incidental take of the covered species 

would occur from lawful, non-Federal 

activities from groundwater 

withdrawals from registered wells (nonexempt) in the Edwards Aquifer that are 

authorized and regulated under the 

BSEACD’s permitting program and 

activities necessary to manage potential 

habitat for the covered species within 

the permit area (covered activities). The 

BSEACD HCP Plan Area includes Hays 

and Travis Counties, Texas. The final 

EIS considers the direct, indirect, and 

cumulative effects of implementing the 

HCP, including the measures that will 

be implemented to minimize and 

mitigate such impacts to the maximum 

extent practicable. 

Section 9 of the ESA and its 

implementing regulations in title 50 of 

the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 

prohibit ‘‘take’’ of fish and wildlife 

species listed as endangered or 

threatened under the ESA. The ESA 

defines ‘‘take’’ as ‘‘to harass, harm, 

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

capture, or collect listed animal species, 

or attempt to engage in such conduct’’ 

(16 U.S.C. 1533). The term ‘‘harm’’ is 

defined in the regulations as significant 

habitat modification or degradation that 

results in death or injury to listed 

species by significantly impairing 

essential behavioral patterns, including 

breeding, feeding, or sheltering (50 CFR 

17.3). However, we may, under 

specified circumstances, issue permits 

that allow the take of federally listed 

species, provided that the take is 

incidental to, but not the purpose of, 

otherwise lawful activity. Regulations 

governing ITPs for endangered and 

threatened species are at 50 CFR 17.22 

and 17.32, respectively. 

On July 18, 2017, we issued a draft 

EIS and requested public comment on 

our evaluation of the potential impacts 

associated with issuance of an ITP for 

implementation of the BSEACD HCP 

and to evaluate alternatives (82 FR 

32861). We held a public meeting in 

Austin, Texas, August 22, 2017. The 

public comment period closed on 

September 18, 2017. 

We identified key issues and relevant 

factors through public scoping and 

meetings, working with other agencies 

and groups, and reviewing comments 

from the public. We received responses 

from one local government agency and 

two nongovernmental agencies. We 

believe these comments are addressed 

and reasonably accommodated in the 

final documents, and we have included 

the public’s comments and our 

responses in Appendix A5–1 of the final 

EIS. 

Decision 

We intend to issue an ITP allowing 

the applicants to implement the 

BSEACD HCP. Our decision is based on 

a thorough review of the alternatives 

and their environmental consequences. 

Implementing this decision entails 

issuing an ITP to BSEACD and full 

implementation of the HCP by the 

applicants, including minimization and 

mitigation measures, monitoring and 

adaptive management, and complying 

with all terms and conditions in the ITP. 

A final ITP decision will be made no 

sooner than 30 days after the 

publication of this notice of availability 

and completion of the record of 

decision. 

EPA’s Role in the EIS Process 

In addition, EPA published a notice 

on July 13, 2018, in the Federal Register 

announcing the EIS for the April 2018 

Habitat Conservation Plan for Managed 

Groundwater Withdrawals from the 

Barton Springs Segment of the Edwards 

Aquifer, as required under the Clean Air 

Act, section 309. The EPA’s publication 

date of the notice of availability is the 

official beginning of the public review 

period. The EPA is charged with 

reviewing all Federal agencies’ EISs and 

commenting on the adequacy and 

acceptability of the environmental 

impacts of proposed actions in EISs. 

The EPA also serves as the repository 

(EIS database) for EISs, which Federal 

agencies prepare. All EISs must be filed 

with EPA, which publishes a notice of 

availability on Fridays in the Federal 

Register. For more information, see 

https://www.epa.gov/nepa. You may 

search for EPA comments on EISs, along 

with EISs themselves, at https://

Authority: We provide this notice 

under section 10(c) of the ESA (16 

U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and its 

implementing regulations (50 CFR 17.22 

and 17.32) and NEPA (42 U.S.C. 4321 et 

seq.) and its implementing regulations 

(40 CFR 1506.6).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background.—On Monday April 9, 

2018, the Commission determined that 

circumstances related to the subject 

five-year review were such that a full 

review should proceed (83 FR 17446, 

April 19, 2018); accordingly, a full 

review is being scheduled pursuant to 

section 751(c)(5) of the Tariff Act of 

1930 (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)). A record of 

the Commissioners’ votes, the

of institution of the review need not 

reapply for such access. A separate 

service list will be maintained by the 

Secretary for those parties authorized to 

receive BPI under the APO.

at the hearing. All parties and 

nonparties desiring to appear at the 

hearing and make oral presentations 

should participate in a prehearing 

conference to be held on October 16, 

2018, at the U.S. International Trade 

Commission Building, if deemed

materials to be submitted at the public 

hearing are governed by sections 

201.6(b)(2), 201.13(f), 207.24, and 

207.66 of the Commission’s rules.

of section 207.65 of the Commission’s 

rules; the deadline for filing is October 

10, 2018. Parties may also file written 

testimony in connection with their 

presentation at the hearing, as provided 

in section 207.24 of the Commission’s 

rules, and posthearing briefs, which 

must conform with the provisions of 

section 207.67 of the Commission’s

provisions of section 201.8 of the 

Commission’s rules; any submissions 

that contain BPI must also conform with 

the requirements of sections 201.6, 

207.3, and 207.7 of the Commission’s 

rules. The Commission’s Handbook on 

E-Filing, available on the Commission’s 

website at https://edis.usitc.gov, 

elaborates upon the Commission’s rules 

with respect to electronic filing. 

Additional written submissions to the 

Commission, including requests

either the public or BPI service list), and 

a certificate of service must be timely 

filed. The Secretary will not accept a 

document for filing without a certificate 

of service. 

The Commission has determined that 

this review is extraordinarily 

complicated and therefore has 

determined to exercise its authority to 

extend the review period by up to 90 

days pursuant to 19 U.S.C.1675(c)(5)(B). 

Authority: This review is being 

conducted under authority of title VII of 

the Tariff Act of 1930; this notice is 

published pursuant to section 207.62 of
