Additional information concerning the Refuge is available on the Internet at https://www.fws.gov/hakalauforest/. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jim Kraus, Refuge Manager, (808) 443–2300. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: With this notice, we initiate the CCP process for the Hakalau Forest Refuge. Background 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 us to develop a CCP for each national wildlife refuge. The purpose of developing a CCP is to provide a refuge manager a 15-year strategy for achieving refuge purposes and contributing toward the mission of the National Wildlife Refuge System (NWRS), consistent with sound principles of fish and wildlife management, conservation, legal mandates, and Service policies. In addition to outlining management direction for conserving wildlife and their habitats, CCPs identify wildlifedependent recreation opportunities, including opportunities for wildlife observation, wildlife photography, and environmental education and interpretation. The Service will prepare an EA to evaluate the environmental effects of CCP alternatives, in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), 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. Each unit of the NWRS is established for specific purposes. We use these purposes to develop and prioritize management goals and objectives within the NWRS mission, and to guide refuge public uses. The planning process provides opportunities for the public to participate in evaluating our management goals and objectives for conserving important wildlife and its habitat, while providing wildlifedependent recreation opportunities that are compatible with a refuge’s establishing purpose(s) and the mission of the NWRS. Public Involvement We will conduct a planning process that will provide opportunities for the public; State and local governments; agencies; Native Hawaiian organizations; and other interest groups to participate. We request input for issues, concerns, ideas, and suggestions for the future management of the Refuge. We will also give the public an opportunity to provide input at open houses to scope issues and concerns. All information provided voluntarily by mail, phone, or at public meetings becomes part of our official public record. We will handle requests for comments received in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act, NEPA, PO 00000 Frm 00069 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\25FEN1.SGM 25FEN1
