SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice advises the public that the
Oklahoma Department of Wildlife
Conservation (ODWC) has applied to the
Service to amend their existing
enhancement of survival (EOS) permit
pursuant to section 10(a)(1)(A) of the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.),
and the associated Agricultural
Candidate Conservation Agreement with
Assurances (CCAA) for Lesser Prairie
Chickens in Oklahoma. The permit
application includes the CCAA
amendment and the draft screening
form supporting a categorical exclusion
in accordance with the requirements of
the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA; 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.). We are
making the permit application package
available for public review and
comment.
Background
Under a CCAA, the participants
voluntarily undertake management
activities on their properties to enhance,
restore, or maintain habitat benefiting
species that are proposed for listing
under the ESA, candidates for listing, or
species that may become candidates or
proposed for listing. Enhancement of
survival permits are issued to the
applicants in association with approved
CCAAs to authorize incidental take of
the covered species from conservation
measures and ongoing activities on the
enrolled lands that are identified in the
CCAA. Through the CCAA and the
associated EOS permit, the Service
provides assurances to enrolled
property owners that they will not be
subjected to increased land use
restrictions if the covered species
become listed under the ESA in the
future, provided certain conditions are
met.
Application requirements and
issuance criteria for EOS permits for
CCAAs are found in the Code of
Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR
17.22(d)(2)(ii) and 17.32(d)(2)(ii), for
species that may become listed as
endangered and threatened under the
ESA, respectively. See also the joint
policy on CCAAs, which was published
