Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 218 / Monday, November 13, 2006 / Notices
In
response to the Central Valley Project
Improvement Act of 1992 and a 1995
Department of the Interior
administrative review process, the
Interagency Coordinated Program for
Wetland and Water Use Planning (ICP)
was formed. The ICP was comprised of
representatives from the Bureau of
Reclamation, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, the California Department of
Fish and Game, and the Grassland
Water District/Grassland Resource
Conservation District. The ICP
developed the 1998 Task Force Report,
which outlines past, present, and future
wetland planning and management
issues and a methodology for Refuge
Criteria. To continue the work of the
now disbanded ICP, an Interagency
Refuge Water Management Team
(IRWMT) was formed to continue
working on wetland issues such as
water delivery, including additional
work on wetland Refuge Criteria. The
IRWMT is comprised of representatives
from the Bureau of Reclamation, the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the
California Department of Fish and
Game, and the Grassland Water District/
Grassland Resource Conservation
District. The IRWMT used the 1998
Task Force Report and Reclamation’s
1999 Conservation and Efficiency
Criteria as the foundation for developing
the water management planning
requirements or criteria included in
these Refuge Criteria. The Refuge
Criteria also incorporated comments,
ideas, and suggestions from Refuge/
District managers, biologists, water
conservation specialists, engineers, the
CALFED Bay-Delta Program, and other
Central Valley stakeholders.
Our practice is to make comments,
including names and home addresses of
respondents, available for public
review. Individual respondents may
request that we withhold their home
address from public disclosure, which
we will honor to the extent allowable by
law. There also may be circumstances in
which we would withhold a
respondent’s identity from public
disclosure, as allowable by law. If you
wish us to withhold your name and/or
address, you must state this
prominently at the beginning of your
comment. 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 disclosure in their entirety.
Public comments for the Refuge Criteria
are now being accepted.
