accompanying DEIS assessed the

environmental and socioeconomic

impacts associated with each

alternative.

Substantive public and agency

comments were received on the draft

document during the 60-day comment

period that ended on July 10, 1995.

Most comments focused on the

following issues: changes proposed for

State Route 85; the range of alternatives

and suggestions for new alternatives;

costs associated with implementing

various elements of alternatives; and

mitigation strategies for the protection

of natural resources, especially

threatened and endangered species.

Based on an analysis of these comments,

the National Park Service has

determined that a supplemental draft

GMP/EIS will be prepared.

The supplemental draft GMP/EIS will

address the comments and suggestions

received during the initial public

comment period. The supplement will

include clarifications of the original

alternatives and a discussion of new

alternatives to be added since release of

the initial draft GMP/EIS. It will also

present an analysis of the environmental

consequences associated with each

alternative.

The official who is responsible for the

current GMP/EIA planning process is

Stanley T. Albright, Field Director,

Pacific West Area, National Park

Service. The supplemental draft GMP/

EIS is expected to be available for public

review in early 1996, and it will be

provided to all persons and

organizations who received the initial

DEIS. Upon approval, officials

responsible for implementing the plan

will be the Superintendent, Organ Pipe

Cactus National Monument, and the

Field Director, Intermountain Field

Area, National Park Service.

for Federal water resources planning for

fiscal year 1996 is 7.625 percent.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is

hereby given that the interest rate to be

used by Federal agencies in the

which: (1) Specify that the rate shall be

based upon the average yield during the

preceding fiscal year on interest-bearing

computation is made, have terms of 15

years or more remaining to maturity

(average yield is rounded to nearest oneeighth percent); and (2) provide that the

rate shall not be raised or lowered more

than one-quarter of 1 percent for any

year. The Treasury Department

calculated the specified average to be

7.58 percent. Rounding this average

yield to the nearest one-eighth percent

is 7.625 percent, which is within the

permissible one-quarter of 1 percent

change.
