ACTION: Notice of availability: record of decision. AGENCY: We, the Department of the Interior (Department) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce the availability of the record of decision (ROD) for the final environmental impact statement (EIS) for a proposed land exchange/road corridor on the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge (Refuge), Alaska. We prepared this ROD pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) and its implementing regulations. We provide this notice to advise the public and other agencies of our decision and of availability of the ROD. SUMMARY: Both the Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Secretary of the Interior signed the ROD on December 23, 2013. ADDRESSES: You may view or obtain copies of the ROD by any of the following methods: Web site: Download a copy of the document(s) at https://izembek.fws.gov/ eis.htm. Email: izembek_eis@fws.gov; include ‘‘Izembek National Wildlife Refuge ROD’’ in the subject line of the message. Fax: Attn: Stephanie Brady, Project Team Leader, 907–786–3901.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Stephanie Brady, 907–306–7448, or by one of the addresses above. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: With this notice, we finalize the EIS process for the Proposed Land Exchange/Road Corridor in the Izembek Refuge, Alaska. In accordance with National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) (40 CFR 1506.6(b)) requirements, this notice announces the availability of the ROD for the final EIS for a Proposed Land DATES: PO 00000 Frm 00032 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 9759 Exchange/Road Corridor in the Izembek Refuge. We completed a thorough analysis of the effects on the human environment of each alternative considered, including environmental, social, and economic considerations, which were included in the final EIS. The ROD documents our selection of Alternative 1, the No Land Exchange Alternative (No Action Alternative), which was the Service’s preferred alternative in the final EIS. Under this decision, the Service will not exchange land with the State of Alaska and the King Cove Corporation for the purpose of constructing a road between the communities of King Cove and Cold Bay, Alaska. Under this decision, we will continue to manage lands within the Refuge consistent with and following the Izembek Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plan. For more background on the Refuge, and the public involvement process to date, please see our notice published Wednesday, February 6, 2013 (78 FR 8577). Background The Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009 (Pub. L. 111– 11, Title VI, Subtitle E) (OPLMA) directed the Secretary of the Interior to analyze the land exchange, alternatives for road construction and operation, and a specific road corridor through the Izembek Refuge and the Izembek Wilderness. The proposed land exchange would transfer to the State of Alaska all right, title, and interest to a road corridor for the construction, operation, and maintenance of a singlelane gravel road between the communities of King Cove and Cold Bay, Alaska. As provided by OPLMA, the road ‘‘shall be used primarily for health and safety purposes (including access to and from the Cold Bay Airport) and only for noncommercial purposes.’’ The OPLMA requires the Secretary to make this decision in compliance with NEPA, which requires analysis of the effects of alternatives, including a ‘‘no action’’ alternative, and any other applicable law. Alternatives Considered The Final EIS evaluated in detail five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative and four action alternatives: Alternative 1—No Action and Preferred Alternative Under Alternative 1, the Service would not exchange lands with the King Cove Corporation and the State of Alaska for the purpose of constructing a road between King Cove and Cold Bay, Alaska.
