AGENCY:
We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (Service), have received
an application from the Oregon
Department of Transportation (ODOT)
for an incidental take permit (permit)
under the Endangered Species Act
(ESA) of 1973, as amended. The ODOT’s
SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 238001
application requests a 25-year permit
that would authorize ‘‘take’’ of the
endangered Fender’s blue butterfly and
the threatened Oregon silverspot
butterfly incidental to otherwise lawful
activities associated with road right-ofway (ROW) maintenance and
management activities. The application
includes ODOT’s draft habitat
conservation plan (HCP), which
describes the actions ODOT will
implement to minimize and mitigate the
impacts of incidental take caused by
covered activities. We invite comment
on the application, draft HCP, and the
Service’s draft environmental action
statement (EAS) and preliminary
determination that the draft HCP
qualifies for a categorical exclusion
under the National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA).
DATES: Written comments on the draft
HCP and the NEPA categorical
exclusion determination must be
received from interested parties no later
than November 4, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Section 9 of the ESA (16 U.S.C. 1531
et seq.) prohibits the take of fish and
wildlife species listed as endangered or
threatened under section 4 of the ESA.
Under the ESA, the term ‘‘take’’ means
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(19)). The term
‘‘harm,’’ as defined in our regulations,
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). The term
‘‘harass’’ is defined in our regulations as
an intentional or negligent act or
omission which creates the likelihood of
injury to wildlife by annoying it to such
an extent as to significantly disrupt
normal behavioral patterns, which
include, but are not limited to, breeding,
feeding, or sheltering (50 CFR 17.3).
Under specified circumstances, the
Service may issue permits that authorize
take of federally listed species, provided
the take is incidental to, but not the
purpose of, an otherwise lawful activity.
Regulations governing permits for
endangered and threatened species are
at 50 CFR 17.22 and 17.32, respectively.
Section 10(a)(1)(B) of the ESA contains
provisions for issuing such incidental
take permits to non-Federal entities for
the take of endangered and threatened
species, provided the following criteria
are met:
(1) The taking will be incidental;
(2) The applicant will prepare a
conservation plan that, to the maximum
extent practicable, identifies the steps
the applicant will take to minimize and
mitigate the impact of such taking;
(3) The applicant will ensure that
adequate funding for the plan will be
provided;
(4) The taking will not appreciably
reduce the likelihood of the survival
and recovery of the species in the wild;
and
(5) The applicant will carry out any
other measures that the Service may
