Agreement, Draft Environmental
Assessment, and Receipt of
Applications for Enhancement of
Survival Permits
Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of availability and
receipt of applications; request for
comments.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: As part of ongoing recovery
efforts for the endangered Columbia
Basin distinct population segment of the
pygmy rabbit (Brachylagus idahoensis),
this notice advises the public that the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service
or we), in cooperation with the
Washington Department of Fish and
Wildlife (WDFW), is making available
for public review and comment a draft
Template Safe Harbor Agreement
(Agreement). The proposed Agreement
addresses incidental take of Columbia
PO 00000
Frm 00058
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Basin pygmy rabbits (CBPR) that could
result from activities associated with
ranching, farming, recreation,
residential upkeep, conservation
programs, and shrub steppe
maintenance, restoration, and
enhancement on an undeterminable
number of non-Federal properties. The
area covered by the proposed
Agreement (Covered Area) includes
portions of 6 counties in central
Washington and totals approximately
2,650,000 acres. However, eligible
properties that occur within the Covered
Area and are most likely to be enrolled
under the Agreement would primarily
include those that have existing shrub
steppe habitat and/or soil conditions
that may be capable of supporting the
species, either currently or in the
foreseeable future. These lands, as well
as adjacent properties that may receive
intermittent use by CBPRs, such as for
exploratory behavior or dispersal
between suitable habitats, total
approximately 750,000 acres.
Implementation of the proposed
Agreement would provide the
opportunity for interested non-Federal
and non-WDFW landowners and
managers to voluntarily enroll their
lands under the Agreement and receive
an enhancement of survival permit
pursuant to section 10(a)(1)(A) of the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (ESA). In exchange for the
incidental take authority that would be
provided by issuance of permits,
participants who enroll their lands
under this Agreement would implement
conservation measures that would be
expected to provide a net conservation
benefit to the CBPR. The duration of the
proposed Agreement is 20 years. The
duration of associated permits could be
for shorter periods, but would not
exceed the duration of the Agreement.
More detailed descriptions of the
background biological information,
Covered Area, proposed covered
activities, conservation measures, and
expected net conservation benefits are
provided in the draft Agreement and in
the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section
below.
This also announces the receipt and
availability for public review and
comment three applications for
incidental take permits for the
enhancement of survival for the CBPR
in conjunction with the Agreement.
These applications have been received
from The Nature Conservancy, Mr. Dave
Billingsley and Mr. Peter Lancaster
(Applicants). Issuance of these permits
would authorize incidental take of
CBPRs above the existing baseline
conditions of enrolled properties that
