Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 151 / Wednesday, August 5, 2020 / Notices
BB Groves, LLC (applicant) for an
incidental take permit (ITP) under the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
The applicant requests the ITP to take
the federally listed sand skink (Neoseps
reynoldsi) incidental to the construction
of a housing development (project) in
Orange County, Florida. We request
public comment on the application,
which includes the applicant’s
proposed habitat conservation plan
(HCP), and the Service’s preliminary
determination that this HCP qualifies as
‘‘low-effect,’’ categorically excluded,
under the National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA; 42 U.S.C. 4231 et
seq.). To make this determination, we
used our environmental action
statement and low-effect screening form,
which are also available for public
review.

Project
BB Groves, LLC requests a 5-year ITP
to take sand skinks through the
conversion of approximately 13.15 acres
of occupied skink foraging and
sheltering habitat for the construction of
a housing development located on a
120.18-acre parcel in Sections 30 and
31; Township 24 South; Range 27 East,
Orange County, Florida. The applicant
proposes to mitigate for take of the sand
skinks by purchasing 26.30 credits from
a Service-approved conservation bank.
The Service would require the applicant
to make this purchase prior to engaging
in activities associated with the project.

minor or negligible effects on other
environmental values or resources; and
(3) impacts that, when considered
together with the impacts of other past,
present, and reasonably foreseeable
similarly situated projects, would not
result in significant cumulative effects
to environmental values or resources
over time.
Next Steps
The Service will evaluate the
application and the 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 preceding findings, we
will determine whether the permit
issuance criteria of section 10(a)(1)(B) of
the ESA have been met. If met, the
Service will issue ITP number TE
75283D–0 to BB Groves, LLC.

Our Preliminary Determination
The Service has made a preliminary
determination that the applicant’s
project, including land clearing,
infrastructure building, landscaping,
and the proposed mitigation measures,
would individually and cumulatively
have a minor or negligible effect on sand
skinks and the environment. Therefore,
we have preliminarily concluded that
the ITP for this project would qualify for
categorical exclusion and the HCP is
low effect under our NEPA regulations
at 43 CFR 426.3005 and 426.3010. A
low-effect HCP is one that would result
in (1) minor or negligible effects on
federally listed, proposed, and

various recreation activities on BLMadministered public lands and related
waters. The BLM is adjusting the
minimum fee for commercial,
competitive, and organized group
activities and events, and assigned sites.

business hours. The Service is available
24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to leave
a message or question. You will receive
a reply during normal business hours.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 43 CFR
2932.31 authorizes the BLM Director to
periodically adjust SRP fees. This notice
establishes that effective immediately,
the SRP minimum fee for commercial
use is $115 per year (an increase from
$110). The minimum fee for both
competitive events and organized group
activities remains $6 per person per day,
and the minimum fee for an assigned
site for exclusive commercial use is
$230 per site (an increase from $220).
Individual States also have the option of
imposing application fees as a matter of
cost recovery and/or establishing higher
minimum fees for SRPs. The next fee
adjustment is scheduled for March 1,
2023.
The intended effect of the fee
calculation process is to ensure that fees
cover administrative costs of permit
issuance, provide a fair return to the
U.S. Government for use of the public
lands, and reflect fair market value. The
BLM, in coordination with the U.S.
Forest Service, adjusts the minimum
commercial, competitive, organized
group and activity special recreation
permit fees, and minimum assigned site
fees every 3 years.
These fees are calculated and adjusted
based on the change in the Implicit
Price Deflator-Gross Domestic Product
Index (IPD–GDP). The IPD–GDP is also
available from the U.S. Department of
Commerce, Bureau of Economic
Analysis, at the following website:
