Notice of Availability of Draft General Management Plan/

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental 
Policy Act of 1969, 42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(c), the National Park Service 
(NPS) announces the availability of a draft General Management Plan/
Environmental Impact Statement (GMP/EIS) for Lincoln Home National 
Historic Site, Illinois.

DATES: The draft GMP/EIS will remain available for public review for 60 
days following the publishing of the notice of availability in the 
Federal Register by

[[Page 30850]]

the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Public meetings will be held 
during the 60-day review period on the GMP/EIS in Springfield, 
Illinois, in summer 2010.
    You may submit your comments by any one of several methods. You may 
comment via the Internet through the national planning site at http://www.parkplanning.nps.gov/liho. You may mail comments to Superintendent, 
Lincoln Home National Historic Site, 413 South Eighth Street, 
Springfield, Illinois 62701-1905. You may contact the Superintendent by 
facsimile at 217-492-4673. Finally, you may hand-deliver comments to 
the Lincoln Home National Historic Site headquarters at the address 
above.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the draft GMP/EIS are available from the 
Superintendent, 413 South Eighth Street, Springfield, Illinois 62701-
1905.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This GMP/EIS will guide the management of 
the Lincoln Home National Historic Site for the next 20 years. The 
draft GMP/EIS considers four draft conceptual alternatives--a no-action 
and three action alternatives, including the NPS preferred alternative. 
The draft GMP/EIS assesses impacts to cultural resources, visitor 
opportunities and use, socioeconomics, and NPS operations.
    The NPS preferred alternative focuses on rehabilitating the 
historic landscape to offer visitors a strong sense of the neighborhood 
as Lincoln knew it. This goal would be accomplished by extensive 
rehabilitation at the core of the site, but less extensive away from 
the core. The Lincoln lot would be restored if there is sufficient 
documentation.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Contact Superintendent, Lincoln Home 
National Historic Site, at the address or telephone number above.
    Before including your address, telephone number, electronic mail 
address, or other personal identifying information in your comments, 
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 comments to withhold your personal 
identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we 
will be able to do so. We will make all submissions from organizations 
or businesses, from individuals identifying themselves as 
representatives or officials, of organizations or businesses, available 
for public inspection in their entirety.

    Dated: April 30, 2010.

Regional Director, Midwest Region.
