(Applicant), is seeking an incidental

take permit from the Fish and Wildlife

Service (Service), pursuant to section

Act of 1973 (Act), as amended. The

permit would authorize the take of up

to six endangered red-cockaded

woodpecker, Picoides borealis, in

Vernon Parish, Louisiana, for a period of

6 months. The proposed taking is

incidental to otherwise lawful timber

harvesting on 137 acres (Project). The

entire site is considered occupied by

red-cockaded woodpecker and will be

permanently altered.

The Service also announces the

availability of an environmental

assessment (EA) and habitat

conservation plan (HCP) for the

incidental take application. Copies of

the EA or HCP may be obtained by

making a request to the Regional Office

address below. This notice is provided

pursuant to section 10(c) of the Act and

National Environmental Policy Act

Regulations (40 CFR 1506.6).

DATES: Written comments on the permit

application, EA, and HCP should be

received on or before June 15, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Persons wishing to review

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Will

McDearman at the Jackson, Mississippi,

Field Office, or Rick G. Gooch at the

Atlanta, Georgia, Regional Office.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Picoides

borealis is a non-migratory resident of

mature pine forests of the Southeastern

United States. All Picoides borealis in

the State of Louisiana are considered

part of the Louisiana coastal plain

population. The two family groups of

Picoides borealis on the Applicant’s

property are considered to be part of the

Vernon district’s population of the

Kisatchie National Forest. Populations

on the Kisatchie and adjoining Fort Polk

have increased in the last several years

due to improvements in timber

management and overall species

management directives.

For purposes of mitigation and

minimization of the impacts to the

species, the Applicant’s HCP proposes

to translocate adult and subadult

Picoides borealis from the project site to

the Fort Polk military installation, and

conducting habitat enhancement

procedures on Kisatchie National Forest

lands.

The EA considers the environmental

consequences of three alternatives,

including the no action, sale of existing

timber rights and/or the project for other

lawful purposes, and the proposed

action.
