SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Service has initiated the CCP for the
Rainwater Basin WMD with
headquarters in Kearney, Nebraska.
Each unit of the National Wildlife
Refuge System, including this WMD,
has specific purposes for which it was
established and for which legislation
was enacted. Those purposes are used to
develop and prioritize management
goals and objectives within the National
Wildlife Refuge System mission, and to
guide which public uses will occur on
the WMD. The planning process is a
way for the Service and the public to
evaluate management goals and
objectives for the best possible
conservation efforts of this important
wildlife habitat, while providing for
wildlife-dependent recreation
opportunities that are compatible with
each WMD’s establishing purposes and
the mission of the National Wildlife
Refuge System.
Rainwater Basin WMD was
established in 1963 when the Service
began acquiring critical migratory
waterfowl habitat in south-central and
southeastern Nebraska with Duck Stamp
dollars. Today, the Rainwater Basin
WMD manages 61 individual tracts of
land within the geographic area called
the Rainwater Basin. This WMD
encompasses a complex of wetlands
scattered throughout a 17-county area.
The wetlands are shallow basins that
provide resting and feeding areas for
millions of birds during spring and fall
migration. Historically, bison and
wildfire kept the wetlands open, with
annual plants growing during dry
summer months and droughts. With the
bison gone and wildfires controlled,
management has to be accomplished to
keep these wetlands in a condition
favored by ducks, geese, and other water
birds. Current public use opportunities
at this WMD include hunting, wildlife
observation and photography.
The Service will conduct a CCP
process that will provide an opportunity
for Tribal, State, and local governments;
agencies; organizations; and the public
to participate in issue scoping and
public comment. The Service is
requesting input for issues, concerns,
ideas, and suggestions for the future
management of the Rainwater Basin
WMD in south-central Nebraska.
Anyone interested in providing input is
invited to respond to the following three
questions.
(1) What makes the Rainwater Basin
WMD special or unique for you?
(2) What problems or issues do you
want to see addressed in the CCP?

(3) What improvements would you
recommend for the Rainwater Basin
WMD?
The Service has provided the above
questions for your optional use; you are
not required to provide information to
the Service. The Planning Team
developed these questions to facilitate
finding out more information about
individual issues and ideas concerning
the Rainwater Basin WMD. Comments
received by the Planning Team will be
used as part of the planning process;
individual comments will not be
referenced in our reports or directly
responded to.
An opportunity will be given to the
public to provide input at open houses
to scope issues and concerns (schedules
can be obtained from the Planning Team
Leaders at the above addresses).
Comments may also be submitted
anytime during the planning process by
writing to the above addresses. All
information provided voluntarily by
mail, phone, or at public meetings
becomes part of the official public
record (i.e., names, addresses, letters of
comment, input recorded during
meetings). If requested under the
Freedom of Information Act by a private
citizen or organization, the Service may
provide informational copies.
The environmental review of this
project will be conducted in accordance
with the requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of
1969, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et
seq.); NEPA Regulations (40 CFR 1500–
1508); other appropriate Federal laws
and regulations; and Service policies
and procedures for compliance with
those regulations. All comments
received from individuals on Service
Environmental Assessments and
Environmental Impact Statements
become part of the official public
record. Requests for such comments will
be handled in accordance with the
Freedom of Information Act, NEPA (40
CFR 1506.6(f)), and other Departmental
and Service policy and procedures.
When requested, the Service will
generally provide comment letters with
the names and addresses of the
individuals who wrote the comments.
However, the telephone number of the
commenting individual will not be
provided in response to such requests to
the extent permissible by law.

other identifying information. Such
