Notice is hereby given that
NMFS has issued one Incidental Take
Permit and one Enhancement of
Survival Permit to Sierra Pacific Land &
Timber Company (SPL&T) for the Sierra
Pacific Industries Habitat Conservation
Plan (HCP) and Safe Harbor Agreement
(SHA). The HCP/SHA was submitted
pursuant to the Endangered Species Act
(ESA) of 1973, as amended. NMFS has
also prepared a Final Environmental
Assessment (EA) and a Finding of No
Significant Impact (FONSI) under the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) associated with NMFS’ issuance
of the Permits for the HCP/SHA. The
Permits authorize incidental take of
ESA-listed species as set forth in the
HCP/SHA for a 50-year period.
DATES: The Incidental Take Permit (No.
24396) and the Enhancement of
Survival Permit (No. 24397) were issued
to SPL&T on September 29, 2021.
Subsequent to issuance, the necessary
countersignatures by the applicants
were received on October 4, 2021. The
expiration date of the permits is October
4, 2071. The issued permits are subject
to certain conditions set forth therein.
ADDRESSES: The permits, the Final EA
and FONSI, and other related
documents available on the NMFS West
Coast Region website at: https://

SUMMARY:
ESA-Listed Species Covered in This
Notice
Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus
tshawytscha), (Evolutionary
Significant Unit [ESU]): Central
Valley spring-run ESU, and
Sacramento River winter-run ESU
Coho salmon (O. kisutch), (ESU):

Coast ESU
Steelhead (O. mykiss), (Distinct
Population Segment [DPS]): California

Background
SPL&T is the largest private forest
landowner in the state of California,
with ownership currently encompassing
approximately 1.79 million acres of
timberland throughout the northern and
central portions of the state. Sierra
Pacific Industries (SPI) is the authorized
representative and manager of SPL&T
lands. Rivers and streams on portions of
SPL&T lands in the Trinity River and
PO 00000
Frm 00015
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

Sacramento River basins provide habitat
for anadromous salmonids, including
species listed under the ESA. SPI’s
forestland management activities have
the potential to adversely affect fish
species and their habitats that are listed,
or may be listed, under the ESA.
Proposed activities under the permits
include those activities necessary to
implement the forestland management
program, in addition to certain
mitigation and conservation measures
identified in the HCP/SHA.
Section 10(a)(1)(B) of the ESA
authorizes NMFS to issue an Incidental
Take Permit to non-Federal parties for
the potential incidental taking of
endangered and threatened species. The
HCP provides an assessment of impacts,
measures to monitor, minimize, and
mitigate for those impacts, and
procedures to account for unforeseen or
extraordinary circumstances. Under the
HCP, SPI will follow the Z’Berg-Nejedly
Forest Practice Act and relevant public
resource codes, including the current
California Forest Practice Rules (CFPRs)
for each year of the permit period. SPI
fully complies with the CFPRs, which
set prescriptive standards for natural
resource protection minimization
measures for all activities. The CFPRs
set even higher standards for activities
in Anadromous Salmonid Protection
watersheds. SPI will also implement
conservation measures described in the
HCP that are designed to protect
riparian resources and water quality.
The section 10(a)(1)(B) Incidental
Take Permit also covers three species
that are not currently listed under the
ESA: Central Valley fall/late fall-run
Chinook salmon (O. tshawytscha) ESU,
which is designated as species of
concern by NMFS; Upper Klamath/
Trinity Rivers Chinook salmon (O.
tshawytscha) ESU, which is currently
petitioned for listing as threatened or
endangered under the ESA and
endangered under the California
Endangered Species Act; and Klamath
Mountains Province steelhead (O.
mykiss) DPS, which has no current
regulatory status. The non-listed species
identified above do not currently have
protective federal regulations against
take, and a federal permit is not needed
to incidentally take them. However,
there may be a change in listing status
during the permit term. If any of the
above-mentioned non-listed species are
listed as threatened or endangered in
the future, the section 10(a)(1)(B)
Incidental Take Permit would become
effective immediately for these species.
The incidental taking identified in the
SHA is authorized under a section
10(a)(1)(A) Enhancement of Survival
Permit. The SHA addresses potential
