We have
received two applications from Pacific
Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) for
two 20-year incidental take permits
(ITPs) under the Endangered Species
Act of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16
U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). The applications
address the potential for ‘‘take’’ of the
federally endangered Mount Hermon
June beetle (Polyphylla barbata) and
Santa Cruz long-toed salamander
(Ambystoma macrodactylum croceum),
and the federally threatened California
red-legged frog (Rana draytonii) likely
to occur incidental to the initial removal
and ongoing periodic management of
vegetation that occurs over and along
two separate natural gas pipelines. The
first proposed habitat conservation plan
(HCP), referred to in this document as
the Sandhills HCP, concerns the natural
gas pipeline located along Graham Hill
Road, Santa Cruz County, California,
and occurs within habitat for the Mount
Hermon June beetle. The second HCP,
referred to as the North Coast HCP,
concerns a natural gas pipeline that
traverses portions of Santa Cruz and

Permit action
Monterey Counties and occurs within
habitat of the Santa Cruz long-toed
salamander and California red-legged
frog. We invite comments from the
public on the application packages,
which include two proposed low-effect
HCPs. The proposed actions have been
determined to be eligible for categorical
exclusions under the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA; 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), as
amended.
Background
Section 9 of the ESA and its
implementing regulations prohibit the
take of fish or wildlife species listed as
endangered or threatened. ‘‘Take’’ is
defined under the ESA to include the
following activities: ‘‘to 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 ESA, we may issue
permits to authorize incidental take of
listed species. ‘‘Incidental Take’’ is
defined as take that is incidental to, and
not the purpose of, the carrying out of
an otherwise lawful activity (50 CFR
17.3). Regulations governing incidental
take permits for threatened and
endangered species are provided at 50
CFR 17.32 and 17.22, respectively.
Issuance of an incidental take permit
must not jeopardize the existence of
federally listed fish, wildlife, or plant
species.
Applicant’s Proposal
PG&E (hereafter, the applicant) has
submitted two low-effect HCPs in
support of their applications for
incidental take permits (ITPs) to address
take of the Mount Hermon June beetle,
Santa Cruz long-toed salamander, and
the California red-legged frog. The
Sandhills HCP addresses take of the
Mount Hermon June beetle that is likely
to occur as the result of direct impacts
on up to 2.9 acres (ac) of habitat that is
occupied by the species. The North

Endangered Species; Recovery Permit Applications
AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of receipt of permit applications; request for comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, invite the public to
comment on the following applications to conduct certain activities
with endangered species. With some exceptions, the Endangered Species
Act (ESA) prohibits activities with listed species unless a Federal
permit is issued that allows such activities. The ESA requires that we
invite public comment before issuing these permits.
DATES: We must receive written data or comments on the applications at
the address given in ADDRESSES by July 6, 2018.
ADDRESSES:
Reviewing Documents: Documents and other information submitted with
the applications are available for review, subject to the requirements
of the Privacy Act and Freedom of Information Act. Submit a request for
a copy of such documents to Karen Marlowe, 404-679-7097 (telephone) or
404-679-7081 (fax); [email protected].
Submitting Comments: If you wish to comment, you may submit
comments by any one of the following methods:
U.S. mail or hand-delivery: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
Regional Office, Ecological Services, 1875 Century Boulevard, Atlanta,
GA 30345 (Attn: Karen Marlowe, Permit Coordinator).
Email: [email protected]. Please include your name and
return address in your email message. If you do not receive a
confirmation from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that we have
received your email message, contact us directly at the telephone
number listed in FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Karen Marlowe, Permit Coordinator,
404-679-7097 (telephone) or 404-679-7081 (fax).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We invite review and comment from local,
State, and Federal agencies and the public on applications we have
received for permits to conduct certain activities with endangered and
threatened species under section 10(a)(1)(A) of the Endangered Species
Act of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), and our
regulations in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR part 17.
With some exceptions, the ESA prohibits activities that constitute take
of listed species unless a Federal permit is issued that allows such
activities. The ESA's definition of ``take'' includes hunting,
shooting, harming, wounding, or killing and also such activities as
pursuing, harassing, trapping, capturing, or collecting.
[[Page 26299]]
A recovery permit issued by us under section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA
authorizes the permittee to conduct activities with endangered or
threatened species for scientific purposes that promote recovery or for
enhancement of propagation or survival of the species. These activities
often include such prohibited actions as capture and collection. Our
regulations implementing section 10(a)(1)(A) for these permits are
found at 50 CFR 17.22 for endangered wildlife species, 50 CFR 17.32 for
threatened wildlife species, 50 CFR 17.62 for endangered plant species,
and 50 CFR 17.72 for threatened plant species.
Permit Applications Available for Review and Comment
Proposed activities in the following permit requests are for the
recovery and enhancement of propagation or survival of the species in
the wild. The ESA requires that we invite public comment before issuing
these permits. Accordingly, we invite local, State, Tribal, and Federal
agencies and the public to submit written data, views, or arguments
with respect to these applications. The comments and recommendations
that will be most useful and likely to influence agency decisions are
those supported by quantitative information or studies.
Before including your address, phone number, email address, or
other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be
aware that your entire comment--including your personal identifying
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 review, we cannot guarantee that we will be
able to do so.
