publication in 

the Federal Register of the 

Environmental Protection Agency’s 

notice of filing and release of the DEIS. 

Upon confirmation of this date, we will 

notify all entities on the project mailing 

list, and public announcements about 

the DEIS review period will be posted 

on the project Web site (http://

parkplanning.nps.gov/

ALCAembarkation) and distributed via 

local and regional press media. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Please contact the Golden Gate National 

Recreation Area Planning Division at 

(415) 561–4930 or goga_planning@

nps.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

purpose and need for the project is 

driven by the following factors: (1) 

Alcatraz Island ferry service has been 

subject to location changes every 10 

years, which has led to visitor 

confusion, community concerns, and 

inconsistency in visitor support 

services. The site and associated 

connections should be a consistent 

feature for visitors to Golden Gate 

National Recreation Area (GGNRA). (2) 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
10160 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 37 / Wednesday, February 25, 2015 / Notices 

The ability to make improvements at the 

existing site is constrained by lease 

provisions between the Port of San 

Francisco and the concessioner. The site 

should allow for efficiency in making 

facility improvements when necessary 

and for consistency in projecting facility 

costs. (3) Condition of existing facilities 

constrains and negatively affects NPS 

and the concessioner’s abilities to create 

a quality visitor experience. The site 

and associated facilities should serve as 

a gateway to GGNRA, reflecting the 

NPS’s identity and providing a quality 

experience for recreational visitors. (4) 

The current facility has insufficient 

space to appropriately orient visitors to 

Alcatraz Island or provide information 

to the many visitors who are unable to 

visit the island. The site should provide 

the space, circulation, and interpretive 

materials to appropriately and 

effectively orient recreational visitors to 

Alcatraz Island and GGNRA. (5) There 

is currently very limited opportunity to 

provide cross-bay ferry service to other 

GGNRA areas. 

Key project objectives include: (1) 

Establish a long-term (50 years or more) 

primary location that is economically 

feasible and sustainable, and enables 

substantial reinvestment in Alcatraz 

Island and other park facilities and 

visitor programs; (2) provide visitor 

access to Alcatraz Island that is 

compatible with nearby land uses, 

including neighborhoods, businesses, 

and transportation services; (3) 

accommodate the critical facilities and 

programs needed for the safety and 

comfort of visitors and staff, and 

provide for efficient ferry operations; (4) 

locate within a reasonable crossing time 

from Alcatraz Island and meet specific 

basic program element requirements for 

logistics; (5) provide an identifiable area 

for a quality welcome, orientation, and 

interpretation of the natural, cultural, 

scenic, and recreational resources of 

Alcatraz Island, other GGNRA system 

parklands, and the larger national park 

system; and (6) provide facilities for 

expanded ferry service to accommodate 

existing and future visitor demand for 

travel to Alcatraz Island and other 

GGNRA sites and NPS units. 

Alternatives: The DEIS describes and 

analyzes the following four alternatives: 

No Action Alternative: Ferry service 

to Alcatraz Island would continue from 

Pier 311⁄2, controlled by the Port of San 

Francisco, with no changes to 

management or site operations and 

infrastructure. This alternative serves as 

the environmental baseline from which 

potential effects of the three ‘‘action’’ 

alternatives were compared. 

Pier 311⁄2 Alternative: Retrofit existing 

structures (parts of piers 31, 33 and 

associated bulkhead buildings) and 

establish long-term ferry service and 

embarkation site operations at Pier 311⁄2

along the Embarcadero. A third berth 

would be constructed to support ferry 

travel to other GGNRA sites. This has 

been determined to be the 

‘‘environmentally preferred’’ alternative. 

Pier 41 Alternative: Retrofit and 

expand existing structures and establish 

long-term ferry service and embarkation 

site operations at Pier 41, controlled by 

the Port of San Francisco in Fisherman’s 

Wharf. A third berth would be 

constructed to support ferry travel to 

other GGNRA sites. 

Pier 3 Alternative: Retrofit existing 

structures and establish a long-term 

embarkation site at Pier 3 in Fort Mason, 

a federal property managed by GGNRA. 

A third berth between Piers 1 and 2 

would also be constructed. 

All action alternatives analyzed in the 

DEIS would also provide the 

aforementioned occasional, special ferry 

service operated to/from Fort Baker and 

to/from Fort Mason. At this time, the 

‘‘Preferred Alternative’’ has not been 

identified. Determination of which 

alternative is preferred will be informed 

by public comment on the DEIS and the 

outcome of ongoing discussions with 

the Port which may affect cost and 

logistics at the potential Port sites— 

Piers 311⁄2 and 41. The ‘‘Preferred 

Alternative’’ will be identified in the 

Final EIS. 

Public Involvement: The Notice of 

Intent to prepare an EIS was published 

in the Federal Register on June 1, 2012. 

Two public meetings were held; on June 

26, 2012, at Fort Mason in San 

Francisco, and on June 28, 2012, in 

Sausalito. Both meetings presented 

information about the purpose, need, 

and objectives of the project and 

concepts for possible alternatives in an 

open-house format. The primary goal of 

these meetings was to solicit public 

input on the preliminary alternatives. A 

summary of all comments received 

during the initial 60-day scoping period 

was documented by the Park Service in 

a report titled ‘‘Public Scoping 

Comment Summary.’’ Comments from 

these meetings, as well from additional 

stakeholder and agency outreach 

meetings and subsequent internal 

planning workshops, were used to 

further refine the alternatives and 

identify the key topics to be addressed 

in the DEIS. 

In preparing the DEIS, the NPS 

consulted with elected officials in San 

Francisco and Sausalito, representatives 

of the Port of San Francisco, the Fort 

Mason Center, the State Office of 

Historic Preservation, and numerous 

other stakeholders, among them 

neighborhood associations, ferry boat 

operators and Native American tribes. 

The NPS completed over a dozen 

working papers and reports for this 

DEIS, including a feasibility analysis, 

visitor flow survey report, wind-wave 

analysis, value analysis report, and 

transportation and circulation study. 

During the public review and 

comment period, visits to alternative 

sites will be offered and a public 

meeting will be conducted in San 

Francisco. The date, time, and location 

of the meeting and site visits will be 

publicized through local and regional 

news media, via the project Web site 

(http://parkplanning.nps.gov/

ALCAembarkation), and email to the 

park mailing list. Interested individuals, 

organizations, and agencies are invited 

to attend this meeting to discuss the 

DEIS with the planning team and/or 

provide written comments. 

Copies of the DEIS (printed and 

electronic) will be distributed to 

congressional delegations, state and 

local elected officials, federal and state 

agencies, tribes, organizations, local 

businesses, public libraries, and the 

news media. Printed copies (in limited 

quantity) and CDs will be supplied in 

response to email, phone or mail 

requests. Printed copies will be 

available at public libraries in San 

Francisco and Sausalito. 

How to Comment: Written comments 

may be transmitted electronically 

through the project Web site (noted 

above). If preferred, comments may be 

mailed to the General Superintendent, 

GGNRA, Attn: Alcatraz Ferry 

Embarkation DEIS, Fort Mason, 

Building 201, San Francisco, CA, 94123. 

Before including your address, phone 

number, email address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment, 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 comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so. 

Decision Process: All comments 

received on the DEIS will be duly 

considered in preparing the Final EIS, 

which is expected to be available in late 

2015. Availability of the Final EIS will 

be announced in the Federal Register, 

as well as through regional and local 

press media and park Web site postings. 

A Record of Decision will be prepared 

not sooner than 30 days after release of 

the Final EIS. As a delegated EIS, the 

NPS official responsible for approval of 

the project is the Regional Director, 

Pacific West Region. The official
