ACTION: Notice: Receipt of application for an incidental take permit; request for comments. AGENCY: SUMMARY: We, the Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce the availability of an Incidental Take Permit (ITP) Application and Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP). The Deltona Young Men’s Christian Association Facility (Deltona YMCA) (applicant) requests an ITP for a 2-year duration under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). The applicant anticipates taking approximately 0.30 acre of Florida scrub-jay (Alphelocoma coerulescens)—occupied habitat incidental to expansion of an already existing YMCA facility in Volusia County, Florida (project). The applicant’s HCP describes the mitigation and minimization measures the applicant proposes to address the effects of the project to the scrub-jay. DATES: We must receive any written comments on the ITP application and HCP on or before June 9, 2008. ADDRESSES: If you wish to review the application and HCP, you may write the Field Supervisor at our Jacksonville Field Office, 6620 Southpoint Drive South, Suite 310, Jacksonville, FL 32216, or make an appointment to visit during normal business hours. If you wish to comment, you may mail or hand deliver comments to the Jacksonville Field Office, or you may e-mail comments to paula_sisson@fws.gov.

While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. Please reference permit number TE176788–0 for Deltona YMCA in all requests or comments. Please include your name and return address in your e-mail message. If you do not receive a confirmation from us that we have received your e-mail message, contact us directly at the telephone number listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. Background The Florida scrub-jay (scrub-jay) is found exclusively in peninsular Florida and is restricted to xeric upland communities (predominately in oakdominated scrub with open canopies) of the interior and Atlantic coast sand ridges. Increasing urban and agricultural development has resulted in habitat loss and fragmentation, which have adversely affected the distribution and numbers of scrub-jays. Remaining habitat is largely degraded due to the exclusion of fire, which is needed to maintain xeric uplands in conditions suitable for scrub-jays. The total estimated population is between 7,000 and 11,000 individuals. Applicant’s Proposal The applicant is requesting take of approximately 0.30 ac of occupied scrub-jay habitat incidental to the project. The 10-ac project is located within Section 08, Township 18 South, Range 31 East, Volusia County. The proposed project currently includes the expansion of the existing YMCA facility to include a new child care facility, administrative offices, exercise room, indoor basketball courts, and additional parking. The applicant proposes to mitigate for the take of the Florida scrub-jay by protecting and managing E:\FR\FM\09MYN1.SGM 09MYN1 26408 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 91 / Friday, May 9, 2008 / Notices 1.3 ac of onsite habitat and creating a public education area within the preserve to serve the surrounding community. As minimization for impacts to the species, clearing activities during project construction will occur outside the scrub-jay nesting season (March 1–June 30) if active nests are found onsite. We have determined that the applicant’s proposal, including the proposed mitigation and minimization measures, would have minor or negligible effects on the species covered in the HCP. Therefore, the ITP is a ‘‘loweffect’’ project and qualifies for categorical exclusions under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), as provided by the Department of the Interior Manual (516 DM 2 Appendix 1 and 516 DM 6 Appendix 1). This preliminary information may be revised based on our review of public comments that we receive in response to this notice. A low-effect HCP is one involving (1) minor or negligible effects on federally listed or candidate species and their habitats, and (2) minor or negligible effects on other environmental values or resources. We will evaluate the HCP and comments submitted thereon to determine whether the application meets the requirements of section 10(a) of the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). If we determine that the application meets those requirements, we will issue the ITP for incidental take of the scrub-jay. We will also evaluate whether issuance of the section 10(a)(1)(B) ITP complies with section 7 of the Act by conducting an intra-Service section 7 consultation. We will use the results of this consultation, in combination with the above findings, in the final analysis to determine whether or not to issue the ITP. Authority: We provide this notice under Section 10 of the Act and NEPA regulations (40 CFR 1506.6). Dated: April 24, 2008. David L. Hankla, Field Supervisor, Jacksonville Field Office. [FR Doc.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to Section 315 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1745), the surface owner, Robert G. Hooper, filed an application for a Disclaimer of Interest for the land described as follows: Fifth Principal Meridian T. 16 N., R. 17 W., Sec. 1, NE1⁄4NW1⁄4. The area described contains 43.57 acres, more or less, in Searcy County. The BLM—Eastern States’ review of the land status records indicates that a patent was issued to R.B. Weaver, E.S. Weaver, R.F. King, H.C. King, and R.D. Ailly for the Eureka Placer Mine, Buffalo District, Final Certificate Number 24, dated November 28, 1893. A copy of the land patent certificate cannot be located.

It is the opinion of this office that the Federal Government no longer has an interest in this 43.57acre tract. Robert G. Hooper, surface owner, is seeking to clear title to demonstrate that the United States has transferred ownership to the original patentee. All persons who wish to present comments, suggestions, or objections in connection with the pending application and proposed disclaimer may do so by writing to Stephen R. Wells, Deputy Assistant Director, Division of Natural Resources at the above address. Comments, including names and street addresses of commentors, will be available for public review at the BLM-Eastern States Office (see address above), during regular business hours, Monday through Friday, except holidays.

If no valid objection is received, this action will be approved and will clear a cloud on the title by stating that the United States does not have a valid interest in this land.

peninsular Florida and is restricted to xeric upland communities 
(predominately in oak-dominated scrub with open canopies) of the 
interior and Atlantic coast sand ridges. Increasing urban and 
agricultural development has resulted in habitat loss and

occupied scrub-jay habitat incidental to the project. The 10-ac project 
is located within Section 08, Township 18 South, Range 31 East, Volusia 
County. The proposed project currently includes the expansion of the

the preserve to serve the surrounding community. As minimization for 
impacts to the species, clearing activities during project construction 
will occur outside the scrub-jay nesting season (March 1-June 30) if

    We have determined that the applicant's proposal, including the

    We will evaluate the HCP and comments submitted thereon to 
determine whether the application meets the requirements of section 
10(a) of the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). If we determine that the 
application meets those requirements, we will issue the ITP for 
incidental take of the scrub-jay. We will also evaluate whether
