SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Introduction With this notice, we continue the CCP process for Eufaula National Wildlife Refuge. We started the process through a notice in the Federal Register on January 26, 2006 (71 FR 4373). Background The CCP Process BILLING CODE 4310–RK–P VerDate Aug<31>2005 EA, we describe the alternative we propose to use to manage this refuge for the 15 years following approval of the Final CCP. The National Wildlife Refuge System Improvement Act of 1997 (16 U.S.C. 668dd–668ee), which amended the National Wildlife Refuge System Administration Act of 1966, requires us to develop a CCP for each national wildlife refuge. The purpose in developing a CCP is to provide refuge managers with a 15-year plan for achieving refuge purposes and contributing toward the mission of the National Wildlife Refuge System, consistent with sound principles of fish and wildlife management, conservation, legal mandates, and our policies. In addition to outlining broad management direction on conserving wildlife and their habitats, CCPs identify wildlifedependent recreational opportunities available to the public, including opportunities for hunting, fishing, wildlife observation, wildlife photography, and environmental education and interpretation. We will review and update the CCP at least every 15 years in accordance with the Improvement Act and NEPA. PO 00000 Frm 00067 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 32349 CCP Alternatives, Including Our Proposed Alternative We developed four alternatives for managing the refuge and chose Alternative D as the proposed alternative. Each alternative would pursue the same four broad refuge goals. These goals are: (1) Wildlife; (2) habitat; (3) public use; and (4) refuge administration. Alternatives A full description of each alternative is in the Draft CCP/EA. We summarize each alternative below. Alternative A—Current Management (No Action) In general, Alternative A would maintain current management direction, that is, the refuge’s habitats and wildlife populations would continue to be managed as they have in recent years. Public use patterns would remain relatively unchanged from those that exist at present. We would conserve, protect, and enhance native wildlife populations representative of the middle Chattahoochee River Valley, including waterfowl, other migratory birds, and threatened and endangered species. We would provide a complex of habitats, both moist-soil and grain crops, to meet the foraging needs of 15,000 wintering ducks. This would assist the North American Waterfowl Management Plan in meeting its goals. We would also provide adequate open space (upland crop fields) for winter utilization and feeding of at least 350 geese and cranes. In addition, staff and/ or volunteers would maintain 100 wood duck boxes on the refuge. We would continue forest management at current levels and intensity. We would maintain 175 acres of grassland habitat for the benefit of grassland birds. In addition, we would use various tools to maintain tall emergent vegetation sufficient to support a population of 10 king rails and to benefit other species of marsh birds. For the benefit of wading birds, known rookeries would be protected but there would be no active management of foraging habitat for herons and egrets. Likewise, no active management for shorebirds would take place. However, we would provide protective conservation measures for Federal or State listed species and habitats for future ecological existence. We would employ sound scientific principles to manage healthy populations of resident wildlife species. We would control domestic, feral, or E:\FR\FM\06JNN1.SGM 06JNN1
