Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 242 / Tuesday, December 17, 2024 / Notices 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 Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce receipt of an application from RWLC Development Sub, LLC (applicant) for an incidental take permit (ITP) under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). The applicant requests the ITP to take federally listed sand skinks (Neoseps reynoldsi) and bluetail mole skinks (Eumeces egregius lividus) (skinks), federally listed as threatened under the ESA, incidental to the construction and operation of a commercial development in Polk County, Florida. We request public comments on the application, which includes the applicant’s habitat conservation plan (HCP), and on the Service’s preliminary determination that this proposed ITP qualifies as ‘‘low effect,’’ and may qualify for a categorical exclusion pursuant to the Council on Environmental Quality’s National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) regulations (40 CFR 1501.4), the Department of the Interior’s (DOI) NEPA regulations (43 CFR 46), and the DOI’s Departmental Manual (516 DM 8.5(C)(2)). To make this preliminary determination, we prepared a draft environmental action statement and low-effect screening form, both of which are also available for public review. ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 Proposed Project The applicant requests a 5-year ITP to take skinks via the conversion of approximately 1.68 acres (ac) of occupied nesting, foraging, and sheltering skink habitat incidental to the construction and operation of a commercial development on 12.64 ac on Parcel #: 27–26–29–706500–030310 and 27–26–29–706500–030300 in Section 29, Township 26 S, Range 27 E, Polk County, Florida. The applicant proposes to mitigate for take of the skinks by purchasing credits equivalent to 3.36 ac of skink-occupied habitat within the Lake Wales Ridge Conservation Bank or another Service-approved conservation bank. The Service would require the applicant to purchase the credits prior to engaging in any phase of the project. Our Preliminary Determination The Service has made a preliminary determination that the applicant’s proposed project—including the construction of the buildings and associated infrastructure (e.g., electric, water, and sewer lines)—would individually and cumulatively have a minor or negligible effect on the skinks VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:45 Dec 16, 2024 Jkt 265001 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 skinks 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 incidental take permit is one that would result in (1) minor or negligible 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 reasonably foreseeable actions, would not result in significant cumulative effects to the human environment. Next Steps The Service will evaluate the application and the comments 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 ITP number PER13163374 to RWLC Development Sub, LLC.
