SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Wildlife Refuge System 
Administration Act of 1966, as amended by the Refuge Improvement Act of 
1997 (16 U.S.C. 668dd et seq.), requires each refuge to develop and 
implement a CCP. We published a notice in the Federal Register on 
December 22, 2008 (73 FR 78386), announcing the availability of the 
Draft Revised comprehensive conservation plan and environmental 
assessment for Farallon National Wildlife Refuge. The document 
identified a review period ending on February 20, 2009. Subsequent to 
the release of the draft CCP, we have received several requests to 
extend the comment period. With this notice, we announce our decision 
to reopen the comment period until April 13, 2009, to ensure the public 
has sufficient time to review the document.
