DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Fish and Wildlife Service 

Receipt of Applications for 

Endangered Species Act Enhancement 

of Survival Permits Developed in 

Accordance With a Template Safe 

Harbor Agreement for the Columbia 

Basin Pygmy Rabbit 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of receipt of applications. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service (Service) announces the receipt 

of thirteen applications for 

enhancement of survival permits that 

would be issued pursuant to section 

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

Act of 1973, as amended (Act). The 

applications were developed in 

conjunction with a Template Safe 

Harbor Agreement (Template SHA) for 

the Columbia Basin pygmy rabbit 

(Brachylagus idahoensis). The thirteen 

permit applicants are: (1) Mr. Raymond 

Mayer; (2) Rimrock Meadows 

Association; (3) ABS Farms LLC; (4) 

Sagebrush Flats Farm; (5) Mr. Eric Long;

Heer Brothers J.V.; (11) Mr. Don Roberts; 

(12) David Adams Family LLC; and (13) 

Evans Brothers J.V. Issuance of permits 

to these applicants would exempt 

incidental take of the Columbia Basin 

pygmy rabbit, which would otherwise 

be prohibited by section 9 of the Act, 

that is above the baseline conditions of 

properties enrolled under the Template 

SHA, and that may result from the 

permittees’ otherwise lawful land-use 

activities. The Service requests 

comments from the public regarding the 

proposed issuance of permits to these 

thirteen applicants. Before including 

your address, phone number, e-mail 

address, or other personal identifying 

information in your comment, you

comments from interested parties must 

be received on or before May 25, 2007.

Service is furnishing this notice to 

provide the public, other State and 

Federal agencies, and interested Tribes 

an opportunity to review and comment 

on these applications. All comments 

received will become part of the public 

record. If you wish us to withhold your

Background 

On September 7, 2006, the Service 

announced the availability for public 

review and comment of a draft Template 

SHA for the Columbia Basin pygmy 

rabbit, which was jointly developed by 

the Service and the Washington 

Department of Fish and Wildlife 

(WDFW), and a draft Environmental 

Assessment, which was developed by 

the Service pursuant to Federal 

responsibilities under the National 

Environmental Policy Act. The Service’s 

September 7, 2006, notice also 

announced the receipt of three Permit 

applications that were developed in 

accordance with the Template SHA (71 

FR 52816). The final Template SHA, 

which contained only minor 

modifications from the draft released for 

public review, was signed by the 

Service and WDFW on October 24, 

2006. 

The primary objective of the Template 

SHA is to facilitate collaboration 

between the Service, WDFW, and 

prospective participants to voluntarily 

implement conservation measures to 

benefit the Columbia Basin pygmy 

rabbit. Another objective of the 

Template SHA is to facilitate the 

processing of enhancement of survival 

permit applications that would provide 

incidental take coverage for participants 

to relieve them of additional section 9 

liability under the Act if 

implementation of their conservation 

measures results in increased numbers 

or distribution of Columbia Basin 

pygmy rabbits on their enrolled 

properties. 

This notice is provided pursuant to 

section 10(c) of the Act. The Service has 

previously determined that 

implementation of the Template SHA 

will result in conservation benefits to 

the Columbia Basin pygmy rabbit and 

will not result in significant effects to 

the human environment. The Service 

will evaluate the thirteen permit 

applications noticed herein, related 

documents, and any comments 

submitted thereon to determine whether 

they are consistent with the measures 

prescribed by the Template SHA and 

comply with relevant statutory and 

regulatory requirements. If it is 

determined that the requirements are 

met, permits to exempt incidental take 

of the Columbia Basin pygmy rabbit will 

be issued to the applicants. The final 

permit determinations will not be 

completed until after the end of the 30- 

day comment period, and will fully 

consider all comments received. 

Dated: April 19, 2007.

Deputy Regional Director, Region 1, U.S. Fish 

and Wildlife Service, Portland, Oregon.

Background 

The Florida scrub-jay (scrub-jay) is 

found exclusively in peninsular Florida 

and is restricted to xeric uplands 

(predominately in oak-dominated 

scrub). Increasing urban and agricultural 

development has resulted in habitat loss 

and fragmentation, which have 

adversely affected the distribution and 

numbers of scrub-jays. 

The total estimated population is 

between 7,000 and 11,000 individuals. 

The decline in the number and 

distribution of scrub-jays in east-central 

Florida has been exacerbated by 

tremendous urban growth in the past 50
