Applicant’s Proposed Project
We received an application for an ITP,
along with a proposed HCP. The
applicant requests a 2-year permit under
section 10(a)(1)(B) of the ESA (16 U.S.C.
1531 et seq.). If we issue the permit, the
applicant anticipates taking 1.41 acres
of scrub-jay breeding, feeding, and
sheltering habitat for construction of six
single-family residences and associated
infrastructure in North Port, Sarasota
County, Florida.
The applicant proposes to mitigate for
the loss of 1.41 acres of occupied scrubjay habitat through the purchase of 2.82
credits from a Service-approved
conservation bank within 30 days of
permit issuance.

Our Preliminary Determination
The Service has made a preliminary
determination that the applicant’s
project, including the proposed
mitigation and minimization measures,
will individually and cumulatively have
a minor or negligible effect on the
species covered in the HCP. Therefore,
issuance of the ITP is a ‘‘low-effect’’
action and qualifies as a categorical
exclusion under the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), as
provided by 43 CFR 46.205 and 46.210.
A low-effect HCP is one involving; (1)
minor or negligible effects on federally
listed, proposed, and candidate species
and their habitats; (2) minor or
negligible effects on other
environmental values or resources; and
(3) impacts when, considered together
with the impacts of other past, present,
and reasonably foreseeable similarly
situated projects, would not result over
time in cumulative effects to
environmental values or resources that
would be considered significant.
Next Steps
We will evaluate the HCP and
comments we receive to determine
whether the ITP application meets the
requirements of section 10(a)(1)(B) of
the ESA. We will also conduct an intraService consultation to evaluate take of
the scrub-jay in accordance with section
7 of the ESA. We will use the results of

the consultation, in combination with
the above findings, in our analysis of
whether or not to issue the ITP. If the
requirements are met we will issue ITP
number TE84046C–0 to the applicant.
Authority
We provide this notice under Section
10 of the ESA (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)
and NEPA regulations (40 CFR 1506.6).
