SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Technical Resource for Incident 

Prevention (TRIPwire) 

TRIPwire (Technical Resource for 

Incident Prevention) is the Department 

of Homeland Security’s online, 

collaborative information-sharing 

network for bomb technicians, first 

responders, military personnel, 

government officials, intelligence 

analysts, and select private sector 

security professionals to increase 

awareness of evolving improvised 

explosive device (IED) tactics, 

techniques, and procedures, as well as 

incident lessons learned and counterIED preparedness information. 

Developed and maintained by OBP, the 

TRIPwire system combines expert 

analysis and reports with relevant 

documents, images, and videos gathered 

from publicly available sources to help 

users anticipate, identify, and prevent 

IED incidents. 

Users from federal, state, local, and 

tribal government entities, as well as 

business and/or other for-profit 

industries, can register for TRIPwire 

access. The TRIPwire portal contains 

sensitive information related to the 

criminal use of explosives by threat 

actors, including violent, malicious 

organizations, which requires a limited, 

controlled means of dissemination— 

such as designations of ‘‘For Official 

Use Only,’’ ‘‘Law Enforcement 

Sensitive,’’ or ‘‘Controlled Unclassified 

Information.’’ Therefore, CISA must 

collect user information in order to 

verify an individual’s eligibility to 

access the TRIPwire system. 

In addition to new user registrations, 

CISA will also seek feedback from 

TRIPwire users via a questionnaire and 

will request that TRIPwire users 

revalidate their access status on an 

annual basis. All information collected/ 

provided pursuant to this ICR will be 

done so on a strictly voluntary basis. 

This collection of information is 

consistent with CISA’s statutory 

authorities to provide assistance to 

federal and non-federal entities to 

enhance the security and resiliency of 

critical infrastructure, including the 

authority provided by 6 U.S.C. 652(c)(5), 

(11) and 6 U.S.C. 652(e)(1)(C). 

The Office of Management and Budget 

is particularly interested in comments 

which: 

1. Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

4. Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses. 

This is a reinstatement of an existing 

collection (1670–0028) with changes to 

the information collection.

Final Environmental Impact Statement 

for the Elliott State Research Forest 

Habitat Conservation Plan in Coos and 

Douglas Counties; Oregon 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of availability; final 

environmental impact statement. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service (FWS) announces the 

availability of a final environmental 

impact statement (FEIS) for the 

evaluation of incidental take permit 

applications and a supporting habitat 

conservation plan (HCP) developed by 

the Oregon Department of State Lands 

(ODSL; applicant). The applicant seeks 

incidental take permits from FWS and 

the National Marine Fisheries Service 

(together, the Services) to authorize the 

incidental take of three species expected 

to result from research and management 

activities on the Elliott State Research 

Forest in Coos and Douglas Counties, 

Oregon. With this notice, we also make 

available the final Elliott State Research 

Forest Habitat Conservation Plan 

submitted by the applicant. 

DATES: The Services’ decisions on the 

incidental take permit applications will 

occur no sooner than 30 days after 

publication of the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency’s notice of 

availability of the FEIS in the Federal 

Register, and will be documented in 

records of decision by the Services.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the 

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) 

announce the availability of a final 

environmental impact statement (FEIS) 

to address the Oregon Department of 

State Lands’ (ODSL; applicant) proposal 

related to its activities in managing the 

Elliott State Research Forest (ESRF) 

pursuant to ODSL’s Habitat 

Conservation Plan (ESRF HCP). In 

accordance with the requirements of the 

Endangered Species Act, as amended 

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

applicant seeks an incidental take 

permit (ITP) authorizing take of the 

threatened northern spotted owl (Strix 

occidentalis caurina), threatened 

marbled murrelet (Brachyramphus 

marmoratus), and threatened Oregon 

Coast coho salmon (Oncorhynchus 

kisutch) (together, the covered species). 

Incidental take permits for the northern 

spotted owl and marbled murrelet fall 

under the jurisdiction of FWS; 

incidental take permits for the Oregon 

Coast coho salmon fall under the 

jurisdiction of the National Marine 

Fisheries Service (NMFS) (together, the 

Services). 

If issued, the ITPs would authorize 

take of the covered species that may 

occur incidental to a variety of research 

and management activities on the Elliott 

State Research Forest (ESRF) in Coos 

and Douglas Counties, Oregon, for a 

period of 80 years. In support of the ITP 

applications, ODSL prepared the ESRF 

HCP to specify the impacts that will 

likely result from the take of covered 

species and the steps the applicant 

would take to avoid, minimize, and 

mitigate such impacts. The applicant’s 

HCP also explains proposed monitoring 

and adaptive management procedures, 

changed circumstances, and funding 

assurances for HCP implementation. 

The Service, with input from NMFS, 

Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF), 

and the Oregon Department of Fish and 

Wildlife (ODFW) as cooperating 

agencies, prepared the Final EIS 

pursuant to the Council on 

Environmental Quality’s (CEQ’s) 

implementing NEPA regulations at 40 

CFR parts 1500–1508, effective on May 

20, 2022 (87 FR 23453) and the 

Department of the Interior’s NEPA 

regulations at 43 CFR part 46. The Final 

EIS provides updates and clarifications 

to information presented in the Draft 

EIS, including revisions in response to 

issues raised in comments received 

during the public review period for that 

document, and identifies a preferred 

alternative. 

Background 

Section 9 of the Endangered Species 

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

prohibits ‘‘take’’ of fish and wildlife 

species listed as endangered under 

section 4 (16 U.S.C. 1538 and 16 U.S.C. 

1533). The ESA implementing 

regulations extend, under certain 

circumstances, the prohibition of take to 

threatened species (50 CFR 17.31). 

Under section 3 of the ESA, the term 

‘‘take’’ means to ‘‘harass, harm, pursue, 

hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, 

or collect, or attempt to engage in any 

such conduct’’ (16 U.S.C. 1532(19)). The 

term ‘‘harm’’ is defined by FWS 

regulations as ‘‘an act which actually 

kills or injures wildlife. Such act may 

include significant habitat modification 

or degradation where it actually kills or 

injures wildlife by significantly 

impairing essential behavioral patterns, 

including breeding, feeding, or 

sheltering’’ (50 CFR 17.3; see 50 CFR 

222.102 for NMFS regulations). 

Under section 10(a) of the ESA, the 

Services may issue permits to authorize 

incidental take of listed fish and 

wildlife species. ‘‘Incidental take’’ is 

take that is incidental to, and not the 

purpose of, carrying out an otherwise 

lawful activity. Section 10(a)(1)(B) of the 

ESA contains provisions for issuing 

ITPs to non-Federal entities for the take 

of endangered and threatened species, 

provided the following criteria are met: 

1. The taking will be incidental; 

2. The applicant will, to the 

maximum extent practicable, minimize 

and mitigate the impact of such taking; 

3. The applicant will ensure that 

adequate funding for the plan will be 

provided; 

4. The taking will not appreciably 

reduce the likelihood of the survival 

and recovery of the species in the wild; 

and 

5. The applicant will carry out any 

other measures that FWS (or NMFS) 

may require as being necessary or 

appropriate for the purposes of the HCP. 

ODSL is requesting authorization of 

incidental take of the threatened 

northern spotted owl (Strix occidentalis 

caurina), threatened marbled murrelet 

(Brachyramphus marmoratus), and 

threatened Oregon Coast coho salmon 

(Oncorhynchus kisutch) (together, the 

covered species) for covered activities in 

management of the ESRF located in 

Coos and Douglas Counties in 

southwestern Oregon. ODSL is seeking 

authorization for incidental take for a 

variety of research and management 

activities, including forest research 

treatments, timber removal, forest and 

species research projects, supporting 

management activities, supporting 

infrastructure management, and 

activities identified in the conservation 

strategy and monitoring program that 

may result in effects on covered species. 

These activities and the effects on 

covered species and the environment 

are described further in the HCP and 

FEIS. The proposed permit term is 80 

years. 

Measures to minimize and mitigate 

impacts on covered species are 

described in the HCP for each species as 

conservation measures and conditions 

on covered activities, guided by goals 

and objectives in the conservation 

strategy of the HCP. ODSL would 

monitor implementation of these 

measures for compliance and 

effectiveness. Minimization and 

mitigation measures are subject to 

adaptive management to ensure 

achievement of the ESRF HCP’s 

biological goals and objectives. 

The ESRF HCP includes funding 

information and assurances, monitoring 

requirements, adaptive management, 

and provisions for changed and 

unforeseen circumstances to help 

ensure conservation outcomes for the 

covered species over the permit term. 

Annual reports to the Services would 

confirm the amount, type, and location 

of impacts and mitigation, as well as the 

status of monitoring, adaptive 

management, changed circumstances, 

and funding. 

National Environmental Policy Act 

The proposed issuance of an ITP 

supported by the HCP is a Federal 

action under the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA; 42 

U.S.C. 4321 et seq.). The EIS was 

prepared consistent with the Council on 

Environmental Quality’s NEPA 

regulations (40 CFR 1500–1508, May 

2022) and the Department of the 

Interior’s NEPA regulations (43 CFR part 

46). FWS is the Federal lead agency 

responsible for preparing the EIS; 

NMFS, ODF, and ODFW were 

cooperating agencies. As a cooperating 

agency, NMFS may adopt the EIS in 

accordance with 40 CFR 1506.3. 

The purpose of the Federal action 

considered in the EIS is to fulfill the 

Services’ section 10(a)(1)(B) 

conservation authorities and obligations 

under the ESA to address the 

applications requesting authorization of 

incidental take of three species listed as 

threatened under the ESA, the northern 

spotted owl, marbled murrelet, and 

Oregon Coast coho salmon. The need for 

the Federal action is to respond to the 

applicant’s request for incidental take 

permits for the covered species and 


khammond on DSK9W7S144PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 6 / Friday, January 10, 2025 / Notices 2015 

covered activities as described in the 

HCP. 

The proposed action, identified as the 

preferred alternative in the FEIS, is the 

issuance of an ITP and implementation 

of the HCP. The FEIS analyzed the 

proposed action, a no action alternative, 

and two alternatives to the proposed 

action, including the environmental 

consequences of each alternative. All 

action alternatives include issuance of 

an ITP for take of three covered species. 

Public Involvement 

FWS published a notice of intent to 

prepare an EIS, opening a public 

scoping period on May 5, 2022 (87 FR 

26778), which closed on June 6, 2022. 

A virtual public scoping meeting was 

held May 16, 2022. FWS prepared a 

DEIS and opened a 45-day public 

comment period on the DEIS and draft 

HCP on November 18, 2022 (87 FR 

69291), followed by a 7-day extension 

(published December 20, 2022, 87 FR 

77877). A virtual public meeting was 

held on December 13, 2022, during the 

comment period, which ended on 

January 10, 2023. A total of 170 public 

comments were received during the 

DEIS comment period, including 

duplicates. In preparing the FEIS, FWS 

considered all of the public comments 

on the DEIS and draft HCP, and the FEIS 

includes a response to substantive 

comments received. 

Environmental Protection Agency’s 

Role in the EIS Process 

The Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA) is charged under section 309 of 

the Clean Air Act with reviewing all 

Federal agencies’ EISs and commenting 

on the adequacy and acceptability of the 

environmental impacts of proposed 

actions. Under the CEQ NEPA 

regulations, EPA is also responsible for 

administering the EIS filing process. 

EPA is publishing a notice in the 

Federal Register announcing this FEIS. 

EPA serves as the repository (EIS 

database) for EISs prepared by Federal 

agencies. You may search for EPA 

comments on EISs, along with EISs 

themselves, at https://cdxapps.epa.gov/ 

cdx-enepa-II/public/action/eis/search. 

Next Steps and Decision To Be Made 

FWS will evaluate the associated 

documents and public comments 

received in reaching a final decision on 

the proposed issuance of ITPs. No 

earlier than 30 days after the EPA’s 

notice of the FEIS is published in the 

Federal Register, FWS expects to 

complete a record of decision pursuant 

to 40 CFR 1505.2, in accordance with 

applicable timeframes established in 40 

CFR 1506.11. FWS expects to issue a 

record of decision by spring 2025. 

NMFS will independently document 

their decision at the conclusion of the 

ESA and NEPA compliance processes. 

Authority 

We provide this notice in accordance 

with the requirements of NEPA and its 

implementing regulations (40 CFR 

1506.6).
