RESPONSE<br />

I10-6 The administration of concession contracts is out of scope of this EIS. Please contact the park's chief of concessions for<br />

further information on concession permits.<br />

I10-7 The number of private vessel entries would not diminish under the NPS preferred alternative in the FEIS (alternative 6).<br />

Alternative 6 eliminates the seasonal entry quota which allows the same 25 vessels to only be present in any one day. In<br />

its place a seasonal-use day would be used which allows a total of 25 vessels to be present in Glacier Bay on any one<br />

day; however, they do not have to be the same 25 vessels. This allows more flexibility in the regulations <strong>and</strong> a greater<br />

variety of private vessel visitors to experience the park.<br />

I10-8 Please see general response comment 4.<br />

I10-9 The effects of non-motorized vessels will be assessed in the Backcountry Management Plan <strong>and</strong> Environmental Impact<br />

Statement which is currently under development.
