SUMMARY: This notice announces the intent to prepare an Environmental 
Impact Statement for the further development of a Comprehensive 
Management Plan for the Maurice National Scenic and Recreational River

scoping, issue identification, and visioning during the study phase of 
the Maurice River, during the development of Local River Management 
Plans for the Maurice River and an Ecotourism Plan for the region, as 
well as through the interpretive concept planning process.
    The National Park Service is accepting comments from the public on 
scoping and issue identification. Anyone with comments should contact 
Mary Vavra, National Park Service Program Manager, by letter or 
telephone.

For Further Information Contact: Mary Vavra, Program Manager, National
