**Application for an Incidental Take Permit for the Madison Cave Isopod** **From Dominion Virginia Power; Low Effect Habitat Conservation Plan** 

**AGENCY :**  Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.

**ACTION :**  Notice of receipt of application.

**SUMMARY :**  Pursuant to the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service or ‘‘we’’) announces the availability of an application for an Incidental Take Permit (ITP) and a proposed Low-Effect Habitat Conservation Plan (LEHCP) from Dominion Virginia Power for public review and comment. We received the permit application from Dominion Virginia Power for incidental take of the Madison Cave isopod during construction of a new natural gas-fired combined-cycle power station in Warren County, Virginia, extending over the next 9 years, until 2020. Our preliminary determination is that the Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) qualifies as a low-effect plan under NEPA. To make this determination, we used our LEHCP Screening Form/ Environmental Action Statement (EAS), which is also available for review.

We provide this notice to (1) seek public comments on the proposed HCP and application; (2) seek public comments on our preliminary determination that the HCP qualifies as a low-effect plan and is therefore eligible for a categorical exclusion under NEPA; and (3) advise other Federal and State agencies, affected Tribes, and the public of our intent to issue an ITP.

**DATES :**  The draft HCP and preliminary EAS are being made available during a 30-day public review period. To ensure consideration, we must receive your written comments by September 21,
2011.

**ADDRESSES :**  Send comments by U.S. mail to Sumalee Hoskin, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Virginia Field Office, 6669 Short Lane, Gloucester, VA 23061; by fax at (804) 693–9032; or by electronic mail at sumalee

_ hoskin@fws.gov . In the subject line of your letter, fax, or electronic mail, include the document identifier ‘‘Warren County Power Station HCP.’’

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Sumalee Hoskin, Fish and Wildlife Biologist, Virginia Field Office (VAFO) (see **ADDRESSES** ); telephone (804) 693– 6694; electronic mail: sumalee

. **SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  We received a permit application from Dominion Virginia Power for incidental take of the federally listed Madison Cave isopod over the next 9 years during construction of a new natural gas-fired combined-cycle power station in Warren County, Virginia. A conservation program to minimize and mitigate for the incidental take would be implemented by Dominion Virginia Power as described in the proposed Dominion Virginia Power LEHCP.

We prepared a preliminary EAS to comply with NEPA. The Service will evaluate whether the proposed action and issuance of an ITP to Dominion Virginia Power are adequate to support a categorical exclusion. This notice is provided pursuant to section 10(c) of the ESA and NEPA regulations (40 CFR 1506.6).

We are requesting comments on the proposed HCP and our preliminary determination that the HCP qualifies as low-effect under NEPA. Availability of Documents

The proposed LEHCP and preliminary EAS are available on the VAFO’s Web site at: http://www.fws.gov/northeast/ virginiafield/ . Copies of the proposed LEHCP and preliminary EAS will be available for public review during regular business hours at the VAFO (see

**ADDRESSES** ). Those who do not have access to the Web site or cannot visit our office can request copies by
