Department of the Interior May 7, 2015 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, the Department of the Interior is issuing public notice of its intent to amend the Office of the Secretary Privacy Act system of records, ``Hearings and Appeals FilesInterior, OS-09''. The amendment will update the system location, categories of records, routine uses of records maintained, policies and practices for storing, retrieving, accessing, retaining and disposing of records, and citations to amended Department of the Interior regulations.

We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), are reopening the comment period for an application from the Yamhill Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) for an incidental take permit (permit) under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA). The permit application includes a draft Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) addressing private land management activities within upland prairie in Yamhill County, Oregon, that may result in the incidental take of the endangered Fender's blue butterfly. The Service also announces the availability of a draft environmental assessment (EA) addressing the proposed HCP and issuance of a permit that was prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended (NEPA). We invite comments from all interested parties on the permit application, including the HCP and the EA. We are reopening the comment period to correct a technical error with the electronic email box associated with the email address provided in our original Federal Register notice. The public could send comments to the Service's email address but we were not able to retrieve the comments for review; therefore, the comments could not be considered and recognized as part of the record. If you have previously submitted comments via email, please resubmit them to the new email address in order to be considered since they were unfortunately not retrievable for consideration.
