DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
Fish and Wildlife Service
Notice of Availability of an
Environmental Assessment/Habitat
Conservation Plan for a Portion of the
Cibolo Canyon Property (Master Phase
II), Bexar County, TX
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of availability and 60-day
public comment period.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Applicant, Lumberman’s
Investment Corporation (LIC), has
applied for an incidental take permit
(TE–102437–0) pursuant to Section
10(a) of the Endangered Species Act of
E:\FR\FM\02MYN1.SGM
02MYN1
22682
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 83 / Monday, May 2, 2005 / Notices
1973, as amended (Act). The requested
permit would authorize incidental take
of the endangered golden-cheeked
warbler. The proposed take would occur
as a result of the construction and
operation of a mixed-use community,
including hotel-resort, golf, commercial,
and residential development in the City
of San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas.
DATES: To ensure consideration, written
comments must be received on or before
July 1, 2005.
ADDRESSES: Persons wishing to review
the application may obtain a copy by
writing to the Regional Director, U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service, P.O. Box
1306, Room 4102, Albuquerque, New
Mexico 87103. Persons wishing to
review the EA/HCP may obtain a copy
by written or telephone request to Dawn
Whitehead, U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, Ecological Services Office,
10711 Burnet Road, Suite 200, Austin,
Texas 78758 (512/490–0057).
Documents will be available for public
inspection by written request or by
appointment only during normal
business hours (8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) at
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
Office, Ecological Services Office, 10711
Burnet Road, Suite 200, Austin, Texas
78758. Data or comments concerning
the application and EA/HCP should be
submitted in writing to the Field
Supervisor, U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service Office, Austin, Texas at the
above address. Please refer to permit
number TE–102437–0 when submitting
comments.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Dawn Whitehead, Ecological Services
Office, 10711 Burnet Road, Suite 200,
Austin, Texas 78758 (512/490–0057).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 9
of the Act prohibits the ‘‘taking’’ of
endangered species such as the goldencheeked warbler. However, the Service,
under limited circumstances, may issue
permits to take endangered wildlife
species incidental to, and not the
purpose of, otherwise lawful activities.
Regulations governing permits for
endangered species are at 50 CFR 17.22.
The Service has prepared the
Environmental Assessment/Habitat
Conservation Plan (EA/HCP) for the
incidental take application. A
determination of jeopardy to the species
or a Finding of No Significant Impact
will not be made until at least 60 days
from the date of publication of this
notice. This notice is provided pursuant
to section 10(c) of the Act and National
Environmental Policy Act regulations
(40 CFR 1506.6).
Applicants: As part of the preferred
alternative, LIC has developed an HCP
that specifies what steps the Applicant
VerDate jul<14>2003
19:05 Apr 29, 2005
Jkt 205001
will take to avoid, minimize, and
mitigate the potential impacts to the
golden-cheeked warbler associated with
development, construction, and
occupation of the Master Phase II, Bexar
County, Texas, to the greatest extent
practicable.
The preferred alternative is the
issuance of a permit under section
10(a)(1)(B) of the Act to authorize the
potential incidental take of the goldencheeked warbler within the 1,609 acre
permit area. The requested term of the
permit is 30 years. Mitigation efforts
under the proposed HCP would include,
among other things, the perpetual
dedication and management of
approximately 760 acres (307.6
hectares) of the 1,609-acre permit area
as a preserve for the golden-cheeked
warbler. These 760 acres are considered
to be the highest quality warbler habitat
on the property. Much of this area is
adjacent to a 331 acre (134 hectares)
block of contiguous warbler habitat that
has been preserved in perpetuity for the
golden-cheeked warbler under a
separate consultation with the Service.
The proposed preserve system is also
adjacent to an even larger block of
privately-owned potential warbler
habitat to the east, most of which is
considered relatively un-developable
due to topographic and other
constraints.
Three other alternatives to this action
were rejected because the
environmental impacts would be greater
than, or similar to, the proposed action,
but would not provide as great a
conservation benefit as the proposed
action, and/or were not economically
viable.
Background: LIC owns approximately
2,855 acres (1160 hectares) of property
proposed for a mixed-use community
that includes hotel-resort, golf,
commercial, and residential
development. The property is bordered
to the south by Evans Road and to the
west by Bulverde Road in the City of
San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas. The
2,855 acres is comprised of three
separately purchased tracts: the Evans
Road Tract (1,812 acres (733.3 hectares)
acquired in 1986); the Wolverton Tract
(785 acres (317.7 hectares) acquired in
2000); and the nearby, but not
contiguous, North Triangle Tract (258
acres (104.4 hectares) acquired in 2001).
The combination of these three tracts is
now called the Cibolo Canyon Property.
The Cibolo Canyon Property was
divided into two development phases:
Master Phase I and Master Phase II.
Master Phase I is located in the southern
and western sections of the Cibolo
Canyon Property and totals
approximately 1,230 acres (497.8
PO 00000
Frm 00056
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
hectares). Based upon available
information, LIC determined there
would be no impacts to threatened or
endangered species that would occur as
a result of developing Master Phase I
and therefore elected not to pursue
additional coverage under the
Endangered Species Act. Master Phase II
is located in the northern and eastern
section of the Cibolo Canyon Property
and totals approximately 1,609 acres
(651 hectares). The requested section
10(a)(1)(B) permit will cover impacts to
the Golden-cheeked Warbler associated
with Master Phase II only.

Migratory Bird Permits; Allowed Take
of Nestling American Peregrine
Falcons
Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: We (the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service) have updated
information on nesting of American
peregrine falcons (Falco peregrinus
anatum) in the western United States
and have determined the allowed take
of nestlings in 12 western states in 2005.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Brian Millsap, Chief, Division of
Migratory Bird Management, U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service, 703–358–1714, or
Dr. George T. Allen, Wildlife Biologist,
(703) 358–1825.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 2004,
we completed a Final Revised
Environmental Assessment (FEA)
considering the take of nestling
American peregrine falcons in 12 states
in the western United States. Since
completion of the FEA, we have
consulted with the states in which take
of nestlings is allowed, and have
considered recent information on the
numbers of nesting American peregrine
falcon populations and production of
young American peregrine falcons in
those states, as outlined in the
‘‘Management of Falconry Take’’ section
of the FEA. Having considered the most
recent data available to us, we have
updated the population information
from the FEA. For states with no new
statewide survey data, we assumed no
population growth since the last survey.
