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 part 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 limited circumstances, we issue
permits to authorize incidental take—
i.e., take that is incidental to, and not
the purpose of, the carrying out of an
otherwise lawful activity.
Regulations governing incidental take
permits for threatened and endangered
species are at 50 CFR 17.32 and 17.22,
respectively. The Act’s take prohibitions
do not apply to federally listed plants
on private lands unless such take would
violate State law. In addition to meeting
other criteria, an incidental take
permit’s proposed actions must not
jeopardize the existence of federally
listed fish, wildlife, or plants.
Applicant’s Proposal
The applicant is requesting take of
approximately 2.0 ac of occupied sand
skink foraging and sheltering habitat
incidental to construction of
commercial developments, and they
seek a 10-year permit. The 7.81–ac
project is located on parcel #s 29–22–
26–0602000001A0 and 29–22–26–
0603000001B0 within Section 29,
Township 22 South, Range 26 East, Lake
County, Florida. The project includes
construction of a commercial
development and the associated
infrastructure, and landscaping. The
applicant proposes to mitigate for the
take of the sand skink by the purchase
of 4.0 mitigation credits within the
Morgan Lake Wales Preserve.
Our Preliminary Determination
We have determined that the
applicant’s proposal, including the
E:\FR\FM\24OCN1.SGM
24OCN1
63490
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 206 / Thursday, October 24, 2013 / Notices
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.
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
#TE15414B–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.
Public Comments
If you wish to comment on the permit
application, HCP, and associated
documents, you may submit comments
by any one of the methods in
ADDRESSES.
Public Availability of Comments

your entire comment—including your

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
part 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 limited circumstances, we
issue permits to authorize incidental take--i.e., take that is
incidental to, and not the purpose of, the carrying out of an otherwise
lawful activity.
Regulations governing incidental take permits for threatened and
endangered species are at 50 CFR 17.32 and 17.22, respectively. The
Act's take prohibitions do not apply to federally listed plants on
private lands unless such take would violate State law. In addition to
meeting other criteria, an incidental take permit's proposed actions
must not jeopardize the existence of federally listed fish, wildlife,
or plants.
Applicant's Proposal
The applicant is requesting take of approximately 2.0 ac of
occupied sand skink foraging and sheltering habitat incidental to
construction of commercial developments, and they seek a 10-year
permit. The 7.81-ac project is located on parcel s 29-22-26-
0602000001A0 and 29-22-26-0603000001B0 within Section 29, Township 22
South, Range 26 East, Lake County, Florida. The project includes
construction of a commercial development and the associated
infrastructure, and landscaping. The applicant proposes to mitigate for
the take of the sand skink by the purchase of 4.0 mitigation credits
within the Morgan Lake Wales Preserve.
Our Preliminary Determination
We have determined that the applicant's proposal, including the
[[Page 63490]]
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.
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 TE15414B-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 intra-Service
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.
Public Comments
If you wish to comment on the permit application, HCP, and
associated documents, you may submit comments by any one of the methods
in ADDRESSES.
Public Availability of Comments
Before including your address, phone number, email address, or
other personal identifying information in your comments, you should be
aware that your entire comment--including your personal identifying
information--may be made publicly available at any time. While you can
ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be
able to do so.
