covered by the CCA/CCAA and permit. 

In addition, the amendments are not 

expected to result in impacts beyond 

those identified in the original EA. 

The proposed CCA/CCAA 

amendments are not expected to 

significantly affect industry or ranching 

activities but would help support these 

activities by streamlining ESA 

compliance, while continuing 

conservation efforts for the LPC and 

DSL. These amendments are expected to 

trigger no new environmental 

consequences; no new impacts to local 

economies or cultural resources; and no 

changes to direct, indirect, and 

cumulative effects. The amendments 

would not authorize any additional 

activities or incidental take. The same 

types and quantities of activities 

previously described in the original EA 

are expected to occur with the proposed 

amendments. 

Next Steps 

We will evaluate the draft 

amendments, draft EA, and comments 

we receive during the comment period 

to determine whether the proposed 

amendment meets the requirements of 

ESA, NEPA, and implementing 

regulations. If we determine that all 

requirements are met, we will approve 

the proposed amendment to the CCA/ 

CCAA. We will not make our final 

decision until after the 30-day comment 

period ends and we have fully 

considered all comments received 

during the public comment period. 

Public Availability of Comments 

All comments we receive become part 

of the public record associated with this 

action. Requests for copies of comments 

will be handled in accordance with the 

Freedom of Information Act, NEPA, and

identifying themselves as 

representatives or officials of

their entirety.
