whether there is additional information
not in the draft ITP and draft EA that
could better inform the decision making
process.
In the draft EA, we attempted to
quantify the incidental take of nontarget wildlife (species other than lynx)
in traps. We are particularly interested
in whether there is information in
addition to that provided in the draft EA
concerning the prevalence of incidental
take of non-target wildlife in traps.
Which species are most frequently
caught in Maine? What percent of these
animals are injured or killed, and does
incidental trapping have populationlevel affects?
At this time, there is no draft
Implementing Agreement (IA)
associated with the draft ITP. The
purpose of an IA is to ensure proper
implementation of each of the terms and
conditions of the final ITP and to
describe the applicable remedies and
recourse should any party fail to
perform its obligations, responsibilities,
and tasks. We may elect to develop an
IA with MDIFW once any necessary
changes to the draft ITP have been
made.
Public Comments
The Service invites the public to
comment on the draft ITP and draft EA
during a 60-day public comment period
(see DATES). All comments received,
including names and addresses, will
become part of the administrative
record. Before including your address,
phone number, electronic mail address,
or other personal identifying
information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire
comment including your personal
identifying information may be made
publicly available at any time. While
you may request at the top of your
document that we withhold your
personal identifying information from
public review, we cannot guarantee that
we will be able to do so.
