I. Abstract
The 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. The information
requested is used to determine whether
or not the proposed transaction will
result in an adverse impact on the
protection, conservation, or preservation
of the resources of the unit of the
National Park System; decreased
services to the public; the lack of a
reasonable opportunity for profit over
the remaining term of the authorization;
or rates in excess of 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 fees,
belongs 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.
II. Data

Operations, 36 CFR 51, Subpart J.

Draft Environmental Impact Statement
on Brooks River Visitor Access for
Katmai National Park and Preserve
National Park Service, Interior.
Notice of availability of the
Draft Environmental Impact Statement

on Brooks River Visitor Access for
Katmai National Park and Preserve.
The National Park Service
(NPS) announces the availability of a
Draft Environmental Impact Statement
(DEIS) on Brooks River Visitor Access
for Katmai National Park and Preserve.
The document evaluates the
environmental impacts of four action
alternatives that include bridge and
boardwalk systems to replace the
existing Brooks River floating bridge
and sites to relocate the existing Naknek
Lake barge landing area at the mouth of
the Brooks River. A no-action
alternative is also evaluated. If
implemented, this EIS would amend the
access provisions of the 1996 Brooks
River Area Final Development Concept
Plan and Environmental Impact
Statement.
This notice announces the public
comment period, the locations of public
meetings, and solicits comments on the
DEIS.
DATES: Comments on the DEIS must be
received no later than August 21, 2012.
ADDRESSES: Written comments on the
DEIS should be submitted to Glen
Yankus, National Park Service, 240
West 5th Avenue, Anchorage, Alaska
99501.
Submit comments electronically
through the NPS Planning, Environment
and Public Comment system (PEPC) at
http://parkplanning.nps.gov. The DEIS
may be viewed and retrieved at this
Web site as well. Hard copies of the
DEIS are available by request from the
aforementioned address. See
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION for the
locations of public meetings.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Glen
Yankus, National Park Service,
Telephone: (907) 644–3535.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Five
alternatives for access at the Brooks
River area of Katmai National Park are
presented in the EIS. Alternative 1 (the
no-action alternative) presents a
continuation of current management
direction and is included as a baseline
for comparing the consequences of
implementing each alternative.
Alternatives 2–5 present different ways
of providing access to and within the
Brooks River area.
Alternative 1 (No Action): This
alternative represents a continuation of
the existing situation. The no-action
alternative would maintain seasonal use
of the floating bridge, which is 8 feet
wide and about 320 feet long. The
bridge would be used by both
pedestrians and light utility vehicles.
NPS would continue to install and
remove the bridge each spring and fall.
