SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act, 
the National Park Service is preparing an environmental impact 
statement for the General Management Plan for Fort Bowie National 
Historic Site. This statement will be approved by the Regional 
Director, Intermountain Region.
    The plan is needed to guide the protection and preservation of the 
natural and cultural environments considering a variety of interpretive 
and recreational visitor experiences that enhance the enjoyment and 
understanding of the park resources.
    The effort will result in a comprehensive general management plan 
that encompasses preservation of natural and cultural resources, 
visitor use and interpretation, roads, and facilities. In cooperation 
with local and national interests, attention will also be given to 
resources outside the boundaries that affect the integrity of park 
resources.
    Alternatives to be considered include no-action, the preferred 
alternative, and other alternatives addressing the following questions:
    To clearly describe specific resource conditions and visitor 
experiences in various management units throughout the park and

from the park. Comments on this notice must be received by July 10,
