We, the
Fish and Wildlife Service (Service),
announce receipt of an application from
Palmetto Avon Park-HWY 17, LLC
(applicant) for an incidental take permit
(ITP) under the Endangered Species Act
of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C.
1531 et seq.). The applicant requests the
ITP to take the federally listed sand
skink (Neoseps reynoldsi) and bluetailed mole skink (Eumeces egregious
lividus) (skinks) incidental to the
construction of a commercial
development in Highlands County,
Florida. We request public comment on
the application, which includes the
applicant’s HCP, and on the Service’s
preliminary determination that this HCP
qualifies as ‘‘low-effect,’’ categorically
excluded under the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA; 42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.). To make this
determination, we used our
environmental action statement and
low-effect screening form, both of which
are also available for public review.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

VerDate Sep<11>2014

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Project
The applicant requests a 5-year ITP to
take skinks through the conversion of
approximately 0.9 acres of occupied
skink foraging and sheltering habitat
incidental to the construction of a
commercial development on a 1.35-acre
parcel in Section 6, Township 34S,
Range 29E in Highlands County,
Florida. The applicant proposes to
mitigate for take of the skinks by
purchasing credits equivalent to 1.80
acre of skink-occupied habitat from a
Service-approved conservation bank in
Highlands County. The Service would
require the applicant to purchase the
credits prior to engaging in any phase of
the project.
Public Availability of Comments
Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, be aware that your entire
comment, including your personal
identifying information, may be made
available to the public. While you may
request that we withhold your personal
identifying information, we cannot
guarantee that we will be able to do so.

Our Preliminary Determination
The Service has made a preliminary
determination that the applicant’s
project, including the construction of
stores, driveways, parking areas, a storm
water pond, and associated
infrastructure (e.g., electric, water, and
sewer lines) would individually and
cumulatively have a minor or negligible
effect on the skinks and the
environment. Therefore, we have
preliminarily concluded that the ITP for
this project would qualify for categorical
exclusion and the HCP would be low
effect under our NEPA regulations at 43
CFR 46.205 and 46.210. A low-effect
HCP is one that would result in (1)
minor or negligible effects on federally
listed, proposed, and candidate species
and their habitats; (2) minor or
negligible effects on other
environmental values or resources; and,
(3) impacts that, when considered
together with the impacts of other past,
present, and reasonable foreseeable
similarly situated projects, would not
result in significant cumulative effects
to environmental values or resources
over time.
Next Steps
The Service will evaluate the
application and the comments to
determine whether to issue the
requested permit. We will also conduct
an intra-Service consultation pursuant
to section 7 of the ESA to evaluate the
effects of the proposed take. After
considering the preceding matters, we
will determine whether the permit
issuance criteria of section 10(a)(1)(B) of
the ESA have been met. If met, the
Service will issue ITP number
TE82107D–0 to Palmetto Avon ParkHWY 17, LLC.
Authority
The Service provides this notice
under section 10(c) of the ESA (16
U.S.C. 1539(c)) and NEPA regulation 40
CFR 1506.6.
