SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Division of International 

Conservation awards grants funded 

under the: 

(1) African Elephant Conservation Act 

(16 U.S.C. 4201-4245). 

(2) Asian Elephant Conservation Act 

of 1997 (16 U.S.C. 4261). 

(3) Great Apes Conservation Act of 

2000 (Pub. L. 106-411). 

(4) Rhinoceros and Tiger Conservation 

Act of 1994 (16 U.S.C. 5306). 

(5) Marine Turtle Conservation Act 

(Pub. L. 108-266). 

(6) Wildlife Without Borders 

Programs - Mexico, Latin America and 

the Caribbean, and Russia. 

The information that we collect for 

grants awarded under the Marine Turtle 

Conservation Act is approved under 

OMB Control No. 1018-0128, which 

expires March 31, 2009. We are 

proposing to include that information 

collection with the others in this 

approval request, all under OMB 

Control Number 1018-0123. 

Applicants submit proposals for 

funding in response to Notices of 

Funding Availability that we publish on 

Grants.gov. We collect the following 

information under each Notice of 

Funding Availability: 

(1) Cover page with basic project 

details (FWS Form 3-2338). This is a 

new form that we propose to replace the 

six forms currently approved under 

OMB Control No. 1018-0123. 

(2) Project summary and narrative. 

(3) Letter of appropriate government 

endorsement. 

(4) Brief curricula vitae for key project 

personnel. 

(5) Complete Standard Forms 424, 

424a and 424b (nondomestic applicants 

do not submit the standard forms). 

Proposals may also include, as 

appropriate, a copy of the organization’s 

Negotiated Indirect Cost Rate Agreement 

(NIRCA) and any additional 

documentation supporting the proposed 

project. 

The project summary and narrative is 

the basis for this information collection 

request for approval. A panel of 

technical experts reviews each proposal 

to assess how well the project addresses 

the priorities identified by each 

program’s authorizing legislation. As all 

of the on-the-ground projects funded by 

these programs are conducted outside 

the United States, the letter of 

appropriate government endorsement 

ensures that the proposed activities will 

not meet with local resistance or work 

in opposition to locally identified 

priorities and needs. Brief curricula 

vitae for key project personnel allow the 

review panel to assess the qualifications 

of project staff to effectively carry out 

the project goals and objectives. As all 

Federal entities must honor the indirect 

cost rates an organization has negotiated 

with its cognizant agency, we require all 

organizations with a NICRA to submit 

the agreement paperwork with their 

proposals to verify how their rate is 

applied in their proposed budget. 

Applicants may provide any additional 

documentation that they believe best 

supports their proposal.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Fish and Wildlife Service 

Receipt of an Application for an 

Incidental Take Permit for 

Construction of a Combination of 

Commercial Buildings and Residential 

Units in Palm Beach 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 an incidental take permit 

(ITP) and Habitat Conservation Plan 

(HCP). Royal Tequesta LLC (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 2.24 

acres of Florida scrub-jay (Aphelocoma 

coerulescens) (scrub-jay) foraging and 

sheltering habitat incidental to partial 

land clearing of their 6-acre lot and 

subsequent commercial and residential 

construction and supporting 

infrastructure in Palm Beach County, 

Florida (Project). The destruction of 2.24 

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 

Florida scrub-jay.
