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 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,
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

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 241001

29093

other criteria, an incidental take
permit’s proposed actions must not
jeopardize the existence of federally
listed fish, wildlife, or plants.

our final analysis to determine whether
or not to issue the ITP. If the
requirements are met, we will issue the
permit to the applicants.

Applicants’ Proposal

Public Comments

Lakes at St. Sebastian Preserve

If you wish to comment on the permit
application, HCP, and associated
documents, you may submit comments
by any one of the methods in
ADDRESSES.

Atlantic Coast Paladin Estates, LLC
and Micco Road Investments, LLC c/o
the Kelsey Group are requesting take of
approximately 99.85 acres of nesting
and foraging habitat for the Audubon’s
crested caracara (Polyborus plancus
audubonii), incidental to the
construction of a residential
development, and together they seek a
10-year permit. The project is located on
98 separate parcels (Tax Account Nos.
3010967–3011065), located within
Section 01, Township 30 South, Range
38 East in Brevard County, Florida. The
applicants propose to mitigate for
impacts to the species by protecting 20
acres of Audubon’s crested caracara
habitat within the Allen Broussard
Conservancy. The applicants will also
provide a $10,000 management
endowment to ensure the continued
success of managing these lands for two
nesting pairs of Audubon’s crested
caracara.
Our Preliminary Determination
We have determined that the
applicants’ proposal, including the
proposed mitigation and minimization
measures, would have minor or
negligible effects on the species covered
in the HCP. Therefore, our proposed
issuance of the requested ITP qualifies
as a categorical exclusion under the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA), as provided by Department of
the Interior implementing regulations in
part 46 of title 43 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (43 CFR 46.205, 46.210, and
46.215). 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 HCP 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 number
TE24376C–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

I. Abstract
Some of the world’s most treasured
and exotic animals are dangerously
close to extinction. Destruction of
natural habitat, illegal poaching, and
pet-trade smuggling are devastating
populations of tigers, rhinos, marine
turtles, great apes, elephants, and many
other highly cherished species. The
Division of International Conservation
and Division of Scientific Authority
administer competitive grant programs
funded under the following authorities:
• African Elephant Conservation Act
(16 U.S.C. 4201–4245).
• Asian Elephant Conservation Act of
1997 (16 U.S.C. 4261).
• Great Apes Conservation Act of
2000 (Pub. L. 106–411).
• Rhinoceros and Tiger Conservation
Act of 1994 (16 U.S.C. 5306).
• Marine Turtle Conservation Act
(Pub. L. 108–266).

• Endangered Species Act (16 U.S.C.
1531 et seq.) (Wildlife Without Borders
Programs–Africa, Mexico, Latin
America and the Caribbean, Russia,
Critically Endangered Species,
Combatting Wildlife Trafficking, and
Amphibians in Decline).
Applicants submit proposals for
funding in response to Notices of
Funding Opportunity published by the
Service on Grants.gov. We collect the
following information:
• Project summary and narrative.
• Letter of appropriate government
endorsement.
• Brief curricula vitae for key project
personnel.
• Complete Standard Forms 424 and
424b (nondomestic applicants do not
submit the standard forms).
Proposals may also include, as
appropriate, a copy of the organization’s
Negotiated Indirect Cost Rate Agreement
(NICRA) and any additional
documentation supporting the proposed
project.
The project summary and narrative
are the basis for this information
collection. A panel of technical experts
reviews each proposal to assess how
well the project addresses the priorities
identified by each program’s authorizing
legislation and the associated project
costs. As all of the on-the-ground
projects are conducted outside the
United States, the letter of appropriate
government endorsement ensures that
the proposed activities will be
supportive of locally identified
priorities and needs. Brief curricula
vitae for key project personnel allow the

with its cognizant agency, we require all
organizations with a NICRA to submit
the agreement paperwork with their
proposals to verify how their rate is
applied in their proposed budget.
All assistance awards under these
grant programs have a maximum
reporting requirement of:
• An interim report (performance
report and a financial status report) as
appropriate, and
• A final report (performance and
financial status report and copies of all

Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden
Cost: The only foreseeable nonhour
burden cost to respondents would be a
small cost for making a telephone call

SUMMARY:

Jkt 241001

Interior’s intent to consider proposals
for non-Federal development of
hydroelectric power at the Spanish Fork
Flow Control Structure of the Central
Utah Project. The Notice presented
background information, proposal
content guidelines, information
concerning the selection of a nonFederal entity to develop hydroelectric
power at the Spanish Fork River Flow
Control Structure, and power
purchasing and/or marketing
considerations. The Notice also
established the deadline for a potential
lessee to enter into a lease with the
United States as 5 years after
notification of the selection of a
potential lessee.
On October 13, 2011, a joint proposal
from the Central Utah Water
Conservancy District, Strawberry Water
Users Association, and the South Valley
Electric Service District was received in
response to the Notice. The joint
proposal was reviewed by an evaluation
team comprised of specialists from the
Bureau of Reclamation, Western Area
Power Administration, and the
Bonneville Power Administration.
Based upon the recommendation from
the evaluation team, the joint proposal
was selected by the Department of the
Interior as the potential lessee for nonFederal power development at the
Spanish Fork Flow Control Structure.
The joint applicants were notified of
this decision by correspondence dated
March 9, 2012, and were given a
deadline of March 9, 2017, to enter into
a lease with the United States.
The deadline for entering into a lease
has now passed and a lease was not
negotiated and executed with the
Department of the Interior. As a result,
the Department of the Interior has
rescinded the selection of Central Utah
Water Conservancy District, Strawberry
Water Users Association, and the South
Valley Electric Service District as the
successful potential joint lessee and has
terminated this lease of power privilege
process for the Spanish Fork Flow
Control Structure.
Future non-Federal development of
hydroelectric power at the Spanish Fork
Flow Control Structure would be
considered upon request from interested
parties. However, no formal request for
proposals is being made by the
Department of the Interior at this time.
Dated: June 21, 2017.
