SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background Sacramento, Delevan, Colusa, and Sutter National Wildlife Refuges are located in the Sacramento Valley of California, approximately 90 miles north of the city of Sacramento. The Refuges manage and protect wintering habitat for migratory birds and endangered and threatened species. The Refuges contain approximately 24,000 acres of critically important habitats for a great diversity of wildlife, particularly migratory birds. Over 40 percent of the Pacific Flyway waterfowl winters in the Sacramento Valley. The vast majority of wetlands in the Sacramento Valley have been converted to agricultural, industrial, and urban development. Remaining wetlands are intensively managed to optimize wildlife benefits. The Draft CCP and Environmental Assessment (EA) were available for a 54day public review and comment period, which was announced via several methods, including press releases; updates to constituents; and in the Federal Register (73 FR 42363, July 21, 2008). The Draft CCP/EA identified and evaluated four alternatives for managing E:\FR\FM\23JNN1.SGM 23JNN1 29716 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 119 / Tuesday, June 23, 2009 / Notices the Refuges for the next 15 years. Alternative A was the no-action alternative, which described current Refuge management activities. Alternative B placed greater emphasis on biological resources than on visitor services. Alternative C (the selected alternative) provided an optimal balance of improved biological resource objectives and expanded visitor services opportunities. Alternative D placed greater emphasis on visitor services than on biological resources. The Service received 75 comment letters on the Draft CCP and EA during the review period. The comments received were incorporated into the CCP when possible, and we responded to the comments in an appendix to the CCP. In the FONSI, Alternative C was selected for implementation and is the basis for the CCP. The FONSI documents the decision of the Service and is based on the information and analysis contained in the EA. Under the selected alternative, the Refuges would achieve an optimal balance of biological resource objectives and visitor services opportunities. Habitat management and associated biological resource monitoring would be improved. Visitor service opportunities would focus on quality wildlifedependant recreation distributed throughout the Refuges. In addition, environmental education, interpretation, wildlife observation, photography, and hunting programs would be improved and/or expanded. The selected alternative best meets the Refuges’ purposes, vision and goals; contributes to the Refuge System mission; addresses the significant issues and relevant mandates; and is consistent with principles of sound fish and wildlife management.

the Refuges for the next 15 years. Alternative A was the no-action

    The Service received 75 comment letters on the Draft CCP and EA
