DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

National Park Service

60 Day Notice of Intention To Request

Clearance of Collection of Information;

Opportunity for Public Comment

AGENCY: National Park Service,

Department of the Interior, Golden Gate

National Recreation Area.

ACTION: Notice and request for

comments.

SUMMARY: The Golden Gate National

Recreation Area (GGNRA) is a national

park which comprises over 76,000 acres

of coastal lands spanning three

California counties: Marin, San

Francisco and San Mateo. GGNRA is

proposing to conduct survey interview

in peak, shoulder and off-peak season of

calendar year 2000, and possibly

through Spring 2001, to identify the

market viability and specific visitor flow

information for operationlizing

recreational ferry services to sites within

the GGNRA on San Francisco Bay such

as Ft. Baker, Crissy Field (Presidio) and

Ft. Mason. The results of these surveys

will be used to develop alternative plans

for a possible ferry service and to

forecast potential demand for water

shuttle access to GGNRA’s sites, as well

as land-based transit connections.

Intercept interviews will be conducted

at 5 park sites and at least 2 non-park

sites. Telephone surveys will be

conducted in 3–4 counties surrounding

the park to determine latent demand for

ferry service, and under what conditions

such service might be used.

Under provisions of the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995 and 5 CFR Part

1320, Reporting and Record Keeping

Requirements, the National Park Service

(NPS) is soliciting comments on: (a)

Whether the collection of information is

necessary for such a reliable and valid

proper performance of the functions of

the GGNRA in evaluating the best

alternative operations in the interest of

the government and the general public,

including whether the information will

have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of

the NPS estimate of the burden of the

collection of information, including the

validity of the methodology and

assumptions used; (c) the quality,

utility, and clarity of the information to

be collected; and (d) how to minimize

the burden of the collection of

information on those who are to

respond, while maintaining an unbiased

sample, including the use of appropriate

automated, electronic, mechanical, or

other forms of information technology.

DATES: Public comments will be

accepted on or before June 19, 2000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title:

Scope of Work for Water Shuttle Access

Plan.

Bureau Form Number: None.

OMB Number: To be requested.

Expiration Date of Approval: To be

requested.

Type of Request: Request for new

clearance.

Description of Need: The

Metropolitan Transportation

Commission (MTC) of the San Francisco

Bay Area has identified updated data

collection and surveys of this nature as

critical to the foundation of improving

alternative transportation access to

GGNRA, and particularly to the

feasibility of developing a potential

water shuttle service to park sites.

GGNRA has also been identified as one

of five national park demonstration sites

to improve alternative transportation

access through a coordinated program

with the U.S. Department of

Transportation (DOT) because of its over

15 million visitors per year. To support

these efforts, GGNRA needs information

to better develop ridership potential to

alternate park sites, and to determine

the specific market feasibility and

operational plans for alternative modes

of access to GGNRA sites, particularly

by ferry service. Such a need was

identified in a GGNRA Travel Study

completed in 1977 and remains today.

GGNRA seeks to acquire this

information in order to plan for

increasing alternative access modes to

the park and to decongest the critical

roadway corridors to park sites such as

the Golden Gate Bridge and Rt. 101

which result in both extensive traffic

delays for visitors and other residents.

Automated Data Collection: At the

present time, there is no automated way

to gather this information, since the

information gathering process involves

asking visitors and/or the general public

to identify characteristics, use patterns,

expectations, preferences and

perceptions that are relevant to a study

of ferry service. Computerized responses

could not be controlled for bias as

intercept and random digit dialing

surveys can be.

Description of respondents: Intercept

interviews will be conducted with a

random sample of individuals who visit

GGNRA sites to include Alcatraz, Muir

Woods, Presidio, Ft. Mason and the

Marin Headlands. Intercept interviews

will also be conducted at non-park sites

in San Francisco and the East Bay with

a random sample of individuals who are

not visiting GGNRA. Telephone surveys

will be conducted with a random

sample of residents of the Counties of

San Francisco, Alameda and one or two

other counties surrounding the Bay as

yet unselected.

Estimated average number of

respondents: 1400 (completed telephone

interviews); 8400 (completed intercept

interviews).

Estimated average number of

responses: Each respondent will

respond only one time, so the number

of responses will be the same as the

number of respondents.

Estimated average burden hours per

response: 10 minutes (telephone

21010 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 76 / Wednesday, April 19, 2000 / Notices

interviews); 5 minutes (intercept

surveys).

Frequency of Response: 1 time per

respondent.

Estimated annual reporting burden:

940 hours.

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Intent to prepare a

General Management Plan and

Environmental Impact Statement for

Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial,

Indiana.

SUMMARY: The National Park Service

(NPS) will prepare a General

Management Plan (GMP) and an

associated Environmental Impact

Statement (EIS) for Lincoln Boyhood

National Memorial, Indiana, in

accordance with section 102(2)(C) of the

National Environmental Policy Act of

1969 (NEPA). This notice is being

furnished as required by NEPA

Regulations 40 CFR 1501.7.

To facilitate sound planning and

environmental assessment, the NPS

intends to gather information necessary

for the preparation of the EIS, and to

obtain suggestions and information from

other agencies and the public on the

scope of issues to be addressed in the

EIS. Comments and participation in this

scoping process are invited.

Participation in the planning process

will be encouraged and facilitated by

various means. Notification of all public

involvement opportunities will be

announced in the local press and in

NPS mailings. To begin the public

process, the NPS will conduct a scoping

meeting to explain the planning effort

and to solicit opinion about issues to

address in the GMP/EIS.

DATES: Two public scoping meetings

will be held on Wednesday, May 3,

2000 at the Lincoln Boyhood National

Memorial Visitor Center, Highway 162,

in Lincoln City, Indiana. An afternoon

session will be held from 1:00 p.m. to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Lincoln

Boyhood National Memorial preserves

the site of the farm where Abraham

Lincoln spent 14 formative years of his

life. He and his family moved to Indiana

in 1816 and stayed until 1830 when

they moved to Illinois. During this

period, Lincoln grew physically and

intellectually into a man. The people he

knew here and the things he

experienced had a profound influence

on his life. The time he spent here

helped shape the man that went on to

lead the country. This site is the most

direct tie with that time of his life.

Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial is

also significant because it represents

that period within the history of the

preservation movement, when the

creation of memorial edifices and

landscapes were an important

expression of the nation’s respect and

reverence for Abraham Lincoln.

In accordance with NPS Park

Planning policy, the GMP will ensure

the Memorial has a clearly defined

direction for resource preservation and

visitor use. It will be developed in

consultation with servicewide program

managers, interested parties, and the

general public. It will be based on an

adequate analysis of existing and

potential resource conditions and visitor

experiences, environmental impacts,

and costs of alternative courses of

action.

The environmental review of the

GMP/EIS for the Memorial will be

conducted in accordance with

requirements of the NEPA (42 U.S.C.

4371 et seq.), NEPA regulations (40 CFR

1500–1508), other appropriate Federal

regulations, and National Park Service

procedures and policies for compliance

with those regulations.
