SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Kauai 

Island Utility Cooperative (KIUC, or 

applicant) has submitted an application 

to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 

(Service) for renewal of their incidental 

take permit (permit) under the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). 

The permit is associated with KIUC’s 

Short-Term Habitat Conservation Plan 

(Short-Term HCP) that addresses 

incidental take of three listed species 

caused by the operation and 

maintenance of KIUC’s existing and 

anticipated electrical utility facilities on 

Kauai, Hawaii. The applicant is 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 116 / Friday, June 15, 2018 / Notices 28009 

requesting renewal of the permit to 

authorize incidental take of the federally 

endangered Hawaiian petrel, the 

federally endangered band-rumped 

storm-petrel, and the federally 

threatened Newell’s (Townsends) 

shearwater (collectively referred to as 

‘‘Covered Species’’) for an indefinite 

period until the Service renders a 

decision on a Long-Term HCP and 

permit application currently under 

development by KIUC. We are making 

the permit renewal application available 

for public review and comment. 

Background 

Section 9 of the ESA prohibits ‘‘take’’ 

of fish and wildlife species listed as 

endangered under section 4 (16 U.S.C. 

1538 and 16 U.S.C. 1533). The ESA 

implementing regulations extend, under 

certain circumstances, the prohibition of 

take to threatened species (50 CFR 

17.31). Under section 3 of the ESA, the 

term ‘‘take’’ means to ‘‘harass, harm, 

pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, 

capture, or collect, or attempt to engage 

in any such conduct’’ (16 U.S.C. 

1532(19)). The term ‘‘harm’’ is defined 

by regulation as ‘‘an act which actually 

kills or injures wildlife. Such act may 

include significant habitat modification 

or degradation where it actually kills or 

injures wildlife by significantly 

impairing essential behavioral patterns, 

including breeding, feeding, or 

sheltering’’ (50 CFR 17.3). The term 

‘‘harass’’ is defined in the regulations as 

‘‘an intentional or negligent act or 

omission which creates the likelihood of 

injury to wildlife by annoying it to such 

an extent as to significantly disrupt 

normal behavioral patterns which 

include, but are not limited to, breeding, 

feeding, or sheltering’’ (50 CFR 17.3). 

Under section 10(a) of the ESA, the 

Service may issue permits to authorize 

incidental take of listed fish and 

wildlife species. ‘‘Incidental take’’ is 

defined by the ESA as take that is 

incidental to, and not the purpose of, 

carrying out an otherwise lawful 

activity. Section 10(a)(1)(B) of the ESA 

contains provisions for issuing 

incidental take permits to non-Federal 

entities for the take of endangered and 

threatened species, provided the 

following criteria are met: 

• The taking will be incidental; 

• The applicant will, to the maximum 

extent practicable, minimize and 

mitigate the impact of such taking; 

• The applicant will develop a 

proposed HCP and ensure that adequate 

funding for the plan will be provided; 

• The taking will not appreciably 

reduce the likelihood of the survival 

and recovery of the species in the wild; 

and 

• The applicant will carry out any 

other measures that the Service may 

require as being necessary or 

appropriate for the purposes of the HCP. 

Regulations governing permits for 

endangered and threatened species are 

at 50 CFR 17.22 and 17.32. 

A permittee may submit an 

application for renewal of their permit 

if they certify that all information in the 

original application remains current and 

correct, unless previously changed or 

corrected. If such information is no 

longer current or correct, they must 

provide corrected information; see 50 

CFR 13.22(a). The Service shall issue a 

renewal of a permit if the issuance 

criteria set forth in 50 CFR 13.21(b) are 

met and the applicant for renewal is not 

disqualified. The Service may deny 

renewal of a permit to an applicant who 

fails to meet the issuance criteria set 

forth in § 13.21 or the parts or sections 

specifically governing the activity for 

which renewal is requested (discussed 

above); see 50 CFR 13.22(d). Under 

certain conditions, an entity holding a 

valid, renewable permit may continue 

the activities authorized by the expired 

permit until the Service acts on the 

application for renewal; see 50 CFR 

13.22(c). 

Covered Species 

The federally endangered Hawaiian 

petrel (Pterodroma sandwichensis), the 

federally endangered Hawaii population 

(distinct population segment (DPS)) of 

the band-rumped storm petrel 

(Oceanodroma castro), and the federally 

threatened Newell’s Townsend’s 

shearwater (Puffinus auricularis newelli) 

or Newell’s shearwater (as a subspecies 

of the Townsend’s shearwater), are 

seabirds that breed on Kauai and feed in 

the open ocean. Each of these species 

spends a large part of the year at sea. 

Adults generally return to their colonial 

nesting grounds in the interior 

mountains of Kauai beginning in March 

and April, and depart beginning in 

September. Juvenile seabirds travel from 

the nesting colony to the sea in the fall. 

Both adults and juveniles are known to 

collide with tall buildings, towers, 

power lines, and other structures while 

flying at night between their nesting 

colonies and at-sea foraging areas. These 

birds, and particularly juveniles, are 

also attracted to bright lights. 

Disoriented birds are commonly 

observed circling repeatedly around 

exterior light sources until they fall to 

the ground or collide with structures. 

KIUC Short-Term HCP 

KIUC is a not-for-profit, tax-exempt 

cooperative association owned by its 

ratepayer/customers and governed by a 

publicly-elected Board of Directors. It 

generates and distributes electricity to 

the entire island of Kauai, Hawaii. 

KIUC’s existing facilities include over 

1,400 miles of electrical transmission 

and distribution lines, two fossil fuelfired generating stations, two 

hydroelectric stations, two 12-megawatt 

solar energy parks, 14 substations, and 

approximately 3,500 streetlights. KIUC 

developed a Short-Term HCP that 

addresses incidental take of the three 

Covered Species caused by the 

operation and maintenance of KIUC’s 

existing and anticipated facilities over a 

period of up to 5 years from 2011 to 

2016. 

In 2011, the KIUC Short-Term HCP 

was approved by the Service, and KIUC 

received a permit for incidental take of 

the Covered Species. The Short-Term 

HCP covers activities within all areas on 

Kauai where KIUC’s facilities (e.g., 

generating stations, power lines, utility 

poles, lights) are located. These 

activities include the continuing 

operation, maintenance, and repair of 

all existing facilities, and the 

construction, operation, maintenance, 

and repair of certain new facilities, 

during the term of the permit. The 

Short-Term HCP describes the impacts 

of take incidental to those activities on 

the Covered Species, and provides 

certain measures to minimize and 

mitigate the impacts of such take on 

each of the Covered Species. 

The Covered Species are subject to 

injury or mortality as a result of 

colliding with KIUC-owned power lines 

and utility infrastructure, and injury or 

mortality as a result of attraction to 

nighttime lighting from KIUC-owned 

and operated streetlights and facilities. 

The Short-Term HCP permit authorized 

an annual take amount of 162 Newell’s 

shearwaters, 2 Hawaiian petrels, and 2 

band-rumped storm petrels over a 5-year 

period, as a result of attraction to, or 

collision with, KIUC facilities. In total, 

the permit authorized a combined take 

amount of 830 sub-adults or adults of 

the Covered Species. 

Current estimates of the Newell’s 

shearwater population on Kauai, where 

90 percent of the total population nests, 

range from 16,400 to 33,400, based on 

at-sea population estimates from 1998 

through 2011 (Joyce 2013). Analyses of 

radar data (a proxy for the breeding 

population) suggest that the Newell’s 

shearwater population on Kauai 

declined 94 percent between 1993 and 

2013 (an average annual rate of 13 

percent) (Raine et al. 2017a). 

The Hawaiian petrel population nests 

on several of the southeastern Hawaiian 

Islands, including Hawaii, Kauai, Lanai, 

and Maui, and the total population is 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
28010 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 116 / Friday, June 15, 2018 / Notices 

estimated at 19,000 individuals (Spear 

et al. 1995). While the majority of the 

breeding population nests on Maui 

within Haleakala ̄ National Park (over 

2,500 nests; HAVO 2015), all extant 

populations of Hawaiian petrels across 

the Hawaiian Islands are biologically 

valuable toward ensuring the survival 

and recovery of the species. The Kauai 

population of Hawaiian petrels 

decreased by 78 percent (an average of 

6 percent per year) between 1993 and 

2013, according to trends in radar data 

over the 20 year period (Raine et al. 

2017a). 

The band-rumped storm-petrel occurs 

in Japan, Hawaii, Galapagos Islands, and 

subtropical areas of the Atlantic. The 

Hawaii DPS of the band-rumped stormpetrel is found on the islands of Hawaii, 

Maui, Kauai, and Lehua. The bandrumped storm-petrel is known to nest in 

remote areas on vegetated to sparsely 

vegetated cliff faces or steeply sloping 

areas on Kauai and Lehua Islet 

(VanderWerf et al. 2007; Raine et al. 

2017b). It has also been known to occur 

in sparsely vegetated areas, highelevation lava fields on Hawaii Island 

(Banko et al. 1991; Banko 2015 in litt.), 

and possibly Haleakala ̄ Crater on Maui, 

where several birds were heard calling 

(Wood et al. 2002). An estimate of the 

number of band-rumped storm-petrels 

within the Hawaiian Islands is not 

available at this time. 

Seabird colony monitoring data reflect 

significant threats from feral pig, cat, 

barn owl, and rat predation, as well as 

habitat degradation from invasive 

plants. Combined with the take caused 

by power line collisions and light 

attraction, the above threats have 

resulted in the dramatic decline of 

several breeding colonies on Kauai, 

including Kalaheo and Kaluahonu, to 

the point of near extirpation (Raine et al. 

2017a). 

The 2011 Short-Term HCP established 

a comprehensive monitoring and 

research program designed to further 

evaluate the impact of the power line 

system on seabird populations and to 

provide key biological data to more 

adequately inform a longer term HCP 

and take authorization. To this end, 

KIUC provides funding to the Kauai 

Endangered Seabird Recovery Project 

(KESRP), a project of the University of 

Hawaii’s Pacific Cooperative Studies 

Unit, to monitor seabird colonies and 

develop approaches to assess seabirdpower line collisions. Due to the remote 

location of many power lines on Kauai 

and the nocturnal behavior of seabirds, 

in 2012, KESRP developed an acoustic 

song-meter monitoring system to detect 

seabird collisions. This acoustic system 

became the foundation for KIUC’s 

Underline Monitoring Program (UMP) 

and has been accepted and is funded by 

KIUC. 

During the course of implementation 

of the KIUC Short-Term HCP, KESRP 

observed a total of 43 seabird power line 

collisions using night vision equipment. 

Of the 43 seabird power line collisions 

observed, four of these collision events 

definitively resulted in an immediate 

grounded bird within the observer’s 

field of view. Additionally, about 25 

deceased Newell’s shearwaters have 

been opportunistically found from 2011 

through 2015, associated with KIUC 

power lines or lights. The acoustic 

system, which is able to monitor the 

power lines for seabird collisions more 

extensively than human observers can, 

has detected a minimum in excess of 

1,000 seabird collision events annually 

in 2014, 2015, and 2016 (KIUC ShortTerm HCP 2014, 2015, and 2016 UMP 

Reports). Despite the above strike 

monitoring data, the applicant has only 

requested take authorization at the 

original permit level of 166 listed 

seabirds per year in its permit renewal 

application. KIUC’s request for 

extension without an amendment means 

its actual take would likely continue to 

exceed the authorized level should the 

permit be renewed. 

Since 2012, KESRP, in collaboration 

with KIUC, has identified all high and 

medium risk power line spans that pose 

a threat to the Covered Species. These 

high and medium risk lines are 

continually monitored every year, and 

those data are used to plan and test for 

effective minimization measures, 

including reconfiguring lines or 

installing bird diverters. While the 

acoustic system has been successful in 

detecting seabird power line collisions, 

only a subset of the power line system 

can be monitored and therefore 

collisions outside of the monitored areas 

must be estimated. Moreover, while a 

minimum of over 1,000 seabird collision 

events have been detected in 2016, the 

fate of the birds that collided with these 

lines is unknown. Based on KESRP field 

observations, it is certain that some 

portion of these collisions results in 

immediate grounding or mortality, and 

that some additional proportion results 

in harm or injury, or potential mortality 

sometime after the collision event. 

Previous scientific studies based on 

waterfowl and their interactions with 

power lines have estimated that this 

subsequent mortality after the collision 

event could range from 20 percent to 74 

percent of total detected collisions 

(Bevanger 1995; Bevanger 1999; 

Beaulaurier 1981; and Shaw et al. 2010). 

The Short-Term HCP has been 

successful in guiding measures that 

KIUC has implemented to partially 

mitigate the impacts of the taking of the 

Covered Species caused by its existing 

facilities, increasing knowledge related 

to the impact of KIUC’s power line 

system on seabird populations, 

providing key biological data 

concerning the Covered Species, and 

improving our understanding of the 

effectiveness of conservation measures 

to more adequately inform a longer term 

habitat conservation plan and take 

authorization. 

Since 2011, under the Short-Term 

HCP, KIUC spent approximately $7.7 

million to implement seabird colony 

management (i.e., predator control and 

seabird monitoring) and the retrieval 

and rehabilitation of seabirds on Kauai. 

KIUC has undergrounded or 

reconfigured 25 percent of their 

identified high collision-risk power 

lines since 2011 and installed bird 

deterrent devices to minimize impacts 

from high collision-risk power lines. 

Although KIUC’s current mitigation and 

minimization programs are meaningful, 

these efforts are likely not 

commensurate with the actual level of 

take occurring. 

The Short-Term HCP permit 

expiration date was in May 2016. On 

April 12, 2016, one month before permit 

expiration, we received an application 

for renewal of that permit pending 

preparation of a Long-Term HCP. 

Request for Information 

We specifically request information 

from the public on whether the 

application meets the statutory and 

regulatory requirements and criteria for 

renewal of a permit. We are also 

soliciting information regarding the 

adequacy of a potentially renewed 

Short-Term HCP and permit to 

minimize, mitigate, and monitor the 

impacts of the taking of the Covered 

Species caused by KIUC’s covered 

activities, and to provide for adaptive 

management for an indefinite period 

until the Service renders a decision on 

a Long-Term HCP and permit 

application currently under 

development by KIUC, as evaluated 

against our permit issuance criteria 

found in section 10(a) of the ESA, 16 

U.S.C. 1539(a), and 50 CFR 13.21, 17.22, 

and 17.32.

The DEA has considered the factors in 

21 U.S.C. 823, 952(a) and 958(a) and 

determined that the registration of the 

listed registrants to import the 

applicable basic classes of schedule I or 

II controlled substances is consistent 

with the public interest and with United 

States obligations under international 

treaties, conventions, or protocols in 

effect on May 1, 1971. The DEA 

investigated each company’s 

maintenance of effective controls 

against diversion by inspecting and 

testing each company’s physical 

security systems, verifying each 

company’s compliance with state and 

local laws, and reviewing each 

company’s background and history.
