Assessment
Fish and Wildlife Service,

ACTION: Notice of availability; request
for comments.
AGENCY:
We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, are making available
for public comment an application from
The Nature Conservancy (TNC) for an
enhancement of survival permit (permit)
under the Endangered Species Act for
take of five species associated with
implementation of a candidate
conservation agreement with assurances
(CCAA) in Montana. The intent of the
CCAA is to provide private landowners
in the coverage area with the
opportunity to voluntarily conserve
covered species and their habitats while
carrying out their operations in a
manner that would contribute to
precluding the need to list the covered
species. Pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act, we have
prepared a draft environmental
assessment (EA) that analyzes the
potential impacts of issuance of the
permit and implementation of the
proposed CCAA, as well as two
alternatives to the proposed action in
the EA. The permit application, the
draft CCAA, and draft EA are available
for public review, and we seek public
comment on these documents and
potential issuance of the permit.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted by October 25, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service),
received and make available for
comment an application from The
Nature Conservancy (TNC). The
application is for an enhancement of
survival permit (permit) under section
10(a)(1)(A) of the Endangered Species
Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531
et seq.; ESA), for potential take of five
species associated with implementation
of a candidate conservation agreement
with assurances (CCAA) in Montana
(coverage area). The coverage area
would be the range of the five species
on privately owned lands in Montana.
The CCAA would cover and include
conservation measures for the greater
sage-grouse (Centrocercus
urophasianus), Baird’s sparrow
(Ammodramus bairdii), chestnutcollared longspur (Calcarius ornatus),
McCown’s longspur (Rhynchophanes
mccownii), and Sprague’s pipit (Anthus
spragueii). The intent of the CCAA is to
provide ranchers and agriculture
producers in the coverage area with the
opportunity to voluntarily conserve the
covered species and their habitat, while
carrying out their operations in a
manner that would provide net
conservation benefit to the species.
Pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C.
4321 et seq.; NEPA), we have prepared
a draft environmental assessment (EA)
that analyzes the potential impacts of
issuance of the permit and
PO 00000
Frm 00097
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

implementation of the proposed CCAA,
as well as two alternatives to the
proposed action. The permit
application, draft CCAA, and EA are
available for public review, and we seek
public comment on these documents
and potential issuance of the permit.
Background Information
A CCAA is an agreement with the
Service in which private and other nonFederal landowners voluntarily agree to
undertake management activities and
conservation efforts on their properties
to enhance, restore, or maintain habitat
to benefit species that are proposed for
listing under the ESA, that are
candidates for listing, or that may
become candidates. The Service works
with these partners to identify threats to
candidate species, plan the measures
needed to address the threats and
conserve these species, identify willing
landowners, develop agreements, and
design and implement conservation
measures and monitor their
effectiveness.
If we approve this CCAA, we will
issue an associated enhancement of
survival permit under section
10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA that authorizes
incidental take resulting from covered
activities should any of the five covered
species addressed in the CCAA become
listed. Through the CCAA and permit,
we also provide assurances to
participating landowners that we will
not impose additional land, water, or
financial commitments, or restrictions
on land, water, or resource use, as a
result of their efforts to attract or
increase the numbers or distribution of
a species on their properties if that
species becomes listed under the ESA in
the future. Application requirements
and issuance criteria for enhancement of
survival permits through a CCAA are
found in 50 CFR 17.22(d) and 17.32(d),
as well as in 50 CFR part 13.
Proposed Action
Under the proposed programmatic
CCAA, enrolled landowners in the
CCAA (participants) would implement
conservation measures that avoid,
minimize, and mitigate impacts to the
covered species and their habitats from
ongoing grazing and range management
activities on enrolled lands. The Service
would issue the permit to TNC, which
would administer the CCAA and enroll
the participants. The CCAA would be in
effect for 20 years. The covered area
would encompass the non-Federal lands
within the range of the covered species
in Montana.
With issuance of the enhancement of
survival permit, the Service would
provide TNC and the participants
