Letterman Complex, The Presidio of San Francisco, Notice of
approval of Record of Decision for the Final Environmental Impact
Statement and Planning Guidelines

AGENCY: The Presidio Trust.

ACTION: Notice of Approval of Record of Decision.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (Pub. L. 91-90 as amended), and the regulations
promulgated by the Council on Environmental Quality (40 CFR 1505.2),
the Presidio Trust (Trust) has prepared and approved a Record of
Decision (ROD) for the Final Environmental Impact Statement and
Planning Guidelines for New Development and Uses on 23 Acres within the
Letterman Complex (FEIS), The Presidio of San Francisco, San Francisco,
California (Presidio). The FEIS is a supplement to the 1994 Final
General Management Plan Amendment (GMPA) EIS for the Presidio. The ROD
documents the decision and rationale for selecting a development
alternative for the 23-acre site in compliance with the mandates of the
Presidio Trust Act and as guided by the GMPA. The ROD is a concise
statement of the decision, alternatives considered, the nature of
public involvement, and mitigating measures developed to avoid or
minimize environmental impacts. Comments received on the FEIS and
responses are also attached to the ROD.

DATES: The Trust has selected for implementation Alternative 5, the
Digital Arts Center (identified as the proposed action in the FEIS), as
the development alternative for the 23-acre site, and will implement
the selected proposal as soon as practicable. This alternative and five
other alternatives were fully examined in the Draft EIS that was
publicly circulated and filed with the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) on April 23, 1999 (64 FR 23296-97) and the FEIS
that was publicly circulated and filed with the EPA on March 17, 2000
(65 FR 14558). The Presidio Trust Board of Directors reviewed and
considered the ROD after an extended no-action period, and authorized
the Trust's Executive Director to finalize and approve the ROD, which
was signed on May 24, 2000.
