measures on their lands as described in
the CCAA. Incidental take authorized
under the permit would be in the form
of harassment, harm, and mortality
associated with conservation and
monitoring activities necessary to
implement the CCAA.
2. The CCAA complies with the
requirements of the CCAA policy.
Vermejo Park Ranch has developed the
CCAA and permit application pursuant
to the requirements in the implementing
regulations and the issuance criteria for
a permit. Conservation benefits for the
Rio Grande cutthroat trout from
implementation of the CCAA are
expected in the form of avoidance of
negative impacts; reduction of threats;
and conservation, enhancement, and
restoration of populations and habitat
intended to establish and maintain
viable populations of Rio Grande
cutthroat trout in Taos County, New
Mexico, and Costilla County, Colorado.
Also, this CCAA may be used as a
model for CCAAs in other parts of the
Rio Grande cutthroat trout’s range to
encourage cooperative management and
conservation.
3. The probable direct and indirect
effects of any authorized take will not
appreciably reduce the likelihood of the
survival and recovery in the wild of any
species. The Act’s legislative history
establishes the intent of Congress that
this issuance criteria be identical to a
regulatory finding of no ‘‘jeopardy’’
under section 7(a)(2) of the Act. As a
result, issuance of this section
10(a)(1)(A) permit was reviewed by the
Service according to provisions of
section 7 of the Act. In the Intra-Service
Section 7 Conference Opinion, the
Service concluded that issuance of a
permit will not jeopardize the continued
existence of the Rio Grande cutthroat
trout or any other species. The taking
associated with the implementation of
the CCAA will be incidental to efforts
associated conservation actions for Rio
Grande cutthroat trout in their historic
range and gathering important biological
information necessary to continue
conservation efforts for the species.
4. Implementation of the terms of the
CCAA is consistent with applicable
Federal, State, and Tribal laws and
regulations. The Service is unaware of
any law or regulation that would
prevent the implementation of the
CCAA and the accompanying permit.
The permit will include conditions that
revoke the take provisions of the permit
if any applicable State, Federal, or tribal
law or regulation is broken.
5. Implementation of the terms of the
CCAA will not be in conflict with any
ongoing conservation programs for
species covered by the permit. The

CCAA in New Mexico and Colorado for
the Rio Grande cutthroat trout furthers
ongoing conservation activities for the
species’ conservation and is essential in
developing additional conservation
agreements within the historic range of
the Rio Grande cutthroat trout. The
Service is a participant on the Rio
Grande Cutthroat Trout Conservation
Team, which is a consortium of agencies
that has been working together to
conserve, restore, and enhance Rio
Grande cutthroat populations
rangewide. This combined State,
Federal, Tribal, and private effort
should provide conservation incentives
and result in greater success in reducing
threats and stabilizing the status of Rio
Grande cutthroat trout.
6. The Applicant has shown
capability for and commitment to
implementing all of the terms of the
CCAA. Vermejo Park Ranch has shown
the ability to administer the CCAA and
work effectively with cooperators to
implement conservation commitments
in the CCAA. The funding for
implementation will come from several
sources and is already in place. Vermejo
Park Ranch will also have assistance
from the Service, New Mexico
Department of Game and Fish, and
Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife
in determining the conservation
priorities. Based on conservation
measures described in the CCAA, the
Service does not expect any
circumstances to occur that would
preclude Vermejo Park Ranch’s funding
and implementation of the CCAA.
Section 9 of the Act and its
implementing regulations prohibit the
‘‘taking’’ of threatened or endangered
species. However, under limited
circumstances, we may issue permits to
take listed wildlife species incidental to,
and not for the purpose of, otherwise
lawful activities.

and final EA will be available on the
Service’s New Mexico Ecological
Services Field Office Web site, http://
