Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska; Commercial Fishing Regulations

Resumo

The National Park Service (NPS) announces that the public comment period for the proposed Glacier Bay National Park Commercial Fishing Regulations, published in the Federal Register on April 16, 1997 (62 FR 18547), has been extended to May 15, 1998. The original comment period was through October 15, 1997. This extension will allow the NPS, in a forthcoming environmental assessment on commercial fishing within Glacier Bay National Park, to fully describe and analyze the potential effects of a range of alternative actions under consideration. The public review and comment period for the environmental assessment and the proposed rule coincide. The NPS will hold public meetings on the proposal and alternatives and publish a schedule of times, dates and locations in the Federal Register. No final decisions will be reached until all applicable legal requirements have been met, including environmental review requirements.
