National Environmental Policy Act 

Compliance 

The proposed issuance of a permit 

amendment triggers the need for 

compliance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as 

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

seq.). The draft EA was prepared to 

analyze the impacts of issuing an 

amended ITP based on the draft 

amended HCP; to inform the public of 

the proposed action, any alternatives, 

and associated impacts; and to disclose 

any irreversible commitments of 

resources. The draft EA tiers from the 

analysis within the final environmental 

impact statement issued by the Service 

and noticed to the public on December 

8, 2014 (79 FR 72696). 

Proposed Action 

The proposed action includes 

amendments to the existing permit and 

HCP to include: 

1. The addition of Kern mallow to the 

five species that are covered by the HCP 

and permit, and inclusion of additional 

species-specific minimization measures. 

2. An extension of the permit term 

from 35 years to 50 years. 

3. The removal of 489.9 ac of potential 

solar site development area that would 

reduce the permit area to 5,318.4 ac. 

4. The inclusion of the installation 

and operation of battery energy storage 

systems as part of the project. 

Public Comments 

We request data, comments, new 

information, or suggestions from the 

public, other concerned governmental 

agencies, the scientific community, 

Tribes, industry, or any other interested 

party on this notice, the draft EA, and 

the draft amended HCP. We particularly 

seek comments on the following: 

1. Biological information concerning 

the species; 

2. Relevant data concerning the 

species; 

3. Additional information concerning 

the range, distribution, population size, 

and population trends of the species; 

4. Current or planned activities in the 

area and their possible impacts on the 

species; 

5. The presence of archeological sites, 

buildings and structures, historic 

events, sacred and traditional areas, and 

other historic preservation concerns, 

which are required to be considered in 

project planning by the National 

Historic Preservation Act; and 

6. Any other environmental issues 

that should be considered with regard to 

the proposed development and permit 

action.

I. Abstract 

The gathering of this information is in 

keeping with the purposes of the Indian 

Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988 (IGRA or 

the Act), Public Law 100–497, 25 U.S.C.

beneficiary of the gaming operation; and 

declaring that the establishment of 

independent federal regulatory 

authority for gaming on Indian lands, 

the establishment of federal standards 

for gaming on Indian lands, and the 

establishment of the Commission are 

necessary to meet congressional 

concerns regarding gaming and to 

protect such gaming as a means of 

generating tribal revenue. 25 U.S.C.

Brief Description of Collection: The 

Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA or 

the Act), Public Law 100–497, 25 U.S.C. 

2701, et seq., established the National 

Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC or 

Commission) and laid out a 

comprehensive framework for the 

regulation of gaming on Indian lands. 

Amongst other actions necessary to 

carry out the Commission’s statutory 

duties, the Act requires the NIGC 

Chairman to review and approve all 

management contracts for the operation 

and management of class II and/or class 

III gaming activities, and to conduct 

background investigations of persons 

with direct or indirect financial interests 

in, and management responsibility for, 

management contracts. 25 U.S.C. 2710, 

2711. The Commission is authorized to 

‘‘promulgate such regulations and 

guidelines as it deems appropriate to 

implement’’ IGRA. 25 U.S.C. 

2706(b)(10). The Commission has 

promulgated parts 533, 535, and 537 of 

title 25, Code of Federal Regulations, to 

implement these statutory requirements. 

Section 533.2 requires a tribe or

or a management contractor, upon 

execution, to submit the assignment by 

a management contractor of its rights 

under a previously approved 

management contract. Section 537.1 

requires a management contractor to 

submit all of the items specified in 

§ 537.1(b),(c) in order for the
