Public Comments Solicited On November 9, 2010, we published in the Federal Register (75 FR 68821) a notice announcing our receipt of an application from KWP II for an incidental take permit under section 10(a) of the ESA (16 U.S.C. 1539(a)). KWP II is requesting an incidental take permit under the ESA to authorize take of the federally endangered Hawaiian petrel (Pterodroma sandwichensis), endangered Hawaiian goose (nene, Branta sandvicensis), endangered Hawaiian hoary bat (Lasiurus cinereus semotus), and the threatened Newell’s (Townsend’s) shearwater (Puffinus auricularis newelli) (collectively these four species are hereafter referred to as the ‘‘Covered Species’’). Incidental take of the Covered Species may be caused by the construction and operation of the KWP II wind energy facility on the island of Maui. The permit application includes a draft HCP that describes the actions and the measures that KWP II will implement to minimize, mitigate, and monitor incidental take of the Covered Species, and a draft IA. A draft EA has been prepared in response to the permit application in accordance with requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The public comment period on the aforementioned documents closed on December 9, 2010. In response to a request from the general public, we are reopening the comment period for an additional 30 days. We specifically request comments from the public on whether the application meets the statutory and regulatory requirements for issuing a permit, and identification of any aspects of the human environment that should be analyzed in the draft EA. We are also soliciting comments on: The adequacy of the HCP to minimize, mitigate, and monitor the proposed incidental take of the Covered Species; adequacy of the funding being provided to implement the proposed mitigation program and any appropriate responses to changed circumstances; adequacy of the adaptive management program; and certainty that mitigation will occur. We are seeking comments on the adequacy of the HCP relative to the permit issuance criteria found in section 10(a) of the ESA, 16 U.S.C. 1539(a), and 50 CFR 13.21, 17.22, and 17.32.
