along with existing activities currently
undertaken by the Permit Applicants
with the potential to affect federally
listed species. These activities may
include new and existing development
activities in upland and riparian areas;
ongoing water supply and flood control
activities; ongoing agricultural and
livestock practices; and the ongoing
management of trails, parks, and open
spaces. The Permit Applicants intend to
request a Permit for incidental take of
federally listed threatened or
endangered species, as well as other
species identified in the VRHCRP.
Section 9 of the Act and Federal
regulations prohibit the ‘‘take’’ of
wildlife species listed as endangered or
threatened (16 U.S.C. 1538). The Act
defines the term ‘‘take’’ as: To harass,
harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill,
trap, capture or collect listed species, or
to attempt to engage in such conduct (16
U.S.C. 1532). Harm includes significant
habitat modification or degradation that
actually kills or injures listed wildlife
by significantly impairing essential
behavioral patterns, including breeding
feeding, and sheltering [50 CFR 17.3(c)].
Pursuant to section 10(a)(1)(B) of the
Act, we may issue permits to authorize
‘‘incidental take’’ of listed species.
‘‘Incidental take’’ is defined by the Act
as take that is incidental to, and not the
purpose of, carrying out an otherwise
lawful activity. Regulations governing
permits for threatened species and
endangered species, respectively, are at
50 CFR 17.32 and 50 CFR 17.22.
Environmental Impact Statement
The EIS will consider the proposed
action, no action, and a reasonable range
of alternatives. A detailed description of
the proposed action and alternatives
will be included in the EIS. Alternatives
considered for analysis in an EIS may
include variations in the scope of
proposed activities; variations in the
location, amount, and types of
conservation measures and/or recovery
actions; variations in activity duration;
or a combination of these elements. In
addition, the EIS will identify
potentially significant direct, indirect,
and cumulative impacts on biological
resources, land use, air quality, water
quality, water resources, socioeconomic
conditions, and other environmental
issues that could occur with
implementation of the proposed action
or other alternatives. For all potentially
significant impacts, the EIS identifies
avoidance, minimization, and
mitigation measures to reduce these
impacts, where feasible, to a level below
significance.
Environmental review of the EIS will
be conducted in accordance with the
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 211001
requirements of NEPA (42 U.S.C. 4321
et seq.), its implementing regulations
(40 CFR parts 1500–1508), other
applicable regulations, and Service
procedures for compliance with those
regulations. This notice is being
furnished in accordance with 40 CFR
Section 1501.7 and 1508.22 to obtain
suggestions and information from other
agencies and the public on the scope of
issues and alternatives to be addressed
in the EIS. The primary purpose of the
scoping process is to identify important
issues raised by the public related to the
proposed action. Written comments
from interested parties are invited to
ensure that the full range of issues
related to the permit application is
identified. Comments will only be
accepted in written form. You may
submit written comments by mail,
facsimile transmission, or in person (see
ADDRESSES). All comments received,
including names and addresses, will
become part of the official
administrative record and may be made
available to the public.
Our practice is to make comments,
including names, home addresses, home
phone numbers, and e-mail addresses of
respondents, available for public
review. Individual respondents may
request that we withhold their names
and/or homes addresses, etc., but if you
wish us to consider withholding this
information you must state this
prominently at the beginning of your
comments. In addition, you must
present a rationale for withholding this
information. This rationale must
demonstrate that disclosure would
constitute a clearly unwarranted
invasion of privacy. Unsupported
assertions will not meet this burden. In
the absence of exceptional,
documentable circumstances, this
information will be released. We will
always make submissions from
organization or businesses, and from
individuals identifying themselves as
representatives of or officials of
organizations or businesses, available
for public inspection in their entirety.
