SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract.
The Division of Bird Habitat
Conservation administers grant
programs associated with the North
American Wetlands Conservation Act
(NAWCA), Public Law 101–233, and the
Neotropical Migratory Bird
Conservation Act (NMBCA), Public Law
106–247.
North American Wetlands
Conservation Act Grants
NAWCA provides matching grants to
organizations and individuals who have
developed partnerships to carry out
wetlands conservation projects in the
United States, Canada, and Mexico for
the benefit of wetlands-associated
migratory birds and other wildlife.
There is a Standard and a Small Grants
Program. Both are competitive grants
programs and require that grant requests
be matched by partner contributions at
no less than a 1-to-1 ratio. Funds from
U.S. Federal sources may contribute to
a project, but are not eligible as a match.
The Standard Grants Program
supports projects in Canada, the United
States, and Mexico that involve longterm protection, restoration, and/or
enhancement of wetlands and
associated uplands habitats. In Mexico,

partners may also conduct projects
involving technical training,
environmental education and outreach,
organizational infrastructure
development, and sustainable-use
studies.
The Small Grants Program operates
only in the United States. It supports the
same types of projects and adheres to
the same selection criteria and
administrative guidelines as the U.S.
Standard Grants Program. However,
project activities are usually smaller in
scope and involve fewer project dollars.
Grant requests may not exceed $75,000,
and funding priority is given to grantees
or partners new to the NAWCA Grants
Program.
We publish notices of funding
availability on Grants.gov (http://
www.grants.gov), as well as in the
Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance
(https://www.cfda.gov). To compete for
grant funds, partnerships submit
applications that describe in substantial
detail project locations, project
resources, future benefits, and other
characteristics that meet the standards
established by the North American
Wetlands Conservation Council and the
requirements of NAWCA. Materials that
describe the program and assist
applicants in formulating project
proposals are available on our Web site
at http://www.fws.gov/birdhabitat/
Grants/NAWCA. Persons who do not
have access to the Internet may obtain
instructional materials by mail. We have
not made any major changes in the
scope and general nature of the
instructions since the OMB first
approved the information collection in
1999.
Neotropical Migratory Bird
Conservation Act
NMBCA establishes a matching grant
program to fund projects that promote
the long-term conservation of
neotropical migratory birds and their
habitats in the United States, Canada,
Latin America, and the Caribbean.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Introduction
With this notice, we continue the CCP
process for James River NWR. We
published our original notice of intent
to prepare a CCP in the Federal Register
on January 11, 2012 (77 FR 1716).
The 4,324-acre James River NWR lies
in the Chesapeake Bay watershed and is
located along the James River in Prince
George County, Virginia, approximately
8 miles southeast of the city of
Hopewell, and 30 miles southeast of
Richmond, the State capital. The refuge
was established under the authority of
the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16
U.S.C. 1534) in 1991, to protect
nationally significant nesting and

63161

roosting habitat for the bald eagle
(Haliaeetus leucocephalus). The refuge
encompasses 4,324 acres of pinedominated hardwood and floodplain
forests, freshwater marsh and shrub
swamp, aquatic habitats, erosional
bluffs, and non-forested upland. The
refuge also has a rich cultural history,
illuminated by numerous known
archaeological and historical sites.
Wildlife-dependent recreational
opportunities at James River NWR
include a 24-day deer hunt each fall, as
well as wildlife observation,
photography, and environmental
education and interpretive program
opportunities by reservation.
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 wildlifedependent 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.
Public Outreach
In August 2012, we distributed a
planning newsletter to over 550 parties
on our project mailing list. The
newsletter informed people about the
planning process and asked recipients
to contact us about issues or concerns
they would like us to address. We also
posted the newsletter on our Web site
for people to access electronically. In
addition, we notified the general public
of our planning project, and our interest
in hearing about issues and concerns, by
publishing news releases in local
newspapers. We also held afternoon and
evening public scoping meetings on
September 12, 2012, in Prince George,
Virginia. The purpose of the two
meetings was to share information on
the planning process and to solicit
management issues and concerns.
Throughout the process, refuge staff
