DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Fish and Wildlife Service

Availability of an Environmental

Assessment and Receipt of an

Application for an Incidental Take

Permit for the Natomas Basin Habitat

Conservation Plan, Sacramento and

Sutter Counties, CA

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

SUMMARY: This notice advises the public

that the City of Sacramento has applied

to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for

an incidental take permit pursuant to

section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Endangered

Species Act of 1973, as amended. The

application has been assigned permit

number PRT–823773. The proposed

permit would authorize the incidental

take of the federally threatened giant

garter snake (Thamnophis gigas),

Aleutian Canada goose (Branta

canadensis leucopareia), valley

elderberry longhorn beetle (Desmocerus

californicus dimorphus), and vernal

pool fairy shrimp (Branchinecta lynchi);

the federally endangered peregrine

falcon (Falco peregrinus anatum),

conservancy fairy shrimp (Branchinecta

conservatio), longhorn fairy shrimp

(Branchinecta longiantenna), vernal

pool tadpole shrimp (Lepidurus

packardi), and palmate bird’s beak

(Cordylanthus palmatus); the proposed

threatened slender orcutt grass (Orcuttia

tenuis) and hairy orcutt grass (Orcuttia

pilosa); and the proposed endangered

Sacramento orcutt grass (Orcuttia

viscida). The proposed taking of these

species would be incidental to

development for urban uses within the

55,000-acre Natomas Basin in

Sacramento and Sutter Counties. The

proposed permit also would authorize

future incidental take of the currently

unlisted California tiger salamander

(Ambystoma tigrinum californiense),

Swainson’s hawk (Buteo swainsoni),

greater sandhill crane (Grus canadensis

tubida), bank swallow (Riparia riparia),

Boggs Lake hedge-hyssop (Gratiaola

heterosepala) and Ahart’s dwarf flax

(Juncus leiospermus var ahartii), should

any of these species become listed

under the Endangered Species Act in

the future. The permit would be in

effect for 50 years.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

also announces the availability of an

Environmental Assessment for the

incidental take permit application,

which includes the proposed Habitat

Conservation Plan fully describing the

proposed project and mitigation, and

the accompanying Implementing

Agreement. This notice is provided

pursuant to section 10(a) of the

Endangered Species Act and National

Environmental Policy Act regulations

(40 CFR 1506.6). All comments,

including names and addresses,

received will become part of the official

administrative record and may be made

available to the public.
