AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare a
comprehensive conservation plan and
environmental assessment; and request
for comments.
SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (Service) intend to
prepare a Comprehensive Conservation
Plan (CCP) for the Kootenai National
Wildlife Refuge (Refuge). We will also
prepare an environmental assessment
(EA) evaluating the potential effects of
various CCP alternatives. The Refuge is
located within Boundary County, Idaho.
We are furnishing this notice to advise
the public and other government
agencies and Tribes of our intentions,
and to obtain public comments,
suggestions, and information on the
scope of issues to be considered during
the planning process.
DATES: We request your written
comments on the scope of the CCP by
March 25, 2009. All comments received
during scoping will be considered
during development of the Draft CCP
and EA.

information about the Refuge is

process is available on the Internet at:

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Dianna Ellis, Refuge Manager, Kootenai
Refuge, phone (208) 267–3888.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Wildlife Refuge System
(NWRS) Administration Act of 1966, as
amended by the National Wildlife
Refuge System Improvement Act of
1997 (16 U.S.C. 668dd–668ee), requires
all lands within the NWRS to be
managed in accordance with an
approved CCP. A CCP guides refuge
management decisions, and identifies
long-range goals, objectives, and
strategies for achieving the purposes for
which the refuge was established.
During the CCP planning process for
Kootenai Refuge many elements will be
considered, including wildlife and
habitat protection and management,
public use opportunities, and cultural
resource protection.
Public input during the planning
process is essential. To initiate the
public scoping phase of the CCP
planning process we held two public
open house meetings in Bonners Ferry,
Idaho, on January 23, 2009. We
announced the meetings in a press
release and in a planning update mailed
to 239 addressees, including refuge
neighbors, interested individuals and
organizations, elected officials, Tribes,
and local, State, and Federal
government and nongovernment
stakeholders. Approximately 30 people
attended the meetings. Public scoping
will continue until March 25, 2009.
The Refuge’s CCP will describe
desired Refuge conditions and the longterm goals, objectives, and strategies for
achieving those conditions. To evaluate
potential impacts of CCP alternatives,
we will prepare an EA in accordance
with the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended (42
U.S.C. 4371 et seq.)
ADDRESSES:
Background
The Refuge was established in 1964
under the Migratory Bird Conservation
Act ‘‘for use as an inviolate sanctuary,
PO 00000
Frm 00051
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
or for any other management purpose,
for migratory birds’’ with emphasis on
providing migration and breeding
habitat for migratory waterfowl. The
Refuge’s habitats include wetlands,
mixed moist deciduous and coniferous
forest, riparian woodland, riverine, and
dry forest. Managed grasslands and
croplands are also present on the
Refuge.
The Refuge supports tens of
thousands of migrating waterfowl,
especially during fall migration. The
Refuge also provides important stopover habitat for spring migratory swans
that winter in southeastern Oregon and
nest in northeastern British Columbia
and northwestern Alberta. Habitat for
the federally listed bull trout; winter
habitat for deer and elk; and
occasionally, habitat and/or travel
corridors for wide-ranging species such
as woodland caribou, grizzly bear, and
gray wolves is also provided on the
Refuge.
Preliminary Issues, Concerns, and
Opportunities
We identified the following categories
of preliminary issues for consideration
in the planning process: water and
wetland management, including dike
maintenance and water rights; cropland
management; integrated pest
management; deer and elk management;
maintenance and restoration of riparian,
upland forest, and instream habitats; the
Refuge’s role in recovery of rare and
listed fish species; providing sustainable
wildlife-dependent recreation with a
small staff and land base; reducing
visitor conflicts and law enforcement
violations; and managing on-going
Refuge programs and commitments in
an era of tight budgets. Additional
issues may be identified during public
scoping.
Public Availability of Comments
All comments we receive become part
of the public record. Requests for
comments will be handled in
accordance with the Freedom of
Information Act, NEPA, and Service and
Department of the Interior policies and
procedures. Before including your
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 to withhold it from
public review, we cannot guarantee we
will be able to do so.
