Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 17 / Tuesday, January 27, 2015 / Notices
Alternative A (No Action), and two of
the alternatives now include an interim
cap on commercial recreation guides
from 2013 to 2016, or until step-down
plans are completed. Step-down
planning would begin immediately
upon approval of the revised plan/final
EIS, rather than 2 years after approval,
and all management prescriptions put in
place pending the step-down plans
would be considered interim.
Other Chapters and Appendices—
Various chapters and appendices were
revised and reworked since the draft
plan and draft EIS. Chapter 1,
Introduction, was updated with details
about the public comment period on the
draft plan and contains a new section
entitled ‘‘Concerns Regarding Fish,
Wildlife, and Habitats,’’ as required by
ANILCA. Chapter 4, Affected
Environment, has a new section on
soundscape and a new section on
cabins; in addition, subsections on
climate change were added to the
descriptions of water resources,
vegetation, fish, birds, and mammals.
Socioeconomic data were updated with
2010 Census data, where available, and
a new section on the Poker Flat
Research Range and NASA’s Sounding
Rockets Program was added. Chapter 5,
Environmental Consequences, was
reworked to provide more consistency,
and to identify reasonably foreseeable
future actions. Additionally, the chapter
considers the effects of each proposed
action on the Poker Flat Research Range.
Step-down plans were reprioritized in
Chapter 6, and the compatibility
determinations were finalized and
signed (Appendix G). The eligibility and
suitability studies for the wild and
scenic river review (Appendix I) were
combined into a single report, and we
added information about the Wild and
Scenic Rivers Act and its management
implications.
Two New Volumes—A major change
made since the draft plan is the addition
of Volumes 3 and 4. Volume 3
summarizes all the public comments
received on the draft plan/EIS, presents
the substantive comments we received,
and includes the Service’s responses to
each substantive comment. Volume 4
contains indices to help the reader
navigate through Volume 3 and contains
full text samples of communications
received on the draft plan.
Comments
We are not soliciting comments at this
time. This release is intended to allow
the public a period of review. Appendix
J in Volume 2 of the plan includes a
summary report of public comments
received during the scoping period.
Volume 3 of the revised plan contains
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 235001
a summary of public comments received
on the draft plan/EIS and the Service’s
responses to substantive comments.
Volume 4 of the revised plan includes
samples of public comments received
on the draft plan/EIS.
Next Steps
Following conclusion of the 30-day
public review period, a Record of
Decision (ROD) will be signed in which
we disclose the Service’s final decision
and any conditions of approval.
Availability of the ROD will be
announced through the Federal
Register, a press release, the Refuge’s
Web site, and communications with
those on the CCP mailing list.
