PRESIDIO TRUST


The Presidio of San Francisco, California; Amendment of Notice of
Intent and Extension of the Public Comment Period for the Presidio
Trust Implementation Plan Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement

AGENCY: The Presidio Trust.

ACTION: Amendment of initial Notice of Intent to conduct public scoping
and prepare a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement and extension
of scoping period.

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

SUMMARY: The Presidio Trust (Trust) is amending its Notice of Intent
published on June 30, 2000 (65 FR 40707) to add a third public scoping
meeting and make factual corrections. The Trust is also extending the
previously announced scoping period from November 15, 2000 to December
8, 2000 to provide additional time for the public to make views known
regarding the Presidio Trust Implementation Plan (PTIP) Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS). The PTIP EIS is a supplement to the 1994 Final
General Management Plan Amendment (GMPA) EIS for the Presidio.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 30, 2000, the Trust announced its
intention to prepare a Supplemental EIS for PTIP and to hold two public
scoping meetings to determine the scope of impact topics and
alternatives to be addressed in the Supplemental EIS (first NOI; 65 FR
40707-08). The first public workshop on July 12, 2000 addressed scoping
issues and solicited public comment regarding the range of issues,
alternatives, and specific impacts to be evaluated in the Supplemental
EIS. A second workshop, not originally planned but widely announced
through a variety of media and held on September 13, 2000, solicited
comments on financial planning concepts that will help shape the
alternatives to be evaluated in the EIS. A third workshop, previously
planned for October 11, 2000 and now rescheduled for November 15, 2000
will present conceptual alternatives to be addressed in the EIS and
visions for the Presidio's future. The extension of the scoping period
until December 8, 2000 will enable the public to review and comment on
the

alternatives prior to their being analyzed in the EIS.
    In addition to schedule changes, the first NOI stated an intent to
prepare an ``amendment'' to the 1994 GMPA. Due to the term
``amendment'' causing public confusion, the Trust is clarifying that
the comprehensive plan to be prepared and analyzed through the
Supplemental EIS will update the 1994 GMPA for Area B (the area of the
Presidio under the Trust's jurisdiction) and be adopted by the Trust
Board of Directors as the governing comprehensive plan for Area B. It
will retain many elements of the 1994 GMPA, but will update others that
have been affected by changes since the GMPA was finalized. The GMPA
will remain the governing plan for Area A of the Presidio under the
jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park
Service (NPS).

PUBLIC MEETING: The Trust will solicit public comments on the
conceptual alternatives proposed for analysis in the EIS and on visions
for Area B of the Presidio at the third of three public scoping
workshops on Wednesday, November 15, 2000 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Log
Cabin (Building 1299), Fort Scott at the Presidio.

ADDRESSES: Written comments concerning the content of the plan and the
scope of the Supplemental EIS should be sent by December 8, 2000 to
John Pelka, NEPA Compliance Coordinator, The Presidio Trust, 34 Graham
Street, P.O. Box 29052, San Francisco, CA 94129-0052. Fax: 415-561-
