Public Involvement
The draft EIS began as a joint
document between the Service and The
State of Hawaii’s Department of Land
and Natural Resources (DLNR). Due to
differences in procedural requirements,
the environmental process diverged
after the draft EIS was published and
the project incorporated the modified
proposed action alternative.
In May of 2013, the applicant began
holding community meetings, small
focus group meetings with stakeholders,
and individual meetings with
community leaders and legislators to
discuss the proposed project and engage
the public in the project’s planning and
design.
On November 5, 2013, the Service
published a notice of intent (NOI) to
prepare a draft EIS in the Federal
Register (78 FR 66377). The NOI also
announced a public scoping period
(November 5 to December 5, 2013),
during which we invited interested
parties to provide written comments
related to the proposal. A public
scoping meeting was held in Kahuku,
Hawaii, on November 13, 2013, in
accordance with NEPA (40 CFR 1501.7).
Utilizing public scoping comments,
we prepared a draft EIS to analyze the
effects of project alternatives on the
human environment. The Service
published a notice of availability (NOA)
of the draft EIS in the Federal Register
on June 12, 2015 (80 FR 33535), opening
a 60-day public comment period. The
Service also posted the Federal Register
NOA, Notice of Public Scoping Meeting,
draft HCP, draft EIS, and a news release
on their Web site at http://www.fws.gov/
pacificislands/. A public open-house
meeting was held on June 23, 2015, in
Kahuku, Hawaii, to solicit additional
input from the public on the draft EIS
and draft HCP. A total of 90 comment
letters and emails were received from
the public. The official comment period
ended on August 11, 2015. The NOA of
the final EIS and final HCP was
published in the Federal Register by the
Service on July 12, 2016 (81 FR 45174–
45176), initiating a 30-day waiting
period.
The State of Hawaii’s environmental
impact statement preparation notice
(EISPN) was distributed to interested
parties for review between December 23,
2013, and January 23, 2014, and again
between November 8 and December 8,
2014 (republished to reflect the addition
of a second access into the project site).
During the initial public scoping period
for the EISPN, three public scoping
meetings were held at Kahuku

Community Center: On November 13,
2013, January 10, 2014, and November
19, 2014. In addition to the public
meetings, a media advisory was sent out
prior to each meeting. DLNR hosted a
public hearing at the Kahuku
Community Center on June 4, 2015. The
draft EIS was published in the State of
Hawaii Office of Environmental Quality
Control’s The Environmental Notice on
June 8, 2015, in accordance with
requirements set forth under the Hawaii
Environmental Policy Act (HRS § 343–
3). Public comments were accepted
during the 45-day State public comment
period. On April 23, 2016, DLNR
published a second draft EIS with an
additional 45-day State public comment
period to address the modified proposed
action option. The Board of Land and
Natural Resources published acceptance
of the final EIS in The Environmental
Notice on August 8, 2016, which
initiated a 60-day legal challenge period
that ended on October 8, 2016.
Next Steps
We will evaluate the permit
application, associated documents, and
public comments in reaching a final
decision on whether the application
meets the requirements of section 10(a)
of the ESA (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). We
will evaluate whether the proposed
permit action would comply with
section 7 of the ESA by conducting an
intra-Service section 7 consultation on
the proposed permit action. 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 an incidental take permit.
If the requirements are met, we will
issue the permit to the applicant. We
will issue a Record of Decision and
issue or deny the permit no sooner than
30 days after publication of the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency’s
notice of availability of the SEIS.
Authority
We provide this notice in accordance
with the requirements of section 10(c) of
the ESA and its implementing
regulations (50 CFR 17.22 and 17.32),
and NEPA and its implementing
regulations (40 CFR 1506.6).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

I. Abstract
The Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16
U.S.C. 703 et seq.) prohibits the
unauthorized take of migratory birds
and authorizes the Secretary of the
Interior to regulate take of migratory
birds in the United States. Under this
authority, we control the hunting of
migratory game birds through
regulations in 50 CFR part 20. On
January 1, 1991, we banned the use of
lead shot for hunting waterfowl and
coots in the United States.
The regulations at 50 CFR 20.134
outline the application and approval
processes for new types of nontoxic
shot. When considering approval of a
candidate material as nontoxic, we must
ensure that it is not hazardous in the

environment and that secondary
exposure (ingestion of spent shot or its
components) is not a hazard to
migratory birds. To make that decision,
we require each applicant to provide
information about the solubility and
toxicity of the candidate material.
Additionally, for law enforcement
purposes, a noninvasive field detection
device must be available to distinguish
candidate shot from lead shot. This
information constitutes the bulk of an
application for approval of nontoxic
shot. The Director of the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service uses the data in the
application to decide whether or not to
approve a material as nontoxic.

We invite comments concerning this
information collection on:
• Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary, including
whether or not the information will
have practical utility;
• The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information;
• Ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or
summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this IC. Before
including your address, phone number,
email address, or other personal
identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
