of the project on State and local 

governments were also analyzed. 

Decisions in the SEIS ROD approve the 

concentrated phased development of the 

oil and gas resource, while providing 

protection and mitigation for wildlife, 

air, water and other project related 

impacts, including a monitoring and 

mitigation fund. 

The SEIS ROD resulted from a 

collaborative process that included the 

State of Wyoming, the Environmental 

Protection Agency, county and 

municipal governments, tribal 

governments, and other Federal 

agencies. Public comments from many 

individuals and organizations were also 

considered in the Draft and Final SEIS 

and contributed to the decisions in the 

ROD. 

The Notice of Intent to prepare a SEIS 

for the Pinedale Anticline Oil and Gas 

Exploration and Development Project 

was published in the Federal Register 

on October 21, 2005. A Notice of 

Availability (NOA) for the Draft SEIS 

was published on December 15, 2006. 

Based on public comments, the BLM 

determined that two additional 

alternatives needed to be analyzed and 

made available for public review. A 

NOA for a Revised Draft SEIS was 

published on December 28, 2007. The 

public comment period on the Revised 

Draft SEIS closed February 11, 2008.

Final Environmental Impact Statement 

for the General Management Plan, for 

Manassas National Battlefield Park, VA 

AGENCY: Department of the Interior, 

National Park Service. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability of the 

Final Environmental Impact Statement 

for the General Management Plan for 

Manassas National Battlefield Park. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 42 

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

Service (NPS) announces the 

availability of a Final Environmental 

Impact Statement for the General 

Management Plan for Manassas National 

Battlefield Park (FEIS/GMP). The 

General Management Plan will guide 

management decisions related to 

cultural and natural resources, 

visitation, and park development for the 

next 15 to 20 years. The responsible 

official is Mr. Joseph M. Lawler, 

Regional Director, National Capital 

Region. 

DATES: A 30-day no action period will 

follow publication by the 

Environmental Protection Agency of the 

Notice of Availability of the FEIS/GMP. 

ADDRESSES: Information will be 

available for public review in the Office 

of the Superintendent, Manassas 

National Battlefield Park, 12521 Lee 

Highway, Manassas, Virginia 20109– 

2005. Copies of the document may also 

be accessed via Internet connection at 

the NPS Planning, Environment, and 

Public Comment (PEPC) Web site at 

http://parkplanning.nps.gov. Paper and 

electronic copies on CD–ROM of the 

FEIS/GMP are also available by request. 

Interested persons and organizations 

can request copies by telephone at (703) 

754–1861, by e-mail at

request to Mr. Ed W. Clark,

Battlefield Park, 12521 Lee Highway, 

Manassas, Virginia 20109–2005. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement for the 

General Management Plan was on 

review from December 31, 2005, to 

February 27, 2006. Responses to public 

comment are addressed in the FEIS/ 

GMP. 

The FEIS/GMP analyzes three 

alternatives for managing Manassas 

National Battlefield Park. The plan is 

intended to provide a foundation to 

help park managers guide park 

programs and set priorities for the 

management of the park for the next 15 

to 20 years. The FEIS/GMP analyzes the 

environmental impacts of the 

alternatives considered on natural and 

cultural resources, visitor experience 

and interpretation, transportation 

within the park, and park operations. 

Alternative A, the no-action 

alternative, is a continuation of present 

management approaches regarding 

visitor experience and resource 

protection. Alternative B, the preferred 

alternative, would focus on providing a 

comprehensive look at both battles. The 

preferred alternative, as it was described 

in the Draft Environmental Impact 

Statement for the General Management 

Plan, has been modified in the FEIS/ 

GMP based on public and agency 

comments that were received during the 

review period for the Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement for the 

General Management Plan. Alternative 

C would focus on providing a 

comprehensive look at the defining 

moments of the two battles.
