their entirety. Comments and materials
we receive will be available for public
inspection by appointment, during
normal business hours, at our Pacific
Islands Fish and Wildlife Office (see
ADDRESSES).
Next Steps
After public review we will assess the
comments received and finalize the EA;
we will determine whether the
proposed action warrants a finding of no
significant impact or whether an
environmental impact statement should
be prepared. We will evaluate each
permit application, associated
documents, and any comments
received, to determine whether the
permit application meets the
requirements of section 10(a)(1)(B) of
the ESA. We will also evaluate whether
issuance of the requested section
10(a)(1)(B) permit would comply with
section 7 of the ESA by conducting an
intra-Service section 7 consultation
under section 7(a)(2) of the ESA on
anticipated ITP actions. The final NEPA
and permit determinations will not be
completed until after the end of the 30day comment period and will fully
consider all comments received during
the comment period. If we determine
that all requirements are met, we will
issue an ITP under section 10(a)(1)(B) of
the ESA to each individual applicant for
the take of the covered species,
incidental to otherwise lawful covered
activities.
Authority
We provide this notice in accordance
with the requirements of section 10(c) of
the ESA (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and
NEPA (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), and their
implementing regulations (at 50 CFR
17.22 and 17.32 and 40 CFR 1506.6,
respectively).
