National Park Service FY 2013 Budget Justifications FY 2013 Program Performance Available funds will be directed to completing previously authorized studies first, then starting any newly authorized studies. Studies are authorized by Congress and requests may be legislated several times in any given year. Since 2008, the average length of time for each study has been reduced from 5.6 years to 4.5 years for completion. By FY 2015, the average length of time for each study should reach three years (from the time a new study is begun) at the current funding level. Fluctuations in this schedule are expected during peak periods, such as in 2009 when 19 additional studies were directed by Congress.

National Park Service FY 2013 Budget Justifications Activity: Management Planning Program Component: Environmental Impact Planning and Compliance Justification of FY 2013 Program Changes The FY 2013 budget request for the Environmental Impact Planning and Compliance program is $4,698,000 and 15 FTE, with no program changes from FY 2012 Enacted. Component Overview The Environmental Impact Planning and Compliance program supports parks, regions, and headquarters offices in the process of completing Environmental Impact Statements (EIS), Environmental Assessments (EA), and other compliance actions related to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) with a priority emphasis on legislatively or judicially mandated NEPA related compliance. This program also serves as the focal point for all matters relating to National Park Service NEPA planning and other related environmental mandates; provides NEPA-related technical assistance and training to parks, regions and WASO offices; and develops servicewide guidance on matters relating to NEPA planning and other federal resource protection mandates. The National Park Omnibus Management Act of 1998 and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) require park management decisions to be based on a full examination of alternatives and impacts and opportunities for public involvement. This program enhances the ability of the National Park Service to conduct legally defensible NEPA analyses that are scientifically based and that facilitate sound decisionmaking. In order to make NEPA and related compliance activities more efficient an integrated system to relate funding, planning, compliance and public comment has been developed and is in use for all NPS projects. This Planning, Environment, and Public Comment (PEPC) system assures better coordination and timely completion of compliance through use of one bureau-wide web based system. FY 2013 Program Performance • Enhance the ability of the environmental review database (ER2000) to minimize impacts to National Park System resources and values through continuous improvements. ER2000 is a webbased database of Servicewide environmental reviews which allows parks, regions, and central offices to access information on other agencies’ projects currently under review by the NPS. • Provide training to NPS regions and park units on bureau policies to implement the National Environmental Policy Act. • Continue to provide policy-related technical assistance and manage complex planning and NEPA compliance projects. Anticipated FY 2013 Environmental Impact Analysis Work: • Antietam NB, Monocacy NB and Manassas NB - Deer Management Plan/EIS • Big South Fork NR&RA - Oil and Gas Management Plan/EIS • Big South Fork NR&RA – Mitigate Coal Mine Drainage Pollution EIS • Big Thicket NPres - Supplemental Oil and Gas Management Plan/EIS • Cape Cod NS - Herring River Restoration EIS • Cape Lookout NS - Off-Highway Vehicle Management Plan/EIS • Death Valley NP – Saline Valley Management Plan/EIS • Fire Island NS – Deer Management Plan/EIS • George Washington MemPkwy - Dyke Marsh Restoration Plan • Golden Gate NRA - Pet Management, Public Use CONST-60 • Jefferson National Expansion Mem – Revitalization Plan EA • Lake Meredith NRA - Off Highway Vehicle Management Plan/EIS • Morristown NHP – Deer Management Plan/EIS • Mojave NPres – Springs and Wildlife Guzzler Management Plan • NPS – Servicewide Bicycle Regulations Revision • NPS – Nonfederal Oil and Gas Development Regulations Revision/EIS • Padre Island NS - Supplemental Oil and Gas Management Plan/EIS • Pea Ridge NMP – Integrated Vegetation Management Plan/EA • Point Reyes NS – Drakes Bay Oyster Farm Permit EIS • Point Reyes NS – Multi-park Exotic Plant
