SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Service has received an incidental take 

permit (ITP) application from the 

MidAmerican Energy Company in 

accordance with the requirements of the 

Endangered Species Act, as amended 

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

applicant has prepared a draft habitat 

conservation plan (HCP) in support of 

the ITP application and is seeking 

authorization for take of the federally 

endangered Indiana bat, federally 

threatened northern long-eared bat, and 

federally protected bald eagle, in 

addition to the little brown bat and 

tricolored bat. Little brown bat and 

tricolored bat are not federally 

protected, but they are currently being 

evaluated for protection under ESA. The 

applicant has chosen to include these as 

covered species, and they will be treated 

as if they were ESA listed. The ITP, if 

issued, would authorize incidental take 

of these species that may occur as a 

result of the operation of wind facilities 

in 22 Iowa counties over a 30-year 

permit term. The draft HCP describes 

how impacts to the covered species will 

be minimized and mitigated. The draft 

HCP also describes the covered species’ 

life history and ecology, biological goals
