The State of Nebraska did not receive 

an allocation because a proportional 

allocation provides less than one 

million in funding and needs did not 

extend beyond that which the State 

could address on its own. 

As noted in the SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION section of this Notice, the 

initial allocation provided both 

Kentucky and Rhode Island with $13 

million for each state and its respective 

communities. Thus, they have already 

received an allocation in proportion to 

their need. As such, the remaining 

funds are distributed to the State of 

Tennessee and its local governments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Introduction 

With this notice, we initiate our 

process for developing a CCP for 

Presquile NWR in Chesterfield County, 

VA. This notice complies with our CCP 

policy to: (1) Advise other Federal and 

State agencies, Tribes, and the public of 

our intention to conduct detailed 

planning on this refuge, and (2) obtain 

suggestions and information on the 

scope of issues to consider in the 

environmental document and during 

development of the CCP. 

Background 

The CCP Process 

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 

(NWRS), 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. 

Each unit of the NWRS was 

established for specific purposes. We 

use these purposes as the foundation for 

developing and prioritizing the 

management goals and objectives for 

each refuge within the NWRS mission, 

and to determine how the public can 

use each refuge. The planning process is 

a way for us and the public to evaluate 

management goals and objectives that 

will ensure the best possible approach 

to wildlife, plant, and habitat 

conservation, while providing for 

wildlife-dependent recreation 

opportunities that are compatible with 

each refuge’s establishing purposes and 

the mission of the NWRS. 

Our CCP process provides 

participation opportunities for Tribal, 

State, and local governments, agencies, 

organizations, and the public. At this 

time we encourage input in the form of 

issues, concerns, ideas, and suggestions 

for the future management of Presquile 

NWR. 

We will conduct the environmental 

review of this project and develop an 

EA in accordance with the requirements 

of the National Environmental Policy 

Act of 1969, as amended (NEPA) (42 

U.S.C. 4321 et seq.); NEPA regulations 

(40 CFR parts 1500–1508); other 

appropriate Federal laws and 

regulations; and our policies and 

procedures for compliance with those 

laws and regulations. 

Presquile National Wildlife Refuge 

Presquile NWR is one of four refuges 

that comprise the Eastern Virginia 

Rivers NWR Complex. The refuge is a 

1,329-acre island in the James River. 

The Service acquired the land in 1952. 

It was previously operated as a dairy 

farm. Established to protect habitat for 

wintering waterfowl and other 

migratory birds, Presquile NWR is an 

important anchor in the network of 

refuges on and around the Chesapeake 

Bay. 

Refuge habitats include swamp, tidal 

marsh, open fields and brushland, forest 

riparian, and river escarpment. This 

landscape supports a wide diversity of 

wildlife species. Over 200 species of 

birds have been documented on the 

refuge, 90 of which occur in the summer 

breeding season. Other refuge wildlife 

includes 59 fish species, 22 mammal 

species, 4 amphibian species, and 18 

different reptile species. 

Scoping: Preliminary Issues, Concerns, 

and Opportunities 

We have identified preliminary 

issues, concerns, and opportunities that 

we may address in the CCP. We have 

briefly summarized these issues below. 

During public scoping, we may identify 

additional issues. 

(1) Ecoregional or ecosystem-wide 

issues, such as climate change, regional 

land conservation, and protection of 

water quality on the James River and 

throughout the Chesapeake Bay 

Watershed; 

(2) Biological program issues, such as 

habitat and species management needs, 

protection, restoration, monitoring, 

inventories, and research; 

(3) Public use program issues, such as 

the breadth and quality of programs, 

public access, user conflicts, and use 

impacts on natural resources; 

(4) Community relations and outreach 

issues and opportunities, such as 

tourism, and local economic impacts; 

and 

(5) Coordination and communication 

issues and opportunities with other 

environmental educators, and Federal, 

State, and Tribal Governments, and with 

non-governmental conservation 

partners. 

Public Meetings 

We will give the public an 

opportunity to provide input at a public 

meeting (or meetings). You can obtain 

the schedule from the planning team 

leader or project leader (see ADDRESSES). 

You may also send comments anytime 

during the planning process by mail, email, or fax (see ADDRESSES). There will 

be additional opportunities to provide 

public input once we have prepared a 

draft CCP. 

Public Availability of Comments 

Before including your address, phone 

number, e-mail address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you can ask us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so.
