sandwich tern nesting colonies in the
State of Florida. Because of its fragility,
small size, and to protect the migratory
birds that use the island, it is now
closed to all public use year-round.
We announce our decision and the
availability of the final CCP and FONSI
for the Tampa Bay Refuges in
accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) [40
CFR 1506.6(b)] requirements. We
completed a thorough analysis of
impacts on the human environment,
which we included in the Draft
Comprehensive Conservation Plan and
Environmental Assessment (Draft CCP/
EA). The CCP will guide us in managing
and administering the Tampa Bay
Refuges for the next 15 years.
Alternative B is the foundation for the
CCP.
The compatibility determinations for
beach uses, bicycling, boating, camping,
competitive sporting events,
concessions, geocaching, hiking/
walking, military uses, mosquito
management, picnicking, photography/
video/filming/audio recording, research
and surveys, snorkeling and SCUBA
diving, and wildlife observation and
photography are available in the CCP.

Background
The National Wildlife Refuge System
Administration Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C.
668dd–668ee) (Administration Act), as
amended by the National Wildlife
Refuge System Improvement Act of
1997, 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
Administration Act.
Comments
Copies of the Draft CCP/EA for the
Tampa Bay Refuges were made available
for a 30-day public review and comment
period as announced in the Federal
Register on April 24, 2009 (74 FR
18744). We held two meetings to
present the Draft CCP/EA to the public

and to solicit comments. Approximately
57 persons attended the two meetings.
A total of 23 comment letters was
received by mail or e-mail from 12
persons and 8 organizations. All
comments were considered and
thoroughly evaluated. Responses to the
comments are contained in Appendix D
of the CCP.
Selected Alternative
After considering the comments we
received and based on the professional
judgment of the planning team, we
selected Alternative B for
implementation. Under Alternative B,
we will continue the cooperative
agreement with the State to manage
Egmont Key NWR and will establish
monthly communications and quarterly
meetings to better coordinate our efforts.
A visitors center will be established at
the Egmont Key NWR Guardhouse, and
interpretive signs and information
distribution will be increased. Our
primary mission will continue to be
providing habitat and protection for
wildlife. We will assume more of a
leadership role in coordinating,
directing, and conducting bird and other
wildlife surveys; monitoring and
conducting research on gopher tortoises;
and identifying, mapping, and
protecting State-listed plant species
with partners.
