DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

Notice of Availability of a Finding of No 

Significant Impact for the Wireless 

Telecommunication Plan/ 

Environmental Assessment; Rock 

Creek Park, Washington, DC 

AGENCY: Department of the Interior, 

National Park Service. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability of a 

Finding of No Significant Impact for the 

Wireless Telecommunication Plan and 

Environmental Assessment, Rock Creek 

Park, Washington, DC. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 42 

U.S.C. 4332(2)(C), and to 40 CFR 

1501.4(e), the National Park Service 

(NPS) has prepared, and hereby 

announces the availability of a Notice of 

Availability of a Finding of No 

Significant Impact (FONSI) for the 

Wireless Telecommunication Plan and 

Environmental Assessment, Rock Creek 

Park, Washington, DC. The plan will 

provide all administered units of Rock 

Creek Park with a consistent framework 

for protecting park resources during the 

consideration of ‘‘right-of-way permit’’ 

applications and other inquiries 

submitted to the park for the 

construction, operation, and 

maintenance of wireless 

telecommunication facilities (WTF). 

The FONSI includes a project 

background, a description of the 

relevant legal authorities impacting the 

Wireless Telecommunications Plan, a 

description of the selected alternative, a 

synopsis of other alternatives 

considered, a description of the 

environmentally preferable alternative, 

a discussion of why the selected 

alternative will not have a significant 

impact on the human environment, how 

it will not impair park resources or 

values, and a description of public 

involvement in the planning process. 

Pursuant to NPS policy, it also includes 

as attachments responses to public 

comments and errata sheets 

DATES: The FONSI is dated January 29, 

2009, and it is available on the Planning 

Environment and Public Comment 

(PEPC) Web site at http:// 

www.parkplanning.nps.gov/rocr. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of the FONSI can be 

requested in person at Rock Creek Park, 

3545 Williamsburg Lane, NW., 

Washington, DC 20008, or by phone 

(202) 895–6000. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Adrienne Applewhaite-Coleman, 

Superintendent, Rock Creek Park: 3545 

Williamsburg Lane, NW., Washington, 

DC 20008; (202) 895–6004; or by e-mail: 

Adrienne_ApplewhaiteColeman@nps.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

FONSI summarizes one selected 

alternative that meets the goals of both 

the preferred alternative and the 

preferred environmental alternative for 

siting WTF within Rock Creek Park. The 

document also describes the other 

alternatives, but does not provide an 

analysis. The alternatives analysis can 

be found in the Wireless 

Telecommunication Plan and 

Environmental Assessment. The 

selected alternative outlined in the 

FONSI will guide the future siting, 

building and permitting of WTF in Rock 

Creek Park. The NPS decided to develop 

this Plan in its 2003 FONSI on the 2003 

Environmental Assessment of the park’s 

existing WTF, which resulted from 

litigation about those WTF. 

Selected Alternative 

Under the selected alternative, the 

park has identified areas where coverage 

gaps for wireless telecommunication 

service exist and encourages applicants 

to site facilities in these areas provided 

no conflicts with the park mission and 

planned uses exist. In these areas,
