SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG)
program is authorized by section 302 of
the Native American Housing
Assistance and Self Determination Act
of 1996 (NAHASDA). Under the Indian
Housing Block Grant (IHBG) program,
codified in 24 CFR part 1000.302,
Indian tribes can request an expansion
of their Formula Area that overlaps with
another tribe’s Formula Area. In
accordance with 24 CFR 1000.326(a)(3),
which became effective on December
22, 2016, State tribes are eligible to
request and receive Formula Area that
were already assigned to Federally
recognized tribes. According to
§ 1000.326(a)(3), when a State
recognized tribe’s Formula Area
overlaps with the Formula Area of a
Federally recognized Indian tribe, the
Federally recognized Indian tribe
receives the allocation for the Formula
Area up to its population cap, and the
State recognized tribe receives the
balance of the overlapping area (if any)
up to its population cap.
Pursuant to 24 CFR 1000.302, if a
tribe asks HUD for an expansion of their
Formula Area, after HUD makes its
preliminary determination, HUD must
notify all potentially affected Indian
tribes of the basis for its preliminary
determination by certified mail and
provide the Indian tribes with
opportunity to comment for a period of
not less than 90 days. After
consideration of the comments,
§ 1000.302 requires HUD to publish the
notice of final determination in the
Federal Register.
On March 14, 2017, the MOWA Band
of Choctaw Indian Tribe, a State
recognized tribe, requested that their
Formula Area be expanded to include
the balance of Mobile County in the
State of Alabama starting in Fiscal Year
(FY) 2017. The portion of the county
which is not reservation and trust lands
is referred to as the balance of county.
The Formula Area expansion requested
by the MOWA Band of Choctaw Indian
Tribe results in an overlapping Formula
Area with the Poarch Creek Tribe, a
Federally recognized tribe. In
accordance with § 1000.326(a)(3), HUD
made a preliminary determination on
December 4, 2017, that the MOWA Band
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:03 Apr 23, 2018
Jkt 244001
of Choctaw Indian Tribe meets the
requirements for expanding its Formula
Area to include the balance of Mobile
County, Alabama. In accordance with
§ 1000.302, HUD notified the Poarch
Creek Tribe about the basis for its
preliminary determination by certified
mail and provided opportunity to
comment for a period of not less than
90 days. The required notification was
sent to the Poarch Creek Tribe on
December 4, 2017. As of March 5, 2018,
no comments were received. Therefore,
HUD made a final determination to add
the balance of Mobile County, Alabama
to the MOWA Band of Choctaw Indian
Tribe’s Formula Area starting in FY
2017. The Tribe submitted their request
for FY 2017 determination, therefore
this final determination will apply to
the Tribe’s request retroactively.

original authorized limit of 139 acres of
habitat will be authorized. The permits
would authorize take of the federally
endangered Mount Hermon June beetle,
incidental to otherwise lawful activities
associated with the Interim
Programmatic Habitat Conservation Plan
for the Endangered Mount Hermon June
beetle and Ben Lomond spineflower.
DATES: Written comments should be
received on or before May 24, 2018.

the permit renewal applications and the
habitat conservation plan (HCP) on the
internet at https://www.fws.gov/ventura/,

TE43708A–0 and TE44928A–0, U.S.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Chad Mitcham, Fish and Wildlife
Biologist, by mail to the address in
ADDRESSES or by phone at (805) 677–
3328.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We have
received requests from the County of
Santa Cruz and City of Scotts Valley
(applicants) for renewal of incidental
take permits TE43708A–0 and
TE44928A–0 under the Endangered
Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act).
The applicants have requested renewals
that would extend permit authorization
by 5 years from the date the permit is
reissued. The applicants have agreed to
follow all of the existing habitat
conservation plan conditions. If
renewed, no additional take above the
original authorized limit of 139 acres of
habitat will be authorized. The permits
would authorize take of the federally
endangered Mount Hermon June beetle
(Polyphylla barbata), incidental to
otherwise lawful activities associated
with the Interim Programmatic Habitat
Conservation Plan for the Endangered
Mount Hermon June Beetle and Ben
Lomond Spineflower (HCP).
Background
The Mount Hermon June beetle was
listed by the Service as endangered on
January 24, 1997. The Ben Lomond
spineflower (Chorizanther pungens var.
hartwegiana) was listed by the Service
as endangered on February 4, 1994.
Section 9 of the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et
seq.) and its implementing regulations
PO 00000
Frm 00050
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

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 wildlife 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. The Code of Federal
Regulations provides regulations
governing incidental take permits for
threatened and endangered species 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.
Take of listed plant species is not
prohibited under the Act and cannot be
authorized under a section 10 permit.
Listed plant species may be included on
an incidental take permit in recognition
of the conservation benefit provided to
them under an HCP. 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
renewal of their respective permits for
incidental take of the endangered Mount
Hermon June beetle. The potential
taking would occur by activities
associated with the construction of
certain eligible small development
projects in densely developed
residential neighborhoods (as defined in
the HCP) that support suitable habitat
for the covered species. The 10 Project
Units within the HCP boundary were
identified within the communities of
Ben Lomond, Felton, Mount Hermon,
and Scotts Valley in Santa Cruz County,
California. Incidental take permits were
first issued for the HCP on October 27,
2011.

applications, plans, and associated
