This document includes an allotment by allotment analysis. Forest Service Land and Resource management Plans provide guidance and direction for managing National Forests and Grasslands for a 10-15 year period. A Region-wide Forest Plan amendment was adopted. This summary includes the general and species specific guidance related to grazing management activities.

The Comprehensive Conservation Plan (CCP) for the Bitter Lake NWR will serve as a management tool to be used by the Refuge staff and its partners in the preservation and restoration of the ecosystem's natural resources. In that regard, the plan will guide management decisions over the next five to ten years and set forth strategies for achieving Refuge goals and objectives within that time frame.

On September 3-5, 2003, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) sponsored a workshop in Anchorage, Alaska. The goal of this meeting was to identify components for the development of a comprehensive, long-term polar bear monitoring program in association with the oil and gas industry in Alaska. This workshop was the initial effort to design an effective monitoring strategy that will provide information to help reduce bear/human interactions and help protect polar bear habitat for the Southern Beaufort Sea polar bear population. Potential oil and gas industry impacts on polar bears which were discussed during the workshop included: habitat alteration, chemical contamination, attraction and preclusion of areas, oil spills, industrial noise, and polar bear interactions with humans. Ideally, an improved management plan which identifies information necessary to monitor polar bears of the Southern Beaufort Sea stock will result from the recommendations of this workshop.

This environmental assessment considers the biological, environmental, and socioeconomic effects of a proposal to establish a self-sustaining population of whooping cranes (Grus americana) separate from the two existing populations. This action has been recommended by the Whooping Crane Recovery Team to contribute to the long-term recovery of the endangered whooping crane. Alternatives considered in this environmental assessment include: (1) No Action; (2) establish a nonessential experimental migratory population of whooping cranes in the eastern United States with introduction of cranes to Wisconsin and migration to a wintering site at Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge in Florida (Preferred Alternative); (3) establish a migratory population of whooping cranes, classified as endangered, in the same locations; (4) establish a nonessential experimental migratory population of whooping cranes with initial reintroduction to Seney National Wildlife Refuge in Michigan and migration to a wintering site at Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge in Florida. Regions 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service are cooperating in this endeavor.
