Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 55 / Tuesday, March 22, 2016 / Notices
Township 30 South, Range 27 East, Polk
County, Florida. The applicant currently
has neither a time frame for
development, nor a specific site plan;
however, development of this parcel
would likely include construction of
one or more structures and a parking
area, and installation of associated
utilities.
The applicant proposes to minimize
impacts to skinks by preserving a total
of 5.08 acres of skink-occupied habitat
off site. The Service listed the skinks as
threatened in 1987 (November 6, 1987;
52 FR 20715), effective December 7,
1987.

Our Preliminary Determination
We have made a preliminary
determination that the applicant’s
project, including the mitigation
measures, will individually and
cumulatively have a minor or negligible
effect on the species covered in the
HCP. Therefore, our proposed issuance
of the requested ITP qualifies as a
categorical exclusion under the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), as
provided by Department of the Interior
implementing regulations in part 46 of
title 43 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (43 CFR 46.205, 46.210, and
46.215). We base our preliminary
determination that issuance of the ITP
qualifies as a low-effect action on the
following three criteria: (1)
Implementation of the project would
result in minor or negligible effects on
federally listed, proposed, and
candidate species and their habitats; (2)
Implementation of the project would
result in minor or negligible effects on
other environmental values or
resources; and (3) Impacts of the project,
considered together with the impacts of
other past, present, and reasonably
foreseeable similarly situated projects,
would not result, over time, in
cumulative effects to environmental
values or resources that would be
considered significant. This preliminary
determination may be revised based on
our review of public comments that we
receive in response to this notice.
Next Steps
We will evaluate the HCP and
comments submitted thereon to
determine whether the application
meets the requirements of section 10(a)
of the Act. 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. The
results of this consultation, in
combination with the above findings,
will be used in the final analysis to
determine whether or not to issue the

Jkt 238001
ITP. If it is determined that the
requirements of the Act are met, the ITP
will be issued.
Authority
We provide this notice under Section
10 of the Endangered Species Act (16
U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and NEPA
regulations (40 CFR 1506.6).
Dated: March 14, 2016.

(45 CFR parts 160 and 164). Form(s):
IHS–810, IHS–912–1, IHS–912–2, IHS–

Information Collection: This collection
of information is made necessary by the
Department of Health and Human
Services Rule entitled ‘‘Standards for
Privacy of Individually Identifiable
Health Information’’ (Privacy Rule) (45
CFR parts 160 and 164). The Privacy
Rule implements the privacy
requirements of the Administrative
Simplification subtitle of the Health
Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act of 1996, creates
national standards to protect
individual’s personal health
information, and gives patients
increased access to their medical
records. 45 CFR 164.508, 164.522,
164.526 and 164.528 of the Rule require
the collection of information to
implement these protection standards
and access requirements. The IHS will
continue to use the following data
collection instruments to meet the
information collection requirements
contained in the Rule.
45 CFR 164.508: This provision
requires covered entities to obtain or
receive a valid authorization for its use
or disclosure of protected health
information for other than treatment,

‘‘Request for Restrictions(s)’’ is used to
document an individual’s request for
restriction of their protected health
information, and whether IHS agreed or
disagreed with the restriction. Section
164.522(a)(2) permits a covered entity to
terminate its agreement to a restriction
if the individual agrees to or requests
the termination in writing. The form
IHS–912–2 ‘‘Request for Revocation of
Restriction(s)’’ is used to document the
agency or individual request to
terminate a formerly agreed to
restriction regarding the use and
disclosure of protected health
information.
45 CFR 164.528 and 45 CFR 5b.9(c):
This provision requires covered entities
to permit individuals to request that the
covered entity provide an accounting of
