Katmai Hunting Guide Concessions EA

An environmental assessment (EA) in which the National Park Service proposes to alter existing guide areas and client numbers associated with hunting guide concessions within Katmai National Preserve. In the past, NPS has authorized two hunting guide concessions in Katmai National Preserve: the Moraine guide area occupies the majority of the Preserve, and the Sugarloaf guide area occupies the southwest corner of the Preserve. The current contract period will end on December 31, 2012. The EA was written to analyze impacts of the proposed actions, alternative actions, and a no-action alternative. The comment period for the EA will extend 30 days, beginning June 22, 2012 and ending July 23, 2012.

In response to requests for a 30-day extension on the comment period from NPCA, Alaska Center for the Environment, and Go-See Bears because of concurrent reveiws of NPS EISs, the NPS has agreed to a 10-day extension to review and comment on this EA.
