DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

Denali National Park and Preserve 

Aircraft Overflights Advisory Council 

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent of Establish an 

Aircraft Overflights Advisory Council. 

SUMMARY: This notice is published in 

accordance with section 9(a) of the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act of 

1972 (5 U.S.C. Appendix). Following 

consultation with the General Services 

Administration, notice is hereby given 

that the Secretary of the Interior has 

formally established the Denali National 

Park and Preserve Aircraft Overflights 

Advisory Council to provide advice and 

recommendations on mitigation of 

impacts from aircraft overflights at 

Denali National Park and Preserve. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Michael J. Tranel, Denali National Park 

and Preserve, 240 W. 5th Avenue, 

Anchorage, Alaska, 99501, (907) 644–

3611, Mike_Tranel@nps.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Denali National Park and Preserve 

Aircraft Overflights Advisory Council 

has been established in accordance with 

the Denali National Park and Preserve’s 

2006 Backcountry Management Plan 

and EIS. The plan concluded that air 

travel is an important means of access 

for backcountry users, and that scenic 

air tours are an important means for 

other park visitors to access and enjoy 

Mount McKinley and adjoining scenic 

peaks and glaciers. However, the 

cumulative impact of these tours, plus 

the additional aircraft traffic, must be 

mitigated to protect park resource 

values and the quality of the visitor 

experience. The plan calls for an aircraft 

overflights advisory group that will 

develop voluntary measures for assuring 

the safety of passengers, pilots, and 

mountaineers, and for achieving 

standards that represent desired future 

resource conditions at Denali. The 

National Park Service needs the advice 

of this group to develop effective 

mitigation measures that will be 

acceptable to stakeholders. The Council 

will be composed of individuals that 

represent a broad range of interests, 

including air taxi operators, commercial 

aviation, local landowners, the State of 

Alaska, the Federal Aviation 

Administration, climbers and other 

parks users, and the environmental 

community. 

Certification: I hearby certify that the 

administrative establishment of the 

Denali National Park and Preserve 

Aircraft Overflights Advisory Council is 

necessary and in the public interest in 

connection with performance of duties 

imposed on the Department of the 

Interior by the Act of August 25, 1916, 

16 U.S.C. 1 et seq., and other statutes 

relating to the administration of the 

National Park System. 

Dated: September 4, 2007.

AGENCY: National Park Service, 

Department of Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of availability of a 

Record of Decision on the Final 

Environmental Impact Statement for the 

Cape Cod National Seashore Hunting 

Program, Cape Cod National Seashore. 

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. section 

4332(2)(c), the National Park Service 

announces the availability of the Record 

of Decision for the Final Environmental 

Impact Statement (FEIS) for the Cape 

Cod National Seashore Hunting 

Program, Cape Cod National Seashore, 

Massachusetts. On September 18, 2007, 

the Regional Director, Northeast Region 

approved the Record of Decision for the 

project. As soon as practicable, and as 

described in the Record of Decision, the 

National Park Service will begin to 

implement the Preferred Alternative 

contained in the FEIS issued on August 

10, 2007. The following course of action 

will occur under the preferred 

alternative. Cape Cod National Seashore 

will increase hunting opportunities for 

native upland game bird species; apply 

adaptive management to phase out the 

pheasant stocking and hunting program; 

simplify and clearly delineate hunting 

areas and increase the ‘‘no-hunting’’

safety buffers along bike paths; expand 

hunting-related outreach to hunting and 

non-hunting users; and undertake 

cooperative monitoring and 

management of game species. This 

course of action and two alternatives 

were analyzed in the Draft and Final 

Environmental Impact Statements. The 

full range of foreseeable environmental 

consequences was assessed. 

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, and an overview of public 

involvement in the decision-making 

process.
