SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), make available a record of decision (ROD) under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). This ROD documents our decision to select an alternative including implementation of the Williamson County Regional Habitat Conservation Plan (RHCP). Our selected action (Alternative B, described below and in the ROD) entails the issuance of a 30-year incidental take permit (ITP) to Williamson County, Texas (the County), to incidentally take golden-cheeked warbler (Dendroica chrysoparia), blackcapped vireo (Vireo atricapilla), Bone Cave harvestman (Texella reyesi), and Coffin Cave mold beetle (Batrisodes texanus).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce the availability of a ROD, which we developed in compliance with the agency decision-making requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended. The ROD documents our decision to select the alternative including implementation of the Williamson County Regional Habitat Conservation Plan (RHCP). We have described in detail all alternatives, and evaluated and analyzed them, in our August 2008 final environmental impact statement (FEIS) and also in our regional habitat conservation plan (RHCP). The ROD is designed to: (1) State our decision, present the rationale for its selection, and discuss its implementation; (2) identify the alternatives we considered in reaching the decision; and (3) state whether we have adopted all means to avoid or minimize environmental harm from implementation of the selected alternative in accordance with NEPA. Based on our review of the alternatives and their environmental consequences described in our FEIS, we have decided to implement Alternative B, the Proposed RHCP (the proposed action). The selected action entails the issuance of a Section 10(a)(1)(B) incidental take permit (ITP) to Williamson County, Texas (the County), to incidentally take golden-cheeked warbler (Dendroica chrysoparia), blackcapped vireo (Vireo atricapilla), Bone Cave harvestman (Texella reyesi), and Coffin Cave mold beetle (Batrisodes texanus). We refer to all four species collectively as ‘‘the covered species.’’ The RHCP will mitigate for take of these species by purchasing mitigation credits in an existing conservation bank and by acquiring and managing, in perpetuity, replacement habitats and additional conservation measures as described specifically in the RHCP. While the County will hold the Permit, the entity that will manage the Permit will be the Williamson County Conservation Foundation (Foundation). The term of the permit is 30 years (2008–2038). The Foundation will implement mitigation and minimization measures according to the schedule in the RHCP. By year 4 of the RHCP, the Foundation will acquire 1,000 acres of mitigation credits for golden-cheeked warbler (GCWA) in an existing conservation bank. In addition, the County will purchase GCWA habitat E:\FR\FM\14APN1.SGM 14APN1
