We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (Service), have received
an application from Scott and Rita
Longworth for a 10-year incidental take
permit under the Endangered Species
Act of 1973, as amended (Act). The
application addresses the potential for
‘‘take’’ of the federally endangered
Morro shoulderband snail that is likely
to occur incidental to the construction,
maintenance, and occupation of a

single-family residence on a legally
created single-family zoned parcel in
the unincorporated community of Los
Osos, San Luis Obispo County,
California. The applicants would
implement a conservation program to
minimize and mitigate project activities
that are likely to result in take of the
Morro shoulderband snail as described
in their plan. We invite comments from
the public on the application, which
includes the Longworth Low-Effect
Habitat Conservation Plan for the Morro
Shoulderband Snail. This proposed
action has been determined to be
eligible for a Categorical Exclusion
under the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969, as amended (NEPA).
DATES: To ensure consideration, please
send your written comments by October
5, 2012.
ADDRESSES: You may download a copy
of the habitat conservation plan, draft
environmental action statement and
low-effect screening form, and related
documents on the Internet at https://
www.fws.gov/ventura/, or you may
request copies of the documents by U.S.
mail or phone (see below). Please
address written comments to Diane K.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Morro shoulderband snail (=
banded dune snail; Helminthoglypta
walkeriana) was listed by the Service as
endangered on December 15, 1994 (59
FR 64613). Section 9 of the Act and its
implementing regulations (16 U.S.C.
1531 et seq.) prohibit the take of fish or
wildlife species listed as endangered or
threatened. ‘‘Take’’ is defined under the
Act to include the following activities:
‘‘to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot,
wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect, or
to attempt to engage in any such
conduct’’ (16 U.S.C. 1532); however,
under section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Act, we
may issue permits to authorize
incidental take of listed species.
‘‘Incidental take’’ is defined by the Act
as take that is not the purpose of
carrying out of an otherwise lawful
activity. Regulations governing
incidental take permits for threatened
and endangered species are provided in
the Code of Federal Regulations at 50
CFR 17.32 and 17.22. Issuance of an
