SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental

availability of the draft environmental impact statement and general 
management plan (DEIS/DGMP) for Arkansas Post National Memorial (ARPO).

DATES: The DEIS/DGMP will remain available for public review on or 
after March 17, 2003. No public meetings are scheduled at this time.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the DGMP/DEIS are available by request by writing 
to Arkansas Post National Memorial, 1741 Old Post Road, Gillett, 
Arkansas 72055, by telephoning 870-548-2207, or by e-mail arpo--

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Edward E. Wood, Jr., Superintendent, 
Arkansas Post National Memorial, 1741 Old Post Road, Gillett, Arkansas 
72055, telephone 870-548-2207, or John Paige, Job Captain, Denver 
Service Center, 12795 West Alameda Parkway, PO Box 25287, Denver, CO 
80225-0287, telephone 303-969-2356.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ARPO consists of two units, the Memorial 
unit, and Osotouy unit. Together they commemorate the human settlement 
near the confluence of the Arkansas and Mississippi Rivers and the 
events associated with the first European settlement in the lower 
Mississippi River Valley. This is accomplished by interpreting and 
fostering an appreciation of the interaction of all cultural groups, 
their histories, and their significance to the region. The purpose of 
the general management plan is to set forth the basic management 
philosophy for ARPO and to provide strategies for addressing issues and 
achieving identified management objectives. The DGMP/DEIS describes and 
analyzes the environmental impacts of the proposed action and two 
action alternatives for the future management direction of ARPO. A no 
action alternative is also evaluated. Our practice is to make comments, 
including names and home addresses of respondents, available for public 
review. Individual respondents may request we withhold their home 
address from the record, which we will honor to the extent allowable by 
law. There may also be circumstances where we would withhold from the 
record a respondent's identify, as allowable by law. If you wish us to 
withhold your name and/or address, you must state this prominently at 
the beginning of your comment. However, we will not consider anonymous 
comments. We will make all submissions from organizations or 
businesses, and from individuals identifying themselves as 
representatives or officials or organizations or businesses, available 
for public inspection in their entirety.

    Dated: December 10, 2002.
William W. Schenk,
Regional Director, Midwest Region.
