<br />Wilderness Hearings <br />One of the finest new public land planning procedures introduced by <br />the Wilderness Act is the opportunity for the public to express its views <br />on the preliminary wilderness proposals prior to these proposals being <br />firmly established for recommendations to the Congress. These hearings <br />are held in the State in which the wilderness is proposed. <br /> <br />Notice of such public hearings is published in the Federal Register and <br />newspapers having general circulation in the area of the park at least <br />60' days prior to the hearings. During th is 60' ,day period, the Master <br />Plan documents are available for public review at the park, in the <br />appropriate Regional Office, and in the Washington Office. Moreover, <br />public information packets explaining national park wilderness <br />proposals are available at the same time for distribution to all those <br />requesting them. <br /> <br />The Wilderness Act requires that the public hearing be held on the <br />wilderness proposals only. However, it is the practice of the National <br />Park Service to make available the general development plan for the <br />park or monument at the time the preliminary wilderness proposal is <br />released. The Service welcomes public comments and views on these <br />plans. Moreover, once the Congress has defined the wilderness areas <br />within the national parks and monuments, it shall be the practice of the <br />National Park Service to give public notice of 60 days on any proposal <br />to change the classification of any Class I, Class II, or Class III lands <br />within the park or monument. In this way, the Service shall afford the <br />public a continuing opportunity to participate in the planning and <br />management of its national parks and monuments. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Now 30 days. On August 10, 1972, the Department of the Interior <br />published a notice in the Federal Register reducing the minimum <br />period for public notice of wilderness hearings from 60 days to 30 <br />days, bringing the administrative procedures for wilderness hearings <br />in line with all the departmental procedures for public hearings and <br />publication of notices in the Federal Register. In all instances, when <br />practicable, the National Park Service intends to give more than the <br />minimum 30-day notice. In addition to this advance notice of <br />wilderness public hearings, the hearing record will remain open for <br />30 days after the hearing date to receive written comments from <br />interested persons or public officials. <br /> <br />14 <br />
