Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Proposed Collection; 

Comment Request 

In compliance with Section 

3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 concerning 

opportunity for public comment on 

proposed collections of information, the 

Substance Abuse and Mental Health 

Services Administration (SAMHSA) 

will publish periodic summaries of 

proposed projects. To request more 

information on the proposed projects or 

to obtain a copy of the information 

collection plans, call the SAMHSA 

Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276–

1243. 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the proposed collections of information 

are necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information shall have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate 

of the burden of the proposed collection 

of information; (c) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (d) 

ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

Proposed Project: SAMHSA 

Application for Peer Grant Reviewers 

(OMB No. 0930–0255)—Extension 

Section 501(h) of the Public Health 

Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 290aa) 

directs the Administrator of the 

Substance Abuse and Mental Health 

Services Administration (SAMHSA) to 

establish such peer review groups as are 

needed to carry out the requirements of 

Title V of the PHS Act. SAMHSA 

administers a large discretionary grants 

program under authorization of Title V, 

and, for many years, SAMHSA has 

funded grants to provide prevention and 

treatment services related to substance 

abuse and mental health. 

In support of its grant peer review 

efforts, SAMHSA desires to continue to 

expand the number and types of 

reviewers it uses on these grant review 

committees. To accomplish that end, 

SAMHSA has determined that it is 

important to proactively seek the 

inclusion of new and qualified 

representatives on its peer review 

groups. Accordingly SAMHSA has 

developed an application form for use 

by individuals who wish to apply to 

serve as peer reviewers. 

The application form has been 

developed to capture the essential 

information about the individual 

applicants. Although consideration was 

given to requesting a resume from 

interested individuals, it is essential to 

have specific information from all 

applicants about their qualifications. 

The most consistent method to 

accomplish this is through completion 

of a standard form by all interested 

persons which captures information 

about knowledge, education, and 

experience in a consistent manner from 

all interested applicants. SAMHSA will 

use the information provided on the 

applications to identify appropriate peer 

grant reviewers. Depending on their 

experience and qualifications, 

applicants may be invited to serve as 

either grant reviewers or review group 

chairpersons.

The compatibility determinations for 

Research and Monitoring; Wildlife 

Observation and Photography; 

Environmental Education and 

Interpretive Staff-led Tours; and Sport 

Fishing are also included in the CCP.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

National Wildlife System 

Administration Act of 1966, as amended 

by the National Wildlife Refuge 

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

668dd–668ee et seq.) requires the 

Service to develop a CCP for each 

National Wildlife Refuge. A CCP is also 

prepared in accordance with the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370d). The 

purpose in developing a CCP 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, the CCP identifies 

wildlife-dependent recreational 

opportunities available to the public, 

including opportunities for hunting, 

fishing, wildlife observation and 

photography, and environmental 

education and interpretation. The 

National Wildlife Refuge System 

Administration Act of 1966, as amended 

by the National Wildlife Refuge System 

Improvement Act of 1997, requires the 

Service to review and update these 

CCPs at least every 15 years. Revisions 

to the CCP will be prepared in 

accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969. 

Background 

The Refuge is located off the shoreline 

of the City of San Rafael, Marin County, 

in San Pablo Bay. The 339-acre Refuge 

of tidelands and 2 islands was 

established in 1992 ‘‘for the 

development, advancement, 

management, conservation, and 

protection of fish and wildlife resources, 

and for the benefit of the United States 

Fish and Wildlife Service, in performing 

its activities and services.’’ The various 

parcels of land within the Refuge are 

under the ownership of the California 

Department of Fish and Game, 

California State Lands Commission, or 

the Fish and Wildlife Service. The 

California Department of Fish and Game 

owned lands are designated as a State 

Ecological Reserve. These lands and the 

Service-owned lands are designated and 

administered as the Marin Islands 

National Wildlife Refuge. The Service 

provides day-to-day management of the 

entire Marin Islands Refuge and State 

Ecological Reserve under the National 

Wildlife Refuge System Administration 

Act, as amended, and pursuant to a 

memorandum of understanding with 

other landowning agencies. The Refuge 

‘‘protects an important egret and heron 

colony on West Marin Island and seeks 

to increase colonial nesting bird use on 

East Marin Islands,’’ as described in a 

1992 Environmental Assessment 

Proposing the Marin Islands National 

Wildlife Refuge. 

The Draft CCP and Environmental 

Assessment (EA) was available for a 30- 

day public review and comment period, 

which was announced via several 

methods, including press releases, 

updates to constituents, and a Federal 

Register notice on July 21, 2006 (71 FR 

41463). The Draft CCP/EA identified 

and evaluated three alternatives for 

managing the Refuge for the next 15 

years. Alternative A was the no-action 

alternative, which described current 

Refuge management activities. Under 

Alternative B, management would have 

focused on expanding habitat 

restoration and continued to prohibit 

public access. Under Alternative C (the 

preferred plan), the Refuge would 

expand habitat restoration, provide 

public use on the Refuge, and conduct 

environmental education off the Refuge. 

The Service received 2 comment 

letters on the Draft CCP and EA during 

the comment period. The comments 

received were incorporated into the 

CCP, when possible, and are responded 

to in an appendix to the CCP. In the 

FONSI, Alternative C was selected for 

implementation and is the basis for the 

Final CCP. The FONSI documents the 

decision of the Service and is based on 

the information and analysis contained 

in the EA. 

Under the selected alternative, the 

Service will restore 75 percent of East 

Marin Island to coastal scrub and oak 

woodland plant communities to 

enhance nesting habitat for herons, 

egrets and other migratory birds. The 

Service will continue to maintain 95 

percent of the existing native coastal 

scrub and oak woodland plant 

communities on West Marin Island, 

which support heron and egret colonies. 

Other habitat management activities 

include developing a needs assessment 

for management of sub-tidal areas of the 

Refuge. The Service will also study the 

effects of raven predation on the heron 

and egret population on the Refuge. 

While the Refuge’s islands will continue 

to be closed to the public, some public 

use and environmental education would 

be provided. Guided tours would be 

established on East Marin Island to 

provide wildlife observation, 

environmental education, and cultural 

resource interpretation opportunities. 

Fishing will continue to be permitted in 

the Refuge’s waters. Off-refuge 

environmental education opportunities 

include school and community 

presentations. Cultural resources on the 

Refuge will be assessed and preserved 

according to regulatory requirements. 

Full implementation of the selected 

plan will be subject to available funding 

and staffing. 

The selected alternative best meets 

the purposes of the Refuge, the Fish and 

Wildlife Act of 1956, the Migratory Bird 

Conservation Act, and the goals of the 

National Wildlife Refuge System.
