Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 81 / Thursday, April 27, 2023 / Notices
Manual. A ‘‘low-effect’’ incidental take
permit is one that would result in (1)
minor or negligible effects on species
covered in the HCP; (2) nonsignificant
effects on the human environment; and
(3) impacts that, when added together
with the impacts of other past, present,
and reasonable foreseeable actions,
would not result in significant
cumulative effects to the human
environment.
Next Steps
The Service will evaluate the
application and the comments to
determine whether to issue the
requested ITP. We will also conduct an
intra-Service consultation pursuant to
section 7 of the ESA to evaluate the
effects of the proposed take. After
considering the preceding and other
matters, we will determine whether the
permit issuance criteria of section
10(a)(1)(B) of the ESA have been met. If
met, the Service will issue ITP number
PER 0124344 to Lake County.
Authority
The Service provides this notice
under section 10(c) of the Endangered
Species Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and
its implementing regulations (50 CFR
17.32) and the National Environmental
Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and
its implementing regulations (40 CFR
1500–1508 and 43 CFR 46).

in the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR) at 50 CFR part 17. Documents and
other information submitted with the

subject to the requirements of the
Privacy Act and the Freedom of

Background
The Endangered Species Act of 1973,
as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et
seq.), prohibits certain activities with
endangered and threatened species
unless authorized by a Federal permit.
The ESA and our implementing
regulations in part 17 of title 50 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
provide for the issuance of such permits
and require that we invite public
comment before issuing permits for
activities involving endangered species.
A recovery permit issued by us under
section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA
authorizes the permittee to conduct
activities with endangered species for
scientific purposes that promote
recovery or for enhancement of
propagation or survival of the species.
Our regulations implementing section
10(a)(1)(A) for these permits are found
at 50 CFR 17.22 for endangered wildlife
species, 50 CFR 17.32 for threatened
wildlife species, 50 CFR 17.62 for
endangered plant species, and 50 CFR
17.72 for threatened plant species.

public comment before issuing these

the public to submit written data, views,

applications. The comments and

useful and likely to influence agency
decisions are those supported by
quantitative information or studies.
Proposed activities in the following
permit requests are for the recovery and
enhancement of propagation or survival
of the species in the wild.
