Funding of Approved Applications

Final funding decisions for SPRANS

grants and cooperative agreements are

the responsibility of the Director,

MCHB. In considering scores for the

ranking of approved applications for

funding, preferences may be exercised

for groups of applications, e.g.,

applications from geographical areas

without previously funded projects in a

particular category vs. applications from

areas with previously funded projects.

Within any category of approved

projects, special consideration may be

given, i.e., the score of an individual

project may be favorably adjusted, if the

project addresses specific priorities or

categorical areas identified as meriting

special consideration.

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

Act of 1973 (Act), has been made and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Decision

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s

decision is to adopt the Preferred

Habitat Conservation Plan Alternative,

issue a permit authorizing incidental

take of listed species, and agree to the

unlisted species provisions in the

Implementation Agreement, as

described in the final Environmental

Impact Statement. In the future, should

any of the currently unlisted species

that use the habitat types that occur

within the West-side Planning Units

(including the Olympic Experimental

State Forest) subsequently become

listed, the Washington Department of

Natural Resources may request that

those species be added to the incidental

take permit. This decision is based on

a thorough review of the alternatives

and their environmental consequences.

By adopting the preferred alternative

with its assurances that the mitigation

program and enforcement measures will

be implemented, all practicable means

to avoid or minimize harm have been

adopted.
