years. Much of the historic commercial 

and residential development has 

occurred on the dry soils which 

previously supported scrub-jay habitat. 

Much of this area of Florida was settled 

early because few wetlands restricted 

urban and agricultural development. 

Due to the effects of urban and 

agricultural development over the past 

100 years, much of the remaining scrubjay habitat is now relatively small and 

isolated. What remains is largely 

degraded due to the exclusion of fire, 

which is needed to maintain xeric 

uplands in conditions suitable for scrubjays. 

Applicant’s Proposal 

The applicant is requesting take of 

approximately 0.54 ac of occupied 

scrub-jay habitat incidental to the 

construction of a commercial 

development (Palm Shore Retail). Palm 

Shore Retail is located within Section 

19, Township 26 South, Range 37 East. 

The parcel is north of Pineda Causeway 

and west of the FEC Railroad, Palm 

Shores, Brevard County, Florida. 

Development of the Project, including 

infrastructure, parking areas and 

landscaping, preclude retention of 

scrub-jay habitat onsite. Therefore, the 

applicant proposes to mitigate for the 

loss of 0.54 ac of occupied scrub-jay 

habitat by donating $9,072 to the 

Florida Scrub-jay 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. 

We have determined that the 

applicant’s proposal, including the 

proposed mitigation and minimization 

measures, would have minor or 

negligible effects on the species covered 

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

categorical exclusions 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. A low-effect HCP is one 

involving (1) minor or negligible effects 

on federally listed or candidate species 

and their habitats, and (2) minor or 

negligible effects on other 

environmental values or resources. 

We will evaluate the HCP and 

comments submitted thereon to 

determine whether the application 

meets the requirements of section 10(a) 

of the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). If we 

determine that the application meets 

those requirements, we will issue the 

ITP for incidental take of the Florida 

scrub-jay. We will also evaluate whether 

issuance of the section 10(a)(1)(B) ITP 

complies with section 7 of the Act by 

conducting an intra-Service section 7 

consultation. We will use the results of 

this consultation, in combination with 

the above findings, in the final analysis 

to determine whether or not to issue the 

ITP. 

Authority: We provide this notice under 

Section 10 of the Endangered Species Act 

and NEPA regulations (40 CFR 1506.6).
