DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Fish and Wildlife Service

Availability of Final Environmental

Assessment of Take of Nestling

American Peregrine Falcons in the

Contiguous United States and Alaska

for Falconry

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service,

Interior.

24150 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 92 / Friday, May 11, 2001 / Notices

ACTION: Notice of availability.

SUMMARY: This notice is to announce the

availability of a Final Environmental

Assessment and a Finding of No

Significant Impact of take of nestling

American Peregrine Falcons (Falco

peregrinus anatum) for falconry. We

published the Draft Environmental

Assessment in July 2000. We considered

352 comments in revising the

assessment. After completion of the

Final Environmental Assessment, we

also produced a Finding of No

Significant Impact for the action.

ADDRESSES: The documents are

available from the Division of Migratory

Bird Management, U.S. Fish and

Wildlife Service, 4401 North Fairfax

Drive, Room 634, Arlington, Virginia

22203–1610. They also are available on

the Division of Migratory Bird

Management web pages at http://

migratorybirds.fws.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr.

George T. Allen, Division of Migratory

Bird Management, U.S. Fish and

Wildlife Service, at 703/358–1714.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the

draft Environmental Assessment, we

considered six alternatives for take of

nestling American peregrine falcons

(Falco peregrinus anatum) in the

western United States and Alaska. We

received 352 electronic or written

comment letters on the draft

Environmental Assessment. Seventeen

were from State or Federal agencies; 335

were from individuals and

organizations. Fifteen agency responses

favored allowing take of nestlings, and

2 responses were neutral. Of the

individual and organization comments

received, 21 opposed take of nestlings

and 314 supported allowing take. We

modified the Environmental Assessment

to respond to concerns expressed by

agencies, organizations, and

individuals.

Having reviewed the comments on the

draft, our preferred alternative is to

allow take of up to 5% of the American

peregrine falcon nestlings produced in

the States west of 100° longitude, at the

discretion of each State. These States

include Alaska, Arizona, California,

Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New

Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and

Wyoming. We believe that a

conservative level of take is appropriate

for a species recently removed from the

List of Endangered and Threatened

Wildlife and Plants, and will have no

discernible effect on the American

peregrine falcon population in the

western United States.

Dated: May 1, 2001.

Acting Director, Fish and Wildlife Service.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Fish and Wildlife Service

Availability of a Habitat Conservation

Plan and Receipt of an Application for

an Incidental Take Permit for Deer

Canyon Park Preserve in the City of

Anaheim, Orange County, CA

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

SUMMARY: This notice advises the public

that the City of Anaheim (Applicant)

has applied to the Fish and Wildlife

Service (Service) for an incidental take

permit pursuant to section 10 (a) 1 (B)

of the Endangered Species Act of 1973,

as amended. The proposed permit

would authorize the incidental take of

the federally threatened coastal

California gnatcatcher (Polioptila

californica californica) in Deer Canyon

Park Preserve, in the City of Anaheim,

Orange County, California. Take would

occur through the permanent loss of

1.39 acres of coastal sage scrub habitat

during facility development and fuel

management. The Applicant seeks a

permit for a period of 30 years.

We request comments from the public

on the permit application, which is

available for review. The application

also includes a Habitat Conservation

Plan (HCP). The HCP describes the

proposed project and the measures that

the Applicant would undertake to

minimize and mitigate take of coastal

California gnatcatcher. We also request

comments on our preliminary

determination that the HCP qualifies as

a ‘‘low-effect’’ habitat conservation HCP,

eligible for a categorical exclusion under

the National Environmental Policy Act

(NEPA).

DATES: Written comments should be

received on or before June 11, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should

be addressed to the Field Supervisor,

Fish and Wildlife Service, 2730 Loker

Avenue West, Carlsbad, California

92008. Comments may be sent by

facsimile to telephone (760) 431–9624.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Karen Evans, Division Chief, Los

Angeles and Orange Counties, at the

above address or call (760) 431–9440.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Availability of Documents

You may obtain copies of the

documents for review by calling the

Service’s Carlsbad Fish and Wildlife

Office at the above referenced telephone

number. Documents also are available

for public inspection, by appointment,

during normal business hours at the

above address.

Background

Section 9 of the Endangered Species

Act, and its implementing regulations,

prohibit the ‘‘take’’ of fish or wildlife

species listed as endangered or

threatened species. Take means to

harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot,

wound, kill, trap, capture or collect

listed animal species, or attempt to

engage in such conduct (16 U.S.C.

1538). Harm may include significant

habitat modification where it actually

kills or injures wildlife by significantly

impairing essential behavioral patterns,

including breeding, feeding, and

sheltering [50 CFR 17.3(c)]. The Service

may, under certain circumstances, issue

permits to authorize take of endangered

or threatened wildlife species incidental

to, and not the purpose of, otherwise

lawful activities. Regulations governing

permits for endangered or threatened

species are found at 50 CFR 17.22 and

17.32.

Under the proposed action,

improvement of park facilities and fire

management activities would directly

impact the coastal California

gnatcatcher by removing 1.39 acres of

coastal sage scrub vegetation utilized by

coastal California gnatcatchers. The

Deer Canyon Park Preserve totals

approximately 130 acres. The

Applicant’s HCP describes

consideration of alternatives to the

action and provisions for minimization

and mitigation of impacts.

The HCP is further designed to assure

that this action does not reduce the

potential for survival and recovery of

the coastal California gnatcatcher in the

wild, as mandated by requirements of

50 CFR Part 17.22(b)(1)(iii).

The HCP proposes the following

measures to minimize the impacts of the

project on coastal California

gnatcatchers: (1) Fuel modification and

clearing of coastal sage scrub will be

conducted outside the gnatcatcher

breeding season. If it is necessary to

clear coastal sage scrub during the

breeding season, surveys by a qualified

biologist must demonstrate that

gnatcatchers are not nesting or rearing

chicks in the affected area; (2) a project

monitor will be present during all

clearing activities to make sure no birds

or nests are directly harmed or
