Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 43 / Monday, March 8, 2021 / Notices
terms to the ODF for incidental take of
covered species from covered activities
in the plan area. The plan area includes
all state forestlands west of the Cascade
Range that are managed by ODF, a total
of 733,695 acres (about 2969.16 km2).
The permit area is defined as the
portion of the plan area that ODF
currently controls and where all covered
activities would occur and conservation
actions would apply. The covered
activities are the projects and activities
for which ODF is requesting take
authorization. The covered activities
include the ODF’s forest and recreation
management activities in the permit
area as well as the activities needed to
carry out ODF’s proposed conservation
strategy. Broad categories of covered
activities include stand management,
road system management, recreation
infrastructure construction and
maintenance, and HCP conservation
actions. Covered species under the
proposed WOSF HCP include
threatened and endangered species
listed under the ESA, and currently
unlisted species that have the potential
to become listed during the life of the
HCP. Incidental take coverage is being
sought by ODF for covered species.
More information on covered activities
and the species for which ODF is
seeking incidental take coverage is
provided in the draft HCP, available at
https://www.oregon.gov/ODF/
AboutODF/Pages/HCP-initiative.aspx.
We will consider the Proposed Action
and the No Action Alternative as well
as being open to considering what ideas
the public may bring forward during the
scoping process. We are using this
process to seek alternatives, which may
include, but are not limited to variation
in the length of the permit term; adding
or removing some of the covered
species; the level of take allowed; the
level, location, or type of minimization,
mitigation, or monitoring provided
under the HCP; the scope of covered
activities; the location, amount or type
of conservation, or similar aspects of the
permit conditions.

Summary of Expected Impacts
Incidental take is expected to occur
due to the covered activities under the
proposed action. Expected impacts are
less than what occurs under ODFs
current timber/land management
practices. ODF is proposing a
conservation strategy as part of their
HCP that is intended to fully offset the
impacts of the take.
Anticipated Permits and Authorizations
The following permits, consultations,
or other authorizations are anticipated

Schedule for the Decision-Making
Process
Information on the proposed NEPA
schedule can be found at: https://
www.fisheries.noaa.gov/action/noticeintent-prepare-environmental-impactstatement-western-oregon-state-foresthabitat.
Public Scoping Process
This notice of intent initiates the
scoping process, which guides the
development of the EIS. NMFS is
hosting a public webinar for
informational purposes, including a
question and answer session, within the
scoping period. Information on the
webinar date and time, and instructions
for connecting or calling into the
webinar will be posted at: https://
www.fisheries.noaa.gov/action/noticeintent-prepare-environmental-impactstatement-western-oregon-state-foresthabitat. Accommodations for persons
with disabilities are available;
accommodation requests should be
directed to Michelle McMullin at least
10 working days prior to the webinar.
Public comments will not be accepted
during the webinar.
Request for Identification of Potential
Alternatives, Information, and
Analyses Relevant to the Proposed
Action
The primary purpose of the scoping
process is for the public to assist NMFS
in developing the EIS. NMFS requests
that the comments be specific. In
particular, we request information
regarding: Any science that is relevant
and not yet incorporated, any
interpretation of science that is different
than what is presented; significant
issues; identification of impacts that are
not fully off-set; review and input
regarding monitoring; possible
alternatives that meet the purpose and
need; effects or impacts to the human
environment from the proposed action
or alternatives; and potential terms and
conditions that may minimize adverse
effects, including time or area
restrictions or both to reduce
environmental impacts.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The MidAtlantic Fishery Management Council
(Council) and the Atlantic States Marine
Fisheries Commission (Commission) are
developing a joint action to address the
overfished status via a rebuilding plan,
as well as consider adjusting the
bluefish fishery management plan goals
and objectives, sector allocations,
commercial allocations to the states,
transfer processes, the approach to
account for management uncertainty,
and the de minimis provisions. The
commercial and recreational allocations
are currently based on historical
landings from 1981–1989. Recent
changes in how recreational catch is
estimated have resulted in a
discrepancy between the current levels
of estimated recreational harvest and the
allocations to the recreational sector.
This action will consider whether
modifications to the allocations are
needed in light of these and other
changes in the fisheries. Additional
information on this action is available
at: https://www.mafmc.org/actions/
bluefish-allocation-amendment.
The dates and times of the five
webinar hearings are listed below. You
are encouraged to participate in the
hearing for your state or region;
however, all hearings are open to all
individuals.

Georgia, and Florida: Wednesday,
