SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The CCP will guide us in managing
and administering the refuges for 15
years. Alternative B, as we described in
the final CCP/EIS, is our preferred
alternative.
Introduction
With this notice, we continue the CCP
process for Chincoteague NWR and
Wallops Island NWR, which we began
by publishing a notice of intent in the
Federal Register (75 FR 57056) on
September 17, 2010. For more about the
initial process and the history of the
refuges, see that notice. On May 15,
2014, we announced the release of the
draft CCP/EIS to the public and
requested comments in a notice of
availability in the Federal Register (79
FR 27906). We subsequently extended
the public comment period in another
notice in the Federal Register (79 FR
41300) on July 15, 2014. In addition,
EPA published a notice announcing the
draft CCP and EIS (79 FR 29759; May
23, 2014), as required under section 309
of the Clean Air Act (CAA) (42 U.S.C.
7401 et seq.). We now announce the
final CCP and EIS. Under the CAA, EPA
also will announce the final CCP and
EIS via the Federal Register.
The National Wildlife Refuge System
Administration Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C.
668dd-668ee) (Refuge Administration
Act), as amended by the National
Wildlife Refuge System Improvement
Act of 1997, requires us to develop a
CCP for each NWR. The purpose for
developing a CCP is to provide refuge
managers with a 15-year plan for
achieving refuge purposes and goals and
contributing to the mission of the
National Wildlife Refuge System. CCPs
should be consistent with sound
principles of fish and wildlife
management, conservation, legal
mandates, and our policies, as well as
respond to key issues and public
concerns. In addition to outlining broad
management direction on conserving
wildlife and their habitats, CCPs
identify wildlife-dependent recreational
opportunities available to the public,
including opportunities for hunting,
fishing, wildlife observation and
photography, and environmental
education and interpretation. We will
review and update the CCP at least
every 15 years, in accordance with the
Refuge Administration Act.
EPA’s Role in the EIS Process
The EPA is charged under section 309
of the Clean Air Act to review all
Federal agencies’ EISs and to comment
on the adequacy and the acceptability of
the environmental impacts of proposed
actions in the EISs.
EPA also serves as the repository (EIS
database) for EISs prepared by Federal
agencies and provides notice of their
availability in the Federal Register. The
EIS Database provides information
about EISs prepared by Federal
agencies, as well as EPA’s comments
concerning the EISs. All EISs are filed
with EPA, which publishes a notice of
availability on Fridays in the Federal
Register.
The notice of availability is the start
of the 45-day public comment period for
draft EISs, and the start of the 30-day
‘‘wait period’’ for final EISs, during
which agencies are generally required to
wait 30 days before making a decision
on a proposed action. For more
information, see https://www.epa.gov/
compliance/nepa/eisdata.html. You
may search for EPA comments on EISs,
along with EISs themselves, at https://
cdxnodengn.epa.gov/cdx-enepa-public/
action/eis/search. We completed a
thorough analysis of impacts on the
human environment in the final CCP/
EIS, and responded to public comments.

Background
The CCP Process
CCP/EIS Alternatives
We evaluated three alternatives for
managing Chincoteague NWR and
Wallops Island NWR; alternative B is
our preferred alternative. Based on
feedback on the draft CCP/EIS, some
modifications have been made to
alternative B and are summarized
below. A full description of all
alternatives, including changes to our
preferred alternative, can be found in
the final CCP/EIS at the sources
identified in ADDRESSES.
Changes to Alternative B, the Service’s
Preferred Alternative
• The assigned area, consisting of the
1-mile recreational beach, associated
parking, and new Visitor Contact
Station, would extend south 1 more
mile to the terminus of Swan Cove Trail
(2 miles total), thus doubling the length
of the assigned area.
• Over sand vehicles (OSV) and
hiking access would continue via Beach
Road across Toms Cove south to Fishing

facilitate the six priority uses (March 15
through September 15) would be
