Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge Iroquois NWR was established in 1958 under the Migratory Bird Conservation Act for ‘‘* * *use as an inviolate sanctuary, or for any other management purpose, for migratory birds (16 U.S.C. 715d).’’ The refuge consists of more than 10,800 acres within the rural townships of Alabama and Shelby, New York, midway between Buffalo and Rochester. Freshwater marshes and hardwood swamps are bounded by forests, grasslands, and wet meadows. These areas serve the habitat needs of both migratory and resident wildlife, including waterfowl, songbirds, mammals, and amphibians, as well as numerous indigenous plant species. Scoping: Preliminary Issues, Concerns, and Opportunities We have identified preliminary issues, concerns, and opportunities that we may address in the CCP. We have briefly summarized these issues below. During public scoping, we may identify additional issues. Iroquois NWR incorporates several management techniques to create desired habitat types and wildlife rich environments. Some of the management techniques to be addressed in the CCP will include prescribed fire, haying, water level management, invasive species control through herbicide application, removal of select artificial nest structures, and mechanical manipulation of habitats. Additionally, public use throughout the refuge will be reevaluated in relation to wildlife-dependent recreation and other mission compatible uses. These uses will include waterfowl, big game, small game, and turkey hunting; fishing and fishing access points; trapping area(s) and the permitting process; seasonal access throughout the refuge; mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES Permit No. 170327 170114 169697 171622 170341 170600 169695 163763 170349 Public Meetings We will involve the public through open houses, informational and technical meetings, and written comments. We will release mailings, news releases, and announcements to provide information about opportunities for public involvement in the planning process. You can obtain the schedule from the planning team leader or project leader (see ADDRESSES). You may also submit comments anytime during the planning process by mail, electronic mail, or fax (see ADDRESSES). There will be additional opportunities to provide public input once we have prepared a draft CCP. We anticipate that public meetings will be held in three locations: Basom, New York; Albion, New York; and Batavia, New York. For specific information including dates, times, and locations, contact the project leader (see ADDRESSES) or visit our Web site at https://www.fws.gov/northeast/iroquois. Public Availability of Comments Our practice is to make comments, including names, home addresses, home phone numbers, and electronic mail addresses of respondents available for public review. Individual respondents may request that we withhold their names and/or home addresses, etc., but if you wish us to consider withholding this information, you must state this prominently at the beginning of your comments. In addition, you must present a rationale for withholding this information. This rationale must demonstrate that disclosure would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of privacy. Unsupported assertions will not meet this burden. In the absence of exceptional, documentable circumstances, this information will be released. We will always make submissions from organizations or businesses, and from Applicant ............... ............... ............... ............... ............... ............... ............... ............... ...............

ACTION: Reopening of public comment period. AGENCY: SUMMARY: This notice advises the public and other interested parties that the comment period for the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS), Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP), Incidental Take Permit (ITP) application, and Implementing Agreement (IA) regarding the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department’s (OPRD) HCP for the western snowy plover is reopened for fifteen days. The original notice contains additional information and was published in the Federal Register on November 5, 2007 (72 FR 62485). The OPRD has submitted an application to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) for an ITP pursuant to section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA). As required by section 10(a)(2)(B) of the ESA, the OPRD has also prepared an HCP that describes the proposed actions and measures the applicant will implement to minimize and mitigate take of the threatened western snowy plover (Charadrius alexandrinus nivosus). The permit application is related to public use, recreation, beach management, and resource management activities along Oregon’s coastal shores. The Service generally allows 45 days for public comment on a DEIS which evaluates the impacts of a proposed HCP and associated ITP on the human environment. The original comment period on the DEIS was from November 5, 2007, to January 4, 2008, and extended over several Federal holidays PO 00000 Frm 00062 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 10281 so the Service provided a 60-day comment period. However, during that period, the Pacific Northwest coast experienced extreme weather with coastal wind damage and flooding, potentially affecting the ability of interested parties to obtain necessary documents for review. Since the area damaged by severe weather encompassed the area potentially affected by the proposed HCP, we are reopening the public comment period for 15 days following publication of this notice. Comments received will become part of the public record and will be available for review pursuant to section 10(c) of the ESA. For locations to review the documents, please see the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section below. DATES: Comments must received from interested parties on or before March 12, 2008. Written comments may be sent by mail, facsimile, or e-mail to the addresses listed below. ADDRESSES: All written comments and requests for information should be addressed to: Laura Todd, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Newport Field Office, 2127 SE OSU Drive, Newport, OR 97365–5258; facsimile (541) 867–4551. You may submit comments by postal mail/commercial delivery or by e-mail. Submit comments by e-mail to FWIORDHCP@fws.gov. In the subject line of the e-mail include the identifier OPRD HCP EIS. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The documents, comments and materials received will be available for public inspection, by appointment, during normal business hours at the above address.
