Federal Register / Vol. 70, No.
79 / Tuesday, April 26, 2005 / Notices
and contribute to further refinement of
these modifications the National Park
Service is publishing a Revised Draft.
This draft contains four new alternatives
and an accompanying Environmental
Impact Statement. A Record of Decision
is expected in the fall of 2005.
Alternative 1 (No Action): Current and
projected conditions under this
alternative provide a baseline for
evaluating the changes and impacts of
the other action alternatives. The NPS
would continue the present
management direction, guided by the
1986 General Management Plan, the
1997 Entrance Area and Road Corridor
Development Concept Plan, the 1997
South Side Denali Development
Concept Plan, the 1997 Strategic Plan,
and backcountry management plans
from 1976 and 1982. Recreational use
and access patterns would continue to
develop, and NPS would respond as
necessary on a case-by-case basis. No
new services or facilities would be
developed to meet increased levels of
use in the backcountry, except for those
identified in the Entrance Area or South
Side plans. This alternative represents
‘‘no action’’ for this plan. For all
activities, the NPS would respond to
changing use patterns as necessary to
protect park resources, visitor safety,
and visitor experience.
Alternative 2: This alternative would
distinguish a unique Denali experience
based on dispersed use in a wilderness
landscape with few sights or sounds of
people or mechanized civilization.
There would be few services, facilities,
or signs of management presence. This
alternative would most clearly
distinguish the backcountry experience
in Denali from the surrounding lands,
providing a place primarily for visitors
who are very self-reliant, and would
include many opportunities for
extended expeditions in very remote
locations. Backcountry users seeking
other experiences would find those
opportunities on neighboring lands.
Alternative 3: This alternative would
provide opportunities for a variety of
wilderness recreational activities by
establishing areas to serve those visitors
who want to experience the wilderness
resource values of the Denali
backcountry but require services,
assistance, or have a limited amount of
time. The areas would be the minimum
necessary to provide these experiences
based on present demand and would be
focused along the park road in the Old
Park and Kantishna and at the existing
high activity areas at the Ruth Glacier
and the Kahiltna Base Camp. The
majority of the backcountry would be
managed for dispersed, self-reliant
travel and would include opportunities
VerDate jul<14>2003 11:52 Apr 25, 2005 Jkt 205001
21441
for extended expeditions in very remote
locations.
Alternative 4 (NPS Preferred
Alternative): This alternative would also
provide opportunities for a variety of
wilderness recreational activities and
experiences by establishing areas to
serve those visitors who want to
experience the wilderness resource
values of the Denali backcountry but
require services, assistance, or have a
limited amount of time. However, the
areas would be of sufficient size to
accommodate anticipated growth in the
next 20 years and would be focused
along the park road in the Old Park and
Kantishna; at the Ruth, Tokositna, and
Kahiltna Glaciers; and in the Dunkle
Hills/Broad Pass area. The remainder of
the backcountry would be managed for
dispersed, self-reliant travel and would
include opportunities for extended
expeditions in very remote locations.
Alternative 5: This alternative would
create two distinct geographic areas that
provide different kinds of visitor
experiences in the Denali backcountry.
The Old Park and the Denali additions
north of the Alaska Range would be
primarily managed for dispersed, self-
reliant travel although no areas would
be managed specifically to preserve
opportunities for extended expeditions
in remote locations. Areas along the
park road and in Kantishna that
presently receive a relatively high
volume of use and large parts of the
additions south of the Alaska Range
would be managed for a greater
intensity and variety of appropriate
recreational activities and would have
more visible management presence and
opportunities for more services and
facilities.
Informational and Public Meetings
Informational meetings and public
hearings will be scheduled in Alaska at
the following locations: Anchorage,
Fairbanks, Healy, Susitna Valley, and
Cantwell. The specific dates and times
of the meetings and public hearings will
be announced in local media.
It is the practice of the National Park
Service to make comments, including
names and addresses of respondents,
available for public review. An
individual respondent may request that
we withhold his or her address from the
record, which we will honor to the
extent allowable by law. If you wish to
have NPS withhold your name and/or
address, you must state this
prominently at the beginning of your
comments. NPS will make all
submissions from organizations or
businesses, and from individuals
identifying themselves as
representatives or officials of

a Final Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS) for the Folsom Dam Road
Restricted Access action. The action
would entail a long-term decision on the

access.
A Notice of Availability of the Draft
EIS was published in the Federal
Register on Friday, December 3, 2004
(69 FR 70278). The written comment

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Final
EIS addresses impacts from restricted
access across Folsom Dam Road based
on security issues and potential disaster
flood inundation. The Preferred
Alternative is the Restricted Access
Alternative number two. The EIS also
addresses a No-Action alternative that
would reopen the road to public use
similar to pre-2003 conditions, an
alternative to keep the Road closed
permanently to public access and two
restricted access alternatives that
includes the preferred alternative, and
that restrict Folsom Dam Road access
using a combination of vehicle
inspections and restrictions on type and
number of vehicles, and time of use.
The Final EIS has identified the key
issues to include traffic and circulation,
socioeconomics, air quality, and
recreation. In addition to the key issues
listed above, Reclamation has identified
other items that have also been included

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Office of Community Oriented Policing
Services; FY 2005 Community Policing
Discretionary Grants
AGENCY: Office of Community Oriented
Policing Services, Department of Justice.
ACTION: Notice of availability.
SUMMARY: The Department of Justice
Office of Community Oriented Policing
Services (COPS) announces the
availability of funds over the Tribal
Resources Grant Program. This program
is designed to meet the most serious
needs of law enforcement in Indian
communities through a comprehensive
grant program that will offer a variety of
funding options including: New,
additional police officer positions; basic
and/or specialized training for sworn
law enforcement officers; training in
community policing, grants
management and computer training;
uniforms and basic issue equipment;
department-wide technology; and police
vehicles. This program, which
complements the COPS Office’s efforts
to fund and support innovative
community policing, will enhance law
enforcement infrastructures and
community policing efforts in tribal
communities which have limited
resources and are affected by high rates
of crime and violence. Applications
should reflect the department’s most
serious law enforcement needs and
must link these needs to the
implementation or enhancement of
community policing.
All federally recognized tribes with
established police departments are
eligible to apply. Federally recognized
tribes may also apply as a consortium
with a written partnership agreement
that names a lead agency and describes
how requested resources will serve the
consortium’s population. In addition,
tribes that are currently served by
Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) law
enforcement may request funding under
this grant program to supplement their
existing police services. Tribes whose
law enforcement services are
exclusively provided by local policing
agencies through a contract agreement
are not eligible under the COPS TRGP
program.
DATES: Applications will be available in
April 2005. Federal recognized tribes or
villages that wish to apply may request
