preserving the supply of rental housing 

for extremely low-income families with 

incomes between 0 and 30 percent of 

area median income and very lowincome families with incomes between 

30 and 50 percent of area median 

income, including homeless families, 

and (2) increasing homeownership for 

extremely low-income and very lowincome families. Section 1337 of the Act 

(12 U.S.C. 4567) requires Federal 

National Mortgage Association (Fannie 

Mae) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage 

Corporation (Freddie Mac) to set-aside 

4.2 basis points (.042 percent) of the 

unpaid principal of their new mortgage 

purchases annually to fund the HTF and 

the Capital Magnet Fund. Each year, 

65% of the amounts set-aside by Fannie 

Mae and Freddie Mac are then allocated 

to the HTF. 

Section 1338 of the Act (12 U.S.C. 

4568) directs HUD to establish, through 

regulation, the formula for distribution 

of amounts made available for the HTF. 

The provisions in section 1338(c)(3) of 

the Act (12 U.S.C. 4568(c)(3)) specify 

the factors to be used for the formula 

and priority for certain factors. The HTF 

implementing regulations are at 24 CFR 

part 93. The factors and methodology 

HUD uses to allocate HTF funds among 

eligible grantees are established in the 

HTF regulation at 24 CFR 93.50, 93.51, 

and 93.52.

Intent To Prepare a Comprehensive 

Conservation Plan for Units of Charles 

M. Russell Complex, Montana 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of intent; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service (Service), intend to 

gather information necessary to 

reinitiate the process of developing a 

comprehensive conservation plan (CCP) 

for certain refuge, wetland management 

district, and waterfowl production area 

units of the Charles M. Russell Complex 

in south-central Montana. We are 

publishing this notice in compliance 

with Service Refuge Planning policy to 

advise other Federal and State agencies, 

Tribes, and the public of our intentions 

and to obtain suggestions and 

information on the scope of issues to be 

considered in the planning process. 

DATES: To ensure consideration, we 

must receive written comments by July 

29, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: Please submit comments 

and questions by one of the following 

methods: 

• Email: Alice Lee, via email at alice_

lee@fws.gov; or 

• U.S. mail: Alice Lee, Conservation 

Planner, via mail at Branch of Refuge 

Planning, P.O. Box 25486, Denver 

Federal Center, Denver, CO 80225. 

For more information, please see 

Public Comment Process in the 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: With this 

notice, we, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service (Service), reinitiate the process 

of developing a comprehensive 

conservation plan (CCP) for the 

following units of the Charles M. 

Russell Complex in south central 

Montana: Charles M. Russell Wetland 

Management District (WMD), Hailstone 

Waterfowl Production Area (WPA) and 

National Wildlife Refuge (NWR), Grass 

Lake NWR, Lake Mason NWR, and War 

Horse NWR. The headquarters for all 

units in the complex is located in 

Lewistown, Montana. 

We began scoping activities in 2016 

for development of the CCP; however, in 

2017, CCP development was placed on 

hold because of changing agency 

priorities. 

Background 

The CCP Process 

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 unit of the National Wildlife 

Refuge System (NWRS). The purpose for 

developing a CCP is to provide refuge 

managers with a 15-year plan for 

achieving refuge purposes and 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
38776 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 124 / Wednesday, June 29, 2022 / Notices 

contributing toward the mission of the 

NWRS, 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 compatible 

wildlife-dependent recreational 

opportunities available to the public, 

including, where appropriate, 

opportunities for hunting, fishing, 

wildlife observation and photography, 

and environmental education and 

interpretation. We will review and 

update the CCPs at least every 15 years 

in accordance with the Administration 

Act. 

Each unit of the NWRS was 

established for specific purposes. We 

use these purposes as the foundation for 

developing and prioritizing the 

management goals and objectives for 

each unit within the NWRS, and to 

determine how the public can use each 

refuge. The planning process is a way 

for us and the public to evaluate 

management goals and objectives that 

will ensure the best possible approach 

to wildlife, plant, and habitat 

conservation, while providing for 

wildlife-dependent recreation 

opportunities that are compatible with 

each refuge unit’s establishing purposes 

and the mission of the NWRS. 

Our CCP process provides 

participation opportunities for Tribal, 

State, and local governments; agencies; 

organizations; and the public. At this 

time, we encourage input in the form of 

issues, concerns, ideas, and suggestions 

for the future management of the 

Charles M. Russell WMD, Hailstone 

WPA and NWR, Grass Lake NWR, Lake 

Mason NWR, and Warhorse NWR. Only 

the aforementioned units of the Charles 

M. Russell Complex are covered by this 

CCP process. The CCP for the Charles 

M. Russell NWR has been completed, 

and we are not seeking public input for 

the management of Charles M. Russell 

NWR at this time. 

National Environmental Policy Act 

We will conduct the environmental 

review of this project in accordance 

with the requirements of the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as 

amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.; 

NEPA); NEPA regulations (40 CFR parts 

1500–1508 and 43 CFR part 46); other 

appropriate Federal laws and 

regulations; and our policies and 

procedures for compliance with those 

laws and regulations. 

Units Under Scoping 

Charles M. Russell Wetland 

Management District (WMD) 

The Charles M. Russell WMD is 

located in south-central Montana and 

includes parts of five counties: Golden 

Valley, Musselshell, Petroleum, 

Stillwater, and Yellowstone. The WMD 

includes three WPAs and several types 

of easements. The Clark’s Fork WPA is 

a 271-acre (ac) tract of land located 

along the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone 

River. Spidel WPA is a 1,246-ac tract of 

land located nearly 3 miles northeast of 

Broadview, Montana. The Tew WPA is 

692 ac, and is located 15 miles northeast 

of Broadview in Musselshell County. 

Additional information about these 

WPAs is available at https://

www.fws.gov/refuge/charles-m-russellwetland-management-district. 

Hailstone Waterfowl Production Area 

and National Wildlife Refuge 

Hailstone WPA and NWR were 

established primarily as breeding 

grounds for waterfowl and other 

wildlife. The Service purchased 1,988 

ac of easement in 1979 to create the 

Hailstone WPA. Hailstone WPA and 

NWR are part of the Lake Basin area and 

are managed as a flowage and refuge 

easement. The current size of the 

flowage easement at Hailstone is 760 ac. 

Grass Lake National Wildlife Refuge 

Grass Lake NWR is a 4,318-ac refuge 

that is one of the most productive 

migratory bird areas in central Montana. 

This Refuge is currently closed to all 

public uses. 

Lake Mason National Wildlife Refuge 

Lake Mason NWR consists of three 

separate tracts of land in central 

Montana: the Lake Mason Unit, Willow 

Creek Unit, and North Unit. With the 

exception of the northern half of the 

Lake Mason Unit, the refuge is open to 

hunting of migratory game birds, upland 

game birds, and big game, as well as 

hiking and wildlife observation. The 

northern half of the Lake Mason Unit is 

closed to all public access, in order to 

increase the security and attractiveness 

of this area to migratory birds. 

Warhorse National Wildlife Refuge 

War Horse NWR consists of three 

separate land units: Wild Horse, 440 ac; 

War Horse, 1,152 ac; and Yellow Water, 

1,640 ac. War Horse NWR was 

established in 1958 as a ‘‘refuge and 

breeding ground for migratory birds and 

other wildlife’’ through a transfer of 

lands by the authority of the BankheadJones Farm Tenant Act. More 

information on the above NWRs can be 

found at https://www.fws.gov/refuge/
