individual’s participation in the Section 

8 or public housing programs. When an 

individual presents a PHA, owner, or 

management agency with a claim for 

protections under the Violence Against 

Women Act (VAWA), the PHA, owner, 

or management agency may (but is not 

required to) to request that the 

individual complete, sign and submit 

within 14 business days of the request, 

a HUD approved certification form, or 

alternate documentation as described on 

the certification form, to document the 

domestic violence, dating violence, or 

stalking. The PHA’s, owner’s, or 

management agency’s request for 

documentation must be made in 

writing. On the certification form, the 

individual certifies that he/she is a 

victim of domestic violence, dating 

violence, or stalking, and that the 

incident or incidences in question are 

bona fide incidences of such actual or 

threatened abuse. On the certification 

form, the individual must provide the 

name of the perpetrator. 

PHAs are instructed that the delivery 

of the certification form to the tenant in 

response to incident via mail may place 

the victim at risk, e.g., the abuser may 

monitor the mail; consequently, PHAs, 

owners and managers may require that 

the tenant come into the office to pick 

up the certification form. PHAs and 

owners are also encouraged to work 

with tenants to make delivery 

arrangements that do not place the 

tenant at risk. 

If the PHA, owner, or management 

agent provides the individual with a 

written request for documentation of the 

abuse, and the individual does not 

provide the certification form, or 

alternate documentation as described on 

the certification form, within 14 

business days from the date of receipt of 

the PHA’s, owner’s, or management 

agent’s written request (or after any 

extension of that date provided by the 

PHA, owner or management agent), 

none of the protections afforded to the 

victim of domestic violence, dating 

violence or stalking by sections 606 or 

607 will apply. The PHA, owner, or 

management agent would therefore be 

free to evict, or terminate assistance, in 

the circumstances authorized by 

otherwise applicable law and lease 

provisions, without regard to the 

amendments made by section 606 and 

607.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Introduction 

With this notice, we continue the CCP 

process for the Pearl Harbor National 

Wildlife Refuge. We started this process 

by publishing a notice of intent in the 

Federal Register on December 1, 2008 

(73 FR 72826). 

Pearl Harbor Refuge is located on the 

southern coast of the island of O‘ahu 

and is comprised of three units: 

Honouliuli, Waiawa, and Kalaeloa. The 

Honouliuli Unit and Waiawa Unit are 

wetland units located on the shores of 

Pearl Harbor. The 37-acre Honouliuli 

Unit and the 25-acre Waiawa Unit were 

established in 1972 to protect and 

enhance habitat for endangered 

Hawaiian waterbirds. Habitats found on 

these units include open water, 

freshwater marsh, mudflat, grassland, 

and shrubland. The units provide 

important breeding, feeding, and resting 

areas for endangered waterbirds, a 

variety of migratory waterfowl, 

shorebirds, and other wetland birds. 

Common migrants include Northern 

pintail and Pacific golden plover. 

Neither unit is open to the general 

public; however, a grade school wetland 

education program is administered 

under a special use permit at the 

Honouliuli Unit. 

The 38-acre Kalaeloa Unit is a coastal 

upland unit on O‘ahu’s southwestern 

point, and was once part of the Naval 

Air Station Barbers Point (NAS). When 

the NAS closed in 2001, the unit was 

established to protect and enhance 

habitat for the endangered ‘Ewa 

hinahina plant. The unit contains the 

largest remnant stand of ‘Ewa hinahina 

and a reintroduced population of 

‘akoko, another endangered plant. We 

supplement these plant populations 

with nursery plantings and exotic plant 

control. The unit is located within the 

arid ‘Ewa Plains, and encompasses 

exposed coral shelf, rocky shoreline, 

and sparse vegetation. The unit includes 

a unique microhabitat called anchialine 

pools. These salt water pools are in the 

raised limestone coral reef, and are 

connected to the ocean via tiny 

subterranean cracks and crevices within 

the coralline substrate. The anchialine 

pools support unique insects, plants, 

and animals, including two imperiled

species of native shrimp. The refuge’s 

volunteer program administers collegelevel educational programs and habitat 

restoration activities on the unit. The 

unit is closed to the general public. 

Background 

The CCP Process 

The National Wildlife Refuge System 

Administration Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 

668dd–668ee) (Refuge Administration 

Act), as amended by the National 

Wildlife Refuge System Improvement 

Act of 1997, requires us to develop a 

CCP for each national wildlife refuge. 

The purpose for developing a CCP is to 

provide refuge managers with a 15-year 

plan 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 our policies. In 

addition to outlining broad management 

direction on conserving wildlife and 

their habitats, CCPs identify wildlifedependent recreational opportunities 

available to the public, including 

opportunities for hunting, fishing, 

wildlife observation and photography, 

and environmental education and 

interpretation. We will review and 

update the CCP at least every 15 years 

in accordance with the Refuge 

Administration Act. 

Public Outreach 

We began the public scoping phase of 

the CCP planning process by publishing 

a Notice of Intent (NOI) in the Federal 

Register on December 1, 2008 (73 FR 

72826), announcing our intention to 

complete a CCP/EA for the James 

Campbell and Pearl Harbor National 

Wildlife Refuges. Simultaneously, we 

released Planning Update 1. We invited 

the public to two open house meetings 

and requested public comments in the 

NOI and in Planning Update 1. We held 

the public open house meetings, in 

Pearl City, Hawai‘i, on December 9, 

2008, and in Kahuku, Hawai‘i, on 

January 8, 2009. In Planning Update 2, 

distributed in June 2009, we provided a 

summary of the comments we received 

and described refuge resources. We 

considered all of the public comments 

we received to date during development 

of the Draft CCP/EA. We will announce 

the public comment period for the 

James Campbell National Wildlife 

Refuge Draft CCP/EA in fall 2010. 

Draft CCP Alternatives We Are 

Considering 

We drafted two alternatives for 

managing the Pearl Harbor Refuge. 

Under both alternatives entry into the 

fenced portions of the refuge units will 

continue by special use permit. The 

Betty Bliss Memorial Overlook will be 

constructed outside the Honouliuli 

Unit’s fence, to provide year-round 

interpretation, wildlife viewing, and 

photography opportunities. The coastal 

foot trail outside the Kalaeloa Unit’s 

fence will remain open to the public for 

shoreline fishing. Both alternatives 

would protect threatened and 

endangered species and cultural 

resources. Brief descriptions of the 

alternatives follow. 

Alternative A 

Under Alternative A, we would 

continue the current level of 

management. On the wetlands of the 

Honouliuli and Waiawa Units, we 

would continue to control predators and 

manage and protect habitat for 

endangered Hawaiian waterbirds, as 

part of the Statewide effort to 

implement the Hawaiian Waterbird 

Recovery Plan. Under Alternative A, 

control of invasive plant species would 

be modest, and intensive predator 

control would continue. On the 

Kalaeloa Unit, we would continue to 

restore and manage endangered plants 

and control invasive plants at the 

current level. Protection would continue 

for 14 existing anchialine pools on the 

Kalaeloa Unit, but no additional pools 

would be restored. We would continue 

to cooperate with the Bishop Museum’s 

effort to catalog avian and other fossil 

remains from the pools. 

Alternative B 

Under Alternative B, our preferred 

alternative, we would focus 

management efforts at the Kalaeloa Unit 

on increasing the restoration of native 

and rare coralline plain habitat. We 

would increase the existing 25-acre 

restoration area to 37 acres. Controlling 

and reducing invasive plants, and 

establishing native plants, including the 

‘akoko and ‘Ewa hinahina, would be 

emphasized. We would develop a foot 

trail system, protect 14 existing 

anchialine pools, identify up to 30 

additional pool sites for potential 

restoration, and continue with 

experimental translocation of 

endangered damselflies (pinapinao) to 

suitable habitat in the anchialine pools. 

We would also expand volunteer, 

research, and environmental education 

opportunities, including working with 

the Bishop Museum and the 

Smithsonian Institute to pursue an indepth paleontological study of the entire 

unit. 

On the Honouliuli and Waiawa Units, 

our focus would be on an increased 

level of wetland management to 

improve the units’ overall capacity to 

support endangered waterbirds. Under 

this Alternative B, water level and 

vegetation management, invasive 

species control, including predator 

control, would be improved or 

increased as part of the Statewide effort 

to implement the Hawaiian Waterbird 

Recovery Plan. On the Honouliuli Unit, 

we would remove mangrove on 5 acres 

to improve and maintain intertidal 

mudflat habitat, and determine the 

feasibility of installing a predator-proof 

fence. On the Waiawa Unit, we would 

work with partners and neighbors to 

determine the feasibility of developing 

an additional refuge overlook.
