60-day FR Notice

tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 79 / Wednesday, April 24, 2013 / Notices
(77 FR 65574). The public was given 30
days to comment. Six individuals and
groups provided comments, and
appropriate changes were made to the
final Plan based on substantive
comments. The draft Plan and
Environmental Assessment identified
and evaluated four alternatives for
managing the refuge complex for the
next 15 years. Alternative B (the
proposed action submitted by the
planning team) was selected by the
Regional Director as the preferred
alternative, and will serve as the final
Plan.
The final Plan identifies goals,
objectives, and strategies that describe
the future management of all three units
of the Lake Andes National Wildlife
Refuge Complex. Alternative B, the
preferred alternative, acknowledges the
importance of naturally functioning
ecological communities on the refuge.
However, changes to the landscape (e.g.,
human alterations to the landscape and
past refuge management that created
wetlands) prevent managing the refuge
solely as a naturally functioning
ecological community. Because some of
these changes are significant, some
refuge habitats will require ‘‘hands-on’’
management actions during the life of
this Plan, while others will be restored.
Refuge habitats will continue to be
managed utilizing prescriptive cattle
grazing, prescribed fire, and a
combination of cropping and native
vegetation seeding to restore native
prairie. Management of the refuge
complex will emphasize developing and
implementing an improved, sciencebased priority system to restore prairie
habitats for the benefit of waterfowl,
State and federally listed species,
migratory birds, and other native
wildlife.
The refuge complex staff will focus on
high-priority lands and, when possible,
on lower-priority parcels. The focus is
to restore ecological processes and
native grassland species to the greatest
extent possible within the parameters of
available resources and existing
constraints. The staff of the refuge
complex staff will maintain and in some
cases expand the existing levels and
quality of hunting, fishing, wildlife
observation, photography, and
environmental education and
interpretation programs. The refuge
complex staff will continue to work
with local groups and agencies to
improve the quality, and augment the
quantity of Lake Andes’ water. The
refuge complex staff will continue to
work with the Corps of Engineers and
National Park Service local staffs to
ensure protection of bald eagle and
other migratory bird roosting and

nesting sites from erosion along the
banks of the Missouri River in the Karl
E. Mundt National Wildlife Refuge.
Mechanical, biological, and chemical
treatments will be used to control
invasive plant species. Monitoring and
documenting the response to
management actions will be greatly
expanded. Additional habitat and
wildlife objectives will be clearly stated
in step down management plans to be
completed as this plan is implemented.
The Service is furnishing this notice
to advise other agencies and the public
of the availability of the final Plan, to
provide information on the desired
conditions for the refuge, and to detail
how the Service will implement
management strategies. Based on the
review and evaluation of the
information contained in the EA, the
Regional Director has determined that
implementation of the Final Plan does
not constitute a major Federal action
that would significantly affect the
quality of the human environment
within the meaning of Section 102(2)(c)
of the National Environmental Policy
Act. Therefore, an Environmental
Impact Statement will not be prepared.
Dated: March 28, 2013.

Deputy Regional Director, Mountain-Prairie

Some of this information is collected on
