Download as PDF 72216 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 242 / Tuesday, December 21, 2021 / Notices Kingman Reef and Palmyra Atoll Kingman Reef and Palmyra Atoll have relatively undisturbed coral reefs, with high levels of coral diversity, fish biomass, and large proportions of apex predators relative to other areas in the central Pacific Ocean. Johnston Atoll Johnston Atoll’s coral reefs help connect the Hawaiian Archipelago reef communities to others in the Pacific. This reef community is the originating source for much of the larvae for the Hawaiian Islands’ corals, invertebrates, and other reef fauna. The atoll’s reefs have the deepest reef-building corals on record. Wake Atoll Wake Atoll encompasses possibly the oldest living coral atoll in the world and has healthy and abundant coral and fish populations. CCPs have not been completed for Palmyra, Kingman, Wake, and Johnston Atoll NWRs. For the current MMP planning process, USFWS will focus on appropriate conservation and management recommendations for all refuges. Following the completion of the MMP, USFWS will prepare new CCPs and revise existing CCPs, as appropriate. Monument Management Plan Development Process The purpose for developing an MMP is to provide monument managers with a 15-year direction for the proper care and management of the significant objects of scientific interest that are within the boundaries of the Monument. The MMP will be consistent with Refuge purposes and will contribute toward the mission of the NWRS. The MMP will be consistent with the Magnuson-Stevens Act and sound principles of marine protected area planning and fish and wildlife management, conservation, legal mandates, and applicable policies. The EA will evaluate the impacts of implementing the proposed draft management plan, in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4321, as amended). jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1 Public Involvement NOAA and USFWS will conduct the planning process in a manner that will provide participation opportunities for the public and Federal, Tribal, State, and local governments. At this time, NOAA and USFWS encourage comments in the form of issues, concerns, ideas, and suggestions for the future management of the Monument. VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:02 Dec 20, 2021 Jkt 256001 Preliminary Issues, Concerns, and Opportunities DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Below, we have identified the following preliminary issues, concerns, and opportunities that may be addressed in the MMP.
