# SUMMARY:

Public comment received on the Draft General Management Plan/Environmental Impact Statement (GMP/EIS) indicated additional detail was needed to adequately understand National Park Service management proposals for the national area. In order to include more detail, it is necessary to consider management options for the national area's roads and trails.

                        Anticipating a separate, concurrent effort to prepare a Roads and Trails Management Plan (RTMP)/EIS for the national area, a Notice of Intent was previously published in the                         **Federal Register**                        . Since planning for roads and trails will now be incorporated into the GMP/EIS, a separate RTMP/EIS will not be prepared. The GMP/EIS will now cover management actions concerning roads and trails. Because substantial revision of parts of the previous draft is anticipated, the National Park Service will be prepared and distributing a Supplemental Draft GMP/EIS. A Notice of Availability of the Supplemental Draft GMP/EIS will be published at the appropriate time.                    

# DATES:

The planning process is expected to extend through September 2001, with the primary proposal formulation stage expected to end by May 2001.
