We are especially interested in public
comment addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether or not the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) How might the agency minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.
Comments that you submit in

Abstract: As wind energy production
increased, both developers and wildlife
agencies recognized the need for a
system to evaluate and address the
potential negative impacts of wind
energy projects on species of concern.
As a result, the Service worked with the
wind energy industry, conservation
nongovernmental organizations, Federal
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:30 Dec 21, 2020
Jkt 253001
and State agencies, Tribes, and
academia to develop the voluntary
Land-Based Wind Energy Guidelines
(Guidelines; https://www.fws.gov/
windenergy) to provide a structured,
scientific process for addressing wildlife
conservation concerns at all stages of
land-based wind energy development.
Released in 2012, the Guidelines
promote effective communication
among wind energy developers and
Federal, State, Tribal, and local
conservation agencies. When used in
concert with appropriate regulatory
tools, the Guidelines are the best
practical approach for conserving
species of concern.
The Guidelines discuss various risks
to species of concern from wind energy
projects, including collisions with wind
turbines and associated infrastructure;
loss and degradation of habitat from
turbines and infrastructure;
fragmentation of large habitat blocks
into smaller segments that may not
support sensitive species; displacement
and behavioral changes; and indirect
effects such as increased predator
populations or introduction of invasive
plants. The Guidelines assist developers
in identifying species of concern that
may potentially be affected by proposed
projects, including but not limited to:
• Migratory birds;
• Bats;
• Bald and golden eagles, and other
birds of prey;
• Prairie chickens and sage grouse;
and
• Species that have been identified as
candidates, or proposed or listed under
the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
The Guidelines follow a tiered
approach. The wind energy developer
begins at Tier 1 or Tier 2, which entails
gathering of existing data to help
identify any potential risks to wildlife
and their habitats at proposed wind
energy project sites. The developer then
proceeds through subsequent tiers, as
appropriate, to collect information in
increasing detail until the level of risk
is adequately ascertained to inform the
developer’s decision on whether or not
to develop the site. Many projects may
not proceed beyond Tier 1 or 2, when
developers become aware of potential
barriers, including high risks to wildlife.
Developers would only have an interest
in adhering to the Guidelines for those
projects that proceed beyond Tier 1 or
2.
At each tier, wind energy developers
and operators should retain
documentation to provide to the
Service. Such documentation may
include copies of correspondence with
the Service, results of pre- and post-
PO 00000
Frm 00099
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
construction studies conducted at
project sites, bird and bat conservation
strategies, or any other record that
supports a developer’s adherence to the
Guidelines. The extent of the
documentation will depend on the
conditions of the site being developed.
Sites with greater risk of impacts to
wildlife and habitats will likely involve
more extensive communication with the
Service and longer durations of pre- and
post-construction studies than sites with
little risk.
Distributed or community-scale wind
energy projects are unlikely to have
significant adverse impacts to wildlife
and their habitats. The Guidelines
recommend that developers of these
small-scale projects conduct the desktop
analysis described in Tier 1 or Tier 2
using publicly available information to
determine whether they should
communicate with the Service. Since
such project designs usually include a
single turbine associated with existing
development, conducting a Tier 1 or
Tier 2 analysis for distributed or
community-scale wind energy projects
should incur limited non-hour burden
costs. For such projects, if there is no
potential risk identified, a developer
will have no need to communicate with
the Service regarding the project or to
conduct studies described in Tiers 3, 4,
and 5.
Adherence to the Guidelines is
voluntary. Following the Guidelines
does not relieve any individual,
company, or agency of the responsibility
to comply with applicable laws and
regulations (i.e., species protected by
the Endangered Species Act and/or Bald
and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16
U.S.C. 668–668c)).
This information collection was first
approved by OMB in 2012 and
subsequently renewed twice, in 2015
and 2018.

Recovery Planning
Section 4(f) of the Endangered Species
Act of 1973, as amended (Act; 16 U.S.C.
1531 et seq.), requires the development
of recovery plans for listed species,
unless such a plan would not promote
the conservation of a particular species.
Also pursuant to section 4(f) of the Act,
a recovery plan must, to the maximum
extent practicable, include (1) a
description of site-specific management
actions as may be necessary to achieve
the plan’s goals for the conservation and
survival of the species; (2) objective,
measurable criteria that, when met,
would support a determination under
section 4(a)(1) that the species should be
removed from the List of Endangered
and Threatened Species; and (3)
estimates of the time and costs required
to carry out those measures needed to
achieve the plan’s goal and to achieve
intermediate steps toward that goal.
Species Background
The Ozark hellbender is endemic to
the White River drainage in northern
Arkansas and southern Missouri
(Johnson 2000), historically occurring in
portions of the Spring, White, Black,
Eleven Point, and Current Rivers and
some of their tributaries (Bryant Creek,
the North Fork White River, and Jacks
Fork) (LaClaire 1993). Currently,
populations of Ozark hellbenders are
known to occur in Bryant Creek, the
North Fork White River, the Eleven
Point River, and the Current River, with
