Planning, Environment and Public Comment 
The National Park Service prepares a variety of planning and environmental documents to help guide it in managing park resources. These documents can range from site-specific impact analyses on facility locations to broader park-wide plans for future use and management of a park. The Planning, Environment and Public Comment site contains all of the currently active plans and environmental documents for the National Park Service.

These pages provides access to any current plans, environmental impact analyses, and related documents on public review. Your opinion does count, so please provide feedback and submit comments for any documents available for public review.
