elements, including: (1) Conservation of
the Refuge’s fish and wildlife
populations and habitats in their natural
diversity; (2) facilitation of subsistence
use by local residents; (3) access for
traditional activities; and (4)
conservation of resource values,
including cultural resources,
wilderness, and rivers. The final revised
CCP will detail programs, activities, and
measures necessary to best administer
the Refuge to protect these values and
fulfill Refuge purposes over the next 15
years. Until the revised CCP is
completed, management will continue
to be guided by the original CCP,
Federal legislation regarding
management of National Wildlife
Refuges, and other legal, regulatory, and
policy guidance. The original CCP was
approved in 1988.
Public Involvement
We plan to hold public involvement
activities in communities within the
Refuge. We plan to visit every one of the
occupied villages within the Refuge at
least once during plan revision. With
appropriate advance notice, scoping
meetings will be held between October
15, 2007, and the end of February 2008,
as weather and other conditions permit.
We will also be accepting comments via
mail, e-mail, telephone, and through
personal contacts throughout the
planning process.
Public Availability of Comments
Before including your name, address,
phone number, e-mail address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask us in your comment
to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
