Enhancement of Survival Permit; Draft
Mitchell’s Satyr Safe Harbor
Agreement
Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Receipt of application; request
for comment.
AGENCY:
We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (Service), have received
an application from the East Lansing
Field Office Project Leader for an
Enhancement of Survival Permit
(permit) under the Endangered Species
Act of 1973, as amended (ESA). The
application includes a draft Safe Harbor
Agreement to facilitate reintroduction
and recovery of the Federally
endangered Mitchell’s satyr butterfly on
non-Federal land in Michigan and
Indiana. We have made a preliminary
determination that the Safe Harbor
Agreement and permit application are
eligible for a categorical exclusion under
the National Environmental Policy Act
of 1969 (NEPA). The basis for this
determination is contained in a loweffect screening form, which is available
for public review. We are accepting
comments on the permit application
and draft Safe Harbor Agreement.
DATES: To ensure consideration, please
send your written comments on or
before June 27, 2016.

Document Availability: The draft Safe
Harbor Agreement, permit application,
and low-effect screening form are

Background Information
Under a Safe Harbor Agreement,
participating landowners voluntarily
undertake conservation activities on
their property to benefit species listed
under the ESA (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
The Safe Harbor Agreement and
associated permit authorize
participating landowners to incidentally
take Federally listed species that may
result from implementation of
conservation activities beneficial to the
species. The Safe Harbor Agreement
also provides participating landowners
assurances that no further land, water,
or resource-use restrictions, or
additional commitments of land, water,
or finances, would be imposed beyond
those agreed to in the Safe Harbor
Agreement, including the option to
return their land to the baseline
condition established at the time of the
Safe Harbor Agreement. Application
requirements and issuance criteria for
enhancement of survival permits
through Safe Harbor Agreements are
found in Service regulations at 50 CFR
17.22 and 17.32.
Mitchell’s Satyr Butterfly Draft Safe
Harbor Agreement
We have developed the Draft Safe
Harbor Agreement to incentivize certain
non-Federal landowners in Michigan
and Indiana to volunteer their land for
conservation activities beneficial to the
Mitchell’s satyr butterfly. Under the
proposed Safe Harbor Agreement, we
would issue a permit to the East Lansing
Field Office Project Leader, who would
then convey the permits incidental take
authorization and assurances to willing
landowners through Certificates of
Inclusion, for the purpose of facilitating
recovery of the Mitchell’s satyr
butterfly. Consistent with the Safe
Harbor Policy (June 17, 1999, 64 FR
32717) and section 7 of the ESA, we
would also provide neighboring
landowners with incidental take
authorization through the section 7
biological opinion, and assurances to
those neighboring landowners who
participate under the Safe Harbor
Agreement.
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 238001
To enroll in the Safe Harbor
Agreement, an eligible landowner
would voluntarily work with the Project
Leader at the East Lansing Field Office
to develop a Mitchell’s satyr butterfly
reintroduction plan for their property.
Each reintroduction plan would identify
a conservation zone, consisting mainly
of suitable fen habitat for the Mitchell’s
satyr butterfly, and where habitat
management activities would occur.
Each reintroduction plan would have a
term of 10 to 20 years within the
duration of the proposed Safe Harbor
Agreement, which is 30 years.
identifying information, may be made
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.
Species Information
The Mitchell’s satyr butterfly
population has been in serious decline
for years. The species was once found
in 30 locations across Michigan,
Indiana, and Ohio, with several disjunct
populations in New Jersey and possibly
Maryland. Currently, Mitchell’s satyr
butterflies occur at 10 sites in Michigan
and 1 site in Indiana. Since the species
was listed in 1991, additional
populations have been discovered in
Virginia, Alabama, and Mississippi;
however, genetic studies are
inconclusive on the taxonomic
relationships of these southern
populations to the Michigan and
Indiana populations (Hamm 2012). The
Service’s Recovery Plan for the
Mitchell’s satyr butterfly calls for the
establishment of 25 geographically
distinct viable populations, including
specific actions to facilitate propagation
and reintroduction activities across its
historic range.
Dated: May 6, 2016.

Assistant Regional Director, Ecological
Services, Midwest Region.
Next Steps
We will evaluate the permit
application, associated documents, and
comments we receive to determine
whether the permit application meets
the requirements of the ESA, NEPA, and
their implementing regulations. If we
determine that all requirements are met,
we will sign the proposed Safe Harbor
Agreement and issue a permit under
section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA to the
East Lansing Field Office Project Leader.
We will not make our final decision on
the permit application until after the
end of the public comment period, and
we will fully consider all comments we
receive during the comment period.
