ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
Comments are requested on
proposed flood hazard determinations,
which may include additions or
modifications of any Base Flood
Elevation (BFE), base flood depth,
Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA)
boundary or zone designation, or
regulatory floodway on the Flood
Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and

revised flood hazard information shown
on the Preliminary FIRM and FIS report
that satisfies the data requirements
outlined in 44 CFR 67.6(b) is considered
an appeal. Comments unrelated to the
flood hazard determinations also will be
considered before the FIRM and FIS
report become effective.
FEMA
proposes to make flood hazard
determinations for each community
listed below, in accordance with section
110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act
of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104, and 44 CFR
67.4(a).
These proposed flood hazard
determinations, together with the
floodplain management criteria required
by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that
are required. They should not be
construed to mean that the community
must change any existing ordinances
that are more stringent in their
floodplain management requirements.
The community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own or
pursuant to policies established by other
Federal, State, or regional entities.
These flood hazard determinations are
used to meet the floodplain
management requirements of the NFIP.
The communities affected by the
flood hazard determinations are
provided in the tables below. Any
request for reconsideration of the
The watersheds and/or communities
affected are listed in the tables below.

with multiple ongoing Preliminary
studies, the studies can be identified by
the unique project number and

Use of a Scientific Resolution Panel
(SRP) is available to communities in
support of the appeal resolution
process. SRPs are independent panels of
experts in hydrology, hydraulics, and
other pertinent sciences established to
review conflicting scientific and
technical data and provide
recommendations for resolution. Use of
the SRP only may be exercised after
FEMA and local communities have been
engaged in a collaborative consultation
process for at least 60 days without a
mutually acceptable resolution of an
appeal. Additional information

ACTION: Notice of availability; request
for comments.
AGENCY:
We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (Service), have received
an application for an amended
incidental take permit under the
Endangered Species Act (ESA) to
conduct activities with the potential for
take of endangered and threatened
species that is incidental to, and not the
purpose of, carrying out otherwise
lawful activities. We invite comments
on the applicant’s amended permit
application and amended habitat
conservation plan (HCP), and the
associated environmental assessment,
which we have prepared pursuant to the
National Environmental Policy Act. The
amended incidental take permit (ITP) is
necessary due to an increase in the
project’s temporary and permanent
impacts and a new applicant for the ITP.
In addition, the new applicant would
like to add two additional species that
have been proposed for Federal listing
and request ‘‘take’’ coverage should the
species become listed. We invite the
public and local, State, Tribal, and
Federal agencies to comment on the
documents. Before issuing the requested
permit, we will take into consideration
all comments received.
DATES: To ensure consideration, please
send your written comments by January
13, 2025.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, have
prepared an environmental assessment
under the National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA) for the proposed
Rooney Ranch Wind Repowering Project
in response to an application from
Viracocha Wind, LLC (applicant) for a
36-year amended incidental take permit
for three species under the Endangered
Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA;
16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), and two
additional species that have been

proposed for Federal listing. This
amended ITP is an update to the
previously issued ITP for the project.
(For more about that process, see our
notice of May 28, 2020 (85 FR 32044).)
Changes to the project’s anticipated
disturbance acreage, inclusion of the
additional two species, and the change
of applicant necessitate the amended
ITP. The application addresses the
potential for ‘‘take’’ of the following
three federally listed animals: the
Central California distinct population
segment of the California tiger
salamander (Ambystoma californiense)
(central CTS), the California red-legged
frog (Rana draytonii), and the San
Joaquin kit fox (Vulpes macrotis
mutica). The application also addresses
the potential for ‘‘take’’ of the following
two animals proposed for Federal
listing: northwestern pond turtle
(Actinemys marmorata) and western
spadefoot (Spea hammondii), a frog
species. The applicant would
implement a conservation program to
minimize and mitigate the project
impacts, as described in the applicant’s
amended habitat conservation plan
(HCP). We invite comments on the
applicant’s permit application, amended
HCP, and the associated amended EA,
which we have prepared pursuant to the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969, as amended (NEPA; 42 U.S.C.
4321 et seq.), and its implementing
regulations in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) at 40 CFR 1506.6. We
will take comments into consideration
before issuance of the requested permit.
The applicant has submitted a draft
amended HCP as part of the application
for an ITP under section 10(a)(1)(B) of
the ESA. The draft amended HCP
includes measures necessary to
minimize and mitigate the impacts, to
the maximum extent practicable, of
potential taking of federally listed
species to be covered by the amended
HCP, and the habitats upon which they
depend, resulting from construction and
operation of the proposed Rooney
Ranch Wind Repowering Project within
the project area, to include portions of
the Altamont Pass Wind Resource Area
(APWRA) in Alameda County,
California.

Section 9 of the ESA prohibits the
take of fish or wildlife species listed as
