National Lakeshore (Lakeshore), 

Michigan. On January 6, 2009, the 

Midwest Regional Director approved the 

ROD for the project. As soon as 

practicable, the NPS will begin to 

implement the preferred alternative 

contained in the final EIS. 

The preferred alternative will provide 

for the preservation of natural resources, 

while offering opportunities for visitor 

enjoyment of natural, cultural, and 

recreational resources in a scenic 

outdoor setting. This alternative 

includes approximately 32,100 acres (45 

percent of the Lakeshore) proposed for 

wilderness. No developed county roads 

are included in proposed wilderness 

areas. Visitor services and facilities 

remain much as they are now, with 

improvements at key locations on the 

mainland and on South Manitou Island. 

Acquisition of lands within the Benzie 

Corridor will continue. 

The ROD includes a statement of the 

decision made, synopses of other 

alternatives considered, the basis for the 

decision, a description of the 

environmentally preferable alternative, 

a finding on impairment of park 

resources and values, a listing of 

measures to minimize environmental 

harm, and an overview of public 

involvement in the decision-making 

process.

Project Act of 1939 and the rules and 

regulations published in 52 FR 11954, 

April 13, 1987 (43 CFR 426.22), 

Reclamation will publish notice of 

proposed or amendatory contract

newspapers of general circulation in the 

affected area at least 60 days prior to 

contract execution. Announcements 

may be in the form of news releases, 

legal notices, official letters, 

memorandums, or other forms of 

written material. Meetings, workshops, 

and/or hearings may also be used, as 

appropriate, to provide local publicity. 

The public participation procedures do 

not apply to proposed contracts for the 

sale of surplus or interim irrigation 

water for a term of 1 year or less. Either 

of the contracting parties may invite the 

public to observe contract proceedings. 

All public participation procedures will 

be coordinated with those involved in 

complying with the National 

Environmental Policy Act. Pursuant to 

the ‘‘Final Revised Public Participation 

Procedures’’ for water resource-related 

contract negotiations, published in 47 

FR 7763, February 22, 1982, a tabulation 

is provided of all proposed contractual 

actions in each of the five Reclamation 

regions. When contract negotiations are 

completed, and prior to execution, each 

proposed contract form must be 

approved by the Secretary of the 

Interior, or pursuant to delegated or 

redelegated authority, the Commissioner 

of Reclamation or one of the regional 

directors. In some instances, 

congressional review and approval of a 

report, water rate, or other terms and 

conditions of the contract may be 

involved. 

Public participation in and receipt of 

comments on contract proposals will be 

facilitated by adherence to the following 

procedures: 

1. Only persons authorized to act on 

behalf of the contracting entities may 

negotiate the terms and conditions of a 

specific contract proposal. 

2. Advance notice of meetings or 

hearings will be furnished to those 

parties that have made a timely written 

request for such notice to the 

appropriate regional or project office of 

Reclamation. 

3. Written correspondence regarding 

proposed contracts may be made 

available to the general public pursuant 

to the terms and procedures of the 

Freedom of Information Act, as 

amended. 

4. Written comments on a proposed 

contract or contract action must be 

submitted to the appropriate regional 

officials at the locations and within the 

time limits set forth in the advance 

public notices. 

5. All written comments received and 

testimony presented at any public 

hearings will be reviewed and 

summarized by the appropriate regional 

office for use by the contract approving 

authority. 

6. Copies of specific proposed 

contracts may be obtained from the 

appropriate regional director or his 

designated public contact as they 

become available for review and 

comment. 

7. In the event modifications are made 

in the form of a proposed contract, the 

appropriate regional director shall 

determine whether republication of the 

notice and/or extension of the comment 

period is necessary. 

Factors considered in making such a 

determination shall include, but are not 

limited to (i) the significance of the 

modification, and (ii) the degree of 

public interest which has been 

expressed over the course of the 

negotiations. At a minimum, the 

regional director shall furnish revised 

contracts to all parties who requested 

the contract in response to the initial 

public notice.
