The
Applicant has applied to the Service for
a Section 10(a)(1)(B) incidental take
permit for a period of 30 years in order
to authorize incidental take of the

Section 9 of the Act prohibits the
‘‘taking’’ of endangered species such as
the golden-cheeked 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.
We provide this notice under section
10(c) of the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)
and its implementing regulations (50
CFR 17.22), and the National
Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C.

regulations (40 CFR 1506.6).
Applicant: The Applicant plans to
construct a residential and commercial
development on the 176-acre property
located on Shadow Canyon property,

approved by the Service to preserve 97
acres of golden-cheeked warbler habitat
in perpetuity within the acquisition area
of the Balcones Canyonlands National
Wildlife Refuge.
