2530 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 18 / Friday, January 26, 1996 / Notices

ACTION: Availability of final

environmental impact statement for the

proposed Beaver Basin Rim Road at

Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore,

Alger County, Michigan.

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

of the National Environmental Policy

Act (NEPA) of 1969, the National Park

Service (NPS) announces the

availability of a final environmental

impact statement (FEIS) for the

proposed Beaver Basin Rim Road in

Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. The

draft environmental impact statement

for the proposal was on 60-day public

review from January 20 to March 20,

1995.

The NPS proposes to construct a

paved road in Pictured Rocks National

Lakeshore along the Beaver Basin Rim.

The action is being proposed in

response to a mandate by Congress in

section 6 of the Act of October 15, 1966,

16 U.S.C. 460s-5(b)(1), establishing

Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore,

directing the development of a scenic

shoreline drive. The proposed action is

also consistent with and would

implement the management directions

of the 1981 general management plan

for the national lakeshore. The FEIS was

prepared by the NPS.

The NPS’s preferred alternative for

the Beaver Basin Rim Road is identified

in the FEIS as Alternative B: Shoreline

Zone Alignment. Under the preferred

alternative, a 13-mile long paved road

would be constructed in the shoreline

zone of Pictured Rocks National

Lakeshore. The proposed road would

connect on both ends with Alger County

Road H–58. Two spur roads would be

constructed off the main road to two

overlooks. These overlooks would

provide views of Beaver Basin, Beaver

Lake, Grand Portal Point, the Sevenmile

Creek area, and Lake Superior. Two

other alternatives are also considered:

The no action alternative, and an

alternative under which a new paved

road would be constructed within the

inland buffer zone of the national

lakeshore.

DATES: The 30-day no action period for

review of the FEIS will end on March

2, 1996. A record of decision will follow

the no action period.
