Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 176 / Monday, September 12, 2016 / Notices
sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
its draft HCP, as part of the application
for an ITP, which describes the
measures the applicant has agreed to
take to avoid, minimize, and mitigate
the effects of the incidental take of
American burying beetles (Nicrophorus
americanus; ABB; covered species) to
the maximum extent practicable
pursuant to section 10(a)(1)(B) of the
Act.
The requested permit would authorize
incidental take of the ABB as a result of
the construction of two segments along
2.11 miles of the Talawanda to
McAlester transmission line in Pittsburg
County, OK (Permit Area), as a result of
activities associated with the applicant’s
construction and maintenance activities
(covered activities). Such actions may
require disturbance within potential
American burying beetle habitat.
American Electric Power has proposed
to mitigate the impacts to 13.07 acres of
suitable habitat for the American
burying beetle, including 10.42 acres of
temporary impacts, 2.65 acres of
permanent cover change (changing of
vegetative successional stage, but
remaining as suitable ABB habitat), and
0.006 acres of permanent change
(changing of ABB habitat from suitable
to non-suitable). These habitat acres will
be mitigated in perpetuity according to
Service-approved mitigation ratios
through the purchase of credits at an
approved conservation bank for ABB.
Additionally, avoidance and
minimization measures will be
implemented including limiting
clearing in temporary work areas, relief
of soil compaction, and revegetation of
temporary and permanent cover change
impacts with native vegetation after
construction is completed.
Section 9 of the Act and its
implementing regulations prohibit
‘‘take’’ of fish and wildlife species listed
as threatened or endangered under
section 4 of the Act. However, section
10(a) of the Act authorizes us to issue
permits to take listed wildlife species
where such take is incidental to, and not
the purpose of, otherwise lawful
activities and where the applicant meets
certain statutory requirements.
