DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Draft General Management Plan/

Environmental Impact Statement

(GMP/EIS), Crater Lake National Park,

Oregon

AGENCY: National Park Service.

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an

environmental impact statement.

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the

National Environmental Policy Act, the

National Park Service is preparing an

environmental impact statement for the

general management plan for Crater

Lake National park.

The plan is needed to guide the

protection and preservation of the

natural and cultural environments,

considering a variety of interpretive and

recreational visitor experiences that

28924 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 102 / Friday, May 25, 2001 / Notices

enhance the enjoyment and

understanding of the park resources.

The effort will result in a

comprehensive general management

plan that encompasses preservation of

natural and cultural resources, visitor

use and interpretation, roads, and

facilities. In cooperation with local and

national interests, attention will also be

given to resources and resource issues

shared by the park and its neighbors

that affect the integrity of park

resources.

Alternatives to be considered include

‘‘no action’’ and alternatives addressing

issues identified.

Major issues include management of

resources across jurisdictional

boundaries, levels and appropriateness

of access to resources within the park,

accommodation of winter lake-viewing,

and the adequacy of existing facilities to

accommodate modern demands

including administration and support

functions.

Scoping is the term given to the

process by which the scope of issues to

be addressed in the GMP/EIS is

identified. Representatives of Federal,

State and local agencies, American

Indian tribes, private organizations and

individuals from the general public who

may be interested in or affected by the

proposed GMP/EIS are invited to

participate in the scoping process by

responding to this Notice with written

comments.

All comments received will become

part of the public record and copies of

comments, including any names and

home addresses of respondents, may be

released for public inspection.

Individual respondents may request that

their home addresses be withheld from

the public record, which will be

honored to the extent allowable by law.

Requests to withhold names and/or

addresses must be stated prominently at

the beginning of the comments.

Anonymous comments will not be

considered. Submissions from

organizations or businesses, and from

individuals identifying themselves as

representatives or officials of

organizations or businesses, will be

made available for public inspection in

their entirety.

Because the responsibility for

approving the GMP/EIS has been

delegated to the National Park Service,

the EIS is a ‘‘delegated’’ EIS. The

responsible official is John J. Reynolds,

Regional Director, Pacific West Region,

National Park Service.

DATES: To ensure that all significant

issues pertaining to the plan are

identified, scoping comments will be

accepted at the following locations until

June 30, 2001.

ADDRESSES: A scoping brochure has

been prepared, that details the issues

identified to date. Copies of that and

other information regarding the General

Management Plan and Environmental

Impact Statement can be obtained from

the Superintendent, Crater Lake

National Park, P.O. Box 7, Hwy 62,

Crater Lake, OR 97604, telephone (541)

594–2211. Information is also available

at ww.nps.gov/planning/crla. Written

comments may also be sent to

CRLA_GMP@nps.gov. Written

comments on the scope of the issues

and alternatives to be analyzed in the

GMP/EIS should be received no later

than May 31, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Superintendent, Crater Lake National

Park, at (541) 594–2211.

Dated: May 1, 2001.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

National Institute of Corrections

Solicitation for a Cooperative

Agreement-Production of Ten Satellite/

Internet Video Programs

AGENCY: National Institute of

Corrections, Department of Justice.

ACTION: Solicitation for a Cooperative

Agreement.

SUMMARY: The Department of Justice

(DOJ), National Institute of Corrections

(NIC), announces the availability of

funds in FY 2002 for a cooperative

agreement to fund the production of ten

Satellite/Internet video programs. Five

of the proposed programs are separate,

individual, nationwide satellite/Internet

teleconferences (three hours each). The

other five are distance learning courses

delivered via a satellite/Internet. Three

of the five distance learning programs

are site coordinator/facilitator training

sessions (Training for Trainers). A site

coordinator precursor module will

contain eight hours of satellite/internet

training split over two days. The

remaining two are content-driven

training programs which will consist of

32 hours of training. We will have 16

hours of live-broadcast satellite/Internet

training over four days, (four hours each

day). The other 16 hours of off-air

activities will be directed by our trained

site coordinators. (Note: one of the

eight-hour training programs for site

coordinators will take place in FY02,

and the main program will be delivered

in FY03). There will be a total of 71

hours of broadcast time in FY 02.

Background

Distance learning is defined as a

training/education process transpiring

between trainers/teachers at one

location and participants/students at

other locations via technology. NIC is

using the satellite broadcasting and the

Internet to economically reach more

correctional staff in federal, states and

local agencies. Another strong benefit of

satellite delivery is its ability to

broadcast programs conducted by

experts in the correctional field. The

entire audience can be reached at the

same time with exactly the same

information. Everyone will be reading

from the same page. In addition, NIC is

creating training programs from its

edited 32 hours programs that will be

disseminated through its Information

Center.

Purpose: The purposes of funding this

initiative are:

(1) Produce five three-hour satellite/

Internet videoconferences,

disseminating current information to the

criminal justice community:

(2) Produce three eight-hour training

sessions for site coordinators/

facilitators. This is designed to train the

facilitators from each registered site

concerning the outcomes expected and

in the knowledge and skills to facilitate

the off-air activities;

(3) Produce two 16-hour sessions of

distance learning training that responds

directly to the needs identified by

practitioners working in the criminal

justice arena. The satellite training will

be delivered four hours each day,

Monday through Thursday.

Scope of Work: To address the scope

of work for this project, the following

will be needed:

1. Producer Consultation and Creative

Services

The producer will: (a) consult and

collaborate on program design, program

coordination, design of field segments

and content development with NIC’s

Distance Learning Manager; (b) work

with each individual consultant and

develop their modules for delivery

using the distance learning format and/

or the teleconference format; (c) help

develop scripts, graphic design,

production elements and rehearsal for

each module of the site coordinations’

training and the distance learning

training; (d) use their expertise in

designing creative ways to deliver

satellite teleconferencing. The producer

will also be responsible for attending

planning meetings and assisting in the
