Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Initiation of a 5-Year Review of Higgins Eye (Lampsilis higginsii
We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce a 5-year review of Higgins eye (Lampsilis higginsii), Hungerford's crawling water beetle (Brychius hungerfordi), Missouri bladderpod (Lesquerella filiformis), and Running buffalo clover (Trifolium stoloniferum) under section 4(c)(2)(A) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (Act) (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). We request any information on the aforementioned species since their original listings in 1976 (41 FR 24064), 1994 (59 FR 10584), 1987 (52 FR 682), and 1987 (52 FR 21480), respectively, that has a bearing on the classification of these species as threatened or endangered. A 5-year review is a periodic process conducted to ensure that the classification of a listed species is appropriate. A 5-year review is based on the best scientific and commercial data available at the time of the review. Based on the results of these 5-year reviews, we will make a finding of whether these species are properly classified under section 4(c)(2)(B) of the Act.
Proposed Low Effect Habitat Conservation Plan for Northern Indiana Public Service Company and the Indiana-American Water Company, Inc.
Northern Indiana Public Service Company and the Indiana- American Water Company, Inc. (Applicants) have applied to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) for a joint incidental take permit for one covered species pursuant to section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). The application addresses the potential for ``take'' of the endangered Karner blue butterfly (Lycaeides melissa samuelis) from management activities associated with electric power transmission line, natural gas pipeline, and potable water pipeline right-of-ways in northern Lake and Porter Counties, Indiana. A conservation program to mitigate for the project activities would be implemented as described in the proposed Low Effect Habitat Conservation Plan (proposed Plan), which would be implemented by the Applicants. We are requesting comments on the permit application and on the preliminary determination that the proposed Plan qualifies as a ``Low-Effect'' Habitat Conservation Plan, eligible for a categorical exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended.
