SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), 
announce receipt of four incidental take permit (ITP) applications and 
four habitat conservation plans (HCPs). Each of the four applicants 
requests an ITP under section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Endangered Species Act 
of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). The applicants and 
potential ITP numbers are:
     Tohopekaliga Water Authority (TE69950C-0).
     Mystic Dunes, LLC (TE69951C-0).
     Clay Cut, LLC (TE69952C-0).
     Land Acquisition One, LLC (TE69953C-0).
    Each applicant seeks authority to take sand skink (Neoseps 
reynoldsi) and blue-tailed mole skink (Eumeces egregius) via 
destruction of the species' feeding, breeding, and sheltering habitat 
incidental to land preparation and construction in Polk and Osceola 
Counties, Florida. The applicants' proposed HCPs provide measures to 
mitigate for the effects of their respective construction activities on 
the species, which were federally-listed as threatened in 1987 
(November 6, 1987; 52 FR 42658).

Applicants' Proposed Projects

     Tohopekaliga Water Authority (TE69950C-0) anticipates 
taking 2.2 acres of species' habitat, incidental to land preparation 
and construction in Sections 10 and 11, Township 25 South, Range 28 
East, in Polk County, Florida.
     Mystic Dunes, LLC (ITP TE69951C-0) anticipates taking 6.7 
acres of species' habitat incidental to land preparation and 
construction in Section 15, Township 25 South, Range 27 East, in 
Osceola County, Florida.

[[Page 31416]]

     Clay Cut, LLC (ITP TE69952C-0) anticipates taking 8.6 
acres of species' habitat incidental to land preparation and 
construction in Section 3, Township 27 South, Range 28 East, in Polk 
County, Florida.
     Land Acquisition One, LLC (ITP TE69953C-0) anticipates 
taking 11.2 acres of species' habitat incidental to land preparation 
and construction in Sections 18 and 19, Township 25 South, Range 27 
East, in Osceola County, Florida.
    None of the applicants currently has a timeframe for development or 
specific site plans; however, each applicant intends to develop its 
parcel by constructing one or more structures and parking areas and 
installing associated utilities.
    The applicants propose to mitigate for impacts to the species by 
purchasing credits from a Service-approved conservation bank as 
follows:
     Tohopekaliga Water Authority proposes to purchase the 
equivalent of 4.4 acres of credits.
     Mystic Dunes, LLC proposes to purchase the equivalent of 
13.4 acres of credits.
     Clay Cut, LLC proposes to purchase the equivalent of 17.2 
acres of credits.
     Land Acquisition One, LLC proposes to purchase the 
equivalent of 22.4 acres of credits.

Our Preliminary Determination

    The Service has made a preliminary determination that each of the 
applicants' projects, including the mitigation measures, will 
individually and cumulatively have a minor or negligible effect on the 
species. Therefore, we have determined that the ITPs for each of these 
projects would be ``low effect'' and qualify for categorical exclusions 
under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA; 42 U.S.C. 4321 et 
seq.).
