  • Proposed Rule
    This document is scheduled to be published in the Federal Register on 01/28/2020 and available online at https://federalregister.gov/d/2020-01012, and on govinfo.gov DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Fish and Wildlife Service 50 CFR Part 17 [Docket No. FWS–R5–ES–2019–0098; 4500090023] RIN 1018-BE19 Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Designation of Critical Habitat for the Big Sandy Crayfish and the Guyandotte River Crayfish AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior. ACTION: Proposed rule. SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), propose to designate critical habitat for the Big Sandy crayfish (Cambarus callainus) and the Guyandotte River crayfish (C. veteranus) under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). In total, approximately 582 stream kilometers (skm) (362 stream miles (smi)) in Martin and Pike Counties, Kentucky; Buchanan, Dickenson, and Wise Counties, Virginia; and McDowell, Mingo, and Wayne Counties, West Virginia, are proposed as critical habitat for the Big Sandy crayfish. Approximately 135 skm (84 smi) in Logan and Wyoming Counties, West Virginia, are proposed as critical habitat for the Guyandotte River crayfish. If we finalize this rule as proposed, it would extend the Act’s protections to these species’ critical habitat. We also announce the availability of a draft economic analysis of the proposed designation of critical habitat for these species. DATES: We will accept comments on the proposed rule or draft economic analysis (DEA) that are received or postmarked on or before [INSERT DATE 60 DAYS AFTER DATE OF 1 PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER]. Comments submitted electronically using the Federal eRulemaking Portal (see ADDRESSES, below) must be received by 11:59 p.m.

  • Alternatives Considered
    Forest-wide NNIS Management Project Chapter 2 – Alternatives Considered Chapter 2 – Alternatives Considered This chapter: Describes the alternatives that were considered to address issues and concerns; Identifies the design features and mitigation measures that would be implemented to reduce the chance of adverse resource effects; and Summarizes the activities and effects of the alternatives in comparative form to clearly display the differences between each alternative and to provide a clear basis for choice among options by the decision maker and the public. 2.1 - Alternatives Considered but Eliminated from Detailed Study During initial planning and scoping, several potential alternatives to the proposed action were suggested. The following is a summary of the alternatives that contributed to the overall range of alternatives considered, but, for the reasons noted here, were eliminated from detailed study. 2.1.1 - Control NNIS on Private Land Not Adjacent to National Forest Land Several people expressed interest in collaborating with the Forest to control NNIS on private property that is not adjacent to National Forest land. While such collaboration may be desirable for reducing local NNIS populations, the proper vehicle for such collaboration is a Cooperative Weed Management Area (CWMA) involving landowners, the Forest Service, and other state, federal, and local agencies. The purpose and need focuses on authorizing treatment of infestations; collaborating to achieve control on a broader scale can be pursued independent of this project as staff and funding allow. Elimination of this concept as an alternative does not preclude the Forest from collaborating with the owners of land that is adjacent to treatment sites on National Forest land.

  • Copy of July 2007 Newsletter 2000 Format
    Catch The Striper Fever! Tennessee Striped Bass Association, Inc. Newsletter July 2007 2007 KIDS FISHING DAY President’s Letter With July 4th just a few days away, and maybe it will be past by the time some of you receive your newsletter, I would like to recognize our military and say a great big thank you to all who currently serve and who have served our country in the past. I hope that, as the nation celebrates our independence, the American military will be on everyone’s mind. As they serve in Iraq and Afghanistan and other places around the world, I hope that each of us can keep them in our thoughts and in our prayers. God Bless the American Soldier. As the summer heats up and the water gets more and more traffic, it pays to be alert and courteous while on the water. In the May 2006 newsletter, I described almost being hit by someone who was not paying attention and put my life and 2 or 3 others in danger. Just like driving on the highway, don’t assume that the other drivers are as alert as they should be. Just because they have a nice shiny new boat doesn’t mean that they know how to operate it. Pay attention to everything because your life may depend on it. Since were talking about the heat, everyone knows that it gets a little harder to keep your bait healthy during the really hot months. You will find it necessary to add a little ice to your tank to keep them cool and keep them from stressing.
