Early Scoping for an Anticipated
Application for Incidental Take Permit

Notice of initiation of scoping.
Pursuant to the Endangered
Species Act (ESA) and the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), we,
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(Service), announce our intent to
prepare a NEPA document for an
anticipated Incidental Take Permit (ITP)
application and associated draft habitat
conservation plan (HCP) from
Copenhagen Wind Farm, LLC for
construction and operation of a wind
energy facility on private lands that
provide potential habitat for the
northern long-eared bat and the
federally listed endangered Indiana bat.
The northern long-eared bat has recently
been proposed for listing as an
endangered species under the ESA.
Construction activities (e.g., tree
clearing) and operation of wind turbines
on these lands have the potential to
incidentally take Indiana bats and
northern long-eared bats. Therefore,
Copenhagen Wind Farm, LLC is
developing an ITP application and HCP
to address these activities.
In advance of receiving the ITP
application for this project, the Service
is providing this notice to request
information from other agencies, Tribes,
and the public on the scope of the NEPA
review and issues to consider in the
NEPA analysis and in development of
the HCP.
DATES: We will accept comments
received or postmarked on or before
May 28, 2015. Comments submitted
electronically using the Federal
eRulemaking Portal (see ADDRESSES)
must be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern
Time on the closing date.
ADDRESSES: You may submit written
comments by one of the following
methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We
announce our intent to prepare a NEPA
document for a pending ITP application
and associated draft HCP from
Copenhagen Wind Farm, LLC for
construction and operation of a wind
energy facility on approximately 11,250
acres of leased private lands in Lewis
and Jefferson Counties, New York. A
map depicting the proposed project on
the landscape can be viewed on the
Service’s New York Field Office Web
page, at https://www.fws.gov/northeast/
nyfo/es/ibat.htm. Dominated by active
agricultural fields, along with
substantial blocks of forested lands and
lesser amounts of successional and
disturbed communities, these lands
provide potential foraging, roosting,
maternity colony, and fall swarming
habitat for all or many bat species that
occur in the State of New York,
including the northern long-eared bat
(Myotis septentrionalis) and the
federally listed endangered Indiana bat
(Myotis sodalis). Both construction (e.g.,
tree clearing) and operation of wind
turbines have the potential to
incidentally take northern long-eared
