AGENCY:
We, the Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service), have received an
application, under the Endangered
Species Act of 1973 (Act), as amended,
from Green Diamond Resource
Company (GDRCo) for a proposed loweffect amendment to their Habitat
Conservation Plan (HCP) and
Implementation Agreement (IA). If
approved, the GDRCo incidental take
permit (ITP), as well as the HCP and IA,
would be amended to increase the
amount of lands covered under the ITP
and HCP; some of the HCP management
prescriptions would change, including
those associated with marbled murrelet
(Brachyramphus marmoratus) habitat
protection; and the IA would be
amended to include a new clause and a
new marbled murrelet habitat map. The
amendment would change the
management of GDRCo’s added lands
from prescriptions currently required
under the standard Washington State
Forest Practices Rules (FP Rules) and
Forest Practices HCP (FP HCP) to those
of the GDRCo HCP. We invite public
comment on the proposed amendment

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Section 9 of the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531
et seq.) and our implementing Federal
regulations in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR 17 prohibit
the ‘‘take’’ of fish or wildlife species
listed as endangered or threatened. Take
of listed fish or wildlife is defined under
the Act as ‘‘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 of the Act,
for limited circumstances, we issue
permits to authorize incidental take of
threatened or endangered species—i.e.,
take that is incidental to, and not the
purpose of, the carrying out of otherwise
lawful activities. A permit to take bald
eagles can also be issued under the Act
when associated with a conservation
PO 00000
Frm 00054
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
plan such as an HCP, as long as the Bald
and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16
U.S.C. 668–668c) standards are met.
Regulations governing incidental take
permits for threatened and endangered
species are at 50 CFR 17.32 and 17.22,
respectively. Regulations governing take
of bald eagles are at 50 CFR 22. In
addition to meeting other criteria, an
incidental take permit must not
jeopardize the continued existence of
federally listed threatened or
endangered species, and authorized take
of bald eagles must be consistent with
the goal of maintaining stable or
increasing breeding populations of this
species.
Introduction
The GDRCo has requested an
amendment to the HCP, IA, and ITP
originally issued on October 13, 2000,
with a term of 50 years. The species
covered under the existing and
amended ITP would remain the same;
however, for some species, listing status
has changed since the permit was
issued. Covered species under the
amended HCP include the bull trout
(Salvelinus confluentus), which was
listed as threatened on June 10, 1998 (63
FR 31693); the marbled murrelet
(Brachyramphus marmoratus), which
was listed as threatened on October 1,
1992 (57 FR 45328); and the bald eagle
(Haliaeetus leucocephalus), which was
listed as threatened in Washington on
February 14, 1978 (43 FR 6230), and
delisted throughout the United States on
July 9, 2007 (72 FR 37346). Also covered
are 5 anadromous fish species under the
jurisdiction of the National Marine
Fisheries Service, 2 of which are listed,
and 43 additional non-listed species
associated with western forests, streams,
and wetlands.
The northern spotted owl (Strix
occidentalis caurina), which was listed
as threatened on June 26, 1990 (55 FR
26114), is not covered in the existing or
proposed amendment to the HCP.
Management of northern spotted owls
and their habitat on GDRCo lands would
continue to be guided by applicable FP
Rules, as well as by the take
prohibitions under the Act.
Applicant’s Proposal
The proposed amendment would add
to the permit approximately 53,000
acres and 854 stream miles of covered
lands, for a total of approximately
319,000 acres and 2,575 stream miles on
GDRCo lands, to be managed in
accordance with their HCP. Any
additional lands that may be acquired
by GDRCo within the Chehalis and
Willapa Basins during the term of the
permit may also be added to the HCP,
