Trinity River Adaptive Management Working Group; Public Meeting, Teleconference, and Web-Based Meeting, 61242-61243 [2016-21289]

Download as PDF 61242 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 172 / Tuesday, September 6, 2016 / Notices mstockstill on DSK3G9T082PROD with NOTICES measures, monitoring, and reporting requirements identified in the HCP. In the proposed HCP, the applicant considers two alternatives to the proposed action: ‘‘No Action’’ and ‘‘Redesigned Project.’’ Under the ‘‘No Action’’ alternative, an ITP for the multi-use facility would not be issued. The multi-use facility would not be built, and the enhancement of habitat on site or the purchase of conservation credits would not be provided to effect recovery actions for Mount Hermon June beetle. Additionally, State of California Title 15 and Title 24 standards for recreation and physical activity space for juvenile facilities would not be met. Because of State requirements and because the proposed action results in a net benefit for the covered species, the No Action Alternative has been rejected. Under the ‘‘Redesigned Project’’ alternative, the project would be redesigned to take place within existing impervious surfaces, avoiding impacts to suitable habitat for the species. The Redesigned Project would not meet State of California Title 15 and Title 24 standards and would not contribute to the long-term recovery of the species through enhancement of habitat or the purchase of conservation credits. As such, the ‘‘Project Redesign’’ alternative has also been rejected. Our Preliminary Determination We are requesting comments on our preliminary determination that the applicant’s proposal will have a minor or negligible effect on the Mount Hermon June beetle and that the plan qualifies as a low-effect HCP as defined by our Habitat Conservation Planning Handbook (November 1996). We base our determinations on three criteria: (1) Implementation of the proposed project as described in the HCP would result in minor or negligible effects on federally listed, proposed, and/or candidate species and their habitats; (2) implementation of the HCP would result in minor or negligible effects on other environmental values or resources; and (3) HCP impacts, considered together with those of other past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future projects, would not result in cumulatively significant effects. In our analysis of these criteria, we have made a preliminary determination that the approval of the HCP and issuance of an ITP qualify for categorical exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), as provided by the Department of the Interior implementing regulations in part 46 of title 43 of the Code of Federal Regulations (43 CFR 46.205, 46.210, and VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:04 Sep 02, 2016 Jkt 238001 46.215). However, based upon our review of public comments that we receive in response to this notice, this preliminary determination may be revised. Next Steps We will evaluate the permit application, including the plan and comments we receive, to determine whether the application meets the requirements of section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Act. We will also evaluate whether issuance of the ITP would comply with section 7(a)(2) of the Act by conducting an intra-Service Section 7 consultation. We provide this notice under section 10(c) of the Act and the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended (NEPA), NEPA’s public involvement regulations (40 CFR 1500.1(b), 1500.2(d), and 1506.6). We are requesting comments on our determination that the applicants’ proposal will have a minor or neglible effect on the Mount Hermon June beetle and that the plan qualifies as a loweffect HCP as defined by our 1996 Habitat Conservation Planning Handbook. We will evaluate the permit application, including the plan and comments, we receive, to determine whether the application meets the requirements of section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Act. We will use the results of our internal Service consultation, in combination with the above findings, in our final analysis to determine whether to issue the permits. If the requirements are met, we will issue an ITP to the applicant for the incidental take of Mount Hermon June beetle. We will make the final permit decision no sooner than 30 days after the date of this notice. Public Comments If you wish to comment on the permit applications, plans, and associated documents, you may submit comments by any one of the methods in ADDRESSES. Public Availability of Comments 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 ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public view, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. Frm 00062 Fmt 4703 We provide this notice under section 10 of the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and NEPA regulations (40 CFR 1506.6). Dated: August 26, 2016. Stephen P.

This action will limit overnight use of the King Range Wilderness for the first time. Day use entries will not be limited.
