Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 21 / Wednesday, February 1, 2006 / Notices
the western desert of Utah (Green et al.
1997). Genetic evidence (Green et al.
1997) indicates that CSFs may be a
single species with three subspecies, or
may be several weakly-differentiated
species. The Service currently
recognizes four populations based on
disjunct distribution: Northern, Great
Basin, Wasatch, and West Desert. CSFs
are believed to be abundant within the
Northern population of the species’
range from Alaska to Wyoming (Gomez
1994). The other three disjunct
populations (Great Basin, Wasatch, and
West Desert) received candidate status
in 1993 based on the loss of
subpopulations in a number of areas in
Nevada (58 FR 27260). At that time, the
Great Basin population was given a
listing priority of 9; in 2001 the priority
was raised to 3 (the highest listing rank
possible for a subspecies), based upon
the discovery of Chytridiomycosis in the
Owyhee subpopulation, declining
numbers, and the imminence of threats.
The CSF is known to occur in Owyhee
and Twin Falls counties, Idaho.
Columbia Spotted Frogs at Sam Noble
Springs are part of the Great Basin
Population of frogs, which is a
candidate for listing under the Act.
Threats to this population mainly
include impacts to, or loss of, habitat—
specifically, the loss of perennial
wetlands used for feeding, breeding,
hibernating, and migrating. Improperly
managed livestock grazing practices and
water use in areas where frogs occur
may contribute to habitat loss. The State
of Idaho has an opportunity at Sam
Noble Springs to address effects of
livestock grazing on CSF habitat while
continuing to meet their management
needs. By entering into the proposed
Agreement with the Service, the State of
Idaho would help ensure long-term
protection of a population of a species
that is a candidate for listing under the
Act, by significantly reducing the risk of
impacts to CSF habitat, while reducing
any long-term regulatory risk to their
ability to generate funds from those
lands if CSFs were listed and take
prohibitions limited their ability to lease
those lands for livestock grazing.
As a result of this conservation
opportunity and potential regulatory
concern, the State of Idaho developed
the proposed Candidate Conservation
Agreement with Assurances for the CSF
at Sam Noble Springs, Owyhee County,
Idaho, in cooperation with the Service,
and is applying to the Service for a
permit under section 10(a) of the Act,
authorizing incidental take of CSFs.
Under the proposed Agreement and
permit, the State of Idaho and the
Service would implement various
conservation measures on the Sam

Noble Springs parcel. The conservation
measures under the proposed
Agreement are intended to reduce all
threats to the CSF that are controllable
by the State of Idaho within the project
area. Conservation measures that would
be implemented within the project area
include: (1) Altered timing and intensity
of livestock grazing; (2) installation of
grazing management structures; (3)
creation of additional livestock watering
ponds; (4) installation and operation of
a water collection facility serving a
livestock watering trough; (5)
maintenance of existing livestock
watering ponds; (6) management of
vegetation in and adjacent to occupied
CSF habitat; and (7) monitoring of CSF
populations and habitat condition to
determine effectiveness and compliance
with the Agreement. If issued, the
permit would authorize incidental take
of CSFs as a result of specified land
management practices related to
agriculture, livestock management, and
CSF habitat restoration.
We provide this notice pursuant to
section 10(c) of the Endangered Species
Act and implementing regulations for
the National Environmental Policy Act
(40 CFR 1506.6), in order to solicit
public review and comments on the
permit application and a related
environmental assessment. Comments
received will be considered in the
course of our evaluation of the proposed
permit under section 10(a) of the
Endangered Species Act and National
Environmental Policy Act. We will not
make our final decision on the
application until after completion of the
comment period and will fully consider
all comments received during the
comment period.
