Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 60 / Tuesday, March 30, 2010 / Notices
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’
Burden: We have identified no ‘‘nonhour cost’’ burdens for this collection.
Public Disclosure Statement: The PRA
(44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) provides that an
agency may not conduct or sponsor a
collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number. Until OMB approves a
collection of information, you are not
obligated to respond.
Comments: Before submitting an ICR
to OMB, PRA section 3506(c)(2)(A)
requires each agency ‘‘* * * to provide
notice * * * and otherwise consult
with members of the public and affected
agencies concerning each proposed
collection of information * * *’’.
Agencies must specifically solicit
comments to: (a) Evaluate whether the
proposed collection of information is
necessary for the agency to perform its
duties, including whether the
information is useful; (b) evaluate the
accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information; (c) enhance the quality,
usefulness, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (d)
minimize the burden on the
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Agencies must also estimate the nonhour paperwork cost burdens to
respondents or recordkeepers resulting
from the collection of information.
Therefore, if you have costs to generate,
maintain, and disclose this information,
you should comment and provide your
total capital and startup cost
components or annual operation,
maintenance, and purchase of service
components. You should describe the
methods you use to estimate major cost
factors, including system and
technology acquisition, expected useful
life of capital equipment, discount
rate(s), and the period over which you
incur costs. Capital and startup costs
include, among other items, computers
and software you purchase to prepare
for collecting information, monitoring,
and record storage facilities. You should
not include estimates for equipment or
services purchased: (i) Before October 1,
1995; (ii) to comply with requirements
not associated with the information
collection; (iii) for reasons other than to
provide information or keep records for
the Government; or (iv) as part of
customary and usual business or private
practices.
We will summarize written responses
to this notice and address them in our
submission for OMB approval. As a
result of your comments, we will make
VerDate Nov<24>2008

any necessary adjustments to the burden
in our submission to OMB.
Public Comment Procedures: Before
including your address, phone number,
email 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 in your comment
to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.

Introduction
With this notice, we continue the CCP
process for Back Bay NWR. We started
the CCP process by publishing a notice
in the Federal Register (67 FR 30950) on
May 8, 2002, and then updating that
notice (72 FR 8196) on February 23,
2007. We prepared the draft CCP in
compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321–4347, as amended) (NEPA)
and the National Wildlife Refuge
System Administration Act of 1966, as
amended by the National Wildlife
Refuge System Improvement Act of
1997 (Improvement Act).
Back Bay NWR, currently 9,035 acres,
was established in 1938 by Executive
Order #7907 ‘‘* * * as a Refuge and
breeding ground for migratory birds and
other wildlife.’’ Another of the refuge’s
primary purposes (for lands acquired
under the Migratory Bird Conservation
Act) is ‘‘* * * use as an inviolate
sanctuary, or for any other management
purpose, for migratory birds.’’ The
Emergency Wetlands Resources Act of
1986 also authorizes purchase of
wetlands for the purpose of ‘‘* * * the
conservation of the wetlands of the
Nation in order to maintain the public
benefits they provide and to help fulfill
international obligations contained in
various migratory bird treaties and
conventions * * *,’’ using money from
the Land and Water Conservation Fund.
In 1939, 4,600 acres of open bay waters
within the refuge boundary were closed
PO 00000
Frm 00054
Fmt 4703

to the taking of migratory birds by
Presidential proclamation.
The refuge includes five miles of
oceanfront beach, a 900-acre freshwater
impoundment complex, numerous bay
islands, bottomland mixed forests, old
fields, and freshwater wetlands adjacent
to Back Bay and its tributary shorelines.
The Back Bay NWR Station
Management Plan in 1993 expanded the
role of the refuge to include
management emphases on other
migratory bird groups, including
threatened and endangered species,
shorebirds, wading birds, marsh birds
and songbirds/land birds.
Although wildlife and habitat
conservation come first on the refuge,
the public can enjoy excellent
opportunities to observe and
photograph wildlife, fish, hunt, or
participate in environmental education
and interpretation. Current visitor
facilities are primarily located in the
eastern, barrier island portion of the
refuge, where annual visitation is
greater than 100,000. Back Bay NWR
provides scenic trails, a visitor contact
station, and, with advance scheduling,
group educational opportunities.
Outdoor facilities are open daily dawn
to dusk.
Background
The CCP Process
The Improvement Act requires us to
develop a CCP for each national wildlife
refuge. The purpose for developing
CCPs is to provide refuge managers with
15-year plans for achieving refuge
purposes and the mission of the
National Wildlife Refuge System
(NWRS), in conformance 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 and photography,
and environmental education and
interpretation. We will review and
update each CCP at least every 15 years,
in accordance with the Improvement
Act.
Public Outreach
In conjunction with our Federal
Register notice announcing our intent to
begin the CCP process, open houses and
public information meetings were held
throughout the Virginia Beach area at
three different locations during January
2002. Meetings were advertised locally
through news releases, paid
