review all comments received on the
draft maps and we will make
adjustments to the draft maps, as
appropriate, based on information
received through public comments,
updated aerial imagery, CBRA criteria,
and objective mapping protocols. We
will then prepare final recommended
maps to be submitted to Congress. The
final recommended maps will become
effective only if they are enacted by
Congress through new legislation.
Availability of Draft Maps and Related
Information
The draft maps, summaries of the
proposed boundary changes, and digital
boundary data can be accessed and
downloaded from the Service’s Internet
site: https://www.fws.gov/CBRA/. The
digital boundary data are available in
shapefile format for reference purposes
only. The Service is not responsible for
any misuse or misinterpretation of the
digital boundary data.
Interested parties may also contact the
Service individual identified in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section
above to make arrangements to view the
draft maps at the Service’s Washington
Office. In the past, draft CBRS maps
were also made available for public
viewing at the appropriate Service
regional and field offices. Because most
interested parties now access the draft
maps via the Internet, the Service is no
longer making the draft maps available
for public viewing at its regional and
field offices. Interested parties who are
unable to access the draft maps via the
Internet or at the Service’s Washington
Office may contact the Service
individual identified in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section above, and
reasonable accommodations will be
made to ensure the public’s ability to
view the draft maps.

Draft Environmental Impact Statement
for Experimental Removal of Barred
Owls to Benefit Threatened Northern
Spotted Owls
Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of availability;
announcement of public meetings;
request for comments.
AGENCY:
We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, announce the
availability of a draft environmental
impact statement for experimental
removal of barred owls to benefit
threatened northern spotted owls. The
barred owl, a species recently
established in western North America,
is displacing the northern spotted owl
and threatening its viability. The draft
environmental impact statement
analyzes a no-action alternative and
seven action alternatives to
experimentally determine if removing
barred owls will benefit northern
spotted owl populations and to inform
decisions on whether to move forward
with future management of barred owls.
The action alternatives vary by the
number and location of study areas, the
type of experimental design, duration of
study, and method of barred owl
removal. We also announce plans for
public meetings and the opening of a
public comment period on the draft
environmental impact statement. All
