Proposed Site Plans Under a
Candidate Conservation Agreement
With Assurances for the Fisher in
Oregon; Enhancement of Survival
Permit Applications
Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of availability; request
for comments.
AGENCY:

We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (Service), have received
two enhancement of survival permit
(permit) applications pursuant to the
Endangered Species Act (ESA). If
granted, the requested permits would
authorize incidental take of the fisher,
should the species become federally
listed in the future under the ESA. The
permit applications are associated with
a template candidate conservation
agreement with assurances (CCAA)
previously developed by the Service for
the conservation of the fisher. The
conservation measures in the CCAA are
intended to provide a net conservation
benefit to the fisher. We have also
prepared draft environmental action
statements (EASs) pursuant to the
requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 for
each of these permit applications. We
are making the permit application
packages and draft EASs available for
public review and comment.
DATES: To ensure consideration, written
comments must be received from
interested parties no later than April 13,
2020.
ADDRESSES: To request further
information or submit written
comments, please use one of the
following methods: Note that your
information request or comments are in
reference to the ‘‘Campbell Fisher
CCAA’’ and indicate by name, which
permit application (see below) you are
interested in or addressing.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the
Service, have received two permit
applications from timber land owners in
Oregon pursuant to section 10(a)(l)(A) of
the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
The requested permits would authorize
incidental take of the fisher (Pekania
pennanti) caused by the applicants’
routine forest-related management
activities through June 20, 2047, or the
remaining duration of the CCAA, should
the fisher become federally listed in the
future under the ESA. Each permit
application includes a proposed
individual site plan prepared in
accordance with the template CCAA
previously developed by the Service for
the conservation of the fisher. We also
have prepared draft environmental
action statements (EASs) pursuant to the
requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA; 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) for each
of these permits.
Background
A CCAA is a voluntary agreement
whereby landowners agree to manage
their lands to remove or reduce threats
to species that may become listed under
the ESA (64 FR 32726; June 17, 1999).
CCAAs are intended to facilitate the
conservation of proposed and candidate
species, and species likely to become
candidates in the near future, by giving

PO 00000

Frm 00045

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

non-Federal property owners incentives
to implement conservation measures for
declining species by providing certainty
with regard to land, water, or resource
use restrictions that might be imposed
should the species later become listed as
threatened or endangered under the
ESA. In return for managing their lands
to the benefit of the covered species,
enrolled landowners receive assurances
that additional regulatory requirements
pertaining to the covered species will
not be required if the covered species
becomes listed as threatened or
endangered under the ESA, so long as
the CCAA remains in place and is being
fully implemented.
A CCAA serves as the basis for the
Service to issue permits to non-Federal
participants pursuant to section
10(a)(l)(A) of the ESA. Application
requirements and issuance criteria for
permits under CCAAs are found in the
Code of Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR
17.22(d) and 17.32(d). The Service
developed a template CCAA for the
West Coast distinct population segment
(DPS) of the fisher in Oregon and a draft
EAS for future issuance of permits
under the finalized template to comply
with NEPA. The template CCAA and the
EAS were noticed for comment in the
Federal Register (81 FR 15737; March
24, 2016). The template CCAA and EAS
were finalized and signed by the Service
on June 20, 2018.
The CCAA template established
general guidelines and identified
minimum conservation measures for
potential participants in the CCAA.
Interested participants can voluntarily
enroll their properties under the CCAA
through development of individual site
plans prepared in accordance with the
provisions of the CCAA and that are
submitted as part of their permit
applications. The permits would
authorize incidental take of the fisher
with assurances to qualifying
landowners who carry out conservation
measures that would benefit the West
Coast DPS of the fisher.
Proposed Actions
We have received applications for
ESA section 10(a)(l)(A) permits under
the template CCAA for the fisher from
the Pacific West Timber Company, LLC
and the Franklin-Clarkson Timber
Company (applicants) for their
identified lands in Oregon. They are
being represented by Campbell Global,
LLC, who will be principally
responsible for timber management on
these lands.
Each requested permit would
authorize incidental take of the fisher,
should it become federally listed and
affected by the applicant’s routine
