POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, 

RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, AND

DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

STORAGE: 

Records are stored manually in family 

case files in the PHAs and electronically 

in office automation equipment. 

Records are stored on HUD computer 

servers for field office and public 

housing agencies’ access via the Internet 

to: (1) Obtain social security and 

supplemental security income data that 

are not subject to provisions of 26 U.S.C. 

6103; and (2) update actions taken in 

resolving income discrepancies. 

Software in IMS precludes the transfer 

of any data subject to 26 U.S.C. 6103 to 

unencrypted media. All of the IMS data 

is store on HUD’s Servers. The disk and 

backup files are maintained by HUD’s 

information technology partners— 

Electronic Data Services (EDS) and 

Lockheed Martin. The original (hard 

copy) files are stored in the originating 

PHA. 

IRRETRIEVABILITY: 

Records are retrieved by an 

individual’s SSN. 

SAFEGUARDS: 

These are the measures used to 

protect the records from unauthorized 

access or disclosure: 

1. The REAC–IT Web Access Secure 

SubSystem (WASS) provides audit 

logging for all system access via WASS’s 

authentication of all users. Audit 

logging in WASS includes a keystroke 

logger which covers every keystroke of 

any user with in WASS. 

2. WASS provides authentication 

methods that meet NIST requirements. 

Every user has a WASS ID and is 

authenticated via WASS. 

3. The IMS System maintains record 

of each user’s logons, logoffs, and logoff 

exceptions if any. 

4. For each user, IMS system logs the 

number requests for web pages 

containing privacy data. The number of 

page view requests are tracked per page 

per session. The first and last timestamp 

of access for every privacy page is also 

recorded per session. 

5. IMS system archives the user 

privileges data when a user is removed 

from the system or when the unmasked 

privacy data viewing privileges are 

modified. 

6. Hard copy records are stored in 

lock file cabinets in rooms to which 

access is limited to those personnel who 

service the records. 

7. Background screening, limited 

authorization and access with access 

limited to authorize personnel. 

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL: 

Electronic records are maintained and 

destroyed according to the HUD Records 

Disposition Schedule 2225.6. Records 

are maintained for a period of three 

years.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Introduction 

With this notice, we continue the CCP 

process for Koyukuk, Northern Unit 

Innoko, and Nowitna National Wildlife 

Refuges. We started this process through 

a notice in the Federal Register (72 FR 

57343; October 9, 2007). 

Background 

The ANILCA (16 U.S.C. 410hh et seq., 

43 U.S.C. 1602 et seq.) requires 

development of a CCP for all national 

wildlife refuges in Alaska. The Draft 

CCP and EA for the Refuge was 

developed consistent with Section 

304(g) of ANILCA and the Refuge 

Administration Act as amended by the 

Refuge Improvement Act (16 U.S.C. 

668dd et seq.). The purpose of 

developing CCPs is to provide refuge 

managers with a 15-year management 

strategy for achieving refuge purposes 

and contributing to the mission of the 

National Wildlife Refuge System, 

consistent with sound principles of fish, 

wildlife, and habitat management and 

conservation; legal mandates; and 

Service policies. Plans define long-term 

goals and objectives toward which 

refuge management activities are 

directed and identify which uses may be 

compatible with the purposes of the 

refuge. They identify wildlifedependent recreation opportunities 

available to the public, including 

hunting, fishing, wildlife observation 

and photography, and environmental 

education and interpretation. 

Comprehensive conservation plans are 

updated in accordance with planning 

direction in Section 304(g) of ANILCA 

and with NEPA (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.). 

Background: In 1980, ANILCA 

designated the Koyukuk, Northern Unit 

Innoko, and Nowitna National Wildlife 

Refuges. Refuge boundaries encompass 

approximately 7.329 million acres of 

which approximately 6.044 million 

acres (82 percent) are under Service 

jurisdiction. Section 302(3)(B) of 

ANILCA states that the purposes for 

which the Refuge was established 

include: (i) To conserve fish and 

wildlife populations and habitats in 

their natural diversity; (ii) to fulfill 

international treaty obligations of the 

United States with respect to fish and 

wildlife and their habitats; (iii) to 

provide the opportunity for continued 

subsistence use by local residents; and 

(iv) to ensure water quality and 

necessary water quantity within the 

Refuge. CCPs and Environmental Impact 

Statements were completed for the 

Refuge in 1987 following direction in 

Section 304(g) of ANILCA. 

The ANILCA requires us to designate 

areas according to their respective 

resources and values and to specify 

programs and uses within the areas 

designated. To meet this requirement, 

the Alaska Region established 

management categories (Minimal, 

Moderate, Intensive, Wilderness, and 

Wild River). Appropriate activities, 

public uses, commercial uses, and 

facilities are identified for each 

management category. Three 

management categories (Minimal, 

Wilderness, and Wild River) apply to 

the Refuge. 

The 1997 Refuge Improvement Act 

includes additional direction for 

conservation planning throughout the 

National Wildlife Refuge System. This 

direction has been incorporated into 

national planning policy for the 

National Wildlife Refuge System, 

including refuges in Alaska. This draft 

revision of the Koyukuk, Northern Unit 

Innoko, and Nowitna CCP/EA meets the 

requirements of both ANILCA and the 

Refuge Administration Act as amended 

by the Refuge Improvement Act. 

Issues raised during scoping and 

addressed in the Draft CCP/EA are (1) 

Management of wildlife populations, 

especially moose; (2) future off-refuge 

mining, oil, and gas developments; (3) 

contaminants and their effects on wild 

foods and water quality; (4) the effects 

of climate change; (5) maintaining the 

wild character of the Refuge and 

wilderness quality; (6) future public use; 

(7) how the fire management program 

can help villages address their 

hazardous fuel accumulations; and (8) 

the need for more outreach and better 

communication with the public. 

The Draft CCP and EA describe and 

evaluate two alternatives for managing 

the Refuge for the next 15 years. These 

alternatives follow much of the same 

general management direction. 

Alternative A (the No-Action 

Alternative) is required under NEPA 

and describes continuation of current 

management activities. Alternative A 

serves as a baseline against which to 

compare the other alternative. Under 

Alternative A, management of the 

Refuge would continue to follow 

direction described in the 1987 CCPs 

and records of decision as modified by 

subsequent program-specific plans (e.g., 

fisheries, cultural resources, and fire 

management plans). Currently 91 

percent of the Refuge is in Minimal 

management, 7 percent is designated 

Wilderness, and 2 percent is in Wild 

River management. Alternative A would 

continue to protect and maintain the 

existing wildlife values, natural 

diversity, and ecological integrity of the 

Refuge. Human disturbances to fish and 

wildlife habitats and populations would 

be minimal. Private and commercial 

uses of the Refuge would not change, 

and public uses employing existing 

access methods would continue to be 

allowed. Opportunities to pursue 

traditional subsistence activities, and 

recreational hunting, fishing, and other 

wildlife dependent activities, would be 

maintained. Opportunities to pursue 

research would be maintained. 

Alternative B (the Proposed Action) 

would generally continue to follow 

management direction described in the 

1987 CCPs and records of decision as 

modified by subsequent programspecific plans, but some of that 

management direction has been updated 

by changes in policy since the 1987 

Koyukuk and Northern Unit Innoko and 

Nowitna Refuge CCPs were approved. 

Alternative B identifies these specific 

changes in management direction as 

well as goals and objectives for Refuge 

management. 

Public Meetings 

We will continue to involve the 

public through open houses, meetings 

and comments. We will mail notices of 

availability to our Refuge mailing list. 

Public meetings will be held in the 

following Refuge area communities: 

Galena, Hughes, Huslia, Kaltag, 

Koyukuk, Nulato, Ruby, and Tanana. 

Details will be announced locally in 

advance of each meeting. 

Public Availability of Comments 

Before including your name, address, 

phone number, e-mail address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time.

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife 

and Plants; 5-Year Reviews of Three 

Wildlife Species and Eight Plant 

Species in the Mountain-Prairie Region 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of initiation of review; 

request for information on 11 species. 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service (Service) initiate 5-year 

reviews of three wildlife species and 

eight plant species under the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended (Act) (see Table 1 under 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION ). We 

request any new information on these 

species that may have a bearing on their 

classification as endangered or 

threatened. Based on the results of these 

5-year reviews, we will make 

recommendations as to whether each of 

these species is properly classified 

under the Act. 

DATES: To allow us adequate time to 

conduct these reviews, we must receive 

your information no later than 

December 5, 2008. However, we will 

continue to accept new information 

about any listed species at any time. 

ADDRESSES: For instructions on how to 

submit information and review the 

information that we receive on these 

species, see ‘‘Public Solicitation of New 

Information.’’ 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

species-specific information, contact the 

appropriate person under ‘‘Public 

Solicitation of New Information.’’ 

Individuals who are hearing impaired or 

speech impaired may call the Federal 

Relay Service at (800) 877–8337 for TTY 

(telephone typewriter or teletypewriter) 

assistance. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Why Do We Conduct a 5-Year Review? 

Under the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), 

we maintain the List of Endangered and 

Threatened Wildlife and Plant Species 

(List) at 50 CFR 17.11 and 17.12. We 

amend the List by publishing final rules 

in the Federal Register. Section 

4(c)(2)(A) of the Act requires that we 

conduct a review of listed species at 

least once every 5 years. Section 

4(c)(2)(B) requires that we determine (1) 

Whether a species no longer meets the 

definition of threatened or endangered 

and should be removed from the List 

(delisted); (2) whether a species more 

properly meets the definition of 

threatened and should be reclassified 

from endangered to threatened; or (3) 

whether a species more properly meets 

the definition of endangered and should 

be reclassified from threatened to 

endangered. Using the best scientific 

and commercial data available, we 

consider a species for delisting if the 

data substantiate that the species is 

neither endangered nor threatened for 

one or more of the following reasons: (1) 

The species is considered extinct; (2) 

the species is considered to be 

recovered; and/or (3) the original data 

available when the species was listed, or 

the interpretation of such data, were in 

error (50 CFR 424.11(d)). Any change in 

Federal classification requires a separate 

rulemaking process. Therefore, we are 

requesting submission of any new 

information (best scientific and 

commercial data) on these species that 

is relevant to our review under section 

4(c)(2)(A). 

Our regulations at 50 CFR 424.21 

require that we publish a notice in the 

Federal Register announcing those 

species currently under review. This 

notice announces initiation of our active 

review of the species in Table 1.

What Information Do We Consider in 

Our Review? 

In our 5-year review, we consider all 

new information available at the time of 

the review. These reviews will generally 

consider the best scientific and 

commercial data that have become 

available since the original listing 

determination or most recent status 

review of each species, such as—(A) 

Species biology, including but not 

limited to population trends, 

distribution, abundance, demographics, 

and genetics; (B) Habitat conditions, 

including but not limited to amount, 

distribution, and suitability; (C) 

Conservation measures that have been 

implemented to benefit the species; (D) 

Threat status and trends (see five factors 

under heading ‘‘How do we determine 

whether a species is endangered or 

threatened?’’); and (E) Other new 

information, data, or corrections, 

including but not limited to taxonomic 

or nomenclatural changes, identification 

of erroneous information contained in 

the List of Endangered and Threatened
