over time as additional funding and 

resources are secured. 

Under Alternative D, Fort King would 

highlight the site’s strong association 

with nationally significant historical 

events and interpretive themes. 

Alternative D takes an aggressive 

approach to site development. Its larger 

initial investment in cultural landscape 

rehabilitation and visitor service 

infrastructure is intended to quickly 

establish the name recognition and 

credibility necessary to attract higher 

profile partners and compete for private 

and public financing. 

It is the practice of the NPS to make 

comments, including names and home 

addresses of respondents, available for 

public review during regular business 

hours. Anonymous comments will not 

be considered. We will make 

submissions from organizations or 

businesses, and from individuals 

identifying themselves as 

representatives or officials of 

organizations or businesses, available 

for public inspection in their entirety. 

However, individual respondents may 

request that we withhold their names 

and addresses from the public record, 

and we will honor such requests to the 

extent allowed by law. If you wish to 

withhold your name/address, you must 

state that request prominently at the 

beginning of your comment.

Notice of Availability of a Record of 

Decision for the Selma to Montgomery 

National Historic Trail Comprehensive 

Management Plan and Final 

Environmental Impact Statement 

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

of the National Environmental Policy 

Act of 1969, the National Park Service 

(NPS) announces the availability of the 

Record of Decision (ROD) for the Selma 

to Montgomery National Historic Trail 

Comprehensive Management Plan and 

Final Environmental Impact Statement 

(CMP/EIS). The ROD provides the 

background of the CMP/EIS, other 

alternatives considered, the basis for the 

decision, the environmentally preferable 

alternative, and public involvement in 

the decision-making process. The ROD 

was approved by the Southeast Regional 

Director on August 30, 2005. The CMP/ 

EIS provides a framework for the 

management, use, and development of 

the National Historic Trail by the NPS 

and its partners over the next 15 to 20 

years. Beginning at Brown Chapel AME 

Church in Selma, Alabama, the trail 

follows the route of the March 1965 

Selma to Montgomery voting rights 

march, traveling through Lowndes 

County along U.S. Highway 80, and 

ending at the Alabama State Capitol in 

Montgomery. The CMP/EIS describes 

four management alternatives for 

consideration and analyzes the 

environmental impacts of those 

alternatives. As soon as practicable, the 

NPS will begin to implement the plan 

and the preferred alternative, known as 

Alternative C. Of the four alternatives 

presented in the plan, Alternative C 

stresses the broadest range of 

interpretive themes relating to the 

events of March 1965 and provides an 

extensive plan for resource preservation, 

protection, and commemoration. Among 

its priorities is the coordinated 

protection of historically intact 

viewsheds along US Highway 80, the 

most extensive certification of 

commemorative sites and streetscapes, 

design proposals for new park spaces, 

and marked walking and biking rails. 

Alternative C also outlines a strategy for 

establishing interpretive centers and 

development of corresponding 

interpretive programs in Selma, 

Montgomery, and Lowndes County. 

DATES: The ROD was signed by the 

Southeast Regional Director on August 

30, 2005.
