SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Introduction
Our publishing this notice of
availability facilitates the CCP process
for Lake Umbagog NWR that we started
by publishing a notice of intent in the
Federal Register (67 FR 136; July 16,
2002). For more about the process, see
that notice. We released the draft CCP/
EIS to the public and requested your
comments in a notice of availability in
the Federal Register (72 FR 129; July 6,
2007).
We are announcing the availability of
the final CCP/EIS for Lake Umbagog
NWR, and our preferred actions for
managing it, in accordance with the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) (40 CFR 1506.6(b)). The
document contains a thorough analysis
of impacts on the human environment.
Our next planning step will be to
complete a Record of Decision no
sooner than 30 days after publication of
this notice (40 CFR 1506.10(b)(2)).
The CCP will guide us in managing
and administering the refuge for the
next 15 years. We propose that
alternative B, the Service-preferred
alternative, serve as the foundation for
the final, stand-alone CCP. We highlight
the modifications we made to
alternative B between the draft and final
CCP/EIS in ‘‘Comments,’’ below.
Our first purchase of land for the
refuge established it in 1992. Its
purposes are to provide long-term
protection for unique wetlands, federaland state-listed threatened or
endangered species, migratory birds of
conservation concern, and regionally
significant concentrations of wildlife.
This 21,650-acre refuge lies in Coos
County, New Hampshire, and Oxford
County, Maine. It contains widely
diverse types of upland and wetland
habitats around the 8,500-acre Umbagog
Lake. Since establishing the refuge, we
have focused primarily on conserving

land within its approved boundary,
monitoring the occupancy and
productivity of its common loon, bald
eagle, and osprey nesting sites and
protecting them from human
disturbance, conducting baseline
biological inventories, and providing
public opportunities for wildlifedependent recreation.
Background
The CCP Process
The National Wildlife Refuge System
Improvement Act of 1997 (16 U.S.C.
668dd–668ee; Improvement Act), which
amends the National Wildlife Refuge
System Administration Act of 1966,
requires us to develop a CCP for each
national wildlife refuge. The purpose for
developing CCPs is to provide refuge
managers with 15-year plans for
achieving refuge purposes, contributing
toward the mission of the National
Wildlife Refuge System (NWRS), and
conforming to 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: Hunting, fishing,
wildlife observation and photography,
and environmental education and
interpretation. We will review and
update the CCP at least once every 15
years, also in accordance with the
Improvement Act.
CCP Alternatives
Our draft CCP/EIS (72 FR 129) and
this final CCP/EIS fully analyze three
alternatives for the future management
of the refuge. During the planning
process, we identified and addressed 18
major issues generated by several
sources: the public, state or federal
agencies, other Service programs, and
our planning team. Both the draft and
final plans identify alternative B as the
Service-preferred alternative.
Comments
We solicited comments on the draft
CCP/EIS for Lake Umbagog refuge for a
45-day period starting on July 6, 2007
(72 FR 129). In response to requests for
additional time, we extended that
comment period another 32 days, until
September 21, 2007. We held five public
hearings and two information sessions
during that time, and received 14,269
responses, both oral and written. We
evaluated all of the written and
electronic correspondence and oral
testimony we received, and responded
to them in final CCP/EIS appendix O,
