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

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act
of 1969, as amended, the National Park Service is preparing an
environmental impact statement for the General Management Plan for
Appomattox Court House National Historical Park and is initiating the
scoping process for this document. This notice is in accordance with 40
CFR 1501.7 and 40 CFR 1508.22, of the regulations of the President's
Council on Environmental Quality for the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969, Public Law 91-190.

Background

    The purpose of the GMP/EIS will be to state the management
philosophy for the park and to provide alternatives for addressing
major issues facing the area. The alternatives will be based on the
mission and goals of the NPS and those of the park and will identify
the programs, actions and support facilities needed to manage and
preserve cultural and natural resources and to provide for safe,
accessible and appropriate use of those resources by visitors.
    Participation throughout the planning process will be encouraged
and facilitated by various means, such as public meetings and
newsletters. The NPS will conduct public scoping meetings to explain
the planning process and to solicit opinions about issues to address in
the GMP/EIS. The time and location of these meetings will be announced
in the local and regional media and through mailed notices. This notice
will also serve as an additional scoping method. Those wishing to
comment or express concerns on the management issues and future
management direction of Appomattox Court House National Historical Park
are invited to participate in the scoping process by responding to this
notice with written or e-mail comments.
    Contact Information: Requests to be added to the mailing list for
the project, questions and comments should be sent in writing to the
Superintendent, Appomattox Court House National Historical Park, P.O.
Box 218, Route 24, Appomattox, VA 24522 or via the Internet at

    Dated: April 6, 2001.
