Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 199 / Tuesday, October 17, 2023 / Notices
1766. Individuals in the United States
who are deaf, deafblind, hard of hearing,
or have a speech disability may dial 711
(TTY, TDD, or TeleBraille) to access
telecommunications relay services.
Individuals outside the United States
should use the relay services offered
within their country to make
international calls to the point-ofcontact in the United States.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service),
announce receipt of an application from
the County of Santa Cruz (applicant) for
renewal by 20 years of an existing
incidental take permit under the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (Act; 16 U.S.C. et seq.). If
approved for renewal, the permit would
continue to authorize take of the
federally endangered Mount Hermon
June beetle (Polyphylla barbata) that is
incidental to otherwise lawful activities
associated with the approved Interim
Programmatic Habitat Conservation Plan
for the Endangered Mount Hermon June
Beetle and Ben Lomond Spineflower
(HCP). The applicant has agreed to
update mitigation measure 5.2.2.2 in the
HCP to ensure that impacts to the
species’ habitat are commensurately
offset through the protection of habitat
at a 3 to 1 ratio (i.e., habitat protected
to habitat disturbed). The applicant also
agreed to follow all other existing HCP
conditions. If the permit is renewed, no
additional take above the original
authorized limit of 139 acres of habitat,
using habitat as a surrogate for take, will
be authorized. We invite comment on
the application, HCP, and associated
documents from the public and local,
State, Tribe, and Federal agencies.

Background
The Mount Hermon June beetle was
listed by the Service as endangered on
January 24, 1997 (62 FR 3616). The Ben
Lomond spineflower (Chorizanthe
pungens var. hartwegiana) was listed by
the Service as endangered on February
4, 1994 (59 FR 5499). Section 9 of the
Act and its implementing regulations
prohibit the ‘‘take’’ of fish or wildlife
species listed as endangered or
threatened. ‘‘Take’’ is defined under the
Act to include the following activities:
‘‘[T]o 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); however,
under section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Act, we
may issue permits to authorize
incidental take of listed wildlife species.
‘‘Incidental take’’ is defined by the Act
as take that is incidental to, and not the
purpose of, carrying out of an otherwise
lawful activity. Regulations governing
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:02 Oct 16, 2023
Jkt 262001
incidental take permits for threatened
and endangered species are,
respectively, in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR 17.32 and
17.22. Under the Act, protections for
federally listed plants differ from the
protections afforded to federally listed
animals. Take of listed plant species is
not prohibited under the Act and cannot
be authorized under a section 10 permit.
However, listed plant species may be
included on an incidental take permit in
recognition of the conservation benefit
provided to them under an HCP.
Issuance of an incidental take permit
also must not jeopardize the existence of
federally listed fish, wildlife, or plant
species. All species included in the
incidental take permit would receive
assurances under our ‘‘No Surprises’’
regulations (50 CFR 17.22(b)(5) and
17.32(b)(5)).
The applicant has applied for renewal
of their permit for incidental take of the
endangered Mount Hermon June beetle.
The potential taking would occur by
activities associated with the
construction of certain eligible small
development projects in densely
developed residential neighborhoods (as
defined in the HCP) that support
suitable habitat for the covered species.
The 10 project units within the HCP
boundary were identified within the
communities of Ben Lomond, Felton,
Mount Hermon, and Scotts Valley in
Santa Cruz County, California.
Incidental take permits were first issued
for the HCP on October 27, 2011 (76 FR
17664; March 30, 2011), and renewed
on June 30, 2018 (83 FR 17837; April 24,
2018).
Our Preliminary Determination Under
the National Environmental Policy Act
Based on a preliminary review, the
Service anticipates the original National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
review for the HCP permit in 2011
remains valid and accurate. That
analysis concluded that issuance of the
permit is not a major Federal action that
will significantly affect the quality of
the human environment within the
meaning of section 102(2)(C) of NEPA.
Therefore, the Service anticipates the
permit renewal is consistent with our
original analysis pursuant to the
Council on Environmental Quality’s
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) regulations, the Department of
the Interior’s (DOI) NEPA regulations
(43 CFR 46), and the DOI’s
Departmental Manual (516 DM
8.5(C)(2)).
