incidental take anticipated from
development in the short term while a
more comprehensive long-term or rangewide habitat conservation plan is
prepared for the species. We request
public comment on the draft low-effect
HCP.
Section 9 of the Endangered Species
Act (ESA) (16 U.S.C. 1538) and its
implementing regulations prohibit take
of species listed as endangered or
threatened. The definition of take under
the ESA includes to ‘‘harass, harm,
pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap,
capture, or collect listed species or to
attempt to engage in such conduct’’ (16
U.S.C. 1532(19)). Section 10 of the ESA
(16 U.S.C. 1539) establishes a program
whereby persons seeking to pursue
activities that are otherwise legal, but
could result in take of federally
protected species, may receive an
incidental take permit (ITP). Applicants
for ITPs must submit a HCP that meets
the section 10 permit issuance criteria.
‘‘Low-effect’’ incidental take permits are
those permits that, despite their
authorization of some small level of
incidental take, individually and
cumulatively have a minor or negligible
effect on the species covered in the
HCP.
Background
In 1998, we issued an incidental take
permit to Iron County (County) under
the Iron County HCP for take of Utah
prairie dogs from development
activities. In the meantime, we have
been working with all counties within
the range of the species to develop a
comprehensive rangewide HCP that
would contribute to recovery of the
species. The Iron County commissioners
are concerned that projected increases
in economic development in the county
during the next couple of years may
result in exceeding the amount of take
authorized under the 1998 Iron County
HCP.
As a bridge to cover additional take
anticipated before a range-wide or longterm plan can be completed, Iron
County has submitted a draft low-effect
HCP that would authorize the take of no
more than 600 acres (243 hectares) of
occupied Utah prairie dog habitat over
a maximum 3-year period. The take
would be distributed into two zones (a
green zone, which primarily
encompasses parcels within already
developed areas of the cities, and a red
zone, which is on the outskirts of the
developing communities). The loweffect HCP’s minimization and
mitigation measures in the green zone
and, for small, low-quality colonies, in
the red zone would essentially mimic
those of the 1998 Iron County HCP.
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 229001
Within the red zone, large colonies and
medium- or high-quality Utah prairie
dog habitats would be avoided under
this low-effect HCP, but could be
mitigated through the 1998 Iron County
HCP and the use of conservation banks.
Under this low-effect HCP, developers
would apply to the County for their
individual take permits or letters of
authorization.
Our Preliminary Determination
We have made a preliminary
determination that the HCP qualifies as
a ‘‘low-effect’’ habitat conservation plan
as defined by our Habitat Conservation
Planning Handbook (November 1996).
We base our determination on the
following information:
(1) The size and scope of the
incidental take of Utah prairie dogs is
relatively small, and limited to
maximum of 600 ac (243 ha) of Utah
prairie dog occupied habitats over three
years;
(2) The total amount of take amounts
to only 3.6 percent of the total mapped
Utah prairie dog habitat in the West
Desert Recovery Unit; and
(3) Most of the take is limited to
already developed areas or those areas
projected for development in the near
future. These areas do not serve to
support current or future
metapopulations and objectives for
recovery of the species in the wild.
Overall we conclude that
implementation of the plan would result
in overall minor or negligible effects on
the Utah prairie dog and its habitats. We
may revise this preliminary
determination based on public
comments submitted in response to this
notice.
