SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
A Candidate Conservation Agreement
with Assurances is an agreement with
the Service in which private and other
non-Federal landowners voluntarily
agree to undertake management
activities and conservation efforts on
their properties to enhance, restore, or
maintain habitat to benefit species that
are proposed for listing under the Act,
that are candidates for listing, or that
may become candidates. The Service
and several State, Federal, and local
partners developed the Umbrella CCAA
(available at http://www.fws.gov/
wyominges) to provide Wyoming
ranchers with the opportunity to
voluntarily conserve greater sage-grouse
and its habitat while carrying out their
ranching activities. The Umbrella CCAA
was made available for public review
and comment on February 7, 2013 (see
78 FR 9066), and was executed by the
Service on November 8, 2013.
Pursuant to the Umbrella CCAA,
ranchers in Wyoming may apply for an
EOS permit under the Act by agreeing
to implement certain conservation
measures for the greater sage-grouse on
their properties. These conservation
measures are specified in individual
CCAAs for their properties, which are
developed in accordance with the
Umbrella CCAA and are subject to the
terms and conditions stated in that
agreement. Landowners consult with
the Service and other participating
agencies to develop an individual CCAA
for their property, and submit it to the
Service for approval with their EOS
permit application. If we approve the
individual CCAA and EOS permit
application, we will issue an EOS
permit, under section 10(a)(1)(A) of the
Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), that
authorizes incidental take of greater
sage-grouse that results from activities

covered by the individual CCAA,
should the species become listed.
Through the Umbrella CCAA and the
individual CCAA and EOS permit, we
also provide assurances to participating
landowners that, if the greater sagegrouse is listed, and so long as they are
properly implementing their individual
CCAA, we will not require any
conservation measures with respect to
greater sage-grouse in addition to those
provided in the individual CCAA or
impose additional land, water, or
financial commitments or restrictions
on land, water, or resource use in
connection with the species. The EOS
permit would become effective on the
effective date of listing of the greater
sage-grouse as endangered or
threatened, and would continue through
the end of the individual CCAA’s 20year term. Regulatory requirements and
issuance criteria for EOS permits
through a CCAA are found in 50 CFR
17.22(d) and 17.32(d), as well as 50 CFR
part 13.
Applications Available for Review and
Comment
We invite local, State, and Federal
agencies and the public to comment on
the following EOS permit applications.
The Umbrella CCAA, as well as the
individual CCAAs submitted with the
permit applications, are also available
for review, subject to the requirements
of the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) and
Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C.
552). The following applicants request
approval of EOS permits for the greater
sage-grouse, pursuant to the Umbrella
CCAA, for the purpose of enhancing the
species’ survival.
