47820 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 179 / Thursday, September 17, 2009 / Notices 

We would continue to monitor for rat 

reinvasions, after having eliminated rats 

from the island several years ago in an 

active trapping program. Other than 

controlling invasive species such as rats, 

we would not conduct any active 

habitat restoration on the island. There 

would be no active control program for 

invasive plant species. 

We would continue to manage 

cultural resources, particularly the 

historic lighthouse, consistent with 

section 106 of the National Historic 

Preservation Act. 

We would continue to maintain the 

refuge Web site, distribute information, 

maintain limited signage on the island, 

and make periodic presentations offrefuge, primarily on St. Thomas. 

Partnerships and volunteers would 

remain important to the refuge. We 

would continue to cooperate with the 

Virgin Islands Department of Planning 

and Natural Resources on joint wildlife 

and habitat management efforts for Buck 

Island and adjacent Capella Island. 

Alternative B—Proposed Alternative 

In general, Alternative B would 

maintain all programs of Alternative A 

and build or expand upon them. This is 

our proposed alternative for managing 

Buck Island NWR. 

Under Alternative B, we would strive 

to provide more active management of 

the island’s indigenous wildlife, 

particularly species of concern. Within 

5 years of CCP approval, we would draft 

and begin to implement an inventorying 

and monitoring plan for the Antillean 

skink, Puerto Rican racer, magnificent 

frigatebird, and red-billed tropicbird. 

We would continue to monitor for rat 

reinvasions. To pursue and promote 

habitat recovery on Buck Island, we 

would develop and begin to implement 

a habitat restoration plan within 5 years 

of CCP approval. We would aim to 

increase control of invasive plants and 

animals and evaluate the effectiveness 

of different methods of control. 

Under this alternative, we would 

continue to manage cultural resources, 

particularly the historic lighthouse, 

consistent with section 106 of the 

National Historic Preservation Act. 

However, within 5 years of CCP 

approval, we would also evaluate the 

condition and safety of the historic 

lighthouse and decide on the feasibility 

of preservation or restoration. In 

addition, we would develop and begin 

to implement a Cultural Resources 

Management Plan. 

With regard to conducting outreach 

and education, we would continue to 

maintain the refuge Web site, distribute 

information, maintain limited signage 

on the island, and make periodic 

presentations off-refuge. 

Partnerships and volunteers would 

remain important to the refuge. We 

would continue to cooperate with the 

Virgin Islands Department of Planning 

and Natural Resources on joint wildlife 

and habitat management efforts for Buck 

Island and adjacent Capella Island. 

Also, Alternative B would expand 

cooperative education and interpretive 

efforts with the city of Charlotte Amalie 

and ecotourism companies, which bring 

visitors to offshore waters to explore 

coral reefs. We would also explore 

development of a Friends Group to 

provide a more active management 

presence on the island.
