floodplains. The analysis shall discuss 

the following: Alternatives to the 

proposed action that may avoid adverse 

effects and incompatible development 

in the floodplain, including the 

alternatives of no action or location at 

an alternate site. Proposed buildings 

and structures located in FFRMS 

floodplain shall be programmed and 

designed to latest version of the 

American Society of Civil Engineers 

‘‘Flood Resistant Design and 

Construction’’ (ASCE/SEI 24–14) 

provisions to mitigate the adverse 

effects of the proposed action. 

Senior Real Property Official 

Approval: No action shall take place 

involving HHS Federal Real Property in 

an FFRMS floodplain without a finding 

by the Senior Real Property Officer that 

the only practicable alternative 

consistent with the law and with the 

policy set forth in E.O. 13690 requires 

siting in a FFRMS floodplain. The 

action involving HHS Federal Real 

Property proposed for Senior Real 

Property Official approval shall be 

designed to minimize potential harm to 

or within the FFRMS floodplain. The 

Senior Real Property Official shall 

approve proposed actions requiring an 

EA or EIS on projects involving HHS 

Federal Real Property affecting FFRMS 

floodplains. 

Re-Evaluate Alternatives: Use any 

new information obtained from Public 

Notice to determine if the proposed 

project is still applicable. Reissue public 

notice with Finding of No Significant 

Impact or Record of Decision if EA or 

EIS is drafted, respectively. 

Announce and Explain Decision to 

the Public (Notice): Notify the public of 

the draft decision by publishing such as 

a notice in a local newspaper or posting 

in an accessible public space, dating the 

notice and the posting at removal. 

For programs subject to E.O. 12372, 

the public notice shall be sent to the 

appropriate state and local reviewing 

agencies the geographic areas affected. 

A public review period of 30 days after 

the issuance of the public notice shall 

be allotted before any action is taken. 

Implement the Proposed Federally 

Funded Project: Implement the 

Federally Funded Project with 

appropriate mitigation measures. Design 

and construction contracts shall include 

any mitigation measures are identified 

through the process. Ensure through 

independent 3rd party construction 

quality assurance that mitigation 

measures are fully implemented. 

Licenses, permits, loans, or grants: 

Each OPDIV/STAFFDIV shall take 

FFRMS into account when formulating 

or evaluating any water and land use 

plans and shall require land and water 

resources use appropriate risk 

management measures to mitigate the 

degree of hazard involved. Adequate 

provision shall be made for the 

evaluation and consideration of flood 

hazards determined by FFRMS for the 

licenses, permits, loan, or grant-in-aid 

programs that an OPDIV/STAFFDIV 

administers. OPDIVs/STAFFDIVs shall 

also encourage and provide appropriate 

guidance to applicants to evaluate the 

effects of their proposal in FFRMS 

floodplains prior to submitting 

applications for Federal licenses, 

permits, loans, or grants. 

Authorization or Appropriation 

Requests: OPDIVs/STAFFDIVs shall 

indicate in any requests for new 

authorizations or appropriations 

whether the proposed action is in 

accord with Executive Order 13690 if 

the proposed action will be in a 

floodplain.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the 

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, invite 

review and comment from the public 

and local, State, Tribal, and Federal 

agencies on applications we have 

received for permits to conduct certain 

activities with endangered and 

threatened species under section 

10(a)(1)(A) of the Endangered Species 

Act of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16 

U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), and our regulations

prohibits take of listed species unless a 

Federal permit is issued that authorizes 

such take. The ESA’s definition of 

‘‘take’’ includes hunting, shooting, 

harming, wounding, or killing, and also 

such activities as pursuing, harassing, 

trapping, capturing, or collecting.
