SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We have 

received an application from Manzana 

Wind LLC (applicant) for an incidental 

take permit under the Endangered 

Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA; 

16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). The application 

addresses the potential take of the 

federally endangered California condor 

(condor), incidental to otherwise lawful 

activities at the Manzana Wind Power 

Project (project), as described in the 

applicant’s draft conservation plan. The 

project began operations in 2012 and is 

in the Antelope Valley region of Kern 

County, California, along the southern 

foothills of the Tehachapi Mountains. 

Background 

Section 9 of the ESA (16 U.S.C. 1538) 

and Federal regulations promulgated 

pursuant to section 4(d) of the ESA (16 

U.S.C. 1533) prohibit the take of 

endangered species without special 

exemption. Under section 10(a)(1)(B) of 

the ESA (16 U.S.C. 1539), we may issue 

permits to authorize take of listed fish 

and wildlife species that is incidental 

to, and not the purpose of, carrying out 

an otherwise lawful activity. 

Regulations governing permits for 

endangered and threatened species are 

set forth in title 50 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations at part 17, sections 

17.22 and 17.32. 

The National Environmental Policy 

Act (NEPA; 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) 

requires Federal agencies to analyze 

their proposed actions to determine 

whether the actions may significantly 

affect the human environment. In the 

NEPA analysis, the Federal agency will 

identify the effects, as well as possible 

mitigation for effects on environmental 

resources, that could occur with the 

implementation of the proposed action 

and alternatives. The Federal action in 

this case is the Service’s proposed 

issuance of an incidental take permit for 

the federally endangered California 

condor. 

Permit Application 

The applicant has submitted a draft 

conservation plan that describes the 

activities covered by the permit, such as 

the operation of wind turbines and other 

specified activities associated with 

project components. To minimize the 

risk of incidental take, the applicant 

will maintain a program to detect 

condors approaching the project and 

temporarily curtail operating wind 

turbines when appropriate; the 

conservation plan also includes 

adaptive management to allow for 

maintaining the protection of condors as 

technologies, condor behavior, and 

other factors change over time. To 

mitigate the impact of the potential 

incidental take, the applicant proposes 

to work with an existing captive 

breeding facility to fund the production 

of additional condors for release into the 

wild. The Service and applicant used a 

population viability analysis to inform 

the mitigation strategy and ensure that 

the level of potential injury or mortality 

of condors permitted at the project 

would not impede recovery of the 

species. The population viability 

analysis report is appended to the draft 

conservation plan and the draft 

environmental assessment. A 

‘‘Frequently Asked Questions’’ 

document for the population viability 

analysis is also attached to the draft 

environmental assessment. The draft 

conservation plan and the draft 

environmental assessment consider 

alternatives to the proposed action, 

including a no action alternative. 

Public Comments

conservation plan and draft 

environmental assessment, you may

in ADDRESSES. 

Public Availability of Comments

Authority 

We issue this notice pursuant to 

section 10(c) of the ESA (16 U.S.C. 

1539) and its implementing regulations 

(50 CFR 17.22), and NEPA (42 U.S.C. 

4321 et seq.) and its implementing 

regulations (40 CFR 1506.6 and 43 CFR 

46.305).
