comprehensive conservation plan and 

finding of no significant impact. 

SUMMARY: We, the Fish and Wildlife 

Service (Service), announce the 

availability of our final comprehensive 

conservation plan (CCP) and finding of 

no significant impact (FONSI) for the 

environmental assessment for 

Watercress Darter National Wildlife 

Refuge (NWR). In the final CCP, we 

describe how we will manage this 

refuge for the next 15 years. 

ADDRESSES: You may obtain a copy of 

the CCP by writing to: Mr. Stephen A. 

Miller, Refuge Manager, Mountain 

Longleaf NWR, P.O. Box 54087, 

Anniston, AL 36205. The CCP may also 

be accessed and downloaded from the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Introduction 

With this notice, we finalize the CCP 

process for Watercress Darter NWR. We 

started this process through a notice in 

the Federal Register on March 12, 2007 

(72 FR 11048). 

Watercress Darter NWR, near the city 

of Bessemer, Jefferson County, Alabama, 

was established by the Service in 1980, 

to provide protection for the endangered 

watercress darter. The refuge is only 

about 24 acres of ponds, mixed pinehardwood forest, and a residence, and 

contains Thomas Spring. A second pond 

was constructed on the refuge in 1983, 

to provide additional watercress darter 

habitat. The refuge is unstaffed and 

administered by Mountain Longleaf 

NWR. 

We announce our decision and the 

availability of the final CCP and FONSI 

for Watercress Darter NWR in 

accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) [40 

CFR 1506.6(b)] requirements. We 

completed a thorough analysis of

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 245 / Wednesday, December 22, 2010 / Notices 80525 

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 Watercress Darter 

NWR for the next 15 years. Alternative 

C, as we described in the final CCP, is 

the foundation for the CCP. 

The compatibility determinations for 

wildlife observation and photography 

and environmental education and 

interpretation are also available in 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, 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 

period as announced in the Federal 

Register on April 16, 2010 (75 FR 

19988). We received five comments on 

the Draft CCP/EA. 

Selected Alternative 

The Draft CCP/EA identified and 

evaluated three alternatives for 

managing the refuge. After considering 

the comments we received and based on 

the professional judgment of the 

planning team, we selected Alternative 

C for implementation. Under 

Alternative C, we will optimize habitat 

management and visitor services 

throughout the refuge. 

Threats to the refuge are becoming 

more prominent as development 

activities occur in the city of Bessemer, 

Alabama. Watercress Darter NWR is a 

small system that can be greatly 

compromised by activities a distance 

away from its boundary. We fully 

recognize the impact these activities 

could have on the integrity of the refuge. 

In addition to our current management, 

we will extend beyond the immediate 

neighbors to address issues associated 

with the aquifer and spring recharge 

area, watershed, and biota exchange 

pathways. Extensive resource sharing 

and networking with other protected 

areas, state agencies, local governments, 

organizations, specialists, researchers, 

and private citizens will expand the 

knowledge base and assist in developing 

cooperation between interest groups. 

Restoration of natural systems, native 

communities, and healthy environments 

will be emphasized, promoting 

regionally a high-quality of life. 

Monitoring environmental parameters 

and flora and fauna will be incorporated 

into an integrated study to gain 

knowledge on the health of the refuge 

ecosystem. Education and outreach will 

be expanded, with an emphasis on 

cultural and historical resources. 

Staffing will be developed to meet the 

needs of partners and the greater 

number of interest groups and 

accommodate data and resource sharing. 

An increase in staff is presented in this 

alternative so that Watercress Darter 

NWR can be managed with a greater 

emphasis on landscape management. 

Additional staff members needed to 

fully implement this alternative at the 

highest quality level includes one 

position at Watercress Darter NWR and 

four positions shared between Cahaba 

River NWR and Watercress Darter NWR.

System Improvement Act of 1997, Public

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

Beginning in 1997, the U.S. 

Geological Survey has collected 

voluntary data regarding amphibian 

malformations. Sightings are reported 

via an electronic form (1028–0056). The 

form is sent to the USGS National 

Biological Information Infrastructure 

(NBII) program, which manages the 

North American Reporting Center for 

Amphibian Malformations (NARCAM). 

Each malformation occurrence 

submitted is carefully reviewed by 

trained professional herpetologists for 

quality and accuracy. Data associated 

with the validated reports, including 

species, malformation type, and 

geospatial information, are made 

accessible to the public via the 

NARCAM Web site. Information may be 

used by scientists and resource 

managers within Federal, State, and 

local agencies, as well as the general 

public, to identify areas where 

malformed amphibians have been 

reported, and the rates of occurrence. 

The NARCAM dataset is the only 

publicly available, national dataset on 

amphibian malformations. 

We will be requesting OMB approval 

for an extension of the current form 

used for the NARCAM data collection 

efforts.
