SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Introduction
With this notice, we finalize the CCP
process for Deer Flat Refuge. We started
this process by publishing a notice of
intent in the Federal Register on July
15, 2010 (75 FR 41232). We requested
public comments on the draft CCP/EIS
in a notice of availability published in
the Federal Register on March 15, 2013
(78 FR 16526). For more information
about the history and purposes of the
Refuge, see that notice.
We completed a thorough analysis of
impacts on the human environment and
responded to public comments in the
final CCP/EIS released to the public
through a Federal Register notice
published on February 20, 2015 (80 FR
9279).
We announce our decision and the
availability of the CCP and ROD in
accordance with National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) (40
CFR 1506.6(b)) requirements.
Alternative 2, as we described it in the
final CCP/EIS, was selected for
implementation at the Refuge. The CCP
will guide Refuge management for 15
years.

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 complete 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.
CCP/ROD
Based on our comprehensive review
and analysis of Deer Flat Refuge’s
resources and issues, the Service
selected Alternative 2, our preferred
alternative, for implementation, as it is
described in the final CCP/EIS, with two
modifications described below. In
reaching our decision to implement
Alternative 2, we identified and
analyzed its impacts to the Refuge
environment in the Draft and Final
CCPs/EISs. Issues, comments, concerns,
and opportunities identified by all
stakeholders throughout the planning
process were considered and addressed.
A summary of public comments and our
responses is available in the CCP, in
Appendix H.
Changes Made to the Selected
Alternative
The following changes were made to
wildlife-dependent public uses in the
Lake Lowell Unit in Alternative 2 after
the final CCP/EIS was released:
D Noncompetitive jogging, bicycling,
and horseback riding groups of 10 or
fewer people are allowed without a
special use permit (SUP). An SUP is still
required for groups larger than 10, and
competitive events are still prohibited.
D Boats using wake-generating devices
(wake-boats) are compatible with
stipulations, including requiring wakeboats to use ballast filtering systems to
prevent invasive species introductions.
Wakes that impact grebe nests are a
concern; however, the new no-wake
zones will provide some additional
protection, and we will continue to
evaluate effects on wildlife to ensure the
use remains compatible.
Other CCP Actions
We will protect Lake Lowell’s
shoreline feeding and nesting sites for
wintering and migratory birds by
closing the lake October 1–April 14,
establishing a 200-yard no-wake zone on
the south side and in the Narrows, and
expanding the southeast no-wake zone
to Gotts Point.
Fishing and wildlife interpretation
will be emphasized, and with increased

law enforcement, Gotts Point will open
to vehicles. We will increase wildlife
inventory and monitoring, invasive
species control, and restoration on the
Snake River Islands Unit, and we will
adjust closures to protect nesting and
wading birds. Wildlife observation and
hunting for deer, upland species, and
waterfowl will be allowed on the unit,
and most islands will be open for
shoreline fishing and free-roam
activities June 15–January 31; and
heron- and gull-nesting islands will be
open July 1–January 31. For additional
details, the CCP/ROD is available on the
Refuge’s Web site: www.fws.gov/
deerflat/refugeplanning.html.
Implementing some of the CCP actions
will be subject to the availability of
funding and any additional compliance
requirements.

Abstract: The Pittman-Robertson
Wildlife Restoration Act (16 U.S.C. 669
et seq.) and the Dingell-Johnson Sport
Fish Restoration Act (16 U.S.C. 777 et
seq., except 777e–1) provide authority
for Federal assistance to the States for
management and restoration of fish and
wildlife. These Acts and our regulations
in the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR) at 50 CFR 80, subpart D, require
that States, territories, and the District of
Columbia annually certify their hunting
and fishing license sales. States,
territories, and the District of Columbia
that receive grants under these Acts use
FWS Forms 3–154a (Part I–Certification)
and 3–154b (Part II–Summary of
Hunting and Sport Fishing Licenses
Issued) to certify the number of hunting
and fishing licenses sold and the
amount of sales. We use the information
collected to apportion and distribute
funds according to the formula specified
in each Act.
