8108 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 35 / Tuesday, February 23, 2010 / Notices 

Bond Swamp NWR is in Bibb and 

Twiggs Counties, Georgia, about 6 miles 

south of the city of Macon, Georgia. The 

refuge covers a total of 7,348 acres 

within the 18,000-acre acquisition 

boundary and is situated along the 

Ocmulgee River. The refuge has a 

diversity of vegetation communities, 

including upland mixed pine/ 

hardwood, bottomland hardwood, and 

tupelo gum swamp forests. Creeks, 

beaver swamps, and oxbow lakes 

traverse the forested wetlands. 

Annually, 8,000 to 10,000 visitors 

participate in refuge activities. 

We announce our decision and the 

availability of the final CCP and FONSI 

for Bond Swamp 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 Bond 

Swamp NWR for the next 15 years. 

The compatibility determinations for 

hunting, fishing, wildlife observation/ 

photography, environmental education/ 

interpretation, boating, firewood 

cutting, forest management, off-road 

vehicle use (disabled persons only), 

resource research studies, and walking/ 

jogging/bicycling are also available in 

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 

Approximately 60 copies of the Draft 

CCP/EA were made available for a 30- 

day public review period as announced 

in the Federal Register on June 22, 2009 

(74 FR 29511). A total of 61 comments 

were received from state and local 

government agencies, non-governmental 

organizations, and local citizens. 

Selected Alternative 

After considering the comments we 

received, and based on the sound 

professional judgment of the planning 

team, we selected Alternative C to 

implement the CCP. This alternative 

will emphasize biological and visitor 

services programs on the refuge, which 

will be protected, maintained, and 

enhanced by adding more staff, 

equipment, and facilities. This 

management alternative will restore and 

manage the forested wetlands and 

associated uplands in support of 

wildlife, especially waterfowl, 

neotropical migratory birds, and other 

native wildlife. We considered this 

alternative to be the most effective for 

meeting the purposes of the refuge. 

Alternative C best achieves national, 

ecosystem, and refuge-specific goals and 

objectives and positively addresses 

significant issues and concerns 

expressed by the public.
