30-Day Notice for 1004-0162

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 36 / Wednesday, February 25, 2009 / Notices
and Service and Departmental policies
and procedures.
Refuge Overview
Both the Hakalau Forest and Kona
Forest Units are part of the Hakalau
Forest Refuge. The Hakalau Forest Unit
was established in 1985 to protect and
manage endangered forest birds and
their rain forest habitat. Located on the
west slope of Mauna Kea Mountain on
Island of Hawai’i, the 32,733-acre refuge
unit supports a diversity of native birds
and plants. The Kona Forest Unit was
established in 1997 to protect native
forest birds and the endangered
Hawaiian crow (alala). Located on the
west slope of Mauna Loa, the 5,300-acre
refuge unit supports diverse native bird
and plant species as well as the rare
habitats found in lava tubes and lava
tube skylights.
Preliminary Issues, Concerns, and
Opportunities
We have identified preliminary
issues, concerns, and opportunities that
we may address in the CCP. During
public scoping, we may identify
additional issues. During the CCP
planning process the Service will
analyze methods for protecting refuge
resources in the long term, while
providing opportunities for wildlifedependent recreation.
The Service will specifically evaluate
the Refuge’s forest restoration program,
which encompasses volunteer efforts,
control of avian diseases and invasive
species (both plant and animal),
endangered plant propagation, and
outplanting. We will also consider
possible improvements to our public
use programs and an evaluation of its
impacts to wildlife, and opportunities
for native gathering rights.
