SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: With this

Chute NWR, with headquarters in Fort

Background 

The CCP Process 

The National Wildlife Refuge System 

Administration Act of 1966, as amended 

by the National Wildlife Refuge System 

Improvement Act of 1997 (16 U.S.C. 

668dd–668ee), requires us to develop a 

comprehensive conservation plan for 

each national wildlife refuge. Land 

parcels we manage within a Wetland 

Management District are also units of 

the National Wildlife Refuge System. 

The purpose in developing a 

comprehensive conservation plan is to 

provide refuge managers with a 15-year 

strategy 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 Service policies. In 

addition to outlining broad management 

direction on conserving wildlife and 

their habitats, plans identify wildlifedependent recreational opportunities 

available to the public, including 

opportunities for hunting, fishing, 

wildlife observation, wildlife 

photography, and environmental 

education and interpretation. 

Each unit of the National Wildlife 

Refuge System, including each of these 

NWRs, is established with specific 

purposes. We use these purposes to 

develop and prioritize management 

goals and objectives within the National 

Wildlife Refuge System mission, and to 

guide which public uses will occur on 

these Refuges. The planning process is 

a way for us and the public to evaluate 

management goals and objectives for the 

best possible conservation efforts of this 

important wildlife habitat, while 

providing for wildlife-dependent 

recreation opportunities that are 

compatible with the Refuges’ 

establishing purposes and the mission 

of the National Wildlife Refuge System. 

We will conduct a comprehensive 

conservation planning process that will 

provide opportunity for Tribal, State, 

and local governments; agencies; 

organizations; and the public to 

participate in issue scoping and public 

comment for the future management of 

Boyer Chute NWR, Hamden Slough 

NWR, and Iowa WMD. We invite 

anyone interested to respond to the 

following two questions: 

1. What issues do you want to see 

addressed in the CCP? 

2. What improvements would you 

recommend for the Refuges or Wetland 

District? 

Responding to these two questions is 

optional; you are not required to 

provide information to us. Our Planning 

Team developed the questions to gather 

information about individual issues and 

ideas concerning these Refuges and 

Wetland District. Comments we receive 

will be used as part of the planning 

process; however, we will not reference 

individual comments in our reports or 

directly respond to them. 

We also invite comments on 

archeological, historic, and traditional 

cultural sites in accordance with the 

National Historic Preservation Act of 

1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.). 

We will also give the public an 

opportunity to provide input at open 

houses. You can obtain a schedule of 

the open house events by contacting the 

Refuge Managers listed in the 

ADDRESSES section of this notice. 

The environmental review of these 

projects will be conducted in 

accordance with the requirements of the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969, as amended (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 regulations. 

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.
