an incidental take permit (ITP) 

application from the Port Blakely 

Company, including a habitat 

conservation plan (HCP) for the John 

Franklin Eddy Forestlands in Clackamas 

County, Oregon. Port Blakely submitted 

the ITP application and HCP pursuant 

to the Endangered Species Act. The 

National Marine Fisheries Service 

(NMFS) also received an ITP application 

from Port Blakely and, concurrent with 

this notice, has also published a notice 

of availability for comment on the ITP 

application, the applicant’s HCP, and, as 

the lead Federal agency under the 

National Environmental Policy Act, a 

draft environmental assessment (draft 

EA) analyzing the potential effects of 

issuance of the respective ITPs. We 

invite the public and local, State, Tribal, 

and Federal agencies to comment on 

these documents. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

received by no later than 5 p.m. Pacific 

Standard Time on July 14, 2022. Any 

comments received after the closing 

date may not be considered in the final 

decision on these actions. 

ADDRESSES: 

Obtaining documents: The HCP and 

draft EA are available on the internet at 

https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/action/

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the 

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), 

have received an incidental take permit 

(ITP) application from the Port Blakely 

Company, including a habitat 

conservation plan (HCP) for the John 

Franklin Eddy Forestlands in Clackamas 

County, Oregon. Port Blakely submitted 

the ITP application and HCP pursuant 

to section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Endangered 

Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA; 

16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). The permit, if 

issued, would authorize incidental take 

of species under FWS jurisdiction 

resulting from the timber harvest, 

silviculture, road management, and 

conservation activities described in the 

HCP, for a permit term of 50 years. 

The National Marine Fisheries Service 

(NMFS) also received an ITP application 

and, concurrent with this notice, has 

also published a notice of the 

availability for comment on that ITP 

application, the HCP and, as the lead 

Federal agency under the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as 

amended (NEPA; 42 U.S.C. 4321 et 

seq.), a draft environmental assessment 

(draft EA) analyzing the potential effects 

of issuance of the respective ITPs. FWS 

is a cooperating agency under NEPA for 

this proposed action. Both notices are 

soliciting public comments through a 

single process, described below. 

Species Included in the Habitat 

Conservation Plan 

Port Blakely’s habitat conservation 

plan (HCP) includes three ESA-listed 

species that are under the jurisdiction of 

FWS, and three ESA-listed species that 

are under the jurisdiction of NMFS. The 

HCP also includes 14 species not listed 

under the ESA.

• Hoary bat (Lasiurus cinereus) 

• Silver-haired bat (Lasionycteris

Background 

Section 9 of the ESA prohibits the 

taking of a species listed as endangered 

or threatened. The ESA defines ‘‘take’’ 

to mean to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, 

shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or 

collect, or to attempt to engage in any 

such conduct. The FWS may issue 

permits, under limited circumstances, to 

take listed species incidental to 

otherwise lawful activities pursuant to 

section 10(a)(1)(B) of the ESA and 

implementing regulations (50 CFR 

17.22(b) and 17.32(b)). 

On August 16, 2020, NMFS and FWS 

received separate applications from Port 

Blakely for ITPs to authorize take of the 

above species that may occur incidental 

to Port Blakely’s timber harvest, 

silviculture, road management, and 

conservation activities on 

approximately 30,000 acres of its John 

Franklin Eddy Forestlands in the 

Clackamas River and Molalla River 

Basins of Oregon. In association with 

the applications, the applicant 

submitted a HCP, which specifies the 

impacts to the species that will likely 

result from implementing the covered 

activities, steps that Port Blakely will 

take to minimize and mitigate such 

impacts, procedures to account for 

unforeseen or changed circumstances, a 

plan for monitoring and adaptive 

management, and a description of 

funding assurances. Authorization for 

take of the species not currently listed 

under the ESA addressed by the HCP 

would be included in the ITP proposed 

for issuance by FWS; the take 

authorization would be in effect for one 

or more of the species if the FWS lists 

the species during the permit term. 

The proposed issuance of the ITPs is 

considered a Federal action under 

NEPA, and NMFS prepared a draft 

environmental assessment (EA) to 

analyze the potential impacts on the 

human environment in accordance with 

the requirements of NEPA, with input 

from FWS as a cooperating agency. 

Further information regarding the Draft 

EA is described in the NMFS notice of 

availability. 

Next Steps 

After the public comment period ends 

(see DATES), FWS and NMFS will each 

evaluate the permit applications, 

associated documents, and any 

comments received to make their permit 

decisions based on the statutory and 

regulatory criteria of the ESA. Each 

agency will document its determination 

independently, in separate ESA section 

10 findings documents and ESA Section 

7 biological opinions. NMFS will also 

finalize the EA and determine whether 

the proposed action warrants a finding 

of no significant impact, or whether an 

environmental impact statement should 

be prepared pursuant to NEPA. 

Public Availability of Comments
