    In accordance with Public Law 103-332, the National Park Service 
announces that the public review period for the draft Erie Canalway 
report, a special resource study of the New York State Canal System, 
will be extended. Formal public comments regarding the study, which 
includes an environmental assessment, will be accepted until September 
30, 1998.
    A special resource study is used by the National Park Service to 
evaluate a resource for national significance and to assess its 
suitability and feasibility for possible federal designation and 
further National Park Service involvement. Based on the results of this 
assessment, the study presents a range of possible management 
alternatives.
    The draft Erie Canalway report, a special resource study of the New 
York State Canal System, is available for review at most local 
libraries throughout the canal corridor in Upstate New York. Copies are 
also available at the Boston Support Office of the National Park 
Service, 15 State Street, Attn: Ellen Levin Carlson, Boston, MA 02109. 
Call 617-223-5048 for further information. In addition, NPS staff will 
be participating in a number of meetings being sponsored by local 
community groups and institutions throughout the summer. Watch for 
meeting notices in local newspapers and newsletters.
Lawrence D. Gail,
Superintendent.
