ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:

Under the Endangered
Species Act (Act), we, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, announce the receipt
and availability of a proposed habitat
conservation plan (HCP) and
environmental assessment (EA) for take
of the Perdido Key beach mouse
incidental to construction of a multiunit condominium in Escambia County,
Florida. We invite public comments on
these documents.
DATES: We must receive any written
comments at our Regional Office (see
ADDRESSES) on or before October 3,
2014.
ADDRESSES: Documents are available for
public inspection by appointment
during normal business hours at the
Fish and Wildlife Service’s Regional
Office, 1875 Century Boulevard, Suite
200, Atlanta, GA 30345; or the Panama

David Dell, Regional HCP Coordinator
(see ADDRESSES), telephone: 404–679–
7313; or Ms. Kristi Yanchis, Field Office
Project Manager, at the Panama City
Field Office (see ADDRESSES), telephone:
850–769–0552.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We
announce the availability of the
proposed HCP, accompanying
incidental take permit (ITP) application,
and an environmental assessment (EA),
which analyze the take of the
endangered Perdido Key beach mouse
(Peromyscus polionotus trissyllepsis)
incidental to construction and
occupation of a condominium
development. The Applicant,
Millennium Group LLC, requests a 25year ITP under section 10(a)(1)(B) of the
Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), as

amended. The Applicant’s HCP
describes the mitigation and
minimization measures proposed to
address the impacts to the species.
We specifically request scientific or
technical information, views, and
opinions from the public via this notice
on our proposed Federal action,
including identification of any other
aspects of the human environment not
already identified in the EA pursuant to
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) regulations in the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) at 40 CFR
1506.6. Further, we specifically solicit
information regarding the adequacy of
the HCP per 50 CFR parts 13 and 17.
The EA assesses the likely
environmental impacts associated with
the implementation of the activities,
including the environmental
consequences of the no-action
alternative and the proposed action. The
proposed action alternative is issuance
of the ITP and implementation of the
HCP as submitted by the Applicant. The
HCP covers land clearing, construction,
and occupation of a 15-unit
condominium, which would
permanently alter 0.428 acre of the 1.21
acres owned by the Applicant.
Avoidance, minimization, and
mitigation measures include retention of
natural habitat on 0.782 acre of the
property, enhancement of natural
habitat with native vegetation plantings,
protection of portions of the natural
habitat via a conservation easement,
operational covenants to minimize
impacts, and endowment of off-site
habitat acquisition and management via
the existing Perdido Key Conservation
Fund.

Covered Area
Perdido Key, a barrier island 16.9
miles long, constitutes the entire
historic range of the Perdido Key beach
mouse. The area encompassed by the
HCP and ITP application is a 1.21-acre
Gulf front lot in Escambia County,
within the central portions of Perdido
Key.
Next Steps
We will evaluate the ITP application,
including the HCP and any comments
we receive, to determine whether the
application meets the requirements of
section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Act. We will
also evaluate whether issuance of a
section 10(a)(1)(B) ITP complies with
section 7 of the Act by conducting an
intra-Service 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 we
determine that the requirements are
met, we will issue the ITP for the
incidental take of Perdido Key beach
mouse.
Authority
We provide this notice under section
10 of the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Southern
California Edison Company (SCE) is
proposing a new high-voltage (220/500kV) transmission line extending 64
miles from SCE’s existing Coolwater
Generation Station Switchyard located
in Daggett, California, to SCE’s existing
Lugo Substation in Hesperia, California.
The proposed Coolwater to Lugo
Transmission Line Project (CLTP)
would traverse 16 miles of public lands
managed by the BLM, with the
remainder on private or other lands
within San Bernardino County.
Approximately 47 miles of the
transmission line would parallel or be
within existing overhead utility rightsof-way (ROWs) and designated
transmission corridors with the
remaining 17 miles requiring a plan
amendment to the CDCA plan to
designate a new transmission line
corridor. The proposed project also
includes new substation facilities to
support transmission line termination
and new telecommunication facilities
for a Special Protection System to
maintain transmission system
reliability. The new 500/220/115/12–kV
Desert View Substation, which will
initially be constructed as a switching
station, is southeast of Apple Valley,
California. The new
telecommunications lines would extend
from the Gale Substation to Pisgah
Substation and from the new Desert
View Substation to the Apple Valley
Substation, traversing 6 miles of BLMmanaged lands. The majority of the
telecommunications fiber optic cable
would be installed on existing poles.
The project would include installation

of 373 new single and double-circuit
220-kV and 500-kV transmission
structures, and removal of 168
structures associated with the existing
Lugo-Pisgah 220-kV transmission lines
No. 1 and No. 2; construction of 25
miles of new roads; upgrades to 17
miles of roads; temporary use and
construction areas; and 215 setup areas
for conductor pulling and splicing. This
project is needed to ensure that power
from the nearly completed 275–MW
Mojave Solar Project is delivered to
population centers in Southern
California. Additionally, the line is
designed with additional capacity to
facilitate the interconnection of future
renewable energy projects that are
expected to be developed in the region.
This document provides notice that
the BLM Barstow Field Office, Barstow,
California, intends to prepare a Draft
CDCA plan amendment with an
associated joint EIS/EIR with the
California Public Utilities Commission
for the CLTP; announces the beginning
of the scoping process; and seeks public
input on environmental issues and
planning criteria. The purpose of the
public scoping process is to determine
relevant issues that will influence the
scope of the environmental analysis,
including alternatives, and guide the
planning process. Preliminary issues for
the plan amendment area have been
identified by BLM personnel, Federal,
State, and local agencies, and other
stakeholders. The issues include: Air
quality and greenhouse gas emissions,
biological resources including special
status species, cultural resources,
geology and soils, hazards and
hazardous materials, hydrology and
water quality, land use, noise,
recreation, traffic, visual resources,
cumulative effects, and areas with high
potential for renewable energy
development. Impacts will be reviewed
and the BLM will identify opportunities
to apply mitigation strategies for on-site,
regional, and compensatory mitigation.
Mitigation may include regional
compensatory measures for raven
management and big horn sheep habitat,
and desert tortoise habitat acquisition.
You may submit comments on issues
and planning criteria in writing to the
BLM at any public scoping meeting, or
you may submit them to the BLM using
one of the methods listed in the
ADDRESSES section above. To be most
helpful, you should submit comments
by the close of the 30-day scoping
period or within 30 days after the last
public meeting, whichever is later.
A preliminary list of the potential
planning criteria that will be used to
help guide and define the scope of the
plan amendment includes:
