48244 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 164 / Friday, August 27, 2021 / Notices 

under section 10(a)(2)(B) for an 

incidental take permit requires the 

Service to find that (1) the taking will 

be incidental to otherwise lawful 

activities; (2) an Applicant will, to the 

maximum extent practicable, minimize 

and mitigate the impacts of such taking; 

(3) an Applicant has ensured 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 measures, if any, 

we require as necessary or appropriate 

for the purposes of the plan will be met. 

Regulations governing permits for 

endangered and threatened species are 

at 50 CFR 17.22 and 17.32, respectively. 

Proposed Action 

The proposed action is the issuance of 

a 30-year ITP to authorize incidental 

take of up to 8 Indiana bats and 48 

northern long-eared bats during the ITP 

term, resulting from activities covered 

by the HCP and associated with the 

operation of the existing Wildhorse 

Mountain Wind Project in Pushmataha 

County, Oklahoma. The plan area is 

13,731.6 acres, of which 90 acres are 

protected mitigation lands to offset the 

impacts of the project. 

The proposed HCP, which must meet 

the requirements in section 10(a)(2)(A) 

of the ESA, was developed in 

coordination with the Service and 

would be implemented by the 

Applicant. The proposed action will 

allow for the Applicant to comply with 

the ESA, and their renewable windgenerated energy would be made 

available to public utilities. Covered 

activities in the HCP include the 

operation of 29 wind turbines and the 

conservation and preservation of 90 

acres, called the mitigation area. The 

Applicant proposes to minimize and 

mitigate impacts to the Indiana bat and 

northern long-eared bat through 

conservation measures identified in the 

HCP. 

Alternatives 

We considered one alternative to the 

proposed action as part of the 

environmental assessment process: The 

no-action alternative. The no-action 

alternative represents estimated future 

conditions without the issuance of an 

ITP. The no-action alternative 

represents the status quo. 

Under the no-action alternative, the 

Service would not issue the ITP. The 

no-action alternative would be 

implemented if the Service denies 

issuance of a permit or if the Applicant 

chooses to abandon pursuing an ITP. 

The Applicant would operate the 

project without an ITP and would risk 

not being in compliance with section 9 

of the Endangered Species Act if 

implementation of covered activities 

results in take of the Indiana bat or the 

northern long-eared bat without the use 

of a 4(d) rule. 

Next Steps 

We will evaluate the permit 

application, associated documents, and 

comments we receive to determine 

whether the permit application meets 

the requirements of the ESA, NEPA, and 

implementing regulations. If we 

determine all requirements are met, we 

will approve the HCP and issue the ITP 

under section 10(a)(1)(B) of the ESA to 

the Applicant, Wildhorse Mountain 

Wind Energy, LLC, for take of Indiana 

bat and northern long-eared bat in 

accordance with the terms of the HCP 

and specific terms and conditions of the 

authorizing permit. We will not make 

our final decision until after the end of 

the 30-day public comment period, and 

we will fully consider all comments we 

receive during the public comment 

period.

Abstract: The NPS Social Science 

Program (SSP) is authorized by 54 

U.S.C. 100701 to collect information 

that will improve the ability of the NPS 

to provide state-of the-art management, 

protection, and interpretation of, and 

research on, the resources of the System. 

However, the data currently available 

from survey research is insufficient for 

generalizing findings across all national 

park units in the System with regards to 

visitor experiences, attitudes, and 

spending behaviors. Past and present 

socioeconomic research in NPS units do 

not allow for comparison across units or 

against a regional and nationwide 

benchmark of information. Without this 

data, local, regional, and national-level 

NPS managers lack a comprehensive 

understanding of visitor demographics, 

economic contribution, and visitation 

related experiences in park units needed 

to to monitor how well the System is 

serving the public. 

In 2016, the NPS SSP conducted a 

pilot study in 14 NPS units to identify 

and better understand the need for more 

advanced socioeconomic monitoring. 

The pilot study produced and verified a 

study design that will allow SSP to fully 

implement a Socioeconomic Monitoring 

Study (SEM). Building on the findings 

from the pilot study, the SEM will 

collect information from visitors in up 

to 30 National Park units annually to 

provide generalizable results for NPS 

managers and planners across the 

System to understand and monitor: 

visitor demographics, economic 

contribution, services, facilities and 

infrastructure investments. Individual 

park units will be able to compare their 

unit with regional and national-level 

data to make informed decisions in 

future planning and management 

efforts. 

Title of Collection: Socioeconomic 

Monitoring Study of National Park 

Service Visitors. 

OMB Control Number: 1024–NEW. 

Form Number: None. 

Type of Review: New. 

Respondents/Affected Public: General 

Public; any person visiting a national 

park during a sampling period. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Respondents: 50,320. (37,000 on-site 

surveys and 13,320 mail back surveys). 

Estimated Completion Time per 

Response: On-site Survey: 5 minutes; 

Mail back Survey: 15 minutes. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 6,413. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

Frequency of Collection: Once. 

Total Estimated Annual Nonhour 

Burden Cost: None. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor nor is a person is required to 

respond to a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number. 

The authority for this action is the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
