SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Under safe harbor agreements (SHAs), 

participating landowners voluntarily 

undertake management activities on 

their properties to enhance, restore, or 

maintain habitat benefiting species 

listed under the Endangered Species Act 

of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 

1531 et seq.). SHAs, and the subsequent 

enhancement of survival (EOS) permits 

that are issued pursuant to section 

10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA, encourage 

private and other non-Federal property 

owners to implement conservation 

efforts for listed species, by assuring 

property owners that they will not be 

subject to increased land use restriction 

as a result of efforts to attract or increase 

the numbers or distribution of a listed 

species on their property. Application 

requirements and issuance criteria for 

EOS permits through SHAs are found in 

50 CFR 17.22(c) and 17.32(c). 

This SHA is expected to promote the 

recovery of the covered species on nonFederal properties within Mendocino 

County. The proposed duration of the 

SHA and the associated enhancement of 

survival permit is 40 years. The 

proposed EOS permit would authorize 

the incidental taking of the covered 

species associated with the restoration, 

enhancement, and maintenance of 

suitable habitat for the covered species 

during routine and ongoing silvicultural 

activities and the potential future return 

of any property included in the SHA to 

baseline conditions. Under this SHA, 

individual landowners (cooperators) 

may include their properties by entering 

into a cooperative agreement with the 

applicants. Each cooperative agreement 

will specify the restoration and/or 

enhancement and management 

activities to be carried out on that 

specific property, and a timetable for 

implementing those activities. The 

Service will review all cooperative 

agreements to determine whether the 

proposed activities would result in a net 

conservation benefit for the covered 

species and meet all required standards 

of the Service’s Safe Harbor Policy (June 

17, 1999, 64 FR 32717). Upon Service 

approval, the Blencowes (applicants) 

will issue a certificate of inclusion to 

each of the cooperators. Each certificate 

of inclusion will extend the incidental 

take coverage conferred by the EOS 

permit to the cooperator. 

Baseline levels for the covered species 

will be determined by the cooperator, in 

coordination with the Service, and then 

the Service will review each baseline 

determination prior to the Blencowes’ 

issuance of a certificate of inclusion to 

the cooperator. The SHA also contains 

a monitoring component that requires 

the applicant to ensure that the 

cooperators are in compliance with the 

terms and conditions of the SHA. 

Results of these monitoring efforts will 

be provided to the Service by the 

applicant in an annual report. 

Upon approval of this SHA, and 

consistent with the Service’s Safe 

Harbor Policy, the Service would issue 

an EOS permit to the Blencowes. This 

permit would authorize cooperators 

who are issued a certificate of inclusion 

to take the covered species incidental to 

the implementation of the management 

activities specified in the SHA, 

incidental to other lawful uses of the 

property, including routine land 

management activities, and to return to 

baseline conditions if desired. An 

applicant would receive assurances 

under our ‘‘No Surprises’’ regulations 

(50 CFR 17.22(c)(5) and 17.32(c)(5)) for 

the covered species in the EOS permit. 

In addition to meeting other criteria, 

actions to be performed under an EOS 

permit must not jeopardize the 

existence of Federally listed fish, 

wildlife, or plants, and the Service is 

conducting a section 7 consultation. 

Application 

The Service has worked with 

registered professional foresters Craig 

Blencowe and Christopher Blencowe to 

develop a programmatic SHA for the 

creation and enhancement of habitat for 

the northern spotted owl on three 

Mendocino County properties that the 

Blencowes manage for timber harvest 

using uneven-aged silviculture 

techniques. At the start of the permit 

term for the SHA, the Blencowes 

propose to include the following three 

properties under the SHA: Bradford 

Ranch, Miller Tree Farm, and Weger 

Ranch. The landowners associated with 

each property would sign a cooperative 

agreement with the Blencowes, and the 

Blencowes would sign a certificate of 

inclusion for each property, verifying 

that the landowners agree to implement 

the timber management activities 

described in the SHA and cooperative 

agreements. The term of the proposed 

SHA and associated EOS permit is 40 

years. Any associated certificate of 

inclusion would be tied to permit term 

and not longer, unless the SHA is 

extended by agreement. Currently, the 

properties support approximately 6,606 

acres of northern spotted owl nesting/ 

roosting habitat and 3 northern spotted 

owl territories (i.e., an activity center on 

property), as follows: Bradford Ranch 

(2,363 acres and 1 territory), Miller Tree 

Farm (1,849 acres and 2 territories), and 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 112 / Friday, June 10, 2022 / Notices 35567 

Weger Ranch (2,394 acres and 0 

territories). We anticipate that under the 

timber management prescriptions 

proposed in the programmatic SHA, at 

least 6,606 acres of nesting/roosting 

habitat will be enhanced on Blencowemanaged properties, and potentially up 

to 2 additional northern spotted owl 

territories could exist on each of the 

three properties at the end of the 40-year 

SHA term. 

For properties managed under the 

SHA, if any additional northern spotted 

owl territory becomes established on the 

property, take of northern spotted owls 

associated with the effects of timber 

harvest on such additional northern 

spotted owl territories would be 

authorized under the incidental take 

permit during the 40-year permit term. 

The Service anticipates that incidental 

take of a northern spotted owl would 

occur only if: (a) additional northern 

spotted owl territories were established 

on any of the enrolled properties; and 

(b) any of the enrolled properties were 

returned to baseline conditions after the 

term of the 40-year SHA has expired. 

The Service anticipates that no more 

than two additional northern spotted 

owl territories would be established on 

each property during the 40-year permit 

term. In other words, during the 40-year 

permit term, the Service anticipates that 

no more than 12 northern spotted owls 

(2 adult owls per territory and as many 

as 6 new territories) would be subject to 

take if habitat conditions were returned 

to baseline conditions. The 

development and maintenance of highquality functional habitat employing 

uneven-aged timber management 

practices in a matrix of private 

timberland subject to even-aged 

management regimes will provide a 

relatively stable habitat condition that 

we believe will provide high 

productivity for multiple generations of 

northern spotted owls. Therefore, the 

cumulative impact of the SHA and the 

activities it covers, which are facilitated 

by the allowable incidental take, are 

expected to provide a net conservation 

benefit to the northern spotted owl.
