Expiration Date: 11/30/2009.
Type of Request: Renewal, with

Cape Hatteras National Seashore
(CAHA). The current request for a
renewal is to continue the visitor
survey. The survey gathers information
that will be used in the planning and
rulemaking processes for CAHA’s OffRoad Vehicle (ORV) Management Plan/
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
and ORV regulation. The continuation
of the visitor survey with the current
renewal request will allow the NPS to
have a seasonally representative sample

visitors and visitor preferences for park
management and for the final economic
analysis.
Automated data collection: No
automated data collection will be used.
Information will be collected via on-site
surveys.

Recipient Allocation Amounts for Fiscal
Years 2009 and 2010.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

SUMMARY: The MMS is issuing this
notice to advise the public of the
availability of the individual allocation
amounts available to each of the 73
eligible recipients of the CIAP. The
amounts are an important piece of
information to be used by the States and
Coastal Political Subdivisions (CPSs) in
the completion of CIAP grant
applications.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Energy Policy Act of 2005 (Act) created
CIAP by amending Section 31 of the
Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Lands
Act (43 U.S.C. 1356(a)). Under the
provisions of the Act, the authority and
responsibility for the management of
CIAP is vested in the Secretary of the
Interior (Secretary). The Secretary has
delegated this authority and
responsibility to MMS. In the February
16, 2007, continuing resolution,
Congress approved a 3 percent
appropriation of the CIAP funds to be
used by MMS to administer the
program. Under Section 384 of the Act,
MMS shall disburse $250 million for
each fiscal year 2007 through 2010 to
eligible producing States and CPSs.
Each eligible State is allocated its share
based on the qualified OCS revenues
generated off of its coast in proportion
to the total qualified OCS revenues
generated off the coast of all eligible
States. In order to receive CIAP funds,
States are required to submit a coastal
impact assistance plan (Plan) that MMS
must approve prior to disbursing any
funds. All funds shall be disbursed
through a grant process. The guidance
has been developed by MMS to provide

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of intent to undertake
scoping for an environmental document
(Environmental Assessment or
Environmental Impact Statement)
related to a habitat conservation plan for
the proposed Beacon Solar Energy
Project.
SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (Service), advise the
public that we intend to conduct public
scoping under the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA) to gather information necessary
to help develop a NEPA document in
connection with a proposed Habitat
Conservation Plan (HCP) for the Beacon
Solar Energy Project (Beacon HCP),
currently under development by Beacon
Solar LLC (the applicant). To be
implemented near California City, in
Kern County, California, the proposed
Beacon HCP forms part of an incidental
take permit application under the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (Act). The requested permit
term is 45 years. We provide this notice
to obtain suggestions, comments, and
useful information from other agencies
and the public on the scope of the
document, including the significant
issues deserving of study, the range of
alternatives, and the range of impacts to
be considered.
DATES: We must receive any written
comments on or before July 17, 2009.
ADDRESSES: Written Submissions: Please
address written information, comments,
or questions related to the preparation
of the EA or EIS to Diane Noda, Field

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
We intend to scope under NEPA (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) to gather
information necessary to help develop a
NEPA document in connection with our
proposed action or reaching a permit
decision on the Beacon Solar Energy
Project’s proposed HCP. The HCP forms
part of an incidental take permit
application under the Act (16 U.S.C.
1531 et seq.). We provide this notice to
obtain suggestions and information on
the scope of issues and alternatives to be
considered in the NEPA document. An
EA is prepared for Federal actions that
will have a less than significant effect
on all resources impacted in the human
environment, or to determine whether
an EIS should be prepared. An EIS is
prepared for Federal actions that will
have a significant impact on one or
more resources in the human
environment. We will determine if an
EA or an EIS will be prepared based on
the public comments received and the
complexity of issues identified during
the scoping phase of the NEPA process.
Section 9 of the Act and Federal
regulations prohibit the ‘‘take’’ of fish
and wildlife species listed as
endangered or threatened. Take of
federally listed fish or wildlife is
defined under the Act to include the
following activities: To harass, harm,
pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap,
capture, or collect, or to attempt to
engage in any such conduct (16 U.S.C.
1532). ‘‘Harm’’ in the definition of take
includes significant habitat modification
or degradation that kills or injures listed
wildlife by significantly impairing
essential behavioral patterns, including
breeding, feeding, or sheltering (50 CFR
17.3(c)). Under section 10(a) of the Act,
we may issue permits to authorize
‘‘incidental take’’ of listed species. Any
proposed incidental take must be
incidental to otherwise lawful activities,
not appreciably reduce the likelihood of
the survival and recovery of the species
in the wild, and minimize and mitigate
the impacts of such take to the
maximum extent practicable. In
addition, the applicant must prepare a
HCP describing the impact that will
likely result from such taking, the
strategy for minimizing and mitigating
the incidental take, the funding
available to implement such steps,
