DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

Long Walk National Historic Trail 

Feasibility Study, Draft Environmental 

Impact Statement, National Trails 

System—Intermountain Region, NM 

AGENCY: National Park Service, 

Department of the Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability of the 

Draft Environmental Impact Statement 

for the Long Walk National Historic 

Trail Feasibility Study 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 42 

U.S.C. 4332(2)(C), the National Park 

Service announces the availability of a 

Draft Environmental Impact Statement 

for the Long Walk National Historic 

Trail Feasibility Study, National Trails 

System—Intermountain Region, New 

Mexico. 

Four alternatives and their respective 

environmental consequences are 

presented in this study. Under 

alternative A, the no-action alternative, 

current practices and policies would 

continue. A national historic trail would 

not be designated, and interpretation 

and protection of Long Walk-related 

events and resources would not be 

coordinated. Under alternative B 

Congress would designate two national 

historic trails (dual designations) to 

emphasize the unique removal 

experiences of each Tribe within the 

contextual history. An auto tour route 

would be established. Interpretation and 

education would emphasize the 

distinctive Tribal and individual 

removal histories. The Secretary of the 

Interior would administer the trails 

through partnerships, primarily with the 

Nescalero Apache Tribe and the Navajo 

Nation. Under alternative C one national 

historic trail would be designated, 

emphasizing the removal experiences 

common to both Tribes. An auto tour 

route would be established. 

Interpretation and education would 

emphasize overviews of the Long Walk 

events. The Secretary of the Interior 

would administer the trail through 

partnerships, primarily with the 

Nescalero Apache Tribe and Navajo 

Nation. Under alternative C Congress 

would provide a grant program to the 

Tribes focusing on interpretation and 

education projects and resource 

protection on Tribal lands. All decisions 

about strategy, level of protection, etc., 

would be made by the Tribes. A 

national historic trail would not be 

designated. No other alternatives were 

considered. This study does not identify 

a preferred alternative. 

DATES: The National Park Service will 

accept comments on the Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement from 

the public for 60 days from the date the 

Environmental Protection Agency 

publishes the Notice of Availability. No 

public meetings are scheduled at this 

time. 

ADDRESSES: Information will be 

available for public review and
