I have determined that the damage in
certain areas of the State of Washington
resulting from a severe winter storm, straightline winds, flooding, landslides, mudslides,
and a tornado during the period of December
1–14, 2015, is of sufficient severity and

and approval of projects.
AGENCY:
We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (Service), announce the
Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 priority list of
wildlife and sport fish conservation
projects from the Association of Fish
and Wildlife Agencies (AFWA). As
required by the Wildlife and Sport Fish
Restoration Programs Improvement Act
of 2000, AFWA submits a list of projects

to us each year to consider for funding
under the Multistate Conservation Grant
Program. We reviewed the list and have
awarded all the grants from the list.
ADDRESSES: John C. Stremple, Multistate
Conservation Grants Program
Coordinator; Wildlife and Sport Fish
Restoration Program; U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service; 5275 Leesburg Pike;

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John
C. Stremple, (703) 358–2156 (phone) or
John_Stremple@fws.gov (email).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Fish
and Wildlife Programs Improvement
and National Wildlife Refuge System
Centennial Act of 2000 (Improvement
Act, Pub. L. 106–408) amended the
Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration
Act (16 U.S.C. 669 et seq.) and the
Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration
Act (16 U.S.C. 777 et seq.) and
established the Multistate Conservation
Grant Program. The Improvement Act
authorizes us to award grants of up to
$3 million annually from funds
available under each of the restoration
acts, for a total of up to $6 million
annually. Projects can be funded from
both funds depending on the project
activities. We may award grants to
projects from a list of priority projects
recommended to us by the Association
of Fish and Wildlife Agencies. The
Service Director, exercising the
authority of the Secretary of the Interior,
need not fund all projects on the list,
but all projects funded must be on the
list.
The Improvement Act provides that
funding for Multistate grants is available
in the year it is appropriated and for the
following year. Total funding for the FY
2016 Multistate Conservation grants is
in excess of $6 million due to funding
that has been carried over from FY 2015,
as well as the availability of funding
that had previously been sequestered.
Grantees under this program may use
funds for sport fisheries and wildlife
management and research projects,
boating access development, hunter
safety and education, aquatic education,
fish and wildlife habitat improvements,
and other purposes consistent with the
enabling legislation.
To be eligible for funding, a project
must benefit fish and/or wildlife
conservation for at least 26 States, for a
majority of the States in any one Service
Region, or for one of the regional
associations of State fish and wildlife
agencies. We may award grants to a
State, a group of States, or one or more
nongovernmental organizations. For the
purpose of carrying out the National
Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and
E:\FR\FM\11FEN1.SGM

7372
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 28 / Thursday, February 11, 2016 / Notices
Wildlife-Associated Recreation, we may
award grants to the Service, if requested
by AFWA, or to a State or a group of
States. Also, AFWA requires all project
proposals to address its National
Conservation Needs, which AFWA
announces annually at the same time it
requests proposals. Further, applicants
must provide certification that no
activities conducted under a Multistate
Conservation Grant will promote or
encourage opposition to regulated
hunting or trapping of wildlife, or to
regulated angling or taking of fish.
AFWA committees and interested
nongovernmental organizations that
represent conservation organizations,
sportsmen’s and women’s organizations,
and industries that support or promote
fishing, hunting, trapping, recreational
shooting, bowhunting, or archery review
and rank eligible project proposals.
AFWA’s Committee on National Grants
recommends a final list of priority
projects to the directors of the State fish
and wildlife agencies for their approval
by majority vote. By statute, AFWA then
transmits the final approved list to the
Service for funding under the Multistate
Conservation Grant program by October
1 of the fiscal year. This year, AFWA
sent us a list of 18 projects that they
recommended for funding. We awarded
all of the recommended projects for FY
2016. The list follows:

Multistate Conservation Grant Program; Fiscal Year 2016 Priority
List and Approval for Award of the Conservation Projects
AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of receipt of priority list and approval of projects.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce the
Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 priority list of wildlife and sport fish
conservation projects from the Association of Fish and Wildlife
Agencies (AFWA). As required by the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration
Programs Improvement Act of 2000, AFWA submits a list of projects to us
each year to consider for funding under the Multistate Conservation
Grant Program. We reviewed the list and have awarded all the grants
from the list.
ADDRESSES: John C. Stremple, Multistate Conservation Grants Program
Coordinator; Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program; U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service; 5275 Leesburg Pike; MS: WSFR; Falls Church, VA 22041-
3808.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John C. Stremple, (703) 358-2156
(phone) or John_Stremple@fws.gov (email).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Fish and Wildlife Programs Improvement
and National Wildlife Refuge System Centennial Act of 2000 (Improvement
Act, Pub. L. 106-408) amended the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife
Restoration Act (16 U.S.C. 669 et seq.) and the Dingell-Johnson Sport
Fish Restoration Act (16 U.S.C. 777 et seq.) and established the
Multistate Conservation Grant Program. The Improvement Act authorizes
us to award grants of up to $3 million annually from funds available
under each of the restoration acts, for a total of up to $6 million
annually. Projects can be funded from both funds depending on the
project activities. We may award grants to projects from a list of
priority projects recommended to us by the Association of Fish and
Wildlife Agencies. The Service Director, exercising the authority of
the Secretary of the Interior, need not fund all projects on the list,
but all projects funded must be on the list.
The Improvement Act provides that funding for Multistate grants is
available in the year it is appropriated and for the following year.
Total funding for the FY 2016 Multistate Conservation grants is in
excess of $6 million due to funding that has been carried over from FY
2015, as well as the availability of funding that had previously been
sequestered.
Grantees under this program may use funds for sport fisheries and
wildlife management and research projects, boating access development,
hunter safety and education, aquatic education, fish and wildlife
habitat improvements, and other purposes consistent with the enabling
legislation.
To be eligible for funding, a project must benefit fish and/or
wildlife conservation for at least 26 States, for a majority of the
States in any one Service Region, or for one of the regional
associations of State fish and wildlife agencies. We may award grants
to a State, a group of States, or one or more nongovernmental
organizations. For the purpose of carrying out the National Survey of
Fishing, Hunting, and
[[Page 7372]]
Wildlife-Associated Recreation, we may award grants to the Service, if
requested by AFWA, or to a State or a group of States. Also, AFWA
requires all project proposals to address its National Conservation
Needs, which AFWA announces annually at the same time it requests
proposals. Further, applicants must provide certification that no
activities conducted under a Multistate Conservation Grant will promote
or encourage opposition to regulated hunting or trapping of wildlife,
or to regulated angling or taking of fish.
AFWA committees and interested nongovernmental organizations that
represent conservation organizations, sportsmen's and women's
organizations, and industries that support or promote fishing, hunting,
trapping, recreational shooting, bowhunting, or archery review and rank
eligible project proposals. AFWA's Committee on National Grants
recommends a final list of priority projects to the directors of the
State fish and wildlife agencies for their approval by majority vote.
By statute, AFWA then transmits the final approved list to the Service
for funding under the Multistate Conservation Grant program by October
1 of the fiscal year. This year, AFWA sent us a list of 18 projects
that they recommended for funding. We awarded all of the recommended
projects for FY 2016. The list follows:
