SUMMARY: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service or we) announces 
the rescheduling of two of the public meetings associated with the 
comment period for a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) on 
double-crested cormorant management. The DEIS has been prepared under 
the authority of the National Environmental Policy Act and the 
Migratory Bird Treaty Act and analyzes the potential environmental 
impacts of several management alternatives to address conflicts 
associated with double-crested cormorants. This notice identifies the 
locations, dates, and times of public meetings and identifies the 
Service official to whom comments may be directed.

DATES: Written comments regarding the DEIS should be submitted by 
February 28, 2002, to the address below. Dates and times for ten public 
meetings are listed in the table under SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.

ADDRESSES: Requests for copies of the DEIS should be mailed to Chief, 
Division of Migratory Bird Management, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 
4401 N. Fairfax Dr., Room 634, Arlington, VA 22203. Written comments on 
the DEIS can be sent by the following two methods:
    (1) By mail to the above address; or
    (2) by email to: [email protected].
    Please include your name and mailing address in all comments 
submitted; anonymous comments will not be considered. The public 
meetings will be held at the locations listed in the table under 
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 19, 2001, we published a notice 
of meetings in the Federal Register announcing ten public meetings 
associated with the comment period for a DEIS on double-crested 
cormorant management. Because of a conflict with the previously-
scheduled meeting dates and the World Aquaculture Association annual 
meeting, we are rescheduling the Little Rock, Arkansas, and Jackson, 
Mississippi, meetings. These are listed in the table below.
