SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Applicant has applied to the Service for 

a Section 10(a)(1)(B) incidental take 

permit for a period of 30 years in order 

to authorize incidental take of the 

golden-cheeked warbler. 

Section 9 of the Act prohibits the 

‘‘taking’’ of endangered species such as 

the golden-cheeked warbler. However, 

the Service, under limited 

circumstances, may issue permits to 

take endangered wildlife species 

incidental to, and not the purpose of, 

otherwise lawful activities.

CFR 17.22), and the National 

Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 

4371 et seq.) and its implementing 

regulations (40 CFR 1506.6). 

Applicant: The Applicant plans to 

construct a residential and commercial 

development on the 176-acre property 

located on Shadow Canyon property, 

Williamson County, Texas. This action 

will adversely affect 70.1 acres of oakjuniper woodland resulting in take of 

three pairs of golden-cheeked warblers. 

The Applicant proposes to mitigate for 

incidental take of the golden-cheeked 

warbler by purchasing 97 mitigation 

credits from a conservation bank 

approved by the Service to preserve 97 

acres of golden-cheeked warbler habitat 

in perpetuity within the acquisition area 

of the Balcones Canyonlands National 

Wildlife Refuge.
