Title: 2008 to 2009 Refuge-Specific Hunting and Sport Fishing Regulations (Additions)  
Abstract: We propose to open additional national wildlife refuges to hunting and/or sport fishing and to provide refuge-specific regulations for those activities and to amend certain regulations on existing refuges in 50 CFR part 32. This is an annual update for the National Wildlife Refuge System that ensures adequate public notice of openings/changes. We operate hunting/fishing programs on refuges in furtherance of the implementation of the National Wildlife Refuge System Improvement Act of 1997 directives to facilitate compatible priority wildlife-dependent recreational opportunities.
