Spring Pygmy Sunfish Candidate
Conservation Agreement With
Assurances; Receipt of Application for
Enhancement of Survival Permit;
Beaverdam Springs, Limestone
County, AL
Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of availability; request
for comments.
AGENCY:
We, the Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service), have received an
application from Mr. Banks Sewell of
Belle Mina Farm Ltd. (applicant) for an
enhancement of survival permit (permit)
under the Endangered Species Act of
1973, as amended (Act). The permit
application includes a proposed
candidate conservation agreement with
assurances (CCAA), between the
applicant, the Land Trust of Huntsville
and North Alabama, and the Service for
the spring pygmy sunfish. The CCAA
would be implemented at the
Beaverdam—Moss Creek/Spring
Complex within Limestone County,
Alabama. We have made a preliminary
determination that the proposed CCAA
and permit application are eligible for
categorical exclusion under the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA). The basis for this preliminary
determination is contained in a draft
environmental action statement (EAS).
We are accepting comments on the
permit application, the proposed CCAA,
and the draft EAS.
DATES: We must receive comments no
later than March 22, 2012.
ADDRESSES: Persons wishing to review
the application, the draft CCAA, and the
draft EAS may obtain copies by request
from Daniel Drennen, Mississippi Field
Office, by phone at 601–321–1127, or
via mail or email (see below). The
application and related documents will
also be available for public inspection,
by appointment only, during normal
business hours (8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) at
the Jackson, Mississippi, Field Office
(address listed below) or on our Web
site at https://www.fws.gov/

application, the draft CCAA, and the
draft EAS should be submitted in

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We
furnish this notice to provide the public,
other State and Federal agencies, and
interested Tribes an opportunity to
review and comment on the permit
application, including the draft CCAA
and draft EAS. We specifically request
information, views, and opinions from
the public on the proposed Federal
action of issuing a permit. Further, we
solicit information regarding the
adequacy of the permit application,
including the proposed CCAA, as
measured against our permit issuance
criteria found in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR 17.22(d)
and 17.32(d).
Background
Under a Candidate Conservation
Agreement with Assurances,
participating landowners voluntarily
undertake management activities on
their property to enhance, restore, or
maintain habitat benefiting species that
are proposed for listing under the Act,
candidates for listing, or that may
become candidates or proposed for
listing. Candidate Conservation
Agreements with Assurances (CCAAs),
and the associated permits we issue
under section 10(a)(l)(A) of the Act (16
U.S.C. 1531. et seq.), encourage private
and other non-Federal property owners
to implement conservation efforts for
species by assuring property owners
that they will not be subjected to
increased land use restrictions if that
species becomes listed under the Act in
the future provided certain conditions
are met. Application requirements and
issuance criteria for permits through
CCAAs are found in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR 17.22(d)
and 17.32(d). See also our policy on
CCAAs (64 FR 32 726; June 17, 1999).
The conservation of the spring pygmy
sunfish (Elassoma alabamae) is of
concern to the Service, other biologists,
and the landowners whose properties
PO 00000
Frm 00071
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
contain the species. The spring pygmy
sunfish is a spring-associated fish,
endemic to the Tennessee River
drainage of Lauderdale and Limestone
Counties in northern Alabama. The
species historically occurred in three
distinct spring complexes (Cave
Springs, Lauderdale County; Beaverdam
Springs and Pryor Springs, Limestone
County). The single remaining
population of this species occupies
about 5 river miles (mi) (8.05 river
kilometers (km)) within four spring
pools (Moss, Beaverdam, Thorsen, and
Horton Springs) associated with the
upper Beaverdam Springs complex in
Limestone County, Alabama.
The preferred habitat for the spring
pygmy sunfish is clear and colorless to
slightly stained spring water, spring
runs, and associated spring-fed
wetlands (Warren 2004). The species is
highly localized within these spring
pools and is found in association with
patches of dense, filamentous
submergent vegetation. Spring pygmy
sunfish abundance is correlated with
specific water quantity and quality
parameters (i.e., water flow velocity,
turbidity, and water temperatures) and
certain associated species such as
amphipods, isopods, spring
salamanders, crayfish, and snails
(Sandel, pers. comm., 2007).
On April 1, 2011, the Service
published a 90-day finding on a petition
to list the spring pygmy sunfish as
endangered under the Act (76 FR
18138). The Service found that the
petition presented substantial scientific
or commercial information indicating
that listing this species may be
warranted, and announced the initiation
of a formal status review. For further
information on previous Federal actions
regarding the species, please refer to the
90-day finding. As a result of our
‘‘substantial’’ 90-day finding, we are
currently collecting and analyzing data
to assess the species’ status. At the end
of the yearlong period, the Service will
publish a finding, known commonly as
a ‘‘12-month finding,’’ on whether or
not listing is warranted. In accordance
with court-approved settlement entered
into last year with Wild Earth Guardians
and the Center for Biological Diversity,
if we determine that listing is
warranted, our 12-month finding will
include a proposed rule to list the
spring pygmy sunfish under the Act.
The area to be covered under the
proposed CCAA is approximately 3,200
acres within the Beaverdam Springs
complex, owned by the applicant and
located in Limestone County, Alabama.
The proposed CCAA represents a
significant milestone in the cooperative
conservation efforts for this species and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Sustainable Communities Regional
Planning Grant Program (Program) supports metropolitan and
multijurisdictional planning efforts that integrate housing, land use,
economic and workforce development, transportation, and infrastructure
investments in a manner that empowers jurisdictions to consider the
interdependent challenges of: (1) Economic competitiveness and
revitalization; (2) social equity, inclusion, and access to
opportunity; (3) energy use and climate change; and (4) public health
and environmental impact. The Program places a priority on investing in
partnerships, including nontraditional partnerships (e.g., arts and
culture, recreation, public health, food systems, regional planning
agencies and public education entities) that translate the Livability
Principles (Section I.C.1) into strategies that direct long-term
development and reinvestment, demonstrate a commitment to addressing
issues of regional significance, use data to set and monitor progress
toward performance goals, and engage stakeholders and
[[Page 9957]]
residents in meaningful decision-making roles.
Funding from this Program will support the development and
implementation of Regional Plans for Sustainable Development (RPSD)
that:
a. Identify affordable housing, transportation, water
infrastructure, economic development, land use planning, environmental
conservation, energy system, open space, and other infrastructure
priorities for the region;
b. Clearly define a single, integrated plan for regional

d. Use geo-coded data sets and other metrics in developing,
implementing, monitoring, and assessing the performance goals of
various reinvestment scenarios;
e. Provide detailed plans, maps, policies, and implementation
strategies to be adopted by all participating jurisdictions over time
to meet planning goals;
f. Prioritize projects that facilitate the implementation of the
