SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Introduction Indiana bats were listed as an endangered species under the ESA in 1967. The decline of this species has historically been attributed to loss and degradation of winter hibernation habitat and summer roosting habitat, human disturbance during hibernation, and possibly pesticides. A recent new threat to Indiana bats is white-nose syndrome (WNS), a disease caused by the fungus Pseudogymnoascus destructans. WNS has caused significant population declines throughout much of the Indiana bat’s range, particularly in the Northeast and Appalachian regions. The DoF conducts management activities on 13 State Forests and 2 State Recreation Areas covering approximately 158,000 acres of stateowned forest land in Indiana. These activities include maintenance of recreation trails, timber harvest, tree plantings, prescribed burning, and the use of specific chemicals such as herbicides and fertilizers. Management activities on these lands are designed for long-term sustainability and to enhance forest health and diversity, create wildlife habitat, provide recreational opportunities and to generate revenue from timber harvests that contribute to PO 00000 Frm 00067 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 local and state economies. While many forest management activities benefit the conservation and recovery of the Indiana bat, some activities may adversely impact this species and their habitat during certain life stages. The net effect of forest management on Indiana bats may vary depending on the type, scale, and timing of various practices. Unlike forest conversion where habitat is permanently removed, the DoF’s forest management practices are designed to promote and sustain suitable forested bat habitat on the landscape, and adverse impacts typically are temporary in nature. The primary potential benefit of forest management to the species is perpetuating forests on the landscape that provide suitable roosting and foraging habitat. Impacts from timber harvest, which can range from the selective removal of individual trees to small clearcuts, can range from positive (e.g., maintaining or increasing suitable roosting and foraging habitat within Indiana bat home ranges) to neutral (e.g., minor amounts of timber harvest, areas outside Indiana bats summer home ranges, away from hibernacula) to negative (e.g., death of adult female bats and/or pups resulting from accidental felling of occupied maternity roost trees). Therefore, the DoF is developing a Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) in support of an ITP that would authorize the incidental take of Indiana bats from certain forest management activities on State Forest lands within the State of Indiana. The HCP will incorporate avoidance, minimization, mitigation, monitoring, and reporting measures aimed at addressing the impact of take caused by certain forest and property management activities occurring on approximately 158,000 acres of state-owned land managed by the DoF. The forest and property management activities included in the DoF HCP are timber harvesting, prescribed burning, timber stand improvement, and the construction and maintenance of roads, trails, and recreation and operational facilities. Potential measures to avoid, minimize, and mitigate impacts to Indiana bats may include, but are not limited to, retention of potential roost trees, sustained supply of future roost trees, protection of known roost trees, leave-tree designation near perennial streams, seasonal tree-felling restrictions around known hibernacula, and setback distances for the protection of hibernacula entrances. The requested term of the ITP is 20 years. E:\FR\FM\19SEN1.SGM 19SEN1
