Notice To Extend Public Comment Period on the Draft Document Entitled, ``Forming Management Bodies To Implement Legal Spring and Summer Migratory Bird Subsistence Hunting in Alaska''

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is requesting comments on a plan to establish management bodies for the development of a migratory bird subsistence program in Alaska. This action is the result of the 1997 amendments to the migratory bird treaties with Canada and Mexico ratified by the U.S. Senate on October 23, 1997. The amendment to the treaty with Canada requires that indigenous inhabitants of the State of Alaska will have a meaningful role in migratory bird conservation by participating on relevant management bodies. The plan which is available for public comment describes four models for organizing management bodies. This notice, the substance of which was printed as a notice on July 1, 1999 (FR 35674-35675), extends the comment period for an additional 29 days to allow further review and comment by interested groups and persons.
