Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 201 / Thursday, October 16, 2008 / Notices
species or facilitate obtaining incidental
take coverage if these species become
listed in the future. Comal County
would not seek incidental take
authorization for the four ‘‘additional
species,’’ because these species are not
likely to experience take from covered
activities.
Alternatives: The proposed action and
alternatives that will be developed in
the EIS will be assessed against the No
Action/No Project Alternative, which
assumes that some or all of the current
and future take of covered species in
Comal County would be implemented
individually, one at a time, and be in
compliance with the Act. The No
Action/No Project Alternative implies
that the impacts from these potential
activities on the covered species would
be evaluated and mitigated on a projectby-project basis, as is currently the case.
For any activities involving take of
listed species due to non-Federal
actions, individual Section 10(a)(1)(B)
permits would be required. Without a
coordinated, comprehensive
conservation approach for the County,
listed species may not be adequately
addressed by individual project-specific
mitigation requirements, and mitigation
would be piecemeal and less cost
effective in helping Federal and nonFederal agencies work toward recovery
of listed species. In addition to the No
Action/No Project Alternative, a
reasonable range of alternatives will also
be considered, along with the associated
impacts of the various alternatives.
Scoping Meeting
The primary purpose of this meeting
and public comment period is to receive
suggestions and information on the
scope of issues and alternatives to
consider when drafting the EIS. We will
accept oral and written comments at
this meeting. You may also submit your
comments by mail (see ADDRESSES
above). Once the draft EIS and draft
RHCP are completed, additional
opportunity for public comment on the
content of these documents and an
additional public meeting will be
provided.
Persons needing reasonable
accommodations in order to attend and
participate in the public scoping
meeting should contact the Service (see
ADDRESSES above) no later than 1 week
prior to the public scoping meeting.
Information regarding this proposed
action is available in alternative formats
upon request.
A primary purpose of the scoping
process is to identify, rather than
debate, significant issues related to the
proposed action. In order to ensure that
we identify a range of issues and
alternatives related to the proposed
action, we invite comments and
suggestions from all interested parties.
We will conduct a review of this project
according to the requirements of NEPA,
other appropriate Federal laws,
regulations, policies, and guidance, and
Service procedures for compliance with
those regulations.
Environmental Review
The EIS will be prepared in
accordance with the requirements of
NEPA, other applicable regulations, and
the Service’s procedures for compliance
with those regulations. The EIS will
analyze the proposed action, as well as
a range of reasonable alternatives and
the associated impacts of each. The EIS
will be the basis for our evaluation of
impacts to the human environment and
the range of alternatives to be addressed.
We expect the EIS to provide biological
descriptions of the affected species and
habitats, as well as the effects of the
proposed action and alternatives on
resources such as: Vegetation, wetlands,
wildlife, threatened or endangered
species and rare species, geology and
soils, air quality, water resources, flood
control, water quality, cultural resources
(prehistoric, historic, and traditional
cultural properties), land use,
recreation, water use, local economy,
and environmental justice.
After a draft EIS is prepared, we will
publish a Notice of Availability along
with a request for comment on the draft
EIS and Comal County’s permit
application, which will include the
draft RHCP.
The draft EIS and draft RHCP are
expected to be completed and available
to the public by January 2010.
