policy, which applies to any person or

BILLING CODE 4310–RK–P 

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Fish and Wildlife Service 

Notice of Availability of a Supplement 

to the Final Environmental Impact 

Statement for the Coachella Valley 

Multiple Species Habitat Conservation 

Plan and Natural Community 

Conservation Plan, Riverside County, 

CA 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

availability of the Recirculated Draft 

Coachella Valley Multiple Species 

Habitat Conservation Plan/Natural 

Community Conservation Plan 

(MSHCP), Supplement to the Final 

Environmental Impact Statement/ 

Recirculated Draft Environmental 

Impact Report (EIS/EIR), and 

Implementing Agreement for public 

review and comment. The Coachella 

Valley Association of Governments 

(CVAG), Coachella Valley Conservation 

Commission, County of Riverside, 

Riverside County Flood Control and 

Water Conservation District, Riverside 

County Parks and Open Space District, 

Riverside County Waste Management 

District, Coachella Valley Water District, 

Imperial Irrigation District, California 

Department of Transportation, 

California Department of Parks and 

Recreation, Coachella Valley Mountains 

Conservancy, and the cities of Cathedral 

City, Coachella, Indian Wells, Indio, La 

Quinta, Palm Desert, Palm Springs, and 

Rancho Mirage (Applicants) applied to 

the Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) 

for an incidental take permit pursuant to 

section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Endangered 

Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). 

The Applicants also seek a Section 2835 

permit under the California Natural 

Community Conservation Planning Act 

of 2002. The Applicants are requesting 

a permit to incidentally take 22 animal 

species and seeking assurances for 5 

plant species, including 17 unlisted 

species should any of them become 

listed under the Act during the 

proposed 75-year term of the permit. 

The permit is needed to authorize 

incidental take of listed animal species 

(including harm, injury, and 

harassment) during development in the 

approximately 1.10 million-acre (1,719- 

square mile) Plan Area in the Coachella 

Valley of Riverside County, California. 

The MSHCP also incorporates a 

Public Use and Trails Plan which 

includes proposals that address nonmotorized recreation activities on 

Federal and non-Federal lands in the 

Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains. 

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) 

is a Cooperating Agency in this 

planning process and will use this EIS/ 

EIR to make decisions on BLMadministered public lands pertaining to 

trail use in the Santa Rosa and San 

Jacinto Mountains. The proposals 

constitute activity (implementation) 

level actions in furtherance of the 

California Desert Conservation Area 

Plan (1980), as amended, and the Santa 

Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains 

National Monument Management Plan 

(2004). The BLM will issue a separate 

Record of Decision regarding nonmotorized recreation activities on public 

lands. 

A Supplement to the Final 

Environmental Impact Statement, which 

is the Federal portion of the EIS/EIR, 

has been prepared jointly by the Service 

and CVAG, along with the biological 

consultant, to analyze the impacts of the 

MSHCP and is also available for public 

review. The analyses provided in the 

EIS/EIR are intended to inform the 

public of the proposed action, 

alternatives, and associated impacts; 

disclose the direct, indirect, and 

cumulative environmental effects of the 

proposed action and each of the 

alternatives; and indicate any 

irreversible commitment of resources 

that would result from implementation 

of the proposed action. All of the 

alternatives in the EIS/EIR are the same 

as the alternatives identified in the Final 

MSHCP and Final EIS/EIS, dated 

February 6, 2006, with one exception: 

the Preferred Alternative without the 

City of Palm Springs is no longer 

included. 

The Service and the cooperating 

agency issued a notice of intent to 

prepare an EIS/EIR for the proposed 

MSHCP, on June 28, 2000 (65 FR 

39920); a notice of availability of the 

Draft EIS/EIR for the proposed MSHCP 

on November 5, 2004 (69 FR 64581); 

and a notice of availability of the Final 

EIS/EIR for the proposed MSHCP on 

April 21, 2006 (71 FR 20719). 

The Service is issuing this notice to 

advise the public of revisions to the 

MSHCP and associated EIS/EIR which 

includes the following primary changes: 

(1) Removing the City of Desert Hot 

Springs as an Applicant; 

(2) including a Riverside County 

Flood Control/Water Conservation 

District flood control project as a 

Covered Activity within the Morongo 

Wash area, if the project meets the 

MSHCP’s biological goals and objectives 

for the Covered Species and the 

biological goals and objectives for 

maintaining fluvial sand transport and 

providing an adequate corridor for 

habitat connectivity; 

(3) identifying the revised Santa Rosa 

and San Jacinto Mountains Trails Plan 

as the chosen trails management 

alternative in the EIS/EIR. The Plan is 

structured to be consistent with larger 

recovery efforts for the bighorn sheep 

and takes an adaptive management 

approach to balancing its goals of: (a) 

Minimizing the risk of potential adverse 

impacts to Peninsular bighorn sheep 

from recreational activities, and (b) 

providing recreational opportunities for 

hikers, equestrians, and mountain 

bikers; and 

(4) identifying changes to 

conservation area boundaries to reflect 

‘‘like exchanges’’ approved by the 

applicants since the publication of the 

Final MSHCP, dated February 6, 2006. 

The ‘‘like exchanges’’ include Citrus 

Ranch, Lumkes Family Trust, Nott, 

Indio Water Authority Reservoirs, and 

the City of Cathedral City.
