those resources by visitors.

NPS will conduct public scoping

meetings to explain the planning

process and to solicit opinions about

issues to address in the GMP/EIS. The

time and location of these meetings will

be announced in the local and regional

media and through mailed notices. This

notice will also serve as an additional

scoping method. Those wishing to

comment or express concerns on the

management issues and future

management direction of Appomattox

Court House National Historical Park

are invited to participate in the scoping

process by responding to this notice
