ACTION:
8. Motivational Issues Affecting
Implementation
We suggest that consideration be
given to examining what further
motivational issues may impact whether
the programs are implemented and
sustained with fidelity. These include:
appeal of materials and activities for the
population to be served, appeal of
materials and activities for the staff who
will implement the programs, support of
the program for the preexisting goals
and programs of the site (e.g., schoolbased programs that support
academics), how well the program
otherwise integrates with existing goals,
programs, and activities of the site (e.g.,
teachers are expected to direct student
discussions, but not therapy), support
offered for adapting the program to
specific local populations, fit of
materials to the typical structures of the
setting (e.g., short enough lessons to fit
within a class period, necessary
equipment is usually available in the
setting).

Background
A Conservation Agreement is an
effective, proactive way to address
conservation of species that have not yet
been listed under the Endangered
Species Act but that face identifiable
risks. Early conservation actions
preserve management options, minimize
the cost of recovery, and reduce the
potential for restrictive land use policies
in the future. Addressing the needs of
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 208001
species before the regulatory restrictions
associated with listed species come into
play often allows greater management
flexibility to stabilize or restore these
species and their habitats. In addition,
as threats are reduced and populations
are increased or stabilized, priority for
listing can be shifted to those species in
greatest need of the Endangered Species
Act’s protective measures. Ideally,
sufficient threats can be removed to
eliminate the need for listing.
There are an estimated 16,000 yellowbilled loons worldwide. Approximately
3,300 breed in the freshwater treeless
tundra of Alaska. They breed
abundantly on the North Slope, and
sparsely in western Alaska, primarily
north of Unalakleet and the foothills of
the Brooks Range. Yellow-billed loons
nest exclusively in coastal and inland
low-lying tundra from 62–74° N
latitude, in association with permanent,
fish-bearing lakes. Populations are
thought to be limited primarily by
breeding habitat, specifically nesting
and brood-rearing lakes (North 1994).
Lakes that support breeding loons have
abundant fish populations; depths
greater than 2 meters (m) (6.5 feet) and
water under the ice during winter; large
areas; connections to streams which
may supply fish; highly convoluted,
vegetated, and low-lying shorelines; and
clear water and dependable water.
Breeding lakes may be near but not
connected to major rivers, possibly
because fluctuating river water levels
can flood nests or cause turbidity that
compromises foraging success.
In northern Alaska, yellow-billed
loons breed on lands within the
National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska
(NPR–A) and on State of Alaska lands
between the Colville and the Canning
Rivers. In western Alaska, yellow-billed
loons are found breeding primarily
along the coastal fringe of the Seward
Peninsula on Selawik National Wildlife
Refuge (NWR), administered by the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS);
Cape Krusenstern National Monument
and Bering Land Bridge National
Preserve, administered by the National
Park Service (NPS); and on scattered
small parcels of Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) and Alaska Nativeowned lands. Small numbers of yellowbilled loons have also been found
nesting on Alaska Native-owned lands
on St. Lawrence Island.
The goal of this Agreement is to
protect yellow-billed loons and their
breeding, brood-rearing, and migrating
habitats in Alaska, such that current or
potential threats in these areas are
avoided, eliminated or reduced to the
degree that the species will not become
PO 00000
Frm 00091
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
threatened or endangered from these
threats within the foreseeable future.
The parties entering into this
conservation agreement are the Alaska
Department of Fish and Game, the
Alaska Department of Natural
Resources, and the U.S. Department of
the Interior (U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service; Bureau of Land Management;
and National Park Service). This
Agreement identifies agency
commitments to implement specific
actions to protect yellow-billed loons
and their habitats from potential
impacts of land uses and management
activities, to inventory and monitor
yellow-billed loon populations, to
investigate and reduce the impact of
subsistence activities (harvest and
fisheries bycatch), and to conduct
related biological research. We do not
expect any concrete effects to the
private sector from the conservation
measures in the agreement. The term of
the agreement is 10 years.
We will consider all information
received during the public comment
period on this conservation agreement.
Substantive technical comments may
result in changes to the conservation
agreement. Substantive comments
regarding conservation agreement
implementation may not necessarily
result in changes to the Agreement, but
will be forwarded to the appropriate
Federal agency or other entities so that
they can take these comments into
account during the course of
implementing Agreement actions.
Individual responses to comments will
not be provided.
Public Comments Solicited
Our practice is to make comments,
including names and home addresses of
respondents, available for public review
during regular business hours.
Individual respondents may request that
we withhold their home address, which
we will honor to the extent allowable by
law. If you wish us to withhold your
name or address, you must state this
request prominently at the beginning of
your comments. However, we will not
consider anonymous comments. To the
extent consistent with applicable law,
we will make all submissions from
organizations or businesses, and from
individuals identifying themselves as
representatives or officials of
organizations or businesses, available
for public inspection in their entirety.
