Background
The Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)
prohibits activities with endangered and
threatened species unless a Federal

our implementing regulations in the
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 50
CFR 17, the Act provides for permits
and requires that we invite public
comment before issuing these permits.
A permit granted by us under section
10(a)(1)(A) of the Act authorizes the
permittees to conduct activities with
U.S. endangered or threatened species
for scientific purposes, enhancement of
propagation or survival, or interstate
commerce (the latter only in the event
that it facilitates scientific purposes or
enhancement of propagation or
survival). Our regulations implementing
section 10(a)(1)(A) for these permits are
found at 50 CFR 17.22 for endangered
wildlife species, 50 CFR 17.32 for
threatened wildlife species, 50 CFR
17.62 for endangered plant species, and
50 CFR 17.72 for threatened plant
species.

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife
and Plants; Enhancement of Survival
Permit Application; Draft Oil and Gas
Candidate Conservation Agreement
With Assurances for the Lesser
Prairie-Chicken; Draft Environmental
Assessment
Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of availability; request
for comments.
AGENCY:
We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (Service), received an
application for an enhancement of
survival permit (permit) under the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (ESA), for take associated with
implementation of a lesser prairiechicken Candidate Conservation
Agreement with Assurances (CCAA)
throughout the species’ range in Kansas,
Colorado, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and
Texas. The intent of the CCAA is to
provide the oil and gas industry with
the opportunity to voluntarily conserve
the lesser prairie-chicken and its
habitat, in a manner that would
contribute to precluding the need to list
the species, while carrying out their oil
and gas activities. The Western
Association of Fish and Wildlife
Agencies (WAFWA) is the permit
applicant and proposes to convey
incidental take authorization to oil and
gas companies that enroll in the CCAA
through certificates of inclusion.
Pursuant to the National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA), we have prepared a
draft environmental assessment (EA)
that analyzes the potential impacts of
issuance of the permit and
implementation of the proposed CCAA,
as well as two alternatives to the
proposed action. The permit
application, draft CCAA, and draft EA
