exception to applicability of the Buy 

American requirements with respect to 

work, using CFRFC grant funds, in 

connection with the Kenmore 

Apartments project. The exception was

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Section 9 of the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 

et seq.) and our implementing Federal 

regulations in the Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR 17 prohibit 

the ‘‘take’’ of fish or wildlife species 

listed as endangered or threatened. Take 

of listed fish or wildlife is defined under 

the Act as ‘‘to harass, harm, pursue, 

hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, 

or collect, or to attempt to engage in any 

such conduct’’ (16 U.S.C. 1532). 

However, under limited circumstances, 

we issue permits to authorize incidental 

take—i.e., take that is incidental to, and 

not the purpose of, the carrying out of 

an otherwise lawful activity. 

Regulations governing incidental take 

permits for threatened and endangered 

species are in the Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR 17.32 and 

17.22, respectively. The Act’s take 

prohibitions do not apply to Federally 

listed plants on private lands unless 

such take would violate State law. In 

addition to meeting other criteria, an 

incidental take permit’s proposed 

actions must not jeopardize the 

existence of Federally listed fish, 

wildlife, or plants. 

Applicant’s Proposal 

The applicant has been approved for 

take of approximately 0.3 ac of occupied 

Florida scrub-jay foraging and sheltering 

habitat incidental to construction of an 

expansion to an existing YMCA facility, 

and seeks a 5-year extension on an 

existing permit. The 10-ac project is 

located on parcel # 08–18–31–00–00– 

0070 within Section 08, Township 18 

South, Range 31 East, Volusia County, 

Florida. The project includes 

construction of an expansion to the 

existing YMCA facility and the 

associated infrastructure, and 

landscaping. The applicant has been 

approved to mitigate for the take of the 

Florida scrub-jay by restoring and 

managing ±1.3 acres onsite of habitat 

occupied by the covered species. 

Our Preliminary Determination 

We have determined that the 

applicant’s proposal, including the 

proposed mitigation and minimization 

measures, would have minor or 

negligible effects on the species covered 

in the HCP. Therefore, we determined 

that the ITP is a ‘‘low-effect’’ project and 

qualifies for categorical exclusion under 

the National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA), as provided by the Department 

of the Interior Manual (516 DM 2 

Appendix 1 and 516 DM 6 Appendix 1). 

The notice for this permit was 

published in the Federal Register on 

May 9, 2008 (73 FR 26407), and the ITP 

was issued on August 25, 2008. A loweffect HCP is one involving (1) Minor or 

negligible effects on Federally listed or 

candidate species and their habitats, 

and (2) minor or negligible effects on 

other environmental values or 

resources. 

Next Steps 

We will evaluate the plan and 

comments we receive to determine 

whether the ITP extension application 

meets the requirements of section 10(a) 

of the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). If we 

determine that the application meets 

these requirements, we will issue the 

extension of ITP # TE176788–0. In 

August 2008 we determined issuance of 

the section 10(a)(1)(B) ITP complies 

with section 7 of the Act by conducting 

an intra-Service section 7 consultation. 

We will use the results of this 

consultation, in combination with the 

above findings, in our final analysis to 

determine whether or not to issue the 

ITP extension. If the requirements are 

met, we will issue the permit extension 

to the applicant. 

Public Comments 

If you wish to comment on the permit 

application, plan, and associated 

documents, you may submit comments 

by any one of the methods in 

ADDRESSES. 

Public Availability of Comments 

Before including your address, phone 

number, e-mail address, or other 

personal identifying information in your

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may

While you can ask us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

USGS supports some of the most 

pressing resource management, 

environmental and climate change 

science issues faced by our Nation. 

Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) is 

the leading technology for collecting 

highly accurate three-dimensional 

measurements of the Earth’s topography 

and surface features such as buildings, 

bridges, coastlines, rivers, forests and 

other landscape characteristics. These 

data provide an unprecedented tool for 

scientific understanding and inform 

National decisions related to ecosystem 

management, energy development, 

natural resource conservation and 

mitigating geologic and flood-related 

hazards. The USGS now collects LiDAR 

data to a limited extent and primarily 

for upgrading bare-earth elevation data 

for The National Map. This study seeks 

to establish a baseline of national 

business needs and associated benefits 

for LiDAR to enhance the 

responsiveness of USGS programs, and 

to design an efficient future program 

that balances requirements, benefits and 

costs. The study advances coordinated 

program development among the 

numerous Federal and State agencies 

that increasingly rely on LiDAR to 

enable the fulfillment of their missions. 

The study is sponsored by the National 

Digital Elevation Program steering 

committee and supported by several 

member agencies. 

The information collection process 

will be guided by an interagency 

management team led by USGS with 

support from a professional services 

contractor. The information collection 

will be conducted using a standardized 

template. Responses are one-time and 

voluntary. 

II. Data 

OMB Control Number: None. This is 

a new collection. 

Title: Assessment of the Business 

Requirements and Benefits of Enhanced 

National Elevation Data. 

Type of Request: New. 

Affected Public: States, U.S. 

Territories, Tribes and local natural 

resource development agencies. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

Frequency of Collection: One time 

only. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Respondents: 445. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 422. 

III. Request for Comments 

We are again inviting comments 

concerning this ICR on: (a) Whether the 

proposed collection of information is 

necessary for the agency to perform its 

duties, including whether the 

information is useful; (b) the accuracy of 

the agency’s estimate of the burden of 

the proposed collection of information; 

(c) ways to enhance the quality, 

usefulness, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (d) 

ways to minimize the burden on the 

respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

Comments that you submit in 

response to this notice are a matter of 

public record. Before including your 

address, phone number, e-mail address 

or other personal identifying 

information in your comment, you 

should be aware that your entire 

comment including your personal 

identifying information, may be made 

publically available at any time. While 

you can ask OMB in your comment to 

withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that will be done.
