jeopardize the existence of federally
listed fish, wildlife, or plants.
Applicant’s Proposal
The applicant is requesting take of
approximately 3.57 ac of occupied sand
skink foraging and sheltering habitat
incidental to construction of a
commercial development, and seeks a 5year permit. The 3.92-ac project site is
located on 21.28-ac parcel #19–22–25–
000100005200 within Section 19,
Township 22 South, Range 25 East, Lake
County, Florida. The applicant proposes
to mitigate for the take of the sand skink
by the purchase of 7.14 mitigation
credits within the Hatchineha Ranch
Conservation Bank.
Our Preliminary Determination
We have determined that the
applicant’s proposal, including the
proposed mitigation and minimization
measures, would have minor or
negligible effects on the species covered
in the HCP. Therefore, we determined
that the ITP is a ‘‘low-effect’’ project and
qualifies for categorical exclusion under
the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA), as provided by the Department
of the Interior Manual (516 DM 2
Appendix 1 and 516 DM 6 Appendix 1).
A low-effect HCP is one involving (1)
minor or negligible effects on federally
listed or candidate species and their
habitats, and (2) minor or negligible
effects on other environmental values or
resources.
erowe on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with
Next Steps
We will evaluate the HCP and
comments we receive to determine
whether the ITP application meets the
requirements of section 10(a) of the Act
(16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). If we determine
that the application meets these
requirements, we will issue ITP
#TE83714A–0. We will also evaluate
whether issuance of the section
10(a)(1)(B) ITP complies with section 7
of the Act by conducting an intraService section 7 consultation. We will
use the results of this consultation, in
combination with the above findings, in
our final analysis to determine whether
or not to issue the ITP. If the
requirements are met, we will issue the
permit to the applicant.

application, HCP, and associated
documents, you may submit comments
