SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Fish and Wildlife Service,
SUMMARY:
the Refuge for the 15 years following
approval of the final CCP. Also available
for review in the document are draft
compatibility determinations, a draft
wilderness review, and a draft wild and
scenic river review prepared in
association with the CCP, as well as
supporting documents required by the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA).
With this notice, we continue the CCP
process for the Arctic National Wildlife
Refuge. We started this process through
a notice of intent in the Federal Register
(75 FR 17763; April 7, 2010).
The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
includes nearly 19.3 million acres, three
wild rivers, and one of the largest areas
of designated Wilderness in the United
States. The rugged Brooks Range, with
peaks and glaciers to 9,000 feet, extends
east to west in a band 75 miles wide,
rising abruptly from a tundra-covered
plain. This treeless plain is cut by
numerous braided rivers and streams.
South of the continental divide, rivers

spruce-covered valleys dotted with
lakes and sloughs. Nearly 180 species of
birds, 45 species of mammals, and 36
species of fish have been documented
on Arctic Refuge. Vast mountains,
diverse wildlife, and a wealth of
habitats give this unspoiled wildlife
refuge high cultural-heritage, scenic,
scientific, and wilderness values.
Background
The CCP Process
The Alaska National Interest Lands
Conservation Act of 1980 (94 Stat. 2371;
ANILCA) requires us to develop a CCP
for each refuge. The purpose for
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. We
will review and update the CCP at least
every 20 years in accordance with
ANILCA.
Public Outreach
We started the CCP for Arctic Refuge
in April 2010. At that time and
throughout the planning process, we
requested public comments and
considered and incorporated them in
numerous ways. In April 2010, we
mailed a planning newsletter to more
than 2,000 individuals, agencies, and
organizations describing the planning
process for the CCP revision and telling
the public how they could be informed
or involved. It informed the public
about the Refuge vision and draft goals
identified by the planning team and
Refuge staff. The newsletter contained a
comment form that provided an
opportunity for people to identify issues
they thought should be addressed in the
CCP or to provide suggestions on how
best to accomplish Arctic Refuge
purposes. The newsletter and comment
form were also made available over the
Internet.
To gather additional input from the
public, members of the planning team
and Refuge staff held eight public open
house meetings—five in communities
adjacent to or within the boundaries of
the Arctic Refuge; one in Washington,
DC; one in Anchorage, Alaska; and one
in Fairbanks, Alaska.
Individuals and organizations
provided 94,061 comments during the
scoping process. The responses came in
e-mails, Web forms, postcards, faxes,
letters, and public hearing transcripts.
Approximately 300 people spoke at
meetings in 8 communities. The
responses were reviewed, coded, and
