Public Use Regulations for the Alaska Peninsula/Becharof National 
Wildlife Refuge Complex

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.

ACTION: Proposed rule; reopening of comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On July 17, 1995, the Service published a proposed rule in the 
Federal Register (60 FR 36576), establishing Fish and Wildlife Service 
regulations and implementing portions of the ``Alaska Peninsula/
Becharof National Wildlife Refuge Complex Public Use Management Plan.'' 
The comment period on that rulemaking closed on September 15, 1995. 
This rule reopens the comments period for an additional 45 days to 
allow additional review and comment by interested groups and persons.

DATES: Comments and materials will be accepted until October 30, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be addressed to Regional Director, U.S. Fish 
and Wildlife Service, 1011 E. Tudor Road, Anchorage, AK 99503, Attn: 
Bob Stevens.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Ronald Hood, Refuge Manager, Alaska Peninsula/Becharof National 
Wildlife Refuge Complex; telephone: (907) 246-3339.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the July 17, 1995, issue of the Federal 
Register, 60 FR 36576, the Service published a proposed rulemaking that 
would allows the Service to manage public uses by adopting regulations 
addressing off-road vehicles, camping, and temporary facilities. The 
regulations will provide for continued public use of the refuge complex 
while protecting refuge resources and resolving conflicts. The Service 
proposed that the public comment period end on September 15, 1995. 
Local residents, potentially affected by these regulations are not 
available during that time to review the document and offer comments. 
The re-opening of the comment period allows the opportunity to conduct 
public meetings in the local communities at a time when the residents 
will be present. The comment period is therefore re-opened for an 
additional 45 days.

    Dated: September 29, 1995.
George T. Frampton, Jr.,
Assistant Secretary for Fish and Wildlife and Parks.
