accomplishing the recovery goals for the

protection of habitat.
Public Availability of Comments
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 in your comment
to withhold your personal identifying
information from public view, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
Our Preliminary Determination
The Service has made a preliminary
determination that the applicant’s
proposed project would individually
and cumulatively have a minor effect on
the Morro shoulderband snail and the
human environment. Therefore, we
have preliminarily determined that the
proposed ESA section 10(a)(1)(B) permit
would be a ‘‘low-effect’’ ITP that
individually or cumulatively would
have a minor effect on the species and
may qualify for application of a
categorical exclusion pursuant to the
Council on Environmental Quality’s
NEPA regulations, DOI’s NEPA
regulations, and the DOI Departmental
Manual. A ‘‘low-effect’’ ITP is one that
would result in (1) minor or
nonsignificant 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 received
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 an ITP to the
applicant.
Authority
We provide this notice under section
10(c) of the Endangered Species Act (16
U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and its
implementing regulations (50 CFR 17.22
and 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).
