SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Introduction 

With this notice, we finalize the CCP 

process for Canaan Valley NWR. We 

started this plan’s development through 

a notice in the Federal Register (72 FR 

2709) on January 22, 2007. We released 

the draft CCP/EA to the public, 

announcing and requesting comments 

in a notice of availability in the Federal 

Register (75 FR 30423) on June 1, 2010. 

The 16,193-acre Canaan Valley NWR 

was established in 1994 to conserve and 

protect fish and wildlife resources and 

the unique wetland and upland habitats 

of this high-elevation valley. The refuge 

is located in Tucker County, WV, and 

has an approved acquisition boundary 

of 24,000 acres. It includes the largest 

wetland complex in the State, and 

encompasses the headwaters of the 

Blackwater and Little Blackwater Rivers. 

The refuge supports species of concern 

at both the Federal and State levels, 

including the West Virginia northern 

flying squirrel, bald eagle, and the 

Federally listed Cheat Mountain 

salamander and Indiana bat. Its 

dominant habitats include wet 

meadows, peatlands, shrub and forested 

swamps, beaver ponds and streams, 

northern hardwood forest, old fields and 

shrubland, and managed grassland. 

Refuge visitors engage in wildlife 

observation and photography, 

environmental education, 

interpretation, hunting, and fishing. 

Management activities include 

maintaining and perpetuating the 

ecological integrity of the Canaan Valley 

wetland complex, perpetuating the 

ecological integrity of upland northern 

hardwood and northern hardwoodconifer forests to sustain wildlife and 

plant communities, providing a 

diversity of successional habitats in 

upland and wetland-edge shrublands, 

grasslands, old fields, and hardwood 

communities, and supporting wildlifedependent recreation and education. 

We announce our decision and the 

availability of the FONSI for the final 

CCP for Canaan Valley NWR in 

accordance with National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) (40 

CFR 1506.6(b)) requirements. We 

completed a thorough analysis of 

impacts on the human environment, 

which we included in the draft CCP/EA. 

The CCP will guide us in managing 

and administering Canaan Valley NWR 

for the next 15 years. Alternative B, as 

we described in the draft CCP/EA, is the 

foundation for the final CCP. 

Background 

The National Wildlife Refuge System 

Administration Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 

668dd–668ee) (Administration Act), as 

amended by the National Wildlife 

Refuge System Improvement Act of 

1997, requires us to develop a CCP for 

each national wildlife refuge. The 

purpose for developing a CCP is to 

provide refuge managers with a 15-year 

plan for achieving refuge purposes and 

contributing toward the mission of the 

National Wildlife Refuge System, 

consistent with sound principles of fish 

and wildlife management, conservation, 

legal mandates, and our policies. In 

addition to outlining broad management 

direction on conserving wildlife and 

their habitats, CCPs identify wildlifedependent 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 Administration 

Act. 

CCP Alternatives, Including the 

Selected Alternative 

Our draft CCP/EA (75 FR 30423) 

addressed several key issues, including 

the improvement of early successional 

habitat, the creation of trail connections 

on- and off-refuge, and the need for 

better hunter access. 

To address these issues and develop 

a plan based on the purposes for 

establishing the refuge, and the vision 

and goals we identified, four 

alternatives were evaluated in the EA. 

The alternatives have some actions in 

common, such as protecting cultural 

resources, controlling invasive plant 

species, encouraging research that 

benefits our resource decisions, 

continuing to acquire land from willing 

sellers within our approved refuge 

boundary, and distributing refuge 

revenue-sharing payments to counties. 

Other actions distinguish the 

alternatives. Alternative A, or the ‘‘No 

Action Alternative,’’ is defined by our 

current management activities. It serves 

as the baseline against which to 

compare the other three alternatives. 

Our habitat management and visitor 

services programs would not change 

under this alternative. We would 

continue to use the same tools and 

techniques, and not expand existing 

facilities. 

Alternative B, the ‘‘Service-Preferred 

Alternative,’’ is designed to balance the 

conservation of a mixed-forest matrix 

landscape with the management of early 

successional habitats and the protection 

of wetlands. The habitat-type objectives 

in the plan identify focal species whose 

life and growth requirements would 

guide management activities in each 

respective habitat. We would facilitate 

the removal of more deer from the 

refuge by increasing access and opening 

more lands to rifle hunting, and we 

would officially open the refuge to 

fishing. We would create more trail 

connections, expand visitor center 

hours, build a new environmental 

education pavilion, and increase the 

number of environmental education and 

interpretation programs. 

In Alternative C, we would increase 

access and infrastructure to support 

more priority public uses than any of 

the other alternatives. We would create 

a cross-valley trail that would run eastwest through the northern part of the 

valley, and we would allow limited offtrail use in a designated area. With an 

increase in public access and 

infrastructure development, we 

anticipate a greater need for monitoring 

and control of invasive plants. We 

would also encourage additional 

research that would assess whether 

increased public use affects wildlife 

behavior, including nesting, feeding, 

and resting. Within the biological 

objectives, differences between this 

alternative and the others are more 

subtle, but generally emphasize early 

successional habitat management over 

forest stand improvement. 

Alternative D strives to establish and 

maintain the ecological integrity of 

natural communities within the refuge. 

Management would range from passive, 

or ‘‘letting nature take its course,’’ to 

actively manipulating vegetation to 

create or hasten the development of 

mature forest structural conditions 

shaped by natural disturbances such as 

infrequent fires, ice storms, and small 

patch blow-downs. Under this 

alternative, no particular wildlife 

species would be a management focus. 

We would promote research and 

development of applied management 

practices to sustain and enhance the 

natural composition, patterns, and 

processes within their natural range in 

the Central Appalachian Forest. We 

would limit new visitor services 

infrastructure to already disturbed areas. 

We would enhance hunting and fishing 

opportunities in ways similar to 

Alternatives B and C. 

Comments 

We solicited comments on the draft 

CCP/EA for Canaan Valley NWR from 

June 1, 2010, to July 16, 2010 (75 FR 

30423). During the comment period, we 

received 312 responses, both oral and 

written. All comments we received were 

evaluated. A summary of those 

comments and our responses to them is 

included as Appendix J in the CCP.

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 44 / Monday, March 7, 2011 / Notices 12367 

Selected Alternative 

After considering the comments we 

received on our draft CCP/EA, we have 

selected Alternative B for 

implementation, for several reasons. 

Alternative B comprises the mix of 

actions that, in our professional 

judgment, works best towards achieving 

refuge purposes, our vision and goals, 

and the goals of other State and regional 

conservation plans. We also believe it 

most effectively addresses the key issues 

raised during the planning process. The 

basis of our decision is detailed in the 

FONSI, located in Appendix K of the 

CCP.

ACTION: Notice; request for comments. 

SUMMARY: We (National Park Service) 

will ask the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) to approve the 

information collection (IC) described 

below. As required by the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 and as part of our 

continuing efforts to reduce paperwork 

and respondent burden, we invite the 

general public and other Federal 

agencies to take this opportunity to 

comment on this IC. We may not 

conduct or sponsor, and a person is not 

required to respond to, a collection of 

information unless it displays a 

currently valid OMB control number. 

DATES: Public comments must be 

submitted on or before May 6, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: Direct all written comments 

on this IC to Dr. Bruce Peacock, Chief,

I. Abstract 

The Clean Air Act (Sections 169A, 

169B, and 110(a)(2)(j)) charges the NPS 

with an ‘‘affirmative responsibility to 

protect air quality related values 

(including visibility).’’ The NPS believes 

the value of visibility changes should be 

represented in cost-benefit analyses 

regarding state and Federal efforts that 

may affect visibility (including the 

Regional Haze Rule, Title 40, Part 51 of 

the Code of Federal Regulations). 

Updated estimates of visibility benefits 

are required because the studies 

conducted in the 1970s and 1980s do 

not reflect current baseline visibility 

conditions in national parks and 

wilderness areas. 

The NPS plans to conduct a 

nationwide stated preference survey to 

estimate the value of visibility changes 

in national parks and wilderness areas. 

Survey development and pre-testing 

have already been conducted under a 

previous IC (OMB Control Number 

1024–0255). The purpose of this IC is to 

conduct a pilot study to test the survey 

instrument and implementation 

procedures prior to the full survey. After 

the pilot is completed, the NPS will 

submit a revised IC request to OMB for 

the full survey.
