We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), recently announced our receipt of an application from Kaheawa Wind Power II, LLC (KWP II) for an incidental take permit (permit) under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA). KWP II is requesting an incidental take permit under the ESA to authorize take of three federally endangered and one threatened bird species. We are reopening the comment period on this permit application and the associated Draft Environmental Assessment (EA), Draft Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP), and proposed Implementation Agreement (IA).

Proposed Shiloh III Wind Plant Project, Solano County, CA; Proposed Habitat Conservation Plan and Draft Environmental Assessment
Document Number: 2011-2680
Type: Notice
Date: 2011-02-08
Agency: Fish and Wildlife Service, Department of the Interior
We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), have received an application from enXco and Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) (applicants) for a 36-year incidental take permit for one species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). The application addresses the potential for ``take'' of one Federally listed animal, the California tiger salamander (Ambystoma californiense) (tiger salamander). The applicants would implement a conservation program to minimize and mitigate the project activities, as described in the applicants' Habitat Conservation Plan (Plan). We request comments on the Plan and the associated draft Environmental Assessment (EA) under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended (NEPA).
Subsistence Management Regulations for Public Lands in Alaska-2012-13 and 2013-14 Subsistence Taking of Wildlife Regulations
Document Number: 2011-2679
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2011-02-08
Agency: Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, Department of the Interior
This proposed rule would establish regulations for hunting and trapping seasons, harvest limits, methods and means related to taking of wildlife for subsistence uses during the 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 regulatory years. The Federal Subsistence Board is on a schedule of completing the process of revising subsistence taking of wildlife regulations in even-numbered years and subsistence taking of fish and shellfish regulations in odd-numbered years; public proposal and review processes take place during the preceding year. The Board also addresses customary and traditional use determinations during the applicable cycle. When final, the resulting rulemaking will replace the existing subsistence wildlife taking regulations. This rule would also amend the general regulations on subsistence taking of fish and wildlife.
Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Reclassifying the Wood Bison (Bison bison athabascae)
Document Number: 2011-2529
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2011-02-08
Agency: Fish and Wildlife Service, Department of the Interior
We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), propose to reclassify the wood bison (Bison bison athabascae) from endangered to threatened under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). This proposed action is amended based on a review of the best available scientific and commercial data, which indicate that the endangered designation no longer correctly reflects the status of the wood bison. This proposal also constitutes our 12-month finding on the petition to reclassify this subspecies. We are seeking data and comments from the public on this proposed rule.
Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Final Revised Critical Habitat for Brodiaea filifolia (Thread-Leaved Brodiaea)

Agency: Fish and Wildlife Service, Department of the Interior
We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, are designating revised critical habitat for Brodiaea filifolia (thread-leaved brodiaea) under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). Approximately 2,947 acres (ac) (1,193 hectares (ha)) in 10 units are being designated as revised critical habitat for B. filifolia in Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange, and San Diego Counties, California.
