All species included on the ITP would receive assurances under the Service’s ‘‘No Surprises’’ regulations at 50 CFR 17.22(b)(5). National Environmental Policy Act Compliance The draft amended EA was prepared to analyze the impacts of issuing an amended ITP based on the draft amended HCP and to inform the public of the proposed action, alternatives, and associated impacts, and to disclose any irreversible commitments of resources. The proposed action presented in the draft amended EA will be compared to the no-action alternative. The no-action alternative represents estimated future conditions to which the proposed action’s estimated future conditions can be compared. Other alternatives were not considered or addressed in the draft amended EA, because they did not fulfill the purpose and need of the project. No-Action Alternative Under the no-action alternative, the amended HCP would not be implemented, and the proposed amended ITP would not be issued. There would be no take of federally listed species as a result of the project. This alternative assumes that existing wind power production facilities and approved repowering wind production facilities in the APWRA would continue to operate into the future. khammond on DSK9W7S144PROD with NOTICES Environmental Review and Next Steps As described in our amended EA, we have made the preliminary determination that approval of the draft amended HCP and issuance of the permit would qualify as finding of no significant impact (FONSI) under NEPA (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), as provided by Federal regulations (40 CFR 1500.5(k), 1507.3(b)(2), and 1508.13) and the Department of the Interior Manual. Our amended EA articulates the project effects on all potential resources that could be adversely affected, including aesthetics, air quality and climate change, biological resources, cultural resources, geology, hazardous materials and public safety hazards, hydrology and water quality, noise, and traffic and transportation. It also includes an analysis of alternatives and other required analysis such as unavoidable adverse effects, irreversible and irretrievable commitments of resources, and, finally, short-term uses versus long-term productivity and cumulative effects.

Notice. AGENCY: ACTION: The U.S. Department of the Interior (Department) is notifying the public and documenting the adoption of a National Park Service (NPS) categorical exclusion (CE) for invasive species management by seven other Department bureaus or offices (adopting bureaus). NPS and the adopting bureaus manage or provide funding to manage invasive species, which the NPS CE facilitates. These adopting bureaus are: the Bureau of Land Management, the Bureau of Reclamation, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the U.S. Geological Survey, the Office of Insular Affairs, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement. In accordance with section 109 of the National Environmental Policy Act, this notice identifies the types of actions to which the adopting bureaus will apply the CE; the considerations that the adopting bureaus will use in determining the applicability of the CE; the consultation between and among the Department, the adopting bureaus, and NPS on the use of the CE; and the khammond on DSK9W7S144PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:12 Dec 12, 2024 Jkt 265001 Background Program Background The Department, through its bureaus, has been managing invasive species on Federal lands for more than 70 years. The bureaus also provide Federal financial assistance to Tribal, Territorial, State, and local governments for invasive species control and eradication outside of lands managed by the bureaus. However, significant challenges remain in addressing both established and newly arriving invasive species. Currently, less than one percent of invasive plant populations and about 10 percent of invasive animal populations on Department-managed lands are under control. The impacts of invasive species are likely to increase in the coming decades. This is due in part to the growing global movement of people and materials and increased tourism and trade. In addition, a changing climate alters weather patterns, precipitation, and extreme weather events. Those changes disrupt ecosystems and make them more susceptible to biological invasions. In some areas managed by the Department’s bureaus, invasive species have become dominant, leading to significant ecosystem degradation. Controlling these species is one of the greatest challenges in land management. Left unmanaged, invasive species can create dense infestations that degrade soil productivity, reduce livestock forage quality, harm water quality and availability, reduce native species diversity, and negatively impact wildlife habitat quality. These changes can also lower wilderness values and impact recreational opportunities. The Department is adopting a NPS CE for invasive species management for use by the Bureau of Land Management, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Bureau of Reclamation, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Office of Insular Affairs, the U.S. Geological Survey, and the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement to support the adopting bureaus’ efforts to more effectively and efficiently control and eradicate invasive species. NPS is a bureau within the Department. NPS actions and best PO 00000 Frm 00092 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 practices related to invasive species management are similar to those actions and best practices conducted by the adopting bureaus in the Department. In addition, like NPS, other adopting bureaus’ implementation of proposed actions would need to be consistent with the Department’s Invasive Species Policy (part 524 of the Departmental Manual chapter 1, (524 DM 1)), and Integrated Pest Management Policy (517 DM 1). National Environmental Policy Act and Categorical Exclusions The National Environmental Policy Act, as amended, at 42 U.S.C. 4321– 4347 (NEPA), requires all Federal agencies to consider the environmental impact of their proposed actions before deciding whether and how to proceed. 42 U.S.C 4321, 4332. The NEPA aims to ensure agencies consider the environmental effects of their proposed actions in their decision-making processes and inform and involve the public in that process. 42 U.S.C. 4331. The NEPA created the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), which promulgated NEPA implementing regulations, 40 CFR parts 1500 through 1508 (CEQ NEPA regulations). Under the NEPA and CEQ’s NEPA regulations, a Federal agency can establish CEs—categories of actions that normally do not have significant effect on the human environment, individually or in the aggregate, and therefore do not require the preparation of an environmental assessment (EA) or an environmental impact statement (EIS)—in their agency NEPA procedures. 42 U.S.C. 4336(e)(1); 40 CFR 1501.4, 1507.3, 1508.1(e). If an agency determines that a CE covers a proposed action, it then evaluates the proposed action for extraordinary circumstances in which a normally excluded action may have a significant effect. 40 CFR 1501.4(b). If no extraordinary circumstances exist, the agency may apply the CE to the proposed action without preparing an EA or EIS. 42 U.S.C. 4336(a)(2), 40 CFR 1501.4. Section 109 of the NEPA, enacted as part of the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023, allows a Federal agency to ‘‘adopt’’ or rely on another agency’s CE for a category of proposed agency actions. 42 U.S.C. 4336(c). To use another agency’s CEs under section 109, the adopting agency must identify the relevant CEs listed in another agency’s (‘‘establishing agency’’) NEPA procedures that cover the adopting agency’s category of proposed actions or related actions; consult with the establishing agency to ensure that the E:\FR\FM\13DEN1.SGM 13DEN1
