Notice of Availability; Record of Decision, Marsh-Billings-
Rockefeller National Historical Park

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: The National Park Service announces the availability of the 
Record of Decision of the Final Impact Statement for the Marsh-
Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park General Management Plan.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The National Park Service has prepared the Record of Decision 
of the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Marsh-Billings-
Rockefeller National Historical Park General Management Plan pursuant 
to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and the regulations 
promulgated by the Council on Environmental Quality at 40 CFR 1505.2. A 
Record of Decision is a concise statement of the decision made, the 
basis for the decision, and the background of the project, including 
the decision making process, other alternatives considered, and public 
involvement. Concurrent with adopting this Record of Decision on the 
Final Environmental Impact Statement, Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller 
National Historical Park General Management Plan is approved.
    The National Park Service began planning for the management of 
Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park in 1993. The 
National Park Service presented and evaluated two management scenarios 
(the Proposal and the Alternative) in a Draft General Management Plan/
Draft Environmental Impact Statement. The draft plan underwent sixty 
days of public and interagency review. After considering public and 
agency comment, the National Park Service produced the Final 
Environmental Impact Statement, which was available to the public for 
thirty days beginning on June 23, 1999. The National Park Service took 
no action for the thirty-day period of public availability, after which 
time the Park Service prepared the Record of Decision, selecting the 
Proposal as the final plan. The Record of Decision is now approved and 
available to the public.
    Availability: Copies of the Record of Decision are available at 
Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park, 54 Elm Street, 
Woodstock, Vermont. For further information, please contact the 
Superintendent, Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park, PO 
Box 178, Woodstock, Vermont 05091; voice at (802) 457-3368; fax at 
(802) 457-3405.

    Dated: August 6, 1999.
