Abstract: Section 4 of the Endangered

seq.) specifies the process by which we

endangered. When we consider whether
or not to list a species, the ESA requires

us to take into account the efforts being
made by any State or any political
subdivision of a State to protect such

species. We also take into account the
efforts being made by other entities.
States or other entities often formalize
conservation efforts in conservation
agreements, conservation plans,
management plans, or similar
documents. The conservation efforts
recommended or called for in such
documents could prevent some species
from becoming so imperiled that they
meet the definition of a threatened or
endangered species under the ESA.
The Policy for Evaluation of
Conservation Efforts When Making
Listing Decisions (PECE) (68 FR 15100,
March 28, 2003) encourages the
development of conservation
agreements/plans and provides certainty
about the standard that an individual
conservation effort must meet in order
for us to consider whether it contributes
to forming a basis for making a decision
about the listing of a species. PECE
applies to ‘‘formalized conservation
efforts’’ that have not been implemented
or have been implemented but have not
yet demonstrated if they are effective at
the time of a listing decision.
Under PECE, formalized conservation
efforts are defined as conservation
efforts (specific actions, activities, or
programs designed to eliminate or
reduce threats or otherwise improve the
status of a species) identified in a
conservation agreement, conservation
plan, management plan, or similar
document. To assist us in evaluating a
formalized conservation effort under
PECE, we collect information such as
conservation plans, monitoring results,
and progress reports. The development
of such agreements/plans is voluntary.
There is no requirement that the
individual conservation efforts included
in such documents be designed to meet
the standard in PECE. The PECE policy
is posted on our Candidate Conservation
Web site at http://www.fws.gov/
endangered/esa-library/pdf/PECEfinal.pdf.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Introduction
With this notice, we announce the
availability of the final EIS for the
refuge. We started this process through
a notice in the Federal Register (78 FR
48183; August 7, 2013). Following a
lengthy scoping and alternatives
development period, we published a
second notice in the Federal Register
(80 FR 26084; May 6, 2015) announcing
the availability of the draft CCP and
draft EIS and our intention to hold
public meetings, and requested
comments. In addition, EPA published
a notice announcing the draft CCP and
EIS (80 FR 27950; May 15, 2015), as
required under section 309 of the Clean
Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.). We now
announce the final EIS. Under the Clean
Air Act, EPA also will announce the
final EIS via the Federal Register. This
notice complies with our CCP policy to
advise other Federal and State agencies,
Tribes, and the public of the availability
of the final EIS for this refuge.
EPA’s Role in the EIS Process
The EPA is charged under section 309
of the Clean Air Act to review all
Federal agencies’ EISs and to comment
on the adequacy and the acceptability of
the environmental impacts of proposed
actions in the EISs.
EPA also serves as the repository (EIS
database) for EISs prepared by Federal
agencies and provides notice of their
availability in the Federal Register. The
EIS database provides information about
EISs prepared by Federal agencies, as
well as EPA’s comments concerning the
EISs. All EISs are filed with EPA, which
publishes a notice of availability on
Fridays in the Federal Register.
The notice of availability is the start
of the 45-day public comment period for
draft EISs, and the start of the 30-day
‘‘wait period’’ for final EISs, during
which agencies are generally required to
wait 30 days before making a decision
on a proposed action. For more
