DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Fish and Wildlife Service 

Receipt of an Application for an 

Incidental Take Permit for Singlefamily Home Construction in Charlotte 

County, FL 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice; request for comments. 

SUMMARY: We, the Fish and Wildlife 

Service (Service), announce the 

availability of incidental take permit 

(ITP) and Habitat Conservation Plan 

(HCP). David Boxer (Applicant) requests 

an ITP pursuant to section 10(a)(1)(B) of 

the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended (Act). The Applicant 

anticipates taking about 0.23 acre of 

Florida scrub-jay (Aphelocoma 

coerulescens) (scrub-jay) foraging and 

sheltering habitat incidental to lot 

preparation for the construction of a 

single-family home and supporting 

infrastructure in Charlotte County, 

Florida (Project). The destruction of 0.23 

acre of foraging and sheltering habitat is 

expected to result in the take of one 

family of scrub-jays. The Applicant’s 

Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) 

describes the mitigation and 

minimization measures proposed to 

address the effects of the Project to the 

scrub-jay. 

DATES: Written comments on the ITP 

application and HCP should be sent to 

the South Florida Ecological Services 

Office (see ADDRESSES) and should be 

received on or before August 15, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: Persons wishing to review 

the application and HCP may obtain a 

copy by writing the Service’s South 

Florida Ecological Services Office. 

Please reference the Boxer SFL HCP in 

such requests. Documents will also be 

available for public inspection by 

appointment during normal business 

hours at the South Florida Ecological 

Services Office, 1339 20th Street, Vero 

Beach, Florida 32960. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Trish Adams, Fish and Wildlife 

Biologist, South Florida Ecological 

Services Office, Vero Beach, Florida (see 

ADDRESSES), telephone: 772–562–3909, 

extension 232. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: If you 

wish to comment, you may submit 

comments by any one of several 

methods. Please reference permit 

number TE 156306–0, in such 

comments. You may mail comments to 

the Service’s South Florida Ecological 

Services Office (see ADDRESSES). You 

may also comment via the Internet to 

trish_adams@fws.gov. Please also 

include your name and return address 

in your Internet message. If you do not 

receive a confirmation from us that we 

have received your Internet message, 

contact us directly at the telephone 

number listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT. Finally, you may 

hand deliver comments to the Service 

office listed under ADDRESSES. Our 

practice is to make comments, including 

names and home addresses of 

respondents, available for public review 

during regular business hours. 

Individual respondents may request that 

we withhold their home address from 

the administrative record. We will 

honor such requests to the extent 

allowable by law. There may also be 

other circumstances in which we would 

withhold from the administrative record 

a respondent’s identity, as allowable by 

law. If you wish us to withhold your 

name and address, you must state this 

prominently at the beginning of your 

comments. We will not, however, 

consider anonymous comments. We 

will make all submissions from 

organizations or businesses, and from 

individuals identifying themselves as 

representatives or officials of 

organizations or businesses, available 

for public inspection in their entirety. 

Residential construction for the Boxer 

SFL HCP will take place within Section 

24, Township 40, Range 21, Port 

Charlotte, Charlotte County, Florida. 

This lot is within scrub-jay occupied 

habitat. 

The lot encompasses about 0.23 acre, 

and the footprint of the home, 

infrastructure, and landscaping 

preclude retention of scrub-jay habitat. 

In order to minimize take on site, the 

Applicant proposes to mitigate for the 

loss of 0.23 acre of scrub-jay habitat by 

contributing $12,190 to the Florida 

Scrub-jay Conservation Fund 

administered by The Nature 

Conservancy or acquisition of 0.46 acres 

of credit at a Service approved 

conservation bank. The Florida Scrubjay Conservation Fund is earmarked for 

use in the conservation and recovery of 

scrub-jays and may include habitat 

acquisition, restoration, and/or 

management. 

The Service has determined that the 

Applicant’s proposal, including the 

proposed mitigation and minimization 

measures, will individually and 

cumulatively have a minor or negligible 

effect on the species covered in the 

HCP. Therefore, the ITP is a ‘‘loweffect’’ project and qualify as a 

categorical exclusion under the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) (40 

CFR 1506.6), as provided by the 

Department of the Interior Manual (516 

DM 2 Appendix 1 and 516 DM 6 

Appendix 1). This preliminary 

information may be revised based on 

our review of public comments that we 

receive in response to this notice. Loweffect HCPs are those 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. 

The Service will evaluate the HCP 

and comments submitted thereon to 

determine whether the applications 

meet the requirements of section 10(a) 

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

is determined that those requirements 

are met, the ITP will be issued for the 

incidental take of the Florida scrub-jay. 

The Service will also evaluate whether 

issuance of the section 10(a)(1)(B) ITP 

comply with section 7 of the Act by 

conducting an intra-Service section 7 

consultation. The results of this 

consultation, in combination with the 

above findings, will be used in the final 

analysis to determine whether or not to 

issue the ITP. 

Authority: This notice is provided 

pursuant to Section 10 of the Endangered 

Species Act and NEPA regulations (40 CFR 

1506.6).

AGENCY: National Park Service, 

Department of the Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed award of 

temporary concession contract (TC–

GRSA003–07) for the Sale of Firewood 

and Incidental Visitor Items within 

Great Sand Dunes National Park and 

Preserve, CO. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to 36 CFR 51.24, 

public notice is hereby given that the 

National Park Service proposes to award 

a temporary concession contract for the 

sale of firewood and incidental visitor 

items within Great Sand Dunes National 

Park and Preserve, Colorado, for a term 

not to exceed 2 years and 8 months, 

from May 1, 2007 through December 31, 

2009. This action is necessary to avoid 

an interruption of visitor services. 

DATES: The term of the temporary 

concession contract (TC–GRSA003–07) 

will be effective (if awarded) May 1, 

2007 through December 31, 2009, which 

is the date of termination of the existing 

concession contract, CC–GRSA003–07. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

temporary concession contract is 

proposed to be awarded to Cary and 

Geraldine Spannagel, who operate as 

Bristle Cone Pine Company, Inc., and 

are qualified persons pursuant to 36 

CFR 51.3. Following termination of the 

prior concession contract (CC–

proposes to award a temporary 

concession contract to Cary and

that a temporary contract is necessary to 

avoid interruption of visitor services 

and has taken all reasonable and 

appropriate steps to consider 

alternatives to avoid an interruption of 

visitor services. 

This action is issued pursuant to 36 

CFR 51.24(a). This is not a request for 

proposals and no prospectus is being 

issued at this time.
