SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Introduction 

With this notice, we finalize the CCP 

process for J.N. ‘‘Ding’’ Darling NWR. We 

started this process through notices in 

the Federal Register on June 27, 2007 

(72 FR 35254) and April 2, 2008 (73 FR 

17991). 

The 6,406-acre refuge supports 

hundreds of species of wildlife and 

plants, providing protection for 14 

Federal-listed and 49 State-listed 

species, migratory birds, and native 

wildlife and habitat diversity through a 

mix of habitats, including tropical 

hardwood forests, beaches, mangrove 

swamps, mixed wetland shrubs, salt 

marshes, open waters and seagrass beds, 

and lakes and canals. The refuge holds 

several special designations, including 

Wilderness Area, Research Natural 

Area, Marine Protected Area, Florida 

Important Bird Area, and Outstanding 

Florida Water. Annual visitation to the 

refuge exceeds 700,000. 

We announce our decision and the 

availability of the final CCP and FONSI 

for J.N. ‘‘Ding’’ Darling NWR in 

accordance with the 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 

comprehensive conservation plan and 

environmental assessment (Draft CCP/ 

EA). 

The CCP will guide us in managing 

and administering J.N. ‘‘Ding’’ Darling 

NWR for the next 15 years. The 

following compatibility determinations 

are available in the CCP: (1) Wildlife 

observation and photography— 

including walking, hiking, motorized 

and non-motorized boating, and 

motorized and non-motorized trail use; 

(2) environmental education and 

interpretation—including walking, 

hiking, motorized and non-motorized 

boating, and motorized and nonmotorized trail use; (3) fishing— 

including motorized and non-motorized 

boating and non-motorized trail use; (4) 

research; (5) commercial services; (6) 

commercial photography; (7) mosquito 

control; and (8) commercial bait 

fishing—including phasing out this use 

within the 15-year life of the 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, wildlife 

photography, and environmental 

education and interpretation. We will 

review and update the CCP at least 

every 15 years in accordance with the 

Administration Act. 

Comments 

We made copies of the Draft CCP/EA 

available for a 30-day public review and 

comment period via a Federal Register 

notice on May 17, 2010 (75 FR 27576). 

We received comments from local 

citizens, a local business, organizations, 

and State and local governmental 

agencies. Comments were also 

submitted through the State 

Clearinghouse for State agencies. 

Selected Alternative 

After considering the comments we 

received, we have selected Alternative C 

for implementation. The primary focus 

under Alternative C is migratory birds. 

Implementing Alternative C is expected 

to result in increased protection for 

breeding, nesting, resting, roosting, 

foraging, and migrating birds on the 

refuge. Increased information on a 

variety of species, suites of species, and 

habitats will enhance decision-making 

for the refuge. Further benefits will be 

realized from increased control of 

exotic, invasive, and nuisance species. 

We will coordinate with the partners to 

address concerns related to the impacts 

from water quality, quantity, and timing 

of flows and from climate change and 

sea level rise. Resource protection will 

be enhanced, including through 

increased information about cultural 

resources on the refuge, increased 

protection of cultural resources, 

additional special designations, 

improved management of the J.N. ‘‘Ding’’ 

Darling Wilderness Area, improved 

coordination with the partners to 

increase ethical outdoor behavior, 

enhanced visitor services programs, and 

addition of visitor facilities. To achieve 

this, we will work with governmental 

and non-governmental partners, area 

communities, the ‘‘Ding’’ Darling 

Wildlife Society, and local businesses, 

and we will pursue the addition of staff 

to address management concerns. 

Alternative C is considered to be the 

most effective for meeting the purposes 

of the refuge and addressing the priority 

issues facing the refuge, including 

increasing and changing human 

population, development of the 

landscape, recreational uses and 

demands, and associated impacts; issues 

and impacts associated with water

quality, water quantity, and timing of 

flows; invasion and spread of exotic, 

invasive, and nuisance species; climate 

change impacts; need for long-term 

protection of important resources; 

declines in and threats to rare, 

threatened, and endangered species; 

insufficient baseline wildlife and habitat 

data and lack of comprehensive habitat 

management plan; and lack of resources 

to address refuge needs.
