ADDRESSES: The Draft GMP/EIS will be available for public review and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the National Environmental 
Policy Act of 1969, the National Park Service is preparing a Draft 
General Management Plan/Environmental Impact Statement (Draft GMP/EIS) 
for Assateague Island National Seashore (Seashore) to replace the 1982 
GMP which does not adequately address the issues facing the Seashore 
today. Once approved, the GMP will guide and direct management 
strategies for the future that support the protection of outstanding 
Mid-Atlantic coastal resources of Assateague Island and its adjacent 
waters and the natural processes upon which they depend and the 
provision of high quality, resource-compatible recreational 
experiences.
    The Draft GMP/EIS evaluates the continuation of current management 
(no action alternative) and three action alternatives with particular 
emphasis on how the park may respond to climate change and sea level 
rise and analyzes the environmental consequences of implementing any of 
the alternatives.
