Act (NEPA) of 1969, the National Park Service (NPS) announces the 
availability of an abbreviated Final Environmental Impact Statement 
(FEIS) for the Homestead National Monument of America General 
Management Plan (GMP). This document in conjunction with the Draft 
General Management Plan/Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) 
describes and analyzes the environmental impacts of a proposed action 
and two action alternatives for the future management of the park. A no 
action alternative also is evaluated. The DEIS for the proposal was on 
60-day public review from May 4, 1999 to July 10, 1999. The abbreviated 
final document includes responses to public comments on the DEIS and 
factual corrections to the DEIS.

DATES: A 30-day no action period will begin following release of the 
abbreviated FEIS. A Record of Decision will be made after this period; 
no sooner than December 12, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the abbreviated FEIS are available by request from 
the Superintendent, Homestead National Monument of America, 8523 West 
State Highway 4, Beatrice, Nebraska 68310-6743. Telephone 402-223-3514.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Superintendent, Homestead National 
Monument of America, at the address or telephone number above.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The GMP for Homestead National Monument is 
intended to provide a blueprint to guide park management decisions for 
the next 10-20 years. In keeping with National Park Service planning 
policy, the GMP is a holistic, long-term, policy-level view for the 
future of the monument. The plan does not address site-specific 
actions, which will be deferred to future implementation planning.

    Dated: November 5, 1999.
