Nevada Department of Wildlife, Lincoln County, Nevada, Enhancement of Survival Permit
In response to an application from the Nevada Department of Wildlife (Applicant), we, the Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), are considering issuance of an enhancement of survival permit pursuant to section 10(a)(1)(A) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA). The permit application includes a proposed programmatic Safe Harbor Agreement (SHA) between the applicant and the Service. The proposed SHA provides for voluntary habitat restoration, maintenance, enhancement, or creation activities to enhance the reintroduction and recovery of White River springfish (Crenichtheys baileyi baileyi), Hiko White River springfish (Crenichtheys baileyi grandis), Pahranagat roundtail chub (Gila robusta jordani) and southwestern willow flycatcher (Empidonax trailii extimus), within the Pahranagat Valley, Nevada. The proposed duration of both the SHA and permit is 50 years. We have made a preliminary determination that the proposed SHA and permit application are eligible for categorical exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). The basis for our determination is contained in an environmental action statement, which also is available for public review. We are requesting comments on this application.
