SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service),
received an application for an incidental
take permit (ITP) pursuant to section
10(a)(1)(B) of the Endangered Species
Act of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16
U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). The ITP would
authorize the applicant’s ‘‘take’’ of the
Yelm subspecies of the Mazama pocket
gopher (Thomomys mazama yelmensis),
listed as threatened under the ESA,
incidental to otherwise lawful
construction and maintenance activities
at Saint Martin’s University in Thurston
County, Washington. The application
includes a habitat conservation plan
(HCP) that describes actions the
applicant will take to minimize and
mitigate the impacts of the taking on the
Yelm pocket gopher (the covered
species). We have also prepared a draft
environmental action statement (EAS)
for our preliminary determination that
the HCP and our permit decision may be
eligible for a categorical exclusion under
the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA; 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.). We
provide this notice to open a public
comment period and invite comments
from all interested parties regarding the

Background
Section 9 of the ESA prohibits ‘‘take’’
of fish and wildlife species listed as
endangered or threatened. Under the
ESA, the term ‘‘take’’ means to harass,
harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill,
trap, capture, or collect, or to attempt to
engage in any such conduct (16 U.S.C.
1532(19)). The term ‘‘harm,’’ as defined
in our regulations, includes significant
habitat modification or degradation that
results in death or injury to listed
species by significantly impairing
essential behavioral patterns, including
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 256001
breeding, feeding, or sheltering (50 CFR
17.3).
Section 10(a)(1)(B) of the ESA
contains provisions that authorize the
Service to issue permits to non-Federal
entities for the take of endangered and
threatened species caused by otherwise
lawful activities, provided the following
criteria are met: (1) The taking will be
incidental; (2) the applicant will, to the
maximum extent practicable, minimize
and mitigate the impact of such taking;
(3) the applicant will ensure that
adequate funding for the plan will be
provided; (4) the taking will not
appreciably reduce the likelihood of the
survival and recovery of the species in
the wild; and (5) the applicant will carry
out any other measures that the Service
may require as being necessary or
appropriate for the purposes of the plan.
Regulations governing permits for
endangered and threatened species are
found at 50 CFR 17.22 and 17.32,
respectively.
Proposed Action
The applicant proposes to construct
and maintain facilities on the existing
Saint Martin’s University campus in
Thurston County, Washington. The HCP
plan area is a 232-acre (ac) area. As
described in the HCP, within the plan
area, the 139-ac redevelopment area
(permit area) contains 3.4 ac of occupied
Yelm pocket gopher habitat, 1.4 ac of
unoccupied Yelm pocket gopher habitat,
7.1 ac of landscaped trees and shrubs,
68.4 ac of developed buildings and
infrastructure, and 0.7 ac of stormwater
facilities, while the remaining 57.5 ac is
forest, and not habitat. Proposed
covered activities include construction
within the 139-ac permit area during the
20-year permit term that may include
construction and maintenance of up to
six new buildings; replacement of
existing buildings; construction and
maintenance of associated parking lots,
sidewalks, landscaping, storm water
facilities, and utilities; and landscaping
and management of athletic fields. The
final number of buildings and activities
are currently unknown, and building
will be in response to University growth
and student body needs, so the HCP
describes the maximum amount of
proposed construction and maintenance
activity likely to occur during the
permit term.
The proposed action is anticipated to
impact up to 12 ac of Yelm pocket
gopher habitat in the permit area. Due
to differences in Yelm pocket gopher
occupancy, the applicant has proposed
a functional-ac system to quantify the
impacts to the Yelm pocket gopher at
the project site, based on the extent and
permanence of impacts to ac of habitat.
PO 00000
Frm 00039
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
In this system, acreages are weighted
according to Yelm pocket gopher
occupancy, existing habitat quality, and
land development. The resulting value
is 4 functional ac of impact, out of the
original 12 ac of Yelm pocket gopher
habitat in the redevelopment area. The
plan area also includes 26 ac of Yelm
pocket gopher habitat outside of the
redevelopment area on fields that are
maintained by mowing.
The applicant proposes to mitigate for
unavoidable impacts to Yelm pocket
gopher by acquiring credits in the
Service-approved Leitner Prairie
conservation site, which is currently
occupied by the Yelm pocket gopher.
These credits will fully fund the
permanent management, monitoring,
and adaptive management on 4 ac of the
Leitner Prairie conservation site. The
conservation site will be managed for
successful Yelm pocket gopher feeding,
breeding, and sheltering.
In addition to mitigation at the
conservation site, 26 ac of grassland
habitat occupied by Yelm pocket
gophers will be maintained on the
project site by mowing during the 20year permit term to provide additional
mitigation. This mitigation offsets the
impact of the taking attributable to the
project site being located outside of the
service area where the conservation site
is located. Service areas are geographic
areas we have defined to recognize
possible differences between
subpopulations within the range of the
Yelm pocket gopher.
The Service proposes to issue the
requested 20-year ITP based on the
applicant’s commitment to implement
the HCP, if ESA section 10(a)(2)(B)
permit issuance criteria are met.

ACTION: Notice of availability; request
for comments.
AGENCY:
This notice advises the public
that LPC Conservation LLC (applicant)
has applied to the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (Service) for an
incidental take permit (ITP) supported
by the Oil and Gas Habitat Conservation
Plan for the Lesser Prairie-chicken;
Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico,
Oklahoma and Texas (HCP). The
applicant has applied to the Service for
the ITP pursuant to the Endangered
Species Act. The requested ITP, if
approved, would authorize incidental
take of the lesser prairie-chicken
(Tympanuchus pallidicinctus; LEPC)
resulting from activities covered by the
HCP (e.g., all activities associated with
oil and gas upstream and midstream
buildout, including ancillary (e.g.,
access road) ground disturbing activities
associated with these project types) and
would authorize incidental take
resulting from conservation actions
taken to avoid, minimize, and mitigate
impacts of incidental take to LEPC that
result from covered activities. If
approved, the requested ITP would
become effective should the LEPC
become federally listed during the life of
the ITP and HCP. With this notice we
announce the availability of a draft
environmental assessment (EA) that has
been prepared to evaluate the ITP
application in accordance with the
requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act. We are
making the ITP application package,
including the HCP and draft EA,
available for public review and
comment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service),
make available the Oil and Gas Habitat
Conservation Plan for the Lesser Prairiechicken; Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico,
Oklahoma and Texas (HCP). The LPC
Conservation LLC (applicant) has
applied for an incidental take permit
(ITP). If approved, the requested ITP
would become effective and authorize
incidental take of the lesser prairiechicken (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus;
LEPC) should the LEPC become
federally listed during the life of the ITP
and HCP under the Endangered Species
Act of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16
U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
We are considering issuing a section
10(a)(1)(B) ITP for the LEPC, a species
that is not currently listed under the
ESA, in response to the applicant’s
application and supporting HCP. While
our 2016 revised HCP handbook
(Handbook) provides guidance that an
ITP and supporting HCP include at least
one ESA-listed animal species, the
issuance of this ITP could provide for
LEPC conservation in several ways.
First, the proposed HCP may meet the
Service’s conservation recommendation
for the LEPC because it emphasizes
avoidance and minimization and
focuses mitigation in areas that can
serve as conservation strongholds for
this species. Depending on enrollment,
this mitigation strategy could help to
preclude the need to list the LEPC or
could help to recover the LEPC, if the
LEPC is listed in the future. Second, the
proposed HCP would provide taxpayer
and industry savings in the use of an
overarching conservation planning
strategy. In contrast, the processes of
developing a candidate conservation
agreement with assurances (CCAA)
prior to a future listing and then
developing an HCP or multiple HCPs
after a potential future listing would be
inefficient for both the Federal agency
and industry participants. The proposed
HCP would be more efficient because
potential participants could enroll on a
project-by-project basis either before or
after a potential future listing. This

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(Service), received an application for an incidental take permit (ITP)
pursuant to section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973,
as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). The ITP would authorize the
applicant's ``take'' of the Yelm subspecies of the Mazama pocket gopher
(Thomomys mazama yelmensis), listed as threatened under the ESA,
incidental to otherwise lawful construction and maintenance activities
at Saint Martin's University in Thurston County, Washington. The
application includes a habitat conservation plan (HCP) that describes
actions the applicant will take to minimize and mitigate the impacts of
the taking on the Yelm pocket gopher (the covered species). We have
also prepared a draft environmental action statement (EAS) for our
preliminary determination that the HCP and our permit decision may be
eligible for a categorical exclusion under the National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA; 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.). We provide this notice to
open a public comment period and invite comments from all interested
parties regarding the documents.
Background
Section 9 of the ESA prohibits ``take'' of fish and wildlife
species listed as endangered or threatened. Under the ESA, the term
``take'' means to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap,
capture, or collect, or to attempt to engage in any such conduct (16
U.S.C. 1532(19)). The term ``harm,'' as defined in our regulations,
includes significant habitat modification or degradation that results
in death or injury to listed species by significantly impairing
essential behavioral patterns, including breeding, feeding, or
sheltering (50 CFR 17.3).
Section 10(a)(1)(B) of the ESA contains provisions that authorize
the Service to issue permits to non-Federal entities for the take of
endangered and threatened species caused by otherwise lawful
activities, provided the following criteria are met: (1) The taking
will be incidental; (2) the applicant will, to the maximum extent
practicable, minimize and mitigate the impact of such taking; (3) the
applicant will ensure that adequate funding for the plan will be
provided; (4) the taking will not appreciably reduce the likelihood of
the survival and recovery of the species in the wild; and (5) the
applicant will carry out any other measures that the Service may
require as being necessary or appropriate for the purposes of the plan.
Regulations governing permits for endangered and threatened species are
found at 50 CFR 17.22 and 17.32, respectively.
Proposed Action
The applicant proposes to construct and maintain facilities on the
existing Saint Martin's University campus in Thurston County,
Washington. The HCP plan area is a 232-acre (ac) area. As described in
the HCP, within the plan area, the 139-ac redevelopment area (permit
area) contains 3.4 ac of occupied Yelm pocket gopher habitat, 1.4 ac of
unoccupied Yelm pocket gopher habitat, 7.1 ac of landscaped trees and
shrubs, 68.4 ac of developed buildings and infrastructure, and 0.7 ac
of stormwater facilities, while the remaining 57.5 ac is forest, and
not habitat. Proposed covered activities include construction within
the 139-ac permit area during the 20-year permit term that may include
construction and maintenance of up to six new buildings; replacement of
existing buildings; construction and maintenance of associated parking
lots, sidewalks, landscaping, storm water facilities, and utilities;
and landscaping and management of athletic fields. The final number of
buildings and activities are currently unknown, and building will be in
response to University growth and student body needs, so the HCP
describes the maximum amount of proposed construction and maintenance
activity likely to occur during the permit term.
The proposed action is anticipated to impact up to 12 ac of Yelm
pocket gopher habitat in the permit area. Due to differences in Yelm
pocket gopher occupancy, the applicant has proposed a functional-ac
system to quantify the impacts to the Yelm pocket gopher at the project
site, based on the extent and permanence of impacts to ac of habitat.
In this system, acreages are weighted according to Yelm pocket gopher
occupancy, existing habitat quality, and land development. The
resulting value is 4 functional ac of impact, out of the original 12 ac
of Yelm pocket gopher habitat in the redevelopment area. The plan area
also includes 26 ac of Yelm pocket gopher habitat outside of the
redevelopment area on fields that are maintained by mowing.
The applicant proposes to mitigate for unavoidable impacts to Yelm
pocket gopher by acquiring credits in the Service-approved Leitner
Prairie conservation site, which is currently occupied by the Yelm
pocket gopher. These credits will fully fund the permanent management,
monitoring, and adaptive management on 4 ac of the Leitner Prairie
conservation site. The conservation site will be managed for successful
Yelm pocket gopher feeding, breeding, and sheltering.
In addition to mitigation at the conservation site, 26 ac of
grassland habitat occupied by Yelm pocket gophers will be maintained on
the project site by mowing during the 20-year permit term to provide
additional mitigation. This mitigation offsets the impact of the taking
attributable to the project site being located outside of the service
area where the conservation site is located. Service areas are
geographic areas we have defined to recognize possible differences
between subpopulations within the range of the Yelm pocket gopher.
The Service proposes to issue the requested 20-year ITP based on
the applicant's commitment to implement the HCP, if ESA section
10(a)(2)(B) permit issuance criteria are met.
Public Comments
You may submit your comments and materials by one of the methods
listed in ADDRESSES. We specifically request information, views, and
suggestions from interested parties regarding our proposed Federal
action, including, without limitation, adequacy of the HCP, whether the
HCP meets requirements for permits at 50 CFR parts 13 and 17, and
adequacy of the EAS pursuant to the requirements of NEPA. We will post
all comments on https://www.regulations.gov. This generally means that
we will post online any personal information that you provide (see
Public Availability of Comments under SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION). We
request that you submit comments by only the methods described above.

associated with this action. Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other personally identifiable information in
your comments, you should be aware that your entire comment--including
your personally identifiable information--may be made publicly
available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold
your personally identifiable information from public review, we cannot
guarantee that we will be able to do so. All submissions from
organizations or businesses, and from individuals identifying
themselves as representatives or officials of organizations or
businesses, will be made available for public disclosure in their
entirety on https://www.regulations.gov.
Next Steps
After public review, we will evaluate the permit application,
associated documents, and any comments received to determine whether
the permit application meets the requirements of section 10(a)(2)(B) of
the ESA. We will also evaluate whether issuance of the requested
section 10(a)(1)(B) permit would comply with section 7 of the ESA by
conducting an intra-Service section 7 consultation under section
7(a)(2) of the ESA on the proposed ITP action. The final NEPA and
permit determinations will not be completed until after the end of the
30-day comment period; we will fully consider all comments received
during the comment period. If we determine that all requirements are
met, we will issue an ITP under section 10(A)(1)(B) of the ESA to the
applicant for the take of the covered species, incidental to otherwise
lawful covered activities.
Authority
We provide this notice in accordance with the requirements of
section 10(c) of the ESA (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and its implementing
regulations (50 CFR 17.32), and NEPA (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and its
implementing regulations (40 CFR 1506.6 and 43 CFR 46.205).
