restrictions as a result of efforts to 

attract or increase the numbers or 

distribution of a listed species on their 

property. Application requirements and 

issuance criteria for permits through 

safe harbor agreements are found in 50 

CFR 17.22(c) and 50 CFR 17.32(c). 

We have worked with the applicant to 

develop the proposed agreement for the 

conservation of the Smith’s blue 

butterfly and California red-legged frog 

on the property subject to the agreement 

(enrolled property), which is owned and 

managed by the applicant. The enrolled 

property is Garrapata State Park in 

Monterey County, California. Within the 

2,902 acres of land within the enrolled 

property, habitat for the Smith’s blue 

butterfly and California red-legged frog 

will be restored, enhanced, and 

managed under a written agreement 

between the applicant and Service. We 

expect that the activities proposed in 

the agreement will result in an increase 

in suitable habitat for these species and 

provide for their increase in number and 

their expansion into additional areas 

that are currently not occupied, thus 

resulting in a net conservation benefit 

for these species. 

The agreement provides for the 

restoration, enhancement, and 

management of habitat suitable for the 

Smith’s blue butterfly and California 

red-legged frog at the enrolled property. 

The proposed duration of the agreement 

is 15 years, and the proposed term of the 

enhancement of survival permit is 15 

years. The agreement fully describes the 

proposed management activities to be 

undertaken by the applicant and the net 

conservation benefits expected to be 

gained for the Smith’s blue butterfly and 

California red-legged frog. 

Upon approval of the agreement and 

satisfactory completion of all other 

applicable legal requirements, and 

consistent with the Service’s Safe 

Harbor Policy published in the Federal 

Register on June 17, 1999 (64 FR 32717), 

the Service would issue a permit to the 

applicant authorizing take of the 

Smith’s blue butterfly and California 

red-legged frog incidental to the 

implementation of the management 

activities specified in the agreement; 

incidental to surveys and monitoring; 

and incidental to the return to preagreement conditions (baseline). 

Management activities included in the 

agreement will provide for the 

restoration, enhancement, and 

management of native habitats within 

the enrolled property. The objective of 

such activities is to enhance the 

populations of Smith’s blue butterflies 

and California red-legged frogs by 

increasing the quality and quantity of 

suitable habitat on the enrolled 

property. Take of Smith’s blue 

butterflies and California red-legged 

frogs incidental to the aforementioned 

activities is unlikely; however, it is 

possible that in the course of such 

activities or other lawful activities on 

the enrolled property, the applicant 

could incidentally take Smith’s blue 

butterflies or California red-legged frogs 

thereby necessitating take authority 

under the permit. 

Baseline conditions have been 

determined for the enrolled property 

based on the occurrence of the Smith’s 

blue butterfly and California red-legged 

frog and the extent of suitable habitat for 

the respective species as provided in the 

agreement. The applicant must maintain 

baseline conditions on the enrolled 

property in order to receive coverage 

regarding incidental take of Smith’s blue 

butterflies and California red-legged 

frogs. The agreement and requested 

permit would allow the applicant to 

return to baseline conditions after the 

end of the term of the agreement and 

prior to the expiration of the 15-year 

permit, if so desired by the applicant. 

Public Review and Comments 

The Service has made a preliminary 

determination that the proposed 

agreement and permit application are 

eligible for categorical exclusion under 

the National Environmental Policy Act 

of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.). 

We explain the basis for this 

determination in an Environmental 

Action Statement, which also is 

available for public review. 

Individuals wishing copies of the 

permit application, copies of our draft 

Environmental Action Statement, and 

copies of the agreement, including a 

map of the proposed permit area, should 

contact the Ventura Fish and Wildlife 

Office (see ADDRESSES). 

If you wish to comment on the permit 

application or the agreement, you may 

submit your comments to one of the 

addresses listed in the ADDRESSES

section of this document. Comments 

and materials received, including names 

and addresses of respondents, will be 

available for public review, by 

appointment, during normal business 

hours at the address in the ADDRESSES

section above and will become part of 

the public record, under section 10(c) of 

the Act. 

Before including your address, phone 

number, email address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you can ask us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so. 

We will evaluate this permit 

application, associated documents, and 

comments we receive to determine 

whether the permit application meets 

the requirements of section 10(a) of the 

Act and NEPA regulations. If we 

determine that the requirements are 

met, we will sign the proposed 

agreement and issue an enhancement of 

survival permit under section 

10(a)(1)(A) of the Act to the applicant 

for take of the Smith’s blue butterfly and 

California red-legged frog incidental to 

otherwise lawful activities in 

accordance with the terms of the 

agreement. We will not make our final 

decision until after the end of the 30- 

day comment period and will fully 

consider all comments we receive 

during the comment period. 

The Service provides this notice 

under section 10(c) of the Act and under 

implementing regulations for NEPA 

(40 CFR 1506.6).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The U.S. Geological Survey is 

required to collect, evaluate, publish 

and distribute information concerning 

earthquakes. Respondents have an 

opportunity to voluntarily supply 

information concerning the effects of 

shaking from an earthquake—on 

themselves, buildings, other man-made 

structures, and ground effects such as 

faulting or landslides. Respondents’ 

observations are interpreted in terms of 

numbers that measure the strength of 

shaking, and the resulting numbers are 

displayed on maps that are viewable 

from USGS earthquake Web sites. 

Observations are submitted via the Felt 

Report questionnaire accessed from the 

USGS Did You Feel It? Earthquake Web 

pages, and may be submitted via 

computer or mobile phone. Respondents 

are asked to provide information on the 

location to which the report pertains. 

The locations may, at the respondent’s 

option, be given imprecisely (city-name 

or postal Zip Code) or precisely (street 

address, geographic coordinates, or 

current location determined by the 

user’s mobile phone). Low resolution 

maps of shaking based on both precise 

and imprecise observations are 

published for all earthquakes for which 

observations are submitted. For 

earthquakes felt by many respondents, 

the observations that are associated with 

more precise locations are used in the 

preparation of higher resolution maps of 

earthquake shaking. 

We will protect information from 

respondents considered proprietary 

under the Freedom of Information Act 

(5 U.S.C. 552) and implementing 

regulations (43 CFR part 2), and under 

regulations at 30 CFR 250.197, ‘‘Data 

and information to be made available to 

the public or for limited inspection.’’ 

Responses are voluntary. No questions 

of a ‘‘sensitive’’ nature are asked. We 

will release data collected on these 

forms only in formats that do not 

include proprietary information 

volunteered by respondents.

you are not required to respond to a 

collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number and current expiration date. 

III. Request for Comments 

We are soliciting comments as to: (a) 

Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the agency 

to perform its duties, including whether 

the information is useful; (b) the 

accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information; (c) ways to enhance the 

quality, usefulness, and clarity of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

As sovereignties, federally recognized 

tribes have the right to establish their 

own probate codes. When those probate 

codes govern the descent and 

distribution of trust or restricted 

property, they must be approved by the 

Secretary of the Department of the 

Interior. The American Indian Probate 

Reform Act of 2004 (AIPRA) 

amendments to the Indian Land 

Consolidation Act, 25 U.S.C. 2201 et
