Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 216 / Tuesday, November 9, 2010 / Notices 68823 

electrical substation, an overhead 

transmission line to connect the 

substation to the Maui Electric 

Company Ltd. transmission line, a 

permanent unguyed meteorological 

monitoring tower, and short service 

roads to connect the new WTGs and 

other facilities to the existing main 

access road servicing KWP I. The overall 

project is located within a combined 

footprint area of approximately 143 

acres (58 hectares). The Applicant has 

also applied for a State of Hawai‘i 

incidental take license under Hawai‘i 

State law. The draft HCP describes the 

impacts of take associated with those 

activities on the Covered Species, and 

proposes a program to minimize and 

mitigate take on each of the Covered 

Species. 

KWP II is proposing mitigation 

measures that include: (1) Active 

management such as predator removal 

and construction of cat- and mongooseproof fences at Hawaiian petrel and 

Newell’s shearwater colonies; (2) 

captive propagation and release of ne ̄ne ̄

goslings; (3) habitat management and 

predator control to increase ne ̄ne ̄

breeding success and survival; (4) 

surveys to document the distribution 

and abundance of the Hawaiian hoary 

bat; and (5) habitat management and 

reforestation to benefit the recovery of 

the Hawaiian hoary bat. This HCP 

incorporates adaptive management 

provisions to allow for modifications to 

the mitigation and monitoring measures 

as knowledge is gained during 

implementation. 

We invite comments and suggestions 

from all interested parties and request 

that comments be as specific as 

possible. In particular, we request 

information and comments regarding 

the following issues: 

(1) The direct, indirect, and 

cumulative effects that implementation 

of any reasonable alternatives could 

have on endangered and threatened 

species; 

(2) Other reasonable alternatives 

consistent with the purpose of the 

proposed HCP as described above, and 

their associated effects; 

(3) Measures that would minimize 

and mitigate potentially adverse effects 

of the proposed action; 

(4) Adaptive management or 

monitoring provisions that may be 

incorporated into the alternatives, and 

their benefits to listed species; 

(5) Other plans or projects that might 

be relevant to this action; 

(6) The proposed term of the 

Incidental Take Permit and whether the 

proposed conservation program would 

minimize and mitigate to the maximum 

extent practible the incidental take that 

would be expected to occur over 20 

years; and 

(7) Whether the HCP meets other ESA 

sec. 10(a)(2)(B) (16 U.S.C. (a)(2)(B), 

issuance criteria; and 

(8) Any other information pertinent to 

evaluating the effects of the proposed 

action on the human environment. 

The draft EA considers the direct, 

indirect, and cumulative effects of the 

proposed action of permit issuance, 

including the measures that will be 

implemented to minimize and mitigate 

such impacts. The EA contains an 

analysis of three alternatives: (1) 

Issuance of an incidental take permit to 

KWP II on the basis of the proposed 

HCP with the downroad siting location; 

(2) the issuance of a permit based on the 

downwind/downstring siting location; 

and (3) No Action (no permit issuance 

and no measures by the Applicant to 

reduce or eliminate the take of Covered 

Species). 

This notice is provided under section 

10(c) (16 U.S.C. 1539(c)) of the ESA and 

NEPA regulations (40 CFR 1506.6). The 

public process for the proposed Federal 

action will be completed after the public 

comment period, at which time we will 

evaluate the permit application, the 

HCP and associated documents 

(including the EA), and comments 

submitted thereon to determine whether 

or not the proposed action meets the 

requirements of section 10(a) (16 U.S.C. 

1539(a)) of the ESA and has been 

adequately evaluated under NEPA.
