will undertake the following actions: (1)
Implement a prescribed fire program
designed to maintain and enhance pine
stand characteristics suitable for the
Woodpecker; (2) implement forest
management actions to enhance existing
pine stocking densities and reduce
hardwood canopies; (3) enhance future
pine stocking densities by planting; (4)
enhance existing Woodpecker clusters
through construction of artificial
cavities; (5) create potential new cluster
sites using artificial cavity inserts; and
(6) translocate individual Woodpeckers
within the enrolled property to enhance
pair-bond formation and establish new
groups.
The Applicant’s property currently
supports seven clusters of Woodpeckers.
Conservation measures proposed by the
Applicant will enhance existing habitat
conditions and contribute to the
continued survival of the seven
Woodpecker clusters currently residing
on the property. In addition, the
Applicant intends to similarly manage
unoccupied habitat in a similar manner
that will create suitable habitat for
Woodpeckers. The Applicant
anticipates that the proposed
conservation measures will lead to
additional groups of Woodpeckers
inhabiting the enrolled property.
Without the proposed Agreement, it
would not be possible for the Applicant
to undertake the proposed conservation
measures and receive regulatory
assurances from the Service through the
Endangered Species Act.
Consistent with the Service’s Safe
Harbor policy and implementing
regulations, we propose to issue a
permit to the Applicant authorizing the
incidental take of Woodpeckers, that
occur on the enrolled lands through
lawful activities on the enrolled land, as
long as baseline conditions are
maintained and terms of the Agreement
are implemented. Future activities of
the Applicant could result in a return to
the baseline condition, but the
Applicant has indicated that a return to
baseline condition is not anticipated.
This Notice also advises the public
that the Service has made a preliminary
determination that issuance of the
enhancement of survival permit will not
result in significant impacts to the
human environment and is, therefore,
categorically excluded from review
under the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969, as amended (42
U.S.C. 4331 et seq.) (NEPA), pursuant to
516 Departmental Manual 2, Appendix
1 and 516 Departmental Manual 6,
Appendix 1. This Notice is provided
pursuant to Section 10 of the
Endangered Species Act. The Service
VerDate Aug<31>2005

specifically requests information, views,
and opinions from the public.
We will evaluate the proposed
Agreement, associated documents, and
comments submitted by the public to
determine whether the requirements of
Section 10(a) of the Endangered Species
Act and NEPA regulations have been
met. If we determine that the
requirements are met, we will issue an
enhancement of survival permit under
Section 10(a)(1)(A) of the Endangered
Species Act to the Applicant in
accordance with the terms of the
Agreement and specific terms and
conditions of the authorizing permit.
We will not make our final decision
until the end of the 30-day comment
period and will fully consider all
comments received during the comment
period.
