Management Act of 1976, 43 U.S.C.
1714 (2000), it is ordered as follows:

opened to operation of the public land
laws generally, subject to valid existing
rights, the provisions of existing
withdrawals, other segregations of
record, and the requirements of
applicable law. All valid applications
received at or prior to 9 a.m. on January

Any such attempted appropriation,

governed by State law when not in

of Land Management will not intervene
in disputes between rival locators over
possessory rights since Congress has
provided for such determinations in
local courts.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to Jo A.
Pendry, Concession Program Manager,
National Park Service, 1849 C Street,
NW., (2410), Washington, DC 20240; e-
mail: jo_pendry@nps.gov; Phone: 202/
513–7144; Fax: 202/371–2090.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Proposed Sale of Concession
Operations.
OMB Control Number: 1024–0126.
Expiration Date of Approval: February
28, 2006.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
Description of Need: The National
Park Service (NPS) authorizes private
businesses known as concessioners to
provide necessary and appropriate
visitor facilities and services in areas of
the National Park System. Concession
authorizations may be assigned, sold,
transferred or encumbered by the
concessioner subject to prior written
approval of the NPS. The NPS requires
that certain information be submitted
for review prior to the consummation of
any sale, transfer, assignment, or
encumbrance.
16 U.S.C. 3 provides that no contract,
lease, permit or privilege granted for the
purpose of providing accommodations
for visitors to the national parks shall be
assigned or transferred by such grantees,
permitees, or licenses without the
approval of the NPS, first obtained in
writing. It further provides that the NPS
may authorize concessioners to execute
mortgages and issue bonds, shares of
stock, and other evidences or interest in
or indebtedness upon their rights,
properties and franchises, for the
purpose of installing, enlarging or
improving plants and equipment and
extending facilities for the
accommodation of the public within
national parks and monuments. 16
U.S.C. 20(3) also provides that the
possessory interest of a concessioner
may be assigned, transferred,
encumbered, or relinquished.
Regulations at 36 CFR, Part 51, require
that certain information be submitted
for review by the NPS prior to the
consummation of any sale, transfer,
assignment or encumbrance.
The information requested is used to
determine whether or not the proposed
transaction will result in deceased
services to the public, the lack of a
reasonable opportunity for profit over
the remaining term of the authorization,
or rates in excess of existing approved
rates to the public. In addition, pursuant
to the regulations at 36 CFR Part 51, the
value of rights for intangible assets such
as the concession contract, right of
preference in renewal, user days, or low
VerDate Aug<31>2005 00:22 Dec 13, 2005 Jkt 208001
fees belong to the Government. If any
portion of the purchase price is
attributable either directly or indirectly
to such assets, the transaction may not
be approved. The amount and type of
information to be submitted varies with
the type and complexity of the proposed
transaction. Without such information,
the NPS would be unable to determine
whether approval of the proposed
transaction would be adequate.
Send comments on: (1) The need for
the collection of information for the
performance of the functions of the
agency; (2) the accuracy of the agency’s
burden estimates; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility and clarity of the
information collection; (4) and ways to
minimize the information collection
burden on respondents, such as use of
automated means of collection of the
information.
Estimate of Burden: Approximately 8
hours per response.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
Approximately 20.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: One.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 1600 hours.
A list of information required to be
submitted with a request for sale,
assignment, transfer or encumbrance of
a concession authorization is set forth at
36 CFR Part 51.7.
Send comments regarding the
accuracy of the burden estimated, ways
to minimize the burden, including the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology, or any other aspect of this
collection to Jo A. Pendry, Concession
Program Manager, National Park
Service, Department of the Interior,
1849 C Street, NW. (2410), Washington,
DC 20240.
All responses to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval.
All comments will also become a
matter of public record.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
National Park Service
Notice of Availability of the Final
Environmental Impact Statement for
the General Management Plan, Lincoln
Boyhood National Memorial, IN
AGENCY: National Park Service,
Department of the Interior
SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 102(2)(C)
of the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969, 42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(C), the
National Park Service (NPS) announces
the availability of the final
environmental impact statement/general
management plan (EIS/GMP), Lincoln
Boyhood National Memorial, Indiana.
DATES: The draft EIS/GMP was on
public review for 60 days beginning on
June 17. Responses to substantive public
comments are addressed in the final
EIS/GMP. The NPS will execute a
record of decision (ROD) no sooner than
30 days following publication of the
Environmental Protection Agency’s
notice of availability of the final EIS/
GMP in the Federal Register.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the Final GMP/
EIS are available by request by writing
to the Superintendent at Lincoln
Boyhood National Memorial, P.O. Box
1816, Lincoln City, Indiana 47552–1816;
by telephoning the park office at (812)
937–4541; or by e-mail at
<randy_wester@nps.gov>. The
document is also available to be picked
up in person at the Lincoln Boyhood
National Memorial (Memorial). In
addition, the document can be found at
the Memorial Web site (http://
www.nps.gov/libo/pphtml/
documents.html), and at the Planning,
Environment, and Public Comment Web
site (http://parkplanning.nps.gov/).
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Superintendent, Lincoln Boyhood
National Memorial, P.O. Box 1816,
Lincoln City, Indiana 47552–1816.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
preferred alternative, the NPS would
emphasize a greater array of interpretive
opportunities, with the focus on the
history of the Lincoln family in
southern Indiana, and on the natural
and sociopolitical environment of the
times. The Lincoln Living Historical
Farm would retain its current character;
however, the interpretive program
would provide visitors with interpretive
opportunities and demonstrations
directly related to the Lincoln story and
the way in which the family likely lived
in Indiana. The Memorial building and
court would remain largely unchanged,
but new administrative offices would be
added to the rear of the structure. Where
