listed sand skink (Neoseps reynoldsi)
incidental to the construction of a
residential development (project) in
Lake 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.
Project
The applicant requests a 5-year ITP to
take sand skinks through the conversion
of approximately 1.7 acres (ac) of
occupied sand skink foraging and
sheltering habitat incidental to the
construction of a residential
development located on a 34.0-ac parcel
in Sections 2, 3, and 11, Township 19
South, Range 25 East, Lake County,
Florida, identified by Parcel ID number
02–19–25–0003–000–05100. The
applicant proposes to mitigate for take
of the sand skinks by the purchase of 3.4
credits from Lake Wales Ridge
Conservation Bank or another Serviceapproved conservation bank. The
Service would require the applicant to
purchase the credits prior to engaging in
activities associated with the project on
the parcel.

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 land clearing,
infrastructure building, residence
construction, landscaping, construction,
other ground disturbance and site
preparation activities and the proposed
mitigation measures—would
individually and cumulatively have a
minor or negligible effect on the sand
skink and the environment. Therefore,
we have preliminarily concluded that
the ITP for this project would qualify for
categorical exclusion and that the HCP
is 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 and other
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
PER0028774 to Troon Creek 2, LLC.
Authority
The Service provides this notice
under section 10(c) of the ESA (16
U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and its
implementing regulations (50 CFR
17.32) and NEPA (42 U.S.C. 4321 et
seq.) and its implementing regulations
(40 CFR 1506.6 and 43 CFR 46.305).

assess the impact of our information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. It also
helps the public understand our
information collection requirements and
provide the requested data in the

comments on this collection of
information was published on March
31, 2022 (FR Vol. 87, No. 62, 18810). No
comments were received.
As part of our continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we are again soliciting
comments from the public and other
Federal agencies on the proposed ICR

especially interested in public comment
addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether or not the
information will have practical utility;

Abstract: Research and monitoring
findings are essential to fulfilling the
USGS’s responsibility under the
Earthquake Hazards Reduction Act to
develop earthquake hazard assessments
and to record earthquake activity
nationwide. Residents, emergency
responders, engineers, and the general
public rely on the USGS for this
accurate and scientifically sound
information. The USGS Earthquake
Hazards Program funds external
investigators to carry out these
important activities. In response to our
Program Announcements, investigators
submit proposals for research and
monitoring activities on earthquake
hazard assessments, earthquake causes
and effects, and earthquake monitoring.
This information is used as the basis for
selection and award of projects meeting
the USGS Earthquake Hazards
Program’s objectives. Final Reports of
research and monitoring findings are
required for each funded proposal;
annual progress reports are required for
awards of a two- to five-year duration.
Final Reports are made available to the
general public at the website: https://
www.usgs.gov/programs/earthquakehazards/science/external-grantsoverview.
Title of Collection: Earthquake
Hazards Program Research and
Monitoring.
OMB Control Number: 1028–0051.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
