ACTION: Notice; request for comments. AGENCY: SUMMARY: We, the Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce the availability of an incidental take permit (ITP) and Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP). Cory Palmateer (Applicant) and America’s First Home (Applicant) each request an ITP pursuant to section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). The Applicants anticipate taking about 0.4 acre combined of Florida scrub-jay (Aphelocoma coerulescens) (scrub-jay) foraging and sheltering habitat incidental to lot preparation for the construction of two single-family homes and supporting infrastructure in Volusia County, Florida (Project). The destruction of 0.4 acre of foraging and sheltering habitat is expected to result in the take of two families of scrub-jays. The Applicants’ Habitat Conservation Plans (HCPs) describe the mitigation and minimization measures proposed to address the effects of the Projects to the Florida scrub-jay. DATES: Written comments on the ITP applications and HCPs should be sent to the Jacksonville Field Office (see ADDRESSES) and should be received on or before August 23, 2006. ADDRESSES: Persons wishing to review the applications and HCPs may obtain a copy by writing the Service’s Jacksonville Field Office. Please reference permit number TE128571–0, for Palmateer, and TE128569–0, for America’s First Home, in such requests.

The lots combined encompass about 0.4 acre, and the footprint of the homes, infrastructure, and landscaping preclude retention of scrub-jay habitat on each of these respective lots. In order to minimize take on site the Applicants propose to mitigate for the loss of 0.4 acre of scrub-jay habitat by contributing a total of $18,180.96 ($7,727 for Palmateer and $10,453.96 for America’s E:\FR\FM\24JYN1.SGM 24JYN1
