After the public review and comment period is over, then what happens?
The NPS will carefully consider all public comments received during the public review period. The NPS will then publish a Final GMP/EIS that includes the public comments received during the 60-day draft review period and the NPS responses to those comments. The Final GMP/EIS will identify the NPS’s final preferred alternative, which will incorporate the results of public review and comments. The Final GMP/EIS will be made available to the public for a 30-day “no action” period, as required under the National Environmental Policy Act. After 30 days from the release of the Final GMP/EIS, the Northeast Regional Director will review and sign a “Record of Decision” making the plan final. Once the Record of Decision is signed, the park will begin implementing the final GMP/EIS.
