(NCTC) in Shepherdstown, West
Virginia, provides natural resource and
other professional training for Service
employees, employees of other Federal
agencies, and other affiliations,
including State agencies, private
individuals, not-for-profit organizations,
and university personnel. FWS Form 3–
2193 (Training Application) is a quick
and easy method for prospective
students who are not from the
Department of the Interior to request
training. We encourage applicants to use
FWS Form 3–2193 and to submit their
requests electronically. However, we do
not require applicants to complete both
a training form required by their agency
and FWS Form 3–2193. NCTC will
accept any single training request as
long as each submission identifies the
name, address, and phone number of
the applicant, sponsoring agency, class
name, start date, and all required
financial payment information.
NCTC uses data from the form to
generate class rosters, class transcripts,
and statistics, and as a budgeting tool
for projecting training requirements. It is
also used to track attendance,
mandatory requirements, tuition, and
invoicing for all NCTC–sponsored
courses both onsite and offsite.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
ADDRESSES:
I. Abstract
As wind energy production increased,
both developers and wildlife agencies
recognized the need for a system to
evaluate and address the potential
negative impacts of wind energy
projects on species of concern. We
issued voluntary Land-Based Wind
Energy Guidelines (https://www.fws.gov/
windenergy) in March 2012 to provide
a structured, scientific process for
addressing wildlife conservation
concerns at all stages of land-based
wind energy development. The
Guidelines also promote effective
communication among wind energy
developers and Federal, State, tribal,
and local conservation agencies. When
used in concert with appropriate
regulatory tools, the Guidelines are the
best practical approach for conserving
species of concern.
The Guidelines discuss various risks
to species of concern from wind energy
projects, including collisions with wind
turbines and associated infrastructure;
loss and degradation of habitat from
turbines and infrastructure;
fragmentation of large habitat blocks
into smaller segments that may not
support sensitive species; displacement
and behavioral changes; and indirect
effects such as increased predator
populations or introduction of invasive

plants. The Guidelines assist developers
in identifying species of concern that
may potentially be affected by proposed
projects, including, but not limited to:
• Migratory birds;
• Bats;
• Bald and golden eagles and other
birds of prey;
• Prairie chickens and sage grouse;
and
• Listed, proposed, or candidate
endangered and threatened species.
The Guidelines follow a tiered
approach. The wind energy developer
begins at Tier 1 or Tier 2, which entails
gathering of existing data to help
identify any potential risks to wildlife
and their habitats at proposed wind
energy project sites. The developer then
proceeds through subsequent tiers, as
appropriate, to collect information in
increasing detail until the level of risk
is adequately ascertained and a decision
on whether or not to develop the site
can be made. Many projects may not
proceed beyond Tier 1 or 2, when
developers become aware of potential
barriers, including high risks to wildlife.
Developers would only have an interest
in adhering to the Guidelines for those
projects that proceed beyond Tier 1 or
2.
At each tier, wind energy developers
and operators should retain
documentation to provide to the
Service. Such documentation may
include copies of correspondence with
the Service, results of pre- and postconstruction studies conducted at
project sites, bird and bat conservation
strategies, or any other record that
supports a developer’s adherence to the
Guidelines. The extent of the
documentation will depend on the
conditions of the site being developed.
Sites with greater risk of impacts to
wildlife and habitats will likely involve
more extensive communication with the
Service and longer durations of pre- and
Number of
responses
Completion
time per
response
(hours)
post-construction studies than sites with
little risk.
Distributed or community-scale wind
energy projects are unlikely to have
significant adverse impacts to wildlife
and their habitats. The Guidelines
recommend that developers of these
small-scale projects do the desktop
analysis described in Tier 1 or Tier 2
using publicly available information to
determine whether they should
communicate with the Service. Since
such project designs usually include a
single turbine associated with existing
development, conducting a Tier 1 or
Tier 2 analysis for distributed or
community-scale wind energy projects
should incur limited nonhour burden
costs. For such projects, if there is no
potential risk identified, a developer
will have no need to communicate with
the Service regarding the project or to
conduct studies described in Tiers 3, 4,
and 5.
Adherence to the Guidelines is
voluntary. Following the Guidelines
does not relieve any individual,
company, or agency of the responsibility
to comply with applicable laws and
regulations. Developers of wind energy
projects have a responsibility to comply
with the law; for example, they must
obtain incidental take authorization for
species protected by the Endangered
Species Act and/or Bald and Golden
Eagle Protection Act.

application for an incidental take permit
pursuant to section 10(a)(1)(B) of the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (Act), from the City of Colton

California. The Service, in cooperation
and coordination with the City, has
prepared a draft environmental
assessment (EA) under the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for
the City’s permit application and
proposed West Valley Habitat
Conservation Plan (HCP). We have
prepared the draft EA to analyze the
impacts of the Service’s proposed
issuance of the requested permit for
incidental take of the Delhi Sands
flower-loving fly. The draft EA
considers the environmental effects
associated with the City’s
implementation of the proposed West
Valley HCP, as well as the measures the
City will undertake to minimize and
mitigate the effects of incidental take to
the maximum extent practicable. We
provide the analysis in the draft EA to
inform the public of the proposed
action, alternatives, and associated
impacts; and to disclose the direct,
indirect, and cumulative environmental
effects of the proposed action and each
of the alternatives. We request public
comment on the draft EA and proposed
West Valley HCP for the City’s proposed
activities.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the

the National Environmental Policy Act
of 1969, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et
seq.; NEPA), and NEPA implementing
regulations in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) at 40 CFR 1506.6, as
well as the availability of the City’s
10(a)(1)(B) permit application in
compliance with section 10(c) of the
Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973,
as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). The
draft EA considers the environmental
effects associated with issuing the City’s
requested incidental take permit and
implementation of the proposed West
Valley HCP, including impacts to the
endangered Delhi Sands flower-loving
fly (Rhaphiomidas terminatus
abdominalis).
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Background
Section 9 of the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531
et seq.) and Federal regulations at 50
CFR part 17 prohibit the ‘‘take’’ of fish
and wildlife species listed as
endangered or threatened. Take of listed
fish and wildlife is defined under the
Act as to ‘‘harass, harm, pursue, hunt,
shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or
collect listed animal species, or to
attempt to engage in such conduct’’ (16
U.S.C. 1538). Harm includes significant
habitat modification or degradation that
results in death or injury to listed
species by significantly impairing
essential behavioral patterns, including
breeding, feeding, or sheltering (50 CFR
17.3). Under limited circumstances, we
may issue permits to authorize
incidental take of listed wildlife species,
which the Act defines as take that is
incidental to, and not the purpose of,
the carrying out of otherwise lawful
activities.
Regulations governing incidental take
permits for threatened and endangered
species are at 50 CFR 17.32 and 17.22,
respectively. In addition to meeting
