SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background Section 9 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), and its implementing regulations prohibit the ‘‘take’’ of animal species listed as endangered or threatened. ‘‘Take’’ is defined under the ESA as to ‘‘harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect [listed animal species], or to attempt to engage in such conduct’’ (16 U.S.C. 1538). However, under section 10(a) of the ESA, we may issue permits to authorize incidental take of listed species. ‘‘Incidental take’’ is defined by the ESA as take that is incidental to, and not the purpose of, carrying out an otherwise lawful activity. Regulations governing incidental take permits (ITP) for endangered and threatened species, respectively, are found in the Code of Federal Regulations at 50 CFR 17.22 and 50 CFR 17.32. PO 00000 Frm 00070 41655 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 The applicant requests a 6-year ITP for take of four bat species, including the federally protected Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis) and northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis), the tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavus), which is proposed for listing, and the little brown bat (Myotis lucifugus), which is being considered for listing. These species are hereafter referred to as ‘‘covered species.’’ The applicant determined that wind farm activities on this land are reasonably certain to result in incidental take of these species. The activity that could result in incidental take of the covered species is the operation of 60 wind turbines occurring in McDonough and Warrant Counties, Illinois, on private land. The estimated level of take from the project is up to 240 Indiana bats, 6 northern long-eared bats, 18 tricolored bats, and 18 little brown bats over the 6-year project duration. The proposed conservation strategy in the applicant’s proposed HCP is designed to avoid, minimize, and mitigate the impacts of the covered activity on the covered species. The biological goals and objectives are to minimize potential take of the covered species through on-site minimization measures and to provide habitat conservation measures to offset any impacts from operations of the project. On-site minimization measures include feathering turbine blades under specific conditions that are associated with high bat use of the project area, as measured with acoustic bat detectors at the project. To offset the impacts of the taking of the covered species, the applicant proposes to conserve bat habitat by purchasing credits from a bat conservation bank in Illinois or through individually sponsored habitat projects. The Service requests public comments on the permit application, which includes a proposed HCP, and an EA prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA; 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.). The applicant’s HCP describes the activities that will be undertaken to implement the project, as well as the mitigation and minimization measures proposed to address the impacts to the covered species. Pursuant to NEPA, the EA analyzes the impacts the ITP issuance would have on the covered species and the environment. National Environmental Policy Act Issuance of an ITP is a Federal action that triggers the need for compliance with NEPA. We prepared a draft EA that analyzes the environmental impacts on E:\FR\FM\27JNN1.SGM 27JNN1
