DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

Bison Brucellosis Remote Vaccination, 

Draft Environmental Impact Statement, 

Yellowstone National Park, WY 

AGENCY: National Park Service, 

Department of the Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability of the 

Draft Environmental Impact Statement 

for a Bison Brucellosis Remote 

Vaccination Program, Yellowstone 

National Park. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 42 

U.S.C., 4332(2)(C), the National Park 

Service announces the availability of the 

Bison Brucellosis Remote Vaccination 

Draft Environmental Impact Statement 

(EIS) for Yellowstone National Park. 

This planning effort will result in a 

decision determining whether or not to 

implement remote delivery of a vaccine 

to free-ranging bison inside Yellowstone 

National Park. Three alternatives will be 

considered including no-action, hand 

and remote delivery vaccination of 

young non-pregnant bison, and hand 

and remote delivery vaccination of 

young and adult female bison. The no 

action alternative is to continue the 

currently authorized syringe vaccination 

of calves and yearlings periodically 

captured in pens at the Park boundary. 

The two remote delivery alternatives 

include the continuation of the hand 

delivery program described under no 

action. The difference between the two 

remote delivery alternatives is in the age 

category of bison being targeted for 

remote delivery. One of the remote 

delivery alternatives includes adult 

female bison. A preferred alternative has 

not been identified in the draft EIS. The 

final EIS will include a preferred 

alternative. 

The NPS requests comments on the 

draft EIS from the public, Federal 

agencies, States agencies, local 

governments and Tribal governments. 

DATES: The National Park Service will 

accept comments on the Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement from 

the public for 60 days after the date the 

Environmental Protection Agency 

publishes this Notice of Availability. No 

public meetings are scheduled at this 

time. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of the draft EIS will 

be available on the Internet at http:// 

parkplanning.nps.gov/yell and at the 

Yellowstone Center for Resources, 

Yellowstone National Park, P.O. Box 

168, Yellowstone National Park, 

Wyoming 82190–0168 (307) 344–2203.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

National Park Service agreed in the 2000 

Record of Decision for the Interagency 

Bison Management Plan to evaluate an 

in-park, remote delivery vaccination 

program for bison. The purpose of 

remote delivery vaccination is to deliver 

a low risk, effective vaccine to eligible 

bison inside the park to (1) decrease the 

probability of bison shedding Brucella 

abortus, (2) lower the brucellosis 

infection rate, and (3) increase tolerance 

for bison on essential winter ranges in 

Montana. 

If you wish to comment, you may 

submit your comments by any one of 

several methods. You may mail 

comments to the Bison Ecology and 

Management Office, Center for 

Resources, P.O. Box 168, Yellowstone 

National Park, Wyoming 82190. You 

may also comment via the Internet at 

http://parkplanning.nps.gov/yell. 

Finally, you may hand-deliver 

comments to the Center for Resources at 

27 Officer’s Row in Yellowstone 

National Park, Wyoming. Comments 

will not be accepted by facsimile, 

electronic mail, or methods other than 

those specified above. Before including 

your address, phone number, e-mail 

address, or other personal identifying 

information in your comment, you 

should be aware that your entire 

comment—including your personal 

identifying information—may be made 

publicly available at any time. While 

you can ask us in your comment to 

withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we
