ACTION: Notice of intent. AGENCY: SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321, et seq.), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service or ‘‘we’’) advises the public that we intend to gather information necessary to prepare, in coordination with the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) and the California Department of Parks and Recreation (CDPR), a joint Environmental Impact Statement/ Environmental Impact Report (EIS/EIR) on the proposed Habitat Conservation Plan for the San Luis Obispo Coast District and Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area (HCP). The proposed HCP is being prepared under section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 as amended, (ESA) (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). The incidental take permit is needed to authorize the incidental take of listed species as a result of implementing activities covered under the proposed HCP. We provide this notice to: (1) Describe the proposed action and possible alternatives; (2) advise other Federal and State agencies, affected Tribes, and the public of our intent to prepare an EIS/EIR; (3) announce the initiation of a 30-day public scoping period; and (4) obtain suggestions and information on the scope of issues and alternatives to be included in the EIS/EIR. DATES: Public meetings will be held on: Wednesday, February 23, 2005 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Written comments should be received on or before March 18, 2005.

Information, written comments, or questions related to the preparation of the EIS/EIR and the NEPA process should be submitted to Diane Noda, Field Supervisor, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Ventura Fish and Wildlife Office, 2493 Portola Road, Suite B, Ventura, California 93003; fw1sloparks@fws.gov; or FAX (805) 644– 3958.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ADDRESSES: Reasonable Accommodation Persons needing reasonable accommodations in order to attend and participate in the public meeting should contact Max Mora (see ADDRESSES) at (805) 644–1766 as soon as possible. In order to allow sufficient time to process requests, please call no later than one week before the public meeting. Information regarding this proposed action is available in alternative formats upon request. Background Section 9 of the ESA and Federal regulations prohibit the ‘‘take’’ of a fish or wildlife species listed as endangered or threatened. Under the ESA, the following activities are defined as take: harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture or collect listed animal species, or attempt to engage in such conduct (16 U.S.C. 1538). However, under section 10(a) of the ESA, we may issue permits to authorize ‘‘incidental take’’ of listed species. Incidental take is defined by the ESA as take that is incidental to, and not the purpose of, carrying out an otherwise lawful activity. Regulations governing permits for threatened and endangered species are at 50 CFR 13 and 50 CFR 17. Take of listed plant species is not prohibited under the ESA and cannot be authorized under an ESA section 10 permit. We propose to include plant species on the permit in recognition of the conservation benefits provided for them under the HCP. All species included on the permit would receive assurances under the Service’s ‘‘No Surprises’’ regulation, if at the time of issuance of the incidental take permit the ‘‘No Surprises’’ regulation is in effect (63 FR 8859). CDPR intends to request a permit authorizing the incidental take of 4 animal species for approximately 15 E:\FR\FM\16FEN1.SGM 16FEN1
