SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 8,

1998, the Department of the Navy filed

an application to extend the withdrawal

for the Bravo-20 Bombing Range. The

Navy has determined there is a

continuing military need for the land

and filed the application for extension

in accordance with Section 8(a)(1) and

(2) of Public Law 99–606. The legal

description for Bravo-20 is as published

in the 52 FR 3176, February 2, 1987, FR

Doc. 87–1928, and the 52 FR 6227,

March 2, 1987, FR Doc. 87–4232. The

area described contains 21,576.40 acres

in Churchill County.

A copy of the legal description is

available by contacting Dennis J.

Samuelson at the address or phone

number listed above.

Bravo-20 is used by the Navy for

testing and training for aerial bombing,

missile firing, tactical maneuvering and

air support, and other defense related

purposes. There is a also a need to

protect the public’s health and welfare

from the hazardous operations

conducted by the Navy. The land is

contaminated with unexploded

ordnance.

This withdrawal extension requires

legislative action by Congress pursuant

to the Act of February 28, 1958, 43

U.S.C. 155–158.

For a period of 90 days from the date

of publication of this notice, all persons

who wish to submit comments,

suggestions, or objections in connection

with the proposed withdrawal extension

may present their views in writing to

the Nevada State Director of the Bureau

of Land Management.

Notice is hereby given that an

opportunity for a public meeting is

afforded in connection with the

proposed withdrawal extension. The

objective of a public meeting is to solicit

public comments and meet the

regulatory requirement for proposed

extension of withdrawals that exceed

5,000 acres (43 CFR 2310.3–1(b)(2)(v)).

A notice of the time and place will be

published in the Federal Register and a

newspaper in the general vicinity of the

lands to be withdrawn at least 30 days

before the scheduled date of the

meeting.

Three public meetings were held in

December 1997 for the purpose of

scoping the environmental

documentation to meet National

Environmental Policy Act requirements

for the proposed withdrawal extension.

A draft environmental impact statement

is expected to be released by the Navy

for public review in the near future.

For a period of 2 years from the date

of publication of this notice in the

Federal Register, the land will be

segregated from all forms of

appropriation under the public land

laws, the mining laws, the mineral

leasing laws, and the geothermal leasing

laws.

Dated: May 28, 1998.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

National Park Service

Final Environmental Impact Statement

for Visitor Services Plan, Crater Lake

National Park, Oregon

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Availability of Final

Environmental Impact Statement.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to § 102(2)C) of the

National Environmental Policy Act of

1969 (Pub. L. 91–190, as amended), the

National Park Service has prepared a

Final Environmental Impact Statement

(FEIS) assessing the potential impacts of

the Visitor Services Plan for Crater lake

National Park, Oregon. Once approved,

the plan will guide the management and

use of the developed areas of the park.

The Draft Environmental Impact

Statement/Visitor Services Plan (DEIS)

was released for public review on

December 12, 1997. A Notice of

Availability was published in the

Federal Register on December 12, 1997,

to formally initiate a 45-day public

review period (which closed on January

26, 1998). The FEIS contains responses

to the comments received and minor

modifications or clarifications to the

document as needed in response to

comments.

Alternative A (the proposed action) is

a mix of proposals that are intended to

protect park resources and enhance the

visitor experience. Alternative B (no

action) would continue the existing

conditions at the park and would allow

for the completion of any facilities

currently under construction.

Alternative C would offer more selfdirected visitor experiences that would

be less facility-dependent and less

structured than at present. Alternative D

would enhance interpretation and

provide a wider variety of commercial

and NPS visitor services. Alternative E

is primarily based on the planning

direction presented in the Record of

Decision for the 1995 Development

Concept Plan/Environmental Impact

Statement, which focused on

concentrating visitor facilities at Rim

Village.

The environmental consequences of

the proposed action and the alternatives

were fully documented in the DEIS, and

mitigation provided as appropriate to

minimize impacts. The FEIS states that

the removal of the parking lot north of

the cafeteria building will have an

adverse effect on the Rim Village

Historic District. However, a

programmatic agreement has been

developed among the National Park

Service, the state historic preservation

office, and the Advisory Council on

Historic Preservation to provide

measures for mitigating the adverse

effects.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: It should

be noted that this FEIS is an

‘‘abbreviated’’ final environmental

impact statement (changes from the

DEIS are minor, with no new

information which might have a

significant effect on the environment).

The FEIS was prepared in accordance

with environmental regulations set forth

at 40 CFR 1503.4(c). It is recommended

that readers of the FEIS have available

a copy of the DEIS. The ‘‘no-action’’

period for this FEIS will end thirty (30)

days after the Environmental Protection

Agency has listed the availability of the

document in the Federal Register. For

further information, please contact the

Superintendent, Crater Lake National

Park, P.O. Box 7, Crater Lake, Oregon,

97064; telephone (541) 594–2211.

Copies of the FEIS will be available

for public inspection at the park

headquarters, as well as at area libraries.
