SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Introduction
With this notice, we initiate our
process for developing a CCP revision
for Florida Panther NWR in Collier
County, Florida. This notice complies
with our CCP policy to: (1) Advise other
Federal and State agencies, NativeAmerican tribes, and the public of our
intention to conduct detailed planning
on this refuge and (2) obtain suggestions
and information on the scope of issues
to consider in the environmental
document and during development of
the CCP.

Background
The CCP Process
The National Wildlife Refuge System
Administration Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C.
668dd–668ee) (Administration Act), as
amended by the National Wildlife
Refuge System Improvement Act of
1997, requires us to develop a CCP for
each national wildlife refuge. The
original CCP for Florida Panther NWR
was completed in 2000. Since much has
changed in the intervening time, the
Service has determined that the CCP for
Florida Panther NWR needs to be
revised. The purpose for revising the
CCP is to provide refuge managers with
an updated 15-year plan for achieving
refuge purposes and contributing
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 232001
toward the mission of the National
Wildlife Refuge System, consistent with
sound principles of fish and wildlife
management, conservation, legal
mandates, and our policies. In addition
to outlining broad management
direction on conserving wildlife and
their habitats, CCPs identify wildlifedependent recreational opportunities
available to the public, including
opportunities for hunting, fishing,
wildlife observation, wildlife
photography, and environmental
education and interpretation. We will
review and update the CCP at least
every 15 years in accordance with the
Administration Act.
Each unit of the National Wildlife
Refuge System was established for
specific purposes. We use these
purposes as the foundation for
developing and prioritizing the
management goals and objectives for
each refuge within the National Wildlife
Refuge System mission, and to
determine how the public can use each
refuge. The planning process is a way
for us and the public to evaluate
management goals and objectives for the
best possible conservation approach to
this important wildlife habitat, while
providing for wildlife-dependent
recreation opportunities that are
compatible with the refuge’s
establishing purposes and the mission
of the National Wildlife Refuge System.
Our CCP process provides
participation opportunities for Tribal,
State, and local governments; agencies;
organizations; and the public. We
encourage input in the form of issues,
concerns, ideas, and suggestions for the
future management of Florida Panther
NWR.
We will conduct the environmental
review of this project in accordance
with the requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as
amended (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321 et
seq.); NEPA regulations (40 CFR 1500–
1508); other appropriate Federal laws
and regulations; and our policies and
procedures for compliance with those
laws and regulations.
Purposes of Florida Panther NWR
Established in 1989 and
encompassing 26,605 acres, Florida
Panther NWR’s purposes are to conserve
fish, wildlife, and plants that are listed
as threatened or endangered species
(Endangered Species Act of 1973) and
for the development, advancement,
management, conservation, and
protection of fish and wildlife resources
(Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956). Two
key Service documents played a strong
role in defining the purposes of Florida
Panther NWR; they prioritize the

protection and recovery of the Florida
panther: (1) The 1985 Fakahatchee
Strand Environmental Assessment,
which clearly states that the refuge area
should be acquired for the benefit and
recovery of the endangered Florida
panther; and (2) the 1995 and
subsequent 2008 revisions of the Florida
Panther Recovery Plan, which states
that the refuge is essential to the
survival of the Florida panther and that
the refuge should enhance habitat
conditions for the panther and its prey
species.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Federal Land Policy and Management
Act (FLPMA) directs the Secretary of the
Interior to involve the public in
planning and issues related to
management of lands administered by
the BLM. Section 309 of FLPMA (43
U.S.C. 1739) directs the Secretary to
establish 10- to 15-member citizenbased advisory councils that are
consistent with the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (FACA). As required by
FACA, Resource Advisory Council
(RAC) membership must be balanced
and representative of the various
interests concerned with the
management of the public lands. The
rules governing RACs are found at 43
CFR subpart 1784 and include the
following three membership categories:
Category One—Holders of Federal
grazing permits and representatives of
organizations associated with energy
and mineral development, timber
industry, transportation or rights-ofway, developed outdoor recreation, offhighway vehicle use, and commercial
recreation;
Category Two—Representatives of
nationally or regionally recognized
environmental organizations,
archaeological and historic
organizations, dispersed recreation
activities, and wild horse and burro
organizations; and
Category Three—Representatives of
State, county, or local elected office,
employees of a State agency responsible
for management of natural resources,
representatives of Indian tribes within
or adjacent to the area for which the
council is organized, representatives of
academia who are employed in natural
sciences, and the public-at-large.
Individuals may nominate themselves
or others. Nominees must be residents
of the State in which the RAC has
jurisdiction. The BLM will evaluate
nominees based on their education,
training, experience, and knowledge of
the geographical area of the RAC.
Nominees should demonstrate a
