Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 95 / Thursday, May 17, 2007 / Notices 27841 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Fish and Wildlife Service 

announces the availability of four 

habitat conservation plans (HCPs), 

accompanying applications, and an 

environmental assessment (EA). One EA 

has been prepared for the four projects 

and analyzes the take of Perdido Key 

beach mice (Peromyscus polionotus 

trissyllepsis) incidental to developing, 

constructing, and human occupancy of 

Acropolis Development Enterprises, 

LLC, Midnight Property, Lorelei 

Development, LLC, and The Millennium 

Group I, LLC (Applicants) four 

condominium complexes in Escambia 

County, Florida (Projects). The 

applicants request incidental take 

permits (ITPs) pursuant to section 

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

Act of 1973 (Act), as amended. The 

Applicants’ HCPs describe the 

mitigation and minimization measures 

proposed to address the effects of the 

Project to the Perdido Key beach mouse. 

DATES: Written comments on the ITP 

applications and HCPs should be sent to 

the Fish and Wildlife Service’s Regional 

Office (see ADDRESSES) and should be 

received on or before July 16, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: Documents will be available 

for public inspection by appointment 

during normal business hours at the 

Fish and Wildlife Service’s Regional 

Office, 1875 Century Boulevard, Suite 

200, Atlanta, GA 30345 (Attn: Aaron 

Valenta); or Field Supervisor, Fish and 

Wildlife Service, 1601 Balboa Avenue, 

Panama City, FL 32405. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Aaron Valenta, Regional HCP 

Coordinator (see ADDRESSES), telephone: 

404/679–4144, or Ms. Sandra 

Sneckenberger, Field Office Project 

Manager (see ADDRESSES), at 850/769–

0552, ext. 239. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We 

specifically request information, views, 

and opinions from the public via this 

notice on the Federal action, including 

the identification of any other aspects of 

the human environment not already 

identified in the EA. Further, we 

specifically solicit information 

regarding the adequacy of the HCPs as 

measures against our ITP issuance 

criteria found in 50 CFR parts 13 and 

17. 

The EA is an assessment of the likely 

environmental impacts associated with 

the Projects and considers the 

environmental consequences of two 

alternatives and the proposed action. 

The proposed action alternative is 

issuance of the ITPs and 

implementation of the HCPs as 

submitted by the Applicants. The HCPs 

provide for: (1) Minimizing the footprint 

of the development; (2) restoring, 

preserving, and maintaining onsite 

beach mouse habitat at the project site; 

(3) incorporating requirements in the 

operation of the residence that provide 

for the conservation of the beach mouse; 

(4) monitoring the status of the beach 

mouse at the project site postconstruction; (5) donating funds 

initially and on an annual basis to 

Perdido Key beach mouse conservation 

efforts; (6) including conservation 

measures to protect nesting sea turtles 

and non-breeding piping plover; and, (7) 

funding the mitigation measures. 

If you wish to comment, you may 

submit comments by any one of several 

methods. Please reference permit 

numbers TE–143687–0, TE–143686–0, 

TE–143685–0, and TE–143688–0 in 

such comments. You may mail 

comments to the Fish and Wildlife 

Service’s Regional Office (see 

ADDRESSES). You may also comment via 

the internet to aaron_valenta@fws.gov. 

Please include your name and return 

address in your internet message. If you 

do not receive a confirmation from us 

that we have received your internet 

message, contact us directly at either 

telephone number listed below (see 

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT). 

Finally, you may hand-deliver 

comments to either Fish and Wildlife 

Service office listed (see ADDRESSES). 

Our practice is to make comments, 

including names and home addresses of 

respondents, available for public review 

during regular business hours. 

Individual respondents may request that 

we withhold their home address from 

the administrative record. We will 

honor such requests to the extent 

allowable by law. There may also be 

other circumstances in which we would 

withhold from the administrative record 

a respondent’s identity, as allowable by 

law. If you wish us to withhold your 

name and address, you must state this 

prominently at the beginning of your 

comments. We will not, however, 

consider anonymous comments. We 

will make all submissions from 

organizations or businesses, and from 

individuals identifying themselves as 

representatives or officials of 

organizations or businesses, available 

for public inspection in their entirety. 

The areas encompassed under the 

four ITPs total 5.77 acres along the 

beachfront of the Gulf of Mexico. Three 

of the projects are located on the 

western portion of Perdido Key, a 16.9 

mile barrier island, and one project is 

located centrally on the Key. Perdido 

Key constitutes the entire historic range 

of the Perdido Key beach mouse. 

We will evaluate the HCPs, 

applications and any received 

comments to determine whether the 

applications meet the requirements of 

section 10(a) of the Act. If it is 

determined that those requirements are 

met, the ITPs will be issued for the 

incidental take of the Perdido Key beach 

mouse. We will also evaluate whether 

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

comply with section 7 of the 

Endangered Species Act by conducting 

an intra-Service section 7 consultation. 

The results of this consultation, in 

combination with the above findings, 

will be used in the final analysis to 

determine whether or not to issue the 

ITPs.

Acting Regional Director.
