SUMMARY: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service (Service) announces that a 

Comprehensive Conservation Plan 

(CCP) for the 39 North Dakota Limitedinterest National Wildlife Refuges is 

available. This CCP, prepared pursuant 

to the National Wildlife Refuge System 

Improvement Act of 1997 and the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969, describes how the Service intends

15 years.

Planning, 134 Union Boulevard, Suite

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 39 

North Dakota Limited-interest National 

Wildlife Refuges are Appert Lake, 

Ardoch, Bone Hill, Brumba, Buffalo 

Lake, Camp Lake, Canfield Lake,

National Wildlife Refuges. Each of these 

refuges started out in the 1930s as 

flowage and/or refuge easement lands. 

This was the era of droughts, 

depression, and declining waterfowl 

populations. This flowage and/or refuge 

easement program (program) was 

initiated by the Franklin D. Roosevelt 

administration to address these crises 

on private lands. Through these 

easements, the Service acquired the 

right to control hunting and trapping on 

the entire easement area, and impound, 

maintain, and control water levels, and 

control the uses that occur on that water 

or other main water bodies (such as 

rivers and lakes). The landowners of 

these easement lands retain all other 

rights including the right to farm, graze, 

build structures, etc. 

An additional status (beyond the 

existing flowage and/or refuge 

easements) was added in the late 1930s. 

Adjoining easement lands were 

combined and an approved acquisition 

boundary was designated resulting in 31 

new National Wildlife Refuges. These 

Refuges were established through 

separate Executive Orders signed by 

President Franklin D. Roosevelt for the 

purpose of ‘‘* * * refuge[s] and 

breeding ground[s] for migratory birds 

and other wildlife * * * .’’ Seven 

additional Refuges were established in 

1948 in the same manner but under the 

authority of the precursor to the Fish 

and Wildlife Coordination Act. Lake 

Otis, the remaining refuge, was 

established in the early 1970s as ‘‘* * * 

an inviolate sanctuary for migratory 

birds.’’ Combined, these Refuges 

encompass 47,296 acres, ranging in size 

from 160 acres (Half-way Lake) to 5,506 

acres (Rock Lake). Although these are 

National Wildlife Refuges in name, the 

language in the establishing authorities 

does not apply unless the lands are 

acquired by the Service. After 70 years, 

99 percent of the lands within the 

approved acquisition boundaries remain 

in private ownership; therefore, the 

original 1930s easement language 

remains the purpose for the majority of 

these refuges. Due to this fact, the 

Service has ‘‘limited-interest’’ in these 

refuges due to the restrictive 

management capabilities (as stated 

above) afforded by the easement. 

The Draft CCP and Environmental 

Assessment (EA) was made available to 

the public for a 60-day review and 

comment period following the 

announcement in the Federal Register 

on October 5, 2005 (70 FR 58232). The 

Draft CCP/EA identified and evaluated 

two alternatives for managing these 39 

Refuges for the next 15 years. 

Alternative A, the No Action 

Alternative, would have continued 

current management, which for the most 

part, has been minimal. Only minor 

improvements, such as repairs to water 

control structures on the 

impoundments, would continue under 

this alternative. No funding would be 

provided for this program, as in the 

past, and partnerships would be 

incidental to common interests and not 

actively pursued. Alternative B, the 

Preferred Alternative (Enhance the 

Program), first proposes that six 

Refuges, which have no potential to ever 

fully function as National Wildlife
