BILLING CODE 4310–33–P 

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

Notice of Termination of Preparation of 

an Environmental Impact Statement for 

the Harriet Tubman Special Resource 

Study 

AGENCY: National Park Service, 

Department of the Interior. 

ACTION: Termination of preparation of 

an Environmental Impact Statement. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

termination of the process to develop an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

for the Harriet Tubman Special 

Resource Study (SRS). The SRS was 

undertaken at the direction of Congress 

in Public Law 106–516 to evaluate sites 

related to Harriet Tubman for potential 

inclusion in the national park system. 

The study area includes parts of 

Maryland and New York. A Notice of 

Intent to Prepare an EIS was published 

in the Federal Register on February 7, 

2003. 

Initial formal public scoping took 

place through spring 2004, followed by 

continuous informal consultation with 

stakeholders, agency officials, and the 

interested public. From June through 

September 2008, NPS held stakeholder 

and public meetings and took comments 

on the preliminary alternatives. 

Scoping revealed no issues or 

controversy, nor the potential for 

significant environmental impacts. 

Therefore, it was determined that an 

Environmental Assessment (EA) would 

suffice to address National 

Environmental Policy Act requirements 

for this study. 

The Harriet Tubman Special Resource 

Study and Environmental Assessment 

was made available for public review 

starting 11/19/2008 with the comment 

period ending 12/19/2008. The study 

report can be viewed at the NPS 

Planning, Environment and Public 

Comment (PEPC) Web site at: http:// 

parkplanning.nps.gov/ or through the 

study Web site, http:// 

www.HarrietTubmanStudy.org.
