Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 90 / Tuesday, May 12, 2009 / Notices 22177 

on August 28, 2008 (73 FR 50834). The 

draft CCP/EA evaluated 3 alternatives 

for managing the 12 Refuges for the next 

15 years. 

The preferred alternative will provide 

for enhanced wetland and upland 

management, where warranted, on 

Refuge lands. Management objectives 

for various habitat types are based on 

habitat preferences of groups of target 

species, such as waterfowl, migratory 

shore birds, grassland bird species, and 

priority species. Refuge staff will focus 

on high-priority tracts and mediumpriority tracts. The Refuge staff will 

implement compatible production 

enhancement techniques for targeted 

migratory bird populations. The Refuge 

staff will maintain existing 

environmental education and public use 

programs, with additional waterfowl 

emphasis. We propose, at a future date, 

a new environmental learning center for 

Audubon Refuge, and we are also 

planning interpretive panels for Lake 

Alice Refuge. 

We selected the preferred alternative 

because it best meets the purposes and 

goals of the Refuge, as well as the 

mission and goals of the National 

Wildlife Refuge System. The preferred 

alternative will benefit migrating and 

nesting waterfowl, shore birds, 

migratory upland birds, and resident 

wildlife. Environmental education and 

partnerships will result in improved 

wildlife-dependent recreational 

opportunities. Cultural and historical 

resources as well as federally listed 

species will be protected. 

We are furnishing this notice to 

advise other agencies and the public of 

the availability of the final CCP and 

Finding of No Significant Impact, to 

provide information on desired 

conditions for the Refuges, and to detail 

how we will implement management 

strategies. Based on the review and 

evaluation of the information contained 

in the environmental assessment, our 

Regional Director has determined that 

implementation of the final CCP does 

not constitute a major Federal action 

that would significantly affect the 

quality of the human environment 

within the meaning of Section 102(2)(c) 

of the National Environmental Policy 

Act. Therefore, an Environmental 

Impact Statement will not be prepared. 

Future site-specific proposals discussed 

in the final CCP will be addressed in 

separate planning efforts with full 

public involvement.

Deputy Regional Director.
