SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Introduction

    With this notice, we continue the CCP process for the Refuges. We 
started this process by publishing a notice in the Federal Register on 
June 8, 2011 (76 FR 33339). For more information about the Refuges, see 
that notice.

Background

    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 wildlife-
dependent 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.

Draft CCP/EA

    The draft CCP/EA includes detailed information about our planning 
process, the Refuges' resources and issues, and our proposed management 
alternatives. Find the draft CCP/EA on our Web sites: www.fws.gov/refuge/Billy_Frank_Jr_Nisqually/ and www.fws.gov/refuge/grays_harbor/.

Public Involvement

    Public comments are requested, considered, and incorporated 
throughout the planning process. Comments on the draft CCP/EA will be 
analyzed by the Service and addressed in the final planning documents.

    The draft CCP/EA is available at the following libraries, and 
through the sources identified under ADDRESSES.
