Notice of Termination of the Restoration Plan/Programmatic 
Environmental Impact Statement for Seagrass Restoration Within Biscayne 
National Park

AGENCY: National Park Service, Department of the Interior.
SUMMARY: The National Park Service (NPS) is terminating the Restoration 
Plan/Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (RP/PEIS) for Seagrass 
Restoration within Biscayne National Park. A Notice of Intent to 
prepare this RP/PEIS was published in the Federal Register on February 
17, 2006. After public scoping and a preliminary analysis of impacts 
related to seagrass restoration at Biscayne National Park, the NPS 
determined that the impacts of the identified seagrass restoration 
alternatives considered would be at or below the minor/negligible 
level. Consequently, the RP/PEIS is not necessary and NPS decided to 
terminate the RP/PEIS. The NPS intends to continue the current practice 
of evaluating seagrass restoration activities and its impacts at 
Biscayne National Park on a site-specific basis, as appropriate.
