acre would consist of restoration and
the other acre would consist of
enhancement. Restoration actions
include removal of woody vegetation
encroachment, removal of
infrastructure, and conversion of
cropland to grasslands. Enhancement
efforts primarily include actions to
maintain or enhance the quality of
existing LEPC habitat, such as
prescribed burning, prescribed grazing,
and chemical and mechanical
manipulation of the vegetative
community. Implementation of the
proposed LEPC habitat conservation
measures are projected to result in no
net loss of LEPC habitat. The ITP would
authorize incidental take that may result
from the implementation of the
proposed conservation measures,
including activities occurring on
mitigation parcels that, while providing
a long-term benefit to LEPC, may have
temporary impacts to the species.
The HCP, including the proposed
conservation measures, was developed
in coordination with the Service.
Implementation of the HCP
requirements, including the
conservation measures, would be
required for all participants in the HCP
regardless of the listing status of the
LEPC. The proposed conservation
measures, once implemented, would
fully offset impacts to the LEPC
associated with habitat loss and
fragmentation resulting from
implementation of the covered
activities.

Alternatives
We are considering two alternatives to
the proposed action as part of this
process: Issue an ESP for a CCAA, and
a No Action Alternative.
1. Issue an Enhancement of Survival
Permit for a Candidate Conservation
Agreement With Assurances
Under this alternative, instead of
approving the HCP and issuing an ITP,
the Service would issue an ESP
pursuant to section 10(a)(1)(A) of the
ESA, supported by a CCAA, to the
applicant for incidental take associated
with the covered activities in the CCAA.
The proposed covered activities in the
CCAA would be the same as those
proposed in the HCP. The permit term
for the ESP would be 30 years. Under
this alternative, it is assumed the
applicant (in the role of CCAA
administrator) would require enrolled
projects to implement all the avoidance,
minimization, mitigation, monitoring,
adaptive management, and reporting
processes described in the HCP as part
of the CCAA. It is anticipated that a
similar level of oil and gas development

Jkt 256001
within the permit area would occur
under an HCP or a CCAA for each
project. However, the enrollment of
projects under the CCAA would end on
the future date of a possible listing of
the covered species, whereas the HCP
enrollment would continue for the
duration of the permit. We anticipate
that this alternative would result in the
same level of potential impacts to LEPC
and the same level of LEPC conservation
as what is proposed in the HCP for those
enrolled prior to listing; however,
projects after a potential listing would
need to develop their own HCPs or find
an alternative coverage for incidental
take. This action would be consistent
with existing Service guidance for
conservation actions of unlisted species.
2. No Action Alternative
Under this alternative, the Service
would not issue an ITP or an ESP, and
therefore this programmatic permitting
structure would not be available for
willing participants. While the LEPC
remains unlisted, potentially
participating entities (i.e., oil and gas
companies) would have little economic
or legal incentive to voluntarily initiate
the conservation or management
activities that are proposed in the HCP
to benefit the LEPC. Therefore, unless
potentially participating entities
voluntarily participate in another
programmatic permitting option, should
one be available, or voluntarily develop
their own standalone permitting option,
conservation measures above and
beyond those directed by existing
Federal, State, and local laws, policies,
or regulations likely would not be
implemented, and the LEPC would not
gain additional protections and
conservation benefits over what
currently exist. On private lands, where
the State or Federal government has no
authority to protect or direct the
management of LEPC habitat, LEPC
conservation programs would be
implemented entirely at the discretion
of the landowners and private
developers.
Next Steps
We will evaluate the permit
application, HCP, associated
documents, and comments we receive to
determine whether the ITP application
meets the requirements of ESA, NEPA,
and implementing regulations, or
whether the issuance of an ESP should
be considered. If we determine that all
requirements are met, we will approve
the HCP and issue the ITP under section
10(a)(1)(B) of the ESA (16 U.S.C. 1531
et seq.) to the applicant in accordance
with the terms of the HCP and specific
terms and conditions of the authorizing

ITP. Alternatively, we could approve
this plan as a CCAA and issue an ESP
under section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA and
applicable regulations if we determine
that all requirements of the ESA, NEPA,
and implementing regulations are met.
We will consider comments on both the
alternative and the denial of issuing a
permit in our final decision. We will not
make our final decision until after the
30-day comment period ends, and we
have fully considered all comments
received during the public comment
period.
Public Availability of Comments
All comments we receive become part
of the public record associated with this
action. Requests for copies of comments
will be handled in accordance with the
Freedom of Information Act, NEPA, and
Service and Department of the Interior
policies and procedures. Before
including your address, phone number,
email address, or other personal
identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask us to withhold your
personal identifying 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.
Authority
We provide this notice under the
authority of section 10(c) of the ESA and
its implementing regulations (50 CFR
17.22 and 50 CFR 17.32) and NEPA (42
U.S.C. 4371 et seq.) and its
implementing regulations (40 CFR
1506.6).
