National Trail Study, Hawaii (FEIS/

NTS).

The National Park Service

recommends a continuous historic trail

management strategy for this trail along

and near the coast of Hawaii. This

strategy (described as the Proposed

Action, Alternative B) and three other

alternatives were detailed and analyzed

in the Final Environmental Impact

Statement issued in April, 1998. The

findings in the FEIS/NTS include: (1)

the Ala Kahakai meets all three criteria

for a national historic trail (as outlined

in the National Trails System Act); (2)

establishing a continuous trail is

physically feasible; (3) local

communities, landowners, and native

Hawaiians must be involved in planning

and implementing the trail, should it be

designated by Congress.

The National Park System Advisory

Committee has corroborated the

national historical significance of the

Ala Kahakai. The FEIS/NTS and Record

of Decision (ROD) will be transmitted to

Congress by the Secretary of the Interior.

Copies of the ROD may be obtained

from the Superintendent, Pacific Great

Basin Support Office, 600 Harrison

Street, Suite 600, San Francisco, CA
