SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

A Candidate Conservation Agreement 

with Assurances is an agreement with 

the Service in which private and other 

non-Federal landowners voluntarily 

agree to undertake management 

activities and conservation efforts on 

their properties to enhance, restore, or 

maintain habitat to benefit species that 

are proposed for listing under the Act, 

that are candidates for listing, or that 

may become candidates. The Service 

and several State, Federal, and local 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 62 / Wednesday, April 1, 2015 / Notices 17477 

partners developed the Umbrella CCAA 

(available at http://www.fws.gov/

wyominges) to provide Wyoming 

ranchers with the opportunity to 

voluntarily conserve greater sage-grouse 

and its habitat while carrying out their 

ranching activities. The Umbrella CCAA 

was made available for public review 

and comment on February 7, 2013 (see 

78 FR 9066), and was executed by the 

Service on November 8, 2013. 

Pursuant to the Umbrella CCAA, 

ranchers in Wyoming may apply for an 

EOS permit under the Act by agreeing 

to implement certain conservation 

measures for the greater sage-grouse on 

their properties. These conservation 

measures are specified in individual 

CCAAs for their properties, which are 

developed in accordance with the 

Umbrella CCAA and are subject to the 

terms and conditions stated in that 

agreement. Landowners consult with 

the Service and other participating 

agencies to develop an individual CCAA 

for their property, and submit it to the 

Service for approval with their EOS 

permit application. If we approve the 

individual CCAA and EOS permit 

application, we will issue an EOS 

permit, under section 10(a)(1)(A) of the 

Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), that 

authorizes incidental take of greater 

sage-grouse that results from activities 

covered by the individual CCAA, 

should the species become listed. 

Through the Umbrella CCAA and the 

individual CCAA and EOS permit, we 

also provide assurances to participating 

landowners that, if the greater sagegrouse is listed, and so long as they are 

properly implementing their individual 

CCAA, we will not require any 

conservation measures with respect to 

greater sage-grouse in addition to those 

provided in the individual CCAA or 

impose additional land, water, or 

financial commitments or restrictions 

on land, water, or resource use in 

connection with the species. The EOS 

permit would become effective on the 

effective date of listing of the greater 

sage-grouse as endangered or 

threatened, and would continue through 

the end of the individual CCAA’s 20- 

year term. Regulatory requirements and 

issuance criteria for EOS permits 

through a CCAA are found in 50 CFR 

17.22(d) and 17.32(d), as well as 50 CFR 

part 13. 

Applications Available for Review and 

Comment 

We invite local, State, and Federal 

agencies and the public to comment on 

the following EOS permit applications. 

The Umbrella CCAA, as well as the 

individual CCAAs submitted with the 

permit applications, are also available

of the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) and 

Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 

552). The following applicants request 

approval of EOS permits for the greater 

sage-grouse, pursuant to the Umbrella 

CCAA, for the purpose of enhancing the
