The applicant has agreed to follow all of the conditions in the habitat conservation plan for the project. The permit would authorize take of the Santa Barbara distinct population segment of the federally endangered California tiger salamander (Ambystoma californiense), as well as the threatened California red-legged frog (Rana draytonii), incidental to otherwise lawful activities associated with the Cal Coast Pipeline Replacement Project Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP). We invite public comment on the application, the draft habitat conservation plan, draft low-effect screening form, and environmental action statement. Background The Santa Barbara distinct population segment of the California tiger salamander was listed by the Service as endangered on January 19, 2000 (65 FR 3096). The California red-legged frog was listed by the Service as threatened on May 23, 1996 (61 FR 25813). Section 9 of the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and its implementing regulations prohibit the ‘‘take’’ of fish or wildlife species listed as endangered or threatened. ‘‘Take’’ is defined under the Act to include the following activities: ‘‘[T]o 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); however, under section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Act, we may issue permits to authorize incidental take of listed species. ‘‘Incidental take’’ is defined by the Act as take that is incidental to, and not the purpose of, carrying out of an otherwise lawful activity. Regulations governing incidental take permits for threatened and endangered species are in the Code of Federal Regulations at 50 CFR 17.32 and 17.22, respectively. Under the Act, protections for federally listed plants differ from the protections afforded to federally listed animals. Issuance of an incidental take permit also must not jeopardize the existence of federally listed fish, wildlife, or plant species. All species included in the incidental take permit would receive assurances under our ‘‘No Surprises’’ regulations (50 CFR 17.22(b)(5) and 17.32(b)(5)). The applicants have applied for a permit for incidental take of the California tiger salamander and California red-legged frog. The potential taking would occur as a result of activities associated with the VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:42 Apr 24, 2017 Jkt 241001 construction of the new Cal Coast Pipeline in suitable habitat for the covered species. Our Preliminary Determination The Service has made a preliminary determination that issuance of the permit is neither a major Federal action that will significantly affect the quality of the human environment within the meaning of section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.; NEPA), nor will it individually or cumulatively have more than a negligible effect on the species covered in the HCP. Therefore, the permit qualifies for a categorical exclusion under NEPA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

[[Page 19078]]

have received an application from Phillips 66 Pipeline, LLC 
(applicant), for an incidental take permit under the Endangered Species 
Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.; Act). The applicant 
has agreed to follow all of the conditions in the habitat conservation 
plan for the project. The permit would authorize take of the Santa 
Barbara distinct population segment of the federally endangered 
California tiger salamander (Ambystoma californiense), as well as the 
threatened California red-legged frog (Rana draytonii), incidental to 
otherwise lawful activities associated with the Cal Coast Pipeline 
Replacement Project Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP). We invite public 
comment on the application, the draft habitat conservation plan, draft 
low-effect screening form, and environmental action statement.

Background

    The Santa Barbara distinct population segment of the California 
tiger salamander was listed by the Service as endangered on January 19, 
2000 (65 FR 3096). The California red-legged frog was listed by the 
Service as threatened on May 23, 1996 (61 FR 25813). Section 9 of the 
Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and its implementing regulations prohibit 
the ``take'' of fish or wildlife species listed as endangered or 
threatened. ``Take'' is defined under the Act to include the following 
activities: ``[T]o 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); however, under section 10(a)(1)(B) of the 
Act, we may issue permits to authorize incidental take of listed 
species. ``Incidental take'' is defined by the Act as take that is 
incidental to, and not the purpose of, carrying out of an otherwise 
lawful activity. Regulations governing incidental take permits for 
threatened and endangered species are in the Code of Federal 
Regulations at 50 CFR 17.32 and 17.22, respectively. Under the Act, 
protections for federally listed plants differ from the protections 
afforded to federally listed animals. Issuance of an incidental take 
permit also must not jeopardize the existence of federally listed fish, 
wildlife, or plant species. All species included in the incidental take 
permit would receive assurances under our ``No Surprises'' regulations 
(50 CFR 17.22(b)(5) and 17.32(b)(5)).
    The applicants have applied for a permit for incidental take of the 
California tiger salamander and California red-legged frog. The 
potential taking would occur as a result of activities associated with 
the construction of the new Cal Coast Pipeline in suitable habitat for 
the covered species.

Our Preliminary Determination

    The Service has made a preliminary determination that issuance of 
the permit is neither a major Federal action that will significantly 
affect the quality of the human environment within the meaning of 
section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 
4321 et seq.; NEPA), nor will it individually or cumulatively have more 
than a negligible effect on the species covered in the HCP. Therefore, 
the permit qualifies for a categorical exclusion under NEPA.

Public Comments

    If you wish to comment on the permit application, plan, and 
associated documents, you may submit comments by any one of the methods 
in ADDRESSES.

Public Availability of Comments

    Before including your address, phone number, email address, or 
other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be

information, may be made publicly available at any time. While you can 
ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying 
information from public view, we cannot guarantee that we will be able
