Residential construction for the 

McShane and Dey HCP will take place 

within Section 34, Township 39, Range 

22, North Port, Sarasota County, Florida, 

at Pilgrim Road, Lot 9, Block 2026 of the 

44th Addition to Port Charlotte 

Subdivision, Florida. This lot is within 

scrub-jay occupied habitat. 

The lot encompasses about 0.31 acre, 

and the footprint of the home, 

infrastructure, and landscaping 

precludes retention of scrub-jay habitat 

on this lot. In order to minimize take 

onsite the Applicants propose to 

mitigate for the loss of 0.31 acre of 

scrub-jay habitat by contributing a total 

of $36,106.98 to the Florida Scrub-jay 

Conservation Fund administered by The 

Nature Conservancy. Funds in this 

account are ear-marked for use in the 

conservation and recovery of scrub-jays 

and may include habitat acquisition, 

restoration, and/or management. 

The Service has determined that the 

Applicants’ proposal, including the 

proposed mitigation and minimization 

measures, will have a minor or 

negligible effect on the species covered 

in the HCP. Therefore, the ITP is a ‘‘loweffect’’ project and qualifies as a 

categorical exclusion under the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), as 

provided by the Department of the 

Interior Manual (516 DM 2, Appendix 1 

and 516 DM 6, Appendix 1). This 

preliminary information may be revised 

based on our review of public comments 

that we receive in response to this 

notice. Low-effect HCPs are those 

involving (1) minor or negligible effects 

on federally listed or candidate species
