scrub-jay habitat. The Applicant has
agreed to follow all other existing
habitat conservation plan (HCP)
conditions. If amended, no additional
take will be authorized.

Residential construction will take
place on six parcels in the vicinity of
latitude 27.013 and longitude ¥82.015
in Punta Gorda Isles, Punta Gorda,
Charlotte County, Florida. These parcels
are within scrub-jay occupied habitat.
The parcels encompass about 3.2 acres,
and the footprint of the structure,
infrastructure, and landscaping
precludes retention of scrub-jay habitat
on these parcels. More details on the
specific parcel locations are available in
the HCP (see ADDRESSES). The original
permits became effective on February
28, 2007. Opportunity for public review
of the original applications was
provided in 71 FR 65125 (November 7,
2006).
The Service has made preliminary
determinations that amendment of the
permits is neither a major Federal action
that will significantly affect the quality
of the human environment within the
meaning of section 102(2)(C) of the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA), nor will they individually or
cumulatively have more than a
negligible effect on the species covered
in the HCP. Therefore, the permit
amendment qualifies as a categorical
exclusion under NEPA as provided by
the Department of Interior Manual (516
DM 2, Appendix 1 and 516 DM 8.5).
Authority: We provide this notice pursuant
to Section 10 of the Endangered Species Act
(16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and NEPA
regulations (40 CFR 1506.6).
Dated: January 16, 2009.
