Background
Planning Requirements
The National Wildlife Refuge System
Administration Act of 1966 (Refuge
Administration Act), as amended by the
National Wildlife Refuge System
Improvement Act of 1997 (16 U.S.C.
668dd–668ee), requires the Service to
develop a comprehensive conservation
plan for each national wildlife refuge.
The purpose in developing a
comprehensive conservation plan is to
provide refuge managers with a 15-year
strategy for achieving refuge purposes
and contribute toward the mission of
the National Wildlife Refuge System,
consistent with sound principles of fish
and wildlife management, conservation,
legal mandates, and Service policies. In
addition to outlining broad management
direction on conserving wildlife and
their habitats, plans identify wildlifedependent recreational opportunities
available to the public, including
opportunities for hunting, fishing,
wildlife observation, wildlife
photography, and environmental
education and interpretation.
A step-down RMP would address
research goals, objectives, and strategies
for research actions and include
findings of appropriateness of a refuge
use, and compatibility determinations
for all research activities proposed for or
occurring on Palmyra Atoll and
Kingman Reef NWRs.
The Service will prepare separate
environmental assessments for the CCP
and RMP pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of
1969, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et
seq.); NEPA Regulations (40 CFR parts
1500–1508); other appropriate Federal
laws and regulations; and our policies
and procedures for compliance with
those laws and regulations.
We establish each unit of the National
Wildlife Refuge System with specific
purposes. We use these purposes to
develop and prioritize management
goals and objectives within the National
Wildlife Refuge System mission, and to
