by the PCSRs. In addition, TSA follows
up via email with owner/operators on
specific recommendations made by TSA
during the PCSR.
When combined with information
from other companies across the sector,
TSA can identify and develop
recommended smart practices and
security recommendations for the
pipeline mode. This information allows
TSA to adapt programs to the changing
security threat, while incorporating an
understanding of the improvements
owners/operators make in their security
measures. Without this information, the
ability of TSA to perform its security
mission would be severely hindered.
Portions of PCSR responses that are
deemed Sensitive Security Information
(SSI) are protected in accordance with
procedures meeting the transmission,
handling, and storage requirements of
SSI set forth in 49 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) parts 15 and 1520.
The annual hour burden for this
information collection is estimated to be
between 180 and 220 hours based upon
20 PCSR visits per year, each lasting a
total of eight hours and the follow-up
regarding security recommendations,
lasting approximately one to three
hours.

Background
threatened species are set forth in title
50 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR) at part 17, section 17.32.
NEPA (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) requires
a detailed environmental impact
statement (EIS) for major Federal actions
that significantly affect the quality of the
human environment. An agency may
use an environmental assessment (EA)
to inform a decision as to whether to
complete an EIS, or it can establish
categories of actions that individually or
cumulatively generally do not have
significant effects on the human
environment and do not require either
an EA or an EIS. For this permit
application, the Service has
preliminarily determined that the
issuance of the ITP is not a major
Federal action that will significantly
affect the quality of the human
environment, nor will it individually or
cumulatively have more than a
negligible effect on the species covered
by the HCP, and should therefore be
categorically excluded from further
NEPA analysis as a low-effect HCP (see
table below).The project occurs on land
parcels zoned light industrial or mixed
use, and the area has been impacted by
prior disturbances such as a nowabandoned airfield, off-road use, trash
dumping, and target shooting.
Vegetation within the majority of the
site (95 acres) will be mowed or
trimmed, rather than bladed or graded,
and site fencing will include openings
to allow tortoises to enter and exit the
facility after construction. Photovoltaic
(PV) panels will be installed at a greater
height than the industry standard, and
panel spacing will be increased to
facilitate optimum vegetative growth,
which will help to maintain future
habitat connectivity for wildlife
following construction.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, have
received an application from Canyon Mesa Solar, LLC for a 30-year
incidental take permit (permit) under the Endangered Species Act of
1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). The requested permit
would authorize take of the threatened Mojave desert tortoise (Gopherus

qualifies as a categorical exclusion under the National Environmental

the permit application, proposed low-effect HCP, and draft NEPA
compliance documentation.
Background
Section 9 of the ESA prohibits take of fish and wildlife species
listed as endangered (16 U.S.C. 1538). Although not listed as
endangered, the Mojave desert tortoise was listed as threatened on
April 2, 1990 (55 FR 12178), with an accompanying ESA section 4(d) rule
(16 U.S.C. 1533(d)), which applies the same take prohibitions for an
endangered species to the threatened tortoise.
Under section 10(a)(1)(B) of the ESA (16 U.S.C. 1539(a)(1)(B)), we
may issue permits to authorize take of listed fish and wildlife species
that is incidental to, and not the purpose of, carrying out an
otherwise lawful activity. Regulations governing permits for threatened
species are set forth in title 50 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR) at part 17, section 17.32.
NEPA (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) requires a detailed environmental
impact statement (EIS) for major Federal actions that significantly
affect the quality of the human environment. An agency may use an
environmental assessment (EA) to inform a decision as to whether to
complete an EIS, or it can establish categories of actions that
individually or cumulatively generally do not have significant effects
on the human environment and do not require either an EA or an EIS. For
this permit application, the Service has preliminarily determined that
the issuance of the ITP is not a major Federal action that will
significantly affect the quality of the human environment, nor will it
individually or cumulatively have more than a negligible effect on the
species covered by the HCP, and should therefore be categorically
excluded from further NEPA analysis as a low-effect HCP (see table
below).The project occurs on land parcels zoned light industrial or
mixed use, and the area has been impacted by prior disturbances such as
a now-abandoned airfield, off-road use, trash dumping, and target
