SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the
final rules section of this Federal
Register, EPA is approving the State’s
SIP submittal as a direct final rule
without prior proposal because the
Agency views this as a noncontroversial
submittal and anticipates no adverse
comments. A detailed rationale for the
approval is set forth in the direct final
rule. If no relevant adverse comments
are received in response to this action,
no further activity is contemplated. If
EPA receives adverse comments, the
direct final rule will be withdrawn and
all public comments received will be
addressed in a subsequent final rule
based on this proposed rule. EPA will
not institute a second comment period.
Any parties interested in commenting
on this action should do so at this time.
Please note that if EPA receives an
adverse comment on an amendment,
paragraph, or section of this rule and if
that provision may be severed from the
remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt
as final those provisions of the rule that
are not the subject of an adverse
comment.

direct final rule, which is located in the

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife

a Special Rule

seq.), that outlines the prohibitions, and
exceptions to those prohibitions,
necessary and advisable to provide for
the conservation of the lesser prairiechicken; and (2) a reopening of the
comment period for the proposed rule to
list the lesser prairie-chicken as a
threatened species under the Act.
Why We Need To Publish a Proposed
Rule. On December 11, 2012, the
Service published a proposed rule to list
the lesser prairie-chicken as a
threatened species under the Act (77 FR
73828). At that time, the Service
indicated that we would consider
whether to subsequently propose a
section 4(d) special rule (hereafter
referred to as 4(d) special rule). Section
4(d) of the Act specifies that, for
threatened species, the Secretary shall
issue such regulations as [s]he deems
necessary and advisable to provide for
the conservation of the species. This
proposed 4(d) special rule provides
measures that are tailored to the
conservation needs of the lesser prairiechicken.
What Is the Effect of This Proposed
Rule? At the time of the 2012 proposed
listing rule (77 FR 73828), we indicated
that we would consider whether to
subsequently propose a 4(d) special rule
for the lesser prairie-chicken. We are
now proposing a 4(d) special rule and
intend to finalize it concurrent with the
final listing rule, if the results of our
final listing determination conclude that
threatened species status is appropriate.
The proposed 4(d) special rule allows
for take of the lesser prairie-chicken
incidental to activities conducted
pursuant to a comprehensive
conservation program that was
developed by or in coordination with a
State agency and that has been
determined by the Service pursuant to
the criteria outlined in this proposed
rule to provide a net conservation
benefit to the lesser prairie-chicken.
Additionally, the proposed 4(d) special
rule provides that any take of lesser
prairie-chickens incidental to
agricultural activities that are included
within a conservation plan developed
by the Natural Resources Conservation
Service (NRCS) for private agricultural
lands in connection with NRCS’s Lesser
Prairie-Chicken Initiative (LPCI), as
specified in this proposed rule, is not a
prohibited action under the Act. If an
activity resulting in take of lesser
prairie-chicken is not exempted under
this 4(d) special rule, then the general
prohibitions at 50 CFR 17.31 would
apply. We would require a permit for
such an activity as specified in our
regulations. Nothing in this proposed
4(d) special rule affects the consultation
requirements under section 7 of the Act.
