of transport. Although there are
recommended methods, the ultimate
responsibility for properly securing
cargo inside a container (by blocking,
bracing, and strapping) resides with the
packer of the container.
U.S. regulations make reference to
dunnage as a method for securing cargo
and defines it in 49 CFR 176.2 as
‘‘lumber of not less than 25 mm (0.98
inch) commercial thickness or
equivalent material laid over or against
structures such as tank tops, decks,
bulkheads, frames, plating, or ladders,
or used for filling voids or fitting around
cargo, to prevent damage during
transportation.’’ However, there is no
reference made to flexible strapping
systems. The Department of
Transportation (DOT) has issued
exemptions to 49 CFR 176.76(a)(4),
allowing the use of fabric restraint
dunnage systems to secure certain
hazardous materials, when installed as
specified by the manufacturer’s
instructions.
There are a variety of options for
developing a standard. One option is to
request that the UN ECE, ILO, and IMO
consider incorporating flexible
strapping systems into their Guidelines.
Another option is to have the
International Standards Organization
(ISO) develop testing and performance
requirements. The U.S. could also create
domestic regulations for incorporation
into 49 CFR part 176. The final option
is to continue operations as they
currently exist, allowing the packer to
determine the best method of securing
cargo without a standardized approval
or certification process.
The Coast Guard invites comments on
the following topics:
• The need for a new approval
process or certification standard for
cargo securing systems.
• Information on currently used
standards for the approval and use of
cargo securing systems.
• Methods for ensuring or verifying
that securing systems adequately secure
cargo without damaging the container or
cargo.
• Existing test methods for securing
systems.
• Materials used for securing cargo
within the container (e.g. wood, plastic,
bags, web, wire, chain, etc.).
• Allowances for movement of cargo
within the container when securing
systems are used.
• Information on cargo securing
systems that are currently being used to
secure cargo in containers, both
domestically and internationally.
Written comments and responses to
the above topics will be added to the
docket number for this notice (USCG–

The CCP Process
The National Wildlife Refuge System
Administration Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C.
668dd–668ee), 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 strategy 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

Total hours

opportunities for hunting, fishing,
wildlife observation, wildlife
photography, and environmental
education and interpretation. We will
review and update the CCP at least
every 15 years in accordance with the
Administration Act.
CCP Alternatives, Including Our
Proposed Alternative
We developed four alternatives for
managing the refuge and chose
Alternative D as the proposed
alternative. Each alternative would
pursue the same four broad refuge
goals—wildlife, habitat, public use, and
refuge administration. A full description
is in the Draft CCP/EA. We summarize
each alternative below.
Alternative A—Current Management
(No Action)
Alternative A would continue current
management strategies, with little or no
change in budgeting or funding. Under
this alternative, we would protect,
maintain, restore, and enhance 6,616
acres of refuge lands and 441 additional
acres included in a migratory bird
closure area around the refuge,
primarily focusing on the needs of
migratory waterfowl. We would place
additional emphasis on the needs of
resident wildlife, migratory non-game
birds, and threatened and endangered
species. We would continue cooperative
farming on 1,200 acres. We would
continue mandated activities for
protection of federally listed species.
Control of nuisance wildlife populations
would be undertaken as necessary.
Habitat management efforts would
concentrate on moist-soil management,
waterfowl impoundments, and crop
production. We would continue to
monitor invasive plants.
We would maintain the current levels
of wildlife-dependent recreation
activities (e.g., hunting, fishing, wildlife
observation, wildlife photography, and
environmental education and
interpretation). We would maintain two
designated hiking trails, a 10-mile, selfguided auto tour route (for wildlife
observation and photography), and three
boat launch ramps with gravel parking
areas, to the extent that these facilities
would not substantially interfere with or
