SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service),
announce the availability of a record of
decision (ROD) for proposed issuance of
an Endangered Species Act (ESA)
section 10(a)(1)(B) permit for the Na Pua
Makani Wind Energy Project (project)
and habitat conservation plan (HCP).
The ROD documents the Service’s
decision to issue an incidental take
permit (ITP) to Na Pua Makani Power
Partners, LLC (applicant). As
summarized in the ROD, the Service has
selected Alternative 2a—the Modified
Proposed Action (described below),
which includes implementation of the

availability of the ROD, developed in
compliance with the agency decision-

making requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as
amended (NEPA), as well as the final
HCP as submitted by the applicant. All
alternatives have been described in
detail, evaluated, and analyzed in our
final EIS (FEIS) and supplemental EIS
(SEIS). Our notice of availability of the
FEIS and HCP was published in the
Federal Register on July 12, 2016 (81 FR
45174).
The Council of Environmental Quality
regulations require agencies to prepare
supplements to either draft or final EISs
if there are substantial changes in the
proposed action that are relevant to
environmental concerns or there are
significant new circumstances or
information relevant to environmental
concerns that bear on the proposed
action or its impacts; SEISs may also be
prepared if the lead agency determines
that the purpose of NEPA will be
furthered by doing so. After reviewing
comments received after issuance of the
Draft EIS (DEIS), the Service worked
with the applicant to develop a
modified action to address some of the
comments received. Accordingly, the
Service determined that publishing an
SEIS and providing an additional
opportunity for public review on
Alternative 2a would further the
purposes of NEPA and the ESA. The
SEIS and HCP were noticed in the
Federal Register on November 17, 2016
(81 FR 81151).
Background
Na Pua Makani Power Partners
proposes to construct and operate the
project near the town of Kahuku in the
Koolauloa District of the City and
County of Honolulu on the Island of
Oahu, Hawaii. The project would
consist of up to 9 wind turbine
generators (WTGs) with a net generating
capacity of up to approximately 25
megawatts (MW), located within a
project site of approximately 707 acres.
The site includes portions of two
parcels leased from the Hawaii
Department of Land and Natural
Resources (DLNR), State-owned access
areas, and privately owned lands. The
site is located almost entirely within the
State agricultural land use district.
Na Pua Makani Power Partners
applied to the Service for an ITP under
ESA section 10(a)(1)(B). The ITP is for
a 21-year permit term and authorizes
take of the threatened Newell’s
shearwater (Puffinus newelli), and the
endangered Hawaiian stilt (Himantopus
mexicanus knudseni), Hawaiian coot
(Fulica americana alai), Hawaiian
moorhen (Gallinula chloropus
sandvicensis), Hawaiian duck (Anas
wyvilliana), Hawaiian goose (Branta
