SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Section 9 of the Endangered Species
Act of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16
U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), and its
implementing regulations prohibit the
‘‘take’’ of animal species listed as
endangered or threatened. Take is
defined under the ESA as to ‘‘harass,
harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill,
trap, capture, or collect ‘‘listed animal
species’’, or to attempt to engage in such
conduct’’ (16 U.S.C. 1538). However,
under section 10(a) of the ESA, we may
issue permits to authorize incidental
take of listed species. ‘‘Incidental take’’
is defined by the ESA as take that is
incidental to, and not the purpose of,
carrying out an otherwise lawful
activity. Regulations governing
incidental take permits for endangered
and threatened species, respectively, are
found in the Code of Federal
Regulations at 50 CFR 17.22 and 50 CFR
17.32.

Applicant’s Proposed Project
The applicant requests a 25-year ITP
to take the federally endangered Indiana
bat (Myotis sodalis) and threatened
northern long-eared bat (Myotis
septentrionalis). The applicant
determined that unavoidable take is
reasonably certain to occur incidental to
operation of 40 previously constructed
wind turbines. The proposed
conservation strategy in the applicant’s
proposed HCP is designed to avoid,
minimize, and mitigate the impacts of
the covered activity on the covered
species. The biological goals and
objectives are to minimize potential take
of Indiana bats and northern long-eared
bats through onsite minimization
measures and to provide habitat
conservation measures for Indiana bats
and northern long-eared bats to offset
any unavoidable impacts from
operations of the project. The HCP
provides onsite avoidance and
minimization measures, which include
turbine operational adjustments. The
estimated level of take from the project
is 4 Indiana bats and 16 northern longeared bats over the 25-year project
duration. To offset the impacts of the
unavoidable taking of Indiana bats and
northern long-eared bats, the applicant
proposes to protect a high priority
winter hibernaculum by installing a
gate.

The issuance of an ITP is a Federal
action that triggers the need for
compliance with NEPA (42 U.S.C. 4321
et seq.). We prepared a draft EA that
analyzes the environmental impacts on
the human environment resulting from
three alternatives: A no-action
alternative, the proposed action, and an
alternative consisting of feathering
below the manufacturer’s cut-in wind
speed.
The Service will evaluate the
application and the comments received
to determine whether the permit
application meets the requirements of
section 10(a) of the ESA (16 U.S.C. 1531
et seq.). We will also conduct an intraService consultation pursuant to section
7 of the ESA to evaluate the effects of
the proposed take. After considering the
above findings, we will determine
whether the permit issuance criteria of
section 10(a)(l)(B) of the ESA have been
met. If met, the Service will issue the
requested ITP to the applicant.
Public Comments
The Service invites the public to
comment on the proposed HCP and
draft EA during a 30-day public
comment period (see DATES). You may
submit comments by one of the methods
shown under ADDRESSES.
Public Availability of Comments
We will post on http://regulations.gov
all public comments and information
received electronically or via hardcopy.
All comments received, including
names and addresses, will become part
of the administrative record associated
with this action. Before including your
address, phone number, email address,
or other personal identifying
information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire
comment—including your personal
identifying information—may be made
publicly available at any time. While
you can request in your comment that
we withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so. All submissions from
organizations or businesses, and from
individuals identifying themselves as
representatives or officials of
organizations or businesses, will be
made available for public disclosure in
their entirety.

of institution of the review need not
reapply for such access. A separate
