Comprehensive management system grants: Fully address comprehensive management systems and incorporate the remaining features from Service Manual chapter 522 FW 4. (80)

2. Coordination grants: Address issue of contact and location information for all coordinators in a coordination grant. (80)
3. Multiyear funding: Consider modifying 50 CFR 80.67 to state that multiyear funding may be used for any allowable, eligible, and substantial project, whether grant-by-grant or CMS.

4.

8. Electronic signatures: The WSFR Audits Branch recommends that we clarify in regulation what constitutes an electronic signature. (75)
