FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

William Lynn, Project Manager, by 

telephone at 251–441–5868 or via email 

at william_lynn@fws.gov. Individuals in 

the United States who are deaf, 

deafblind, hard of hearing, or have a 

speech disability may dial 711 (TTY, 

TDD, or TeleBraille) to access 

telecommunications relay services. 

Individuals outside the United States 

should use the relay services offered

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the 

Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), 

announce receipt of an application from 

Brett Real Estate Robinson Development 

Company, Inc. (applicant) for an 

incidental take permit (ITP) under the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

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

The applicant requests the ITP to take 

the federally listed Alabama beach 

mouse (Peromyscus polionotus 

ammobates) (ABM) incidental to the 

construction of a single condominium 

tower with amenities (project) in the 

City of Gulf Shores, Baldwin County, 

Alabama. We request public comment 

on the application, which includes the 

applicant’s proposed habitat 

conservation plan (HCP), and the 

Service’s preliminary determination that 

this HCP qualifies as low-effect, 

categorically excluded, under the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA; 42 U.S.C. 4231 et seq.). To make 

this determination, we used our 

environmental action statement and 

low-effect screening form, both of which 

are also available for public review. 

Project 

The applicant requests a 50-year ITP 

to take ABM by converting 

approximately 0.061 acres (ac) of 

occupied ABM foraging and sheltering 

habitat incidental to the construction of 

a single condominium tower, with 110 

beachfront units and amenities, on 0.84 

ac of a 3.18-ac parcel in Baldwin 

County, Alabama. The parcel contains 

0.713 ac of ABM-occupied suitable 

habitat. 

The parcel was previously utilized in 

2004 and 2005 for stockpiling of 

Hurricane(s) Ivan and Katrina debris. 

Most of the larger hurricane debris has 

been removed. However, the northern 

part of the parcel still contains 

considerable concrete and construction 

debris, which precludes the natural 

dune repair process. 

As mitigation for incidental take of 

the ABM, the applicant proposes to 

preserve and enhance the remaining 

0.652 ac of ABM-occupied habitat on 

the parcel. Additionally, the applicant 

will restore a sandy area (0.073 ac) on 

the parcel to vegetated sand dunes. 

Outside the development footprint, the 

applicant will landscape 0.853 ac with 

native vegetation that may support 

ABM. After development is completed, 

the parcel will contain 2.34 ac of native 

habitat (0.853 ac open beach, 0.725 ac 

ABM habitat, and 0.762 ac native 

landscaping), which will be 

permanently managed as coastal dune 

habitat for the ABM. In addition, 

standard mitigation and minimization 

measures will be implemented on the 

parcel, including installing sea turtlefriendly lighting and tinted windows, 

landscaping with native vegetation, 

enhancing the frontal dune area, 

constructing a concrete driveway that 

will not spread widely as a result of 

storm surge, utilizing refuse-control 

measures during construction that also 

would be required of future residents, 

and restoring ABM habitat after tropical 

storms. Free-roaming cats and the use of 

exterior rodenticide will be prohibited 

within the development. There also will 

be monitoring of the on-site ABM 

population via fall, winter, and spring 

trapping surveys conducted quarterly 

for the life of the permit (50 years). 

Condominium unit owners will be 

required to pay a $201-per-unit annual 

fee over the next 50 years into a 

mitigation fund set up by the 

condominium homeowners’ association, 

and the accumulated fees will be used 

for predator control, monitoring, and/or 

improvement of Alabama beach mouse 

habitat on the parcel. The Service would 

require the applicant to ensure that 

funding for the HCP is available prior to 

engaging in any activities associated 

with the project. 

Public Availability of Comments 

Before including your address, phone 

number, email address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment, be aware that your entire 

comment—including your personal 

identifying information—may be made 

available to the public. While you may 

request that we withhold your personal 

identifying information, we cannot 

guarantee that we will be able to do so. 

Our Preliminary Determination 

The Service has made a preliminary 

determination that the applicant’s 

project, including land clearing, 

infrastructure building, construction of 

the condominium tower and amenities, 

landscaping, and the proposed 

mitigation and minimization measures, 

would individually and cumulatively 

have a minor or negligible effect on the 

Alabama beach mouse and the 

environment. Therefore, we have 

preliminarily concluded that the ITP for 

this project would qualify for categorical 

exclusion and that the HCP is low effect 

under our NEPA regulations at 43 CFR 

46.205 and 46.210 A low-effect HCP is 

one that would result in (1) minor or 

negligible effects on federally listed, 

proposed, and candidate species and 

their habitats; (2) minor or negligible 

effects on other environmental values or 

resources; and (3) impacts that, when 

considered together with the impacts of 

other past, present, and reasonably 

foreseeable similarly situated projects, 

would not result in significant 

cumulative effects to environmental 

values or resources over time. 

Next Steps 

The Service will evaluate the 

application and the comments received 

to determine whether to issue the 

requested permit. We will also conduct 

an intra-Service consultation pursuant 

to section 7 of the ESA to evaluate the 

effects of the proposed take on the 

species. We will consider all of the 

preceding in determining whether the 

permit issuance criteria of section 

10(a)(l)(B) of the ESA have been met. If 

met, the Service will issue ITP number 

ESPER0031364–0 to Brett Real Estate 

Robinson Development Company, Inc. 

Authority

U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and its 

implementing regulations (50 CFR 

17.32) and NEPA (42 U.S.C. 4321 et 

seq.) and its implementing regulations
