Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 

CFR 207.2(f)).

participate in these reviews. 

interpretation would be promoted by 

providing programs and partnerships 

with local schools. Wildlife observation 

and photography opportunities would 

be expanded, including construction of 

photo blinds and observation towers. 

Information guides and signage that 

highlight refuge management programs, 

as well as unique wildlife habitats, 

would also be developed. The refuge 

would also undertake efforts to improve 

road maintenance in order to provide 

better visitor access. 

A visitor center and headquarters 

office would be constructed on the 

refuge, with space for interpretation, 

environmental education, and staff. 

Research studies on the refuge would 

continue to be fostered and partnerships 

developed with universities and other 

agencies, with the refuge providing 

needed resources and study sites. 

Research on the refuge would also 

provide benefits to conservation efforts 

throughout the Lower Mississippi River 

Valley to preserve, enhance, restore, and 

manage bottomland hardwood habitat. 

Inventorying and monitoring of birds, 

freshwater mussels, reptiles, and 

amphibians would be continued and 

expanded in order to assess population 

trends, correlate with environmental 

pressures, and provide baseline data to 

be used in development of appropriate 

management strategies. 

Providing additional staff (e.g., 

wildlife biologist, biological technician, 

outdoor recreation planner, seasonal 

maintenance worker, and full-time law 

enforcement officer) would enable the 

Service to fully develop and manage 

fish and wildlife resources and habitats, 

an offer environmental educational 

programs that promote a greater 

understanding of both natural and 

cultural resources. 

Under this alternative, the refuge 

would continue to acquire lands within 

the present acquisition boundary for 

compatible wildlife-dependent public 

recreation and environmental education 

opportunities. 

Tracts that provide better-quality 

habitat and connectivity to existing 

refuge lands would receive higher 

priority for acquisition. The refuge 

would use other important acquisition 

tools, including land exchanges, 

partnerships with conservation 

organizations, conservation easements 

with adjacent landowners, and leases/ 

cooperative agreements.

ACTION: Notice of Availability of a 

Record of Decision on the Final 

Environmental Impact Statement for the 

Final Environmental Impact Statement 

for the General Management Plan,

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 102(2)(C) 

of the National Environmental Policy 

Act of 1969, 83 Stat. 852, 853, codified 

as amended at 42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(C), the 

National Park Service announces the 

availability of the Record of Decision for 

the General Management Plan, Final 

Environmental Impact Statement, 

Colorado National Monument, 

Colorado. On August 31, 2005, the 

Director, Intermountain Region, 

approved the Record of Decision for the 

project. As soon as practicable, the 

National Park Service will begin to 

implement the Preferred Alternative 

contained in the FEIS issued on June 6, 

2005. The following course of action 

will occur under the preferred 

alternative: Weave Colorado National 

Monument into the regional ecosystem 

on the northeastern edge of the Colorado 

Plateau by pursuing common 

stewardship goals with government 

agencies, tribes, educational 

institutions, and communities. 

This course of action and 2 

alternatives were analyzed in the Draft 

and Final Environmental Impact 

Statements. The full range of foreseeable 

environmental consequences was 

assessed, and appropriate mitigating 

measures were identified. 

The Record of Decision 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, an 

overview of public involvement in the 

decision-making process, and finding 

that the alternative selected for 

implementation will not impair park 

resources or values and will not violate 

the NPS Organic Act.
