incidental take permit (ITP;
#TE35022A–0) under the Endangered
Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act).
We request public comment on the
permit application and accompanying
proposed habitat conservation plan
(HCP), as well as on our preliminary
determination that the plan qualifies as
low-effect under the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). To
make this determination we used our
environmental action statement and
low-effect screening form, which are
also available for review.
DATES: To ensure consideration, please
send your written comments by March
24, 2011.
ADDRESSES: If you wish to review the
application and HCP, you may request
documents by e-mail, U.S. mail, or
phone (see below). These documents are
also available for public inspection by
appointment during normal business
hours at the office below. Send your
comments or requests by any one of the
following methods.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Section 9 of the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531
et seq.) and our implementing Federal
regulations in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR part 17
prohibit the ‘‘take’’ of fish or wildlife
species listed as endangered or
threatened. Take of listed fish or
wildlife is defined under the Act as ‘‘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). However,
under limited circumstances, we issue
permits to authorize incidental take—
i.e., take that is incidental to, and not
the purpose of, the carrying out of an
otherwise lawful activity.
Regulations governing incidental take
permits for threatened and endangered
species are at 50 CFR 17.32 and 17.22,

VerDate Mar<15>2010

16:51 Feb 18, 2011

Jkt 223001

respectively. The Act’s take prohibitions
do not apply to federally listed plants
on private lands unless such take would
violate State law. In addition to meeting
other criteria, an incidental take
permit’s proposed actions must not
jeopardize the existence of federally
listed fish, wildlife, or plants.
Applicant’s Proposal
The applicant is requesting take of
approximately 2.71 ac of occupied
Florida scrub-jay foraging and sheltering
habitat incidental to construction of a
commercial center, and seeks a 10-year
permit. The 131-ac project is located on
parcel #07–18–31–01–01–0010, within
Section 07, Township 31 South, Range
39 East, Volusia County, Florida. The
project includes construction of a
commercial center and the associated
infrastructure, and landscaping. The
applicant proposes to mitigate for the
take of the Florida scrub-jay through the
deposit of good funds in the amount of
$113,776.64 to the Nature
Conservancy’s Conservation Fund, for
the management and conservation of the
Florida scrub-jay based on Service
Mitigation Guidelines.
Our Preliminary Determination
We have determined that the
applicant’s proposal, including the
proposed mitigation and minimization
measures, would have minor or
negligible effects on the species covered
in the HCP. Therefore, we determined
that the ITP is a ‘‘low-effect’’ project and
qualifies for categorical exclusion under
the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA), as provided by the Department
of the Interior Manual (516 DM 2
Appendix 1 and 516 DM 6 Appendix 1).
A low-effect HCP is one involving (1)
Minor or negligible effects on federally
listed or candidate species and their
habitats, and (2) minor or negligible
effects on other environmental values or
resources.
Next Steps
We will evaluate the plan and
comments we receive to determine
whether the ITP application meets the
requirements of section 10(a) of the Act
(16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). If we determine
that the application meets these
requirements, we will issue ITP
#TE35022A–0. We will also evaluate
whether issuance of the section
10(a)(1)(B) ITP complies with section 7
of the Act by conducting an intraService section 7 consultation. We will
use the results of this consultation, in
combination with the above findings, in
our final analysis to determine whether
or not to issue the ITP. If the

requirements are met, we will issue the
permit to the applicant.

application, plan, and associated
documents, you may submit comments
