Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 27 / Thursday, February 9, 2012 / Notices
acres burned in Bastrop County, Texas,
much of which was habitat for the
endangered Houston toad. The Houston
toad usually emerges and becomes
active at the end of January or in early
February. Without authorized personnel
to salvage individuals, the ongoing
Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) clean-up may be delayed or
Houston toads may be needlessly
harmed or killed. We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service have authorized
researchers employed by FEMA, under
an Endangered Species Act (ESA)
permit, to survey for, collect, and
relocate Houston toads that may be
affected by the FEMA clean-up.
ADDRESSES: Documents and other
information concerning the permit are
available for review, subject to the
requirements of the Privacy Act and
Freedom of Information Act. Documents
will be available for public inspection,
by appointment only, during normal
business hours at the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, 500 Gold Ave. SW.,
Room 6034, Albuquerque, NM 87103.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Susan Jacobsen, Chief, Endangered
Species Division, P.O. Box 1306,
Albuquerque, NM 87103; (505) 248–
6920.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) clean-up in Bastrop County,
Texas, after the September 4 through
October 10, 2011, fire may be delayed or
the endangered Houston toad (Bufo
houstonensis) may be needlessly
harmed or killed without authorized
personnel to salvage individuals.
Because the Houston toad usually
emerges and becomes active at the end
of January or in early February, we, the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have
authorized Jacob T. Jackson and James
H. Bell (TE–64710A), under an
Endangered Species Act (ESA) permit,
to immediately aid Houston toads that
may be affected by the FEMA clean-up.
Efforts to salvage adults, juveniles,
tadpoles, or egg masses are currently
taking place and will continue on an
ongoing basis until the FEMA clean-up
is completed.
Salvage of Houston toads may include
the following activities: collect as
adults, juveniles, tadpoles, or eggs from
areas or under conditions that will
likely result in their dessication or
destruction; transport to the Welsh
property in Bastrop County, Texas, and
release into exclosures or the
headstarting facility until they can be
returned to the wild; or transported to
the Houston toad captive breeding or
captive assurance colony at the Houston
Zoo.
