Draft Environmental Impact Statement/General Management Plan, Minidoka Internment National Monument, Jerome County, ID; Notice of Extension oF Public Scoping Period

In accord with Sec. 102(c) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321, et seq.), the National Park Service is undertaking a conservation planning and environmental impact analysis process for the first General Management Plan (GMP) for the Minidoka Internment National Monument, Idaho. An Environmental Impact Statement will be prepared concurrently with the GMP. The GMP is intended to set forth the basic management philosophy for this new unit of the National Park System and provide strategies for addressing issues and achieving identified management objectives for that unit, thus serving as a "blueprint" to guide management of natural and cultural resources and visitor use during the next 15-20 years. The notice of intent initiating scoping for this effort was published in the Federal Register on April 24, 2002, with the original public scoping period set to conclude on September 30, 2002. In an effort to comprehensively involve all interested parties and to solicit additional concerns and information about management issues that should be addressed, the scoping period has been extended through December 2002.
