construction, and the proposed
mitigation, would individually and
cumulatively have a minor or negligible
effect on the gnatcatcher and the
environment. Therefore, we have
preliminarily concluded that the
incidental take permit for this project
would qualify for categorical exclusion
as provided by our NEPA regulations at
43 CFR 46.205, 46.210, and 46.215, and
that the HCP qualifies as a low-effect
plan.
A low-effect HCP is one that would
result in:
• Minor or negligible effects on
federally listed, proposed, and
candidate species and their habitats;
• Minor or negligible effects on other
environmental values or resources; and
• Impacts that, when considered
together with the impacts of other past,
present, and reasonably foreseeable
similarly situated projects, would not
over time result in significant
cumulative effects to environmental
values or resources.
Next Steps
We will evaluate the proposed HCP
and any comments received to
determine whether to issue the
requested permit. We will also conduct
an intra-Service consultation pursuant
to section 7 of the ESA to evaluate the
effects of the proposed take. After
considering the above findings, we will
determine whether the permit issuance
criteria of section 10(a)(1)(B) of the ESA
have been met. If met, we will issue the
permit to the applicant for incidental
take of the gnatcatcher.
Public Availability of Comments
Before including your address, phone

your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may

While you may ask us in your comment

cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.

Abstract: The U.S. Geological Survey
gathers topographic data through the 3D
Elevation Program (3DEP). The primary
goal of 3DEP is to systematically collect
enhanced elevation data in the form of
high-quality light detection and ranging
(lidar) data over the conterminous
United States, Hawaii, and the U.S.
territories, as well as interferometric
synthetic aperture radar (ifsar) data over
Alaska. The implementation model for
3DEP is based on multi-agency
partnership funding for topographic
data acquisition, with the USGS acting
in a lead program management role to

facilitate planning and acquisition for
the broader community, through the use
of government contracts and partnership
agreements. USGS issues cooperative
agreements with partners to collect
topographic data through an annual
Broad Agency Announcement (BAA),
which is a competitive solicitation
issued to facilitate the cooperative
collection of lidar and derived elevation
data for the 3D Elevation Program
(3DEP). It has been included in the
annual Catalog of Domestic Federal
Assistance under USGS 15.8 17. Federal
agencies, state and local governments,
tribes, academic institutions and the
private sector are eligible to submit
proposals. USGS collects information
from applicants about their proposed
topographic data collection, cost sharing
and then uses that information to
determine grant awards.
Title of Collection: Topographic Data
Grants.
OMB Control Number: 1028–0092.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State
and local governments, tribes, academic
institutions and the private sector are
eligible to submit proposals.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: 14.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 188.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: 60 hours to apply for work
order, 1 hour for Monthly report, 20
hours for final report.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 1,634 hours.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
Obtain or Retain a Benefit.
Frequency of Collection: One time
annually.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour
Burden Cost: None.
