PURPOSE: The exchange of lands between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and Doyon, Limited is proposed to enhance the Yukon Flats National Wildlife Refuge of Alaska. Since the refuge was established in 1980, Doyon has been interested in acquiring federal oil and gas interests in the south-central portion of dedicated area. Under the terms of an agreement in principle between the FWS and Doyon, the U.S. government would receive fee title to at least 150,000 acres of Doyon lands, including both surface and subsurface rights, with priority fish and wildlife habitats that can be incorporated into the refuge. Doyon would receive fee title to approximately 110,000 acres of refuge lands, including both surface...

The National Wildlife Refuge System (NWRS) is a network of 545 protected areas designated to manage and protect wildlife in the U.S. The 1997 NWRS Improvement Act requires the NWRS to be managed in a manner consistent with the preservation of its biological integrity, diversity, and environmental health. I used the principles of representation, redundancy, and resilience as indicators of biological integrity and diversity of 43 waterfowl species on NWRS lands. Waterfowl plays an extremely important role in the life of the American public and has been a priority conservation target for the NWRS for over 70 years. I evaluated the representation and redundancy of waterfowl species on National Wildlife Refuges (NWRs)...
This Comprehensive Conservation Plan is a revision of the 1988 plan currently used to manage Arctic Refuge. The revised plan describes six alternatives for Refuge management and assesses the effects of implementing each of the alternatives. The document, with links, is divided into four volumes: an introduction, appendices, comment analysis, and sample of public comments.
As required by the Federal Advisory Committee Act (92, 86 Stat. 770), , the National Park Service (NPS) is hereby giving notice that the Lake Clark National Park Subsistence Resource Commission (SRC) will hold meetings to develop and continue work on NPS subsistence program recommendations and other related subsistence management issues. If you are interested in applying for Lake Clark National Park SRC membership, contact the Superintendent at 240 W. 5th Avenue, Suite 236, Anchorage, AK 99501 or visit the park Web site at: http://www.nps.gov/lacl/contacts.htm.
The boundary change that resulted from the "Addition of Kurupa Lake and Adjoining Lands to the Park" was not included in the legal description published in the Federal Register on September 30, 1992, because that legal description was required by Section 103(b) of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act Pub.

PURPOSE: The implementation of a revised comprehensive conservation plan for the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge of Alaska is proposed. The plan, which would perpetuate or replace the currently in force 1985 management plan, would guide management of the refuge for the next 15 years. The 1.32-mllion-acre refuge, which lies on the Kenai Peninsula along the Turnagain Arm and Cook Inlet, has been described as "Alaska in miniature" with reference to its cross-section of Alaskan habitats. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to large-scale habitat changes and the use of fire, management of existing facilities for public use while ensuring natural resource protection, enhancement of wildlife-dependent...

Like many protected areas, Denali National Park and Preserve faces a variety of challenges in its management planning. As an Alaska conservation unit that has been significantly expanded by the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 (ANILCA), Denali faces the additional responsibility of acknowledging that its management of controversial issues affects how other wilderness areas are managed throughout the state. In dealing with controversies such as the appropriate types and levels of snow mobile use and in amending its general management plan; the park has recognized the importance of non-material values to the overall significance of this sub-arctic ecosystem. Non-material values such as recreational...

Pursuing a wilderness study in this plan did not emerge as an important issue, and the NPS has decided this plan should focus on providing for visitor use while protecting park resources and values. [...]the NPS is deferring the wilderness study and requisite environmental impact statement.

"Identifies three alternatives for enhancing wildlife viewing, environmental education, interpretation, photography, and other non-conflicting wildlife-dependent recreation opportunities throughout the 44,000 acre Skilak Wildlife Recreation Area. It also presents our evaluation of the environmental consequences associated with implementing each of the alternatives. The final version of this plan will guide future management of the Skilak Wildlife Recreation Area"--Transmittal letter.
Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4332(C)), and the Wilderness Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.), the National Park Service (NPS) is preparing an environmental impact statement for a general management plan amendment, including a wilderness study, for Lake Clark National Park and Preserve, Alaska. Public scoping will begin in Spring 2011 via a newsletter to state and federal agencies; associated American Indian tribes; associated Native corporations; neighboring communities; borough commissioners; local organizations, researchers and institutions; the congressional delegation; and other interested members of the public.
PURPOSE: The implementation of a fish and wildlife management plan, including components for federally protected species, for the area of the Pacific Northwest affected by actions of the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) is considered. The plan would affect British Columbia and the states of Arizona, California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. BPA supplies roughly half of the electricity consumed in the Northwest. The marketed power is generated primarily by 31 federal hydroelectric projects (known collectively as the Federal Columbia River Power System) as well as from one non-federal nuclear plant. Despite the efforts of the BPA and other regional entities in the...
