Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 211 / Wednesday, November 2, 2005 / Notices 66455 

• Assessing intelligence and other 

information in order to identify threats 

to transportation security; and 

• Coordinating countermeasures with 

other Federal agencies to address such 

threats, including the authority to 

receive, assess, and distribute 

intelligence information related to 

transportation security (49 U.S.C. 

114(d), (f)(1)–(5), (h)(1)–(4)). 

To support these requirements, TSA 

assesses the current security practices in 

the surface transportation sector by way 

of site visits and interviews through it’s 

Corporate Security Review (CSR) 

program, one piece of a much larger 

domain awareness, prevention, and 

protection program in support of TSA’s 

and Department of Homeland Security’s 

missions. TSA is seeking to renew its 

OMB approval for this information 

collection so that TSA can continue to 

ascertain minimum-security standards 

and identify coverage gaps, activities 

that are critical to its mission of 

ensuring transportation security. 

The CSR is an ‘‘instructive’’ review 

that provides TSA with an 

understanding of each surface 

transportation owner/operator’s ability 

to protect its critical assets. In carrying 

out CSRs, teams of modal experts from 

TSA conduct site visits of critical 

highway, mass transit, pipeline, and rail 

assets throughout the nation. The TSA 

team analyzes the owner’s/operator’s 

security plan and determines if the 

mitigation measures included in the 

plan are being implemented. In addition 

to reviewing the security plan 

document, TSA tours the site and 

interviews the owner’s/operator’s 

security coordinator, employees, and 

contractors. TSA collects information on 

eleven topics: threat assessments, 

vulnerability assessments, security 

planning, credentialing, secure areas, 

infrastructure protection, physical 

security countermeasures, cyber 

security, training, communications, and 

exercises. TSA conducts this collection 

through voluntary face-to-face visits, 

which last an average of two days, at the 

company/agency headquarters of 

surface transportation owners/operators. 

Typically, TSA sends three employees 

to conduct a two-day discussion/ 

interview with representatives from the 

company/agency owner/operator. At the 

conclusion of these site visits, TSA 

completes the Corporate Security 

Review form, which asks questions 

concerning the above mentioned topics. 

TSA does not plan to collect 

information from small businesses or 

other small entities at this time. 

The annual hour burden for this 

information collection is estimated to be 

1,200 hours. While TSA estimates a 

total of 500 potential respondents, this 

estimate is based on TSA conducting 75 

visits per year, each visit lasting 2 days 

(2 8-hour work days). The total annual 

cost burden to respondents is $0.00. 

Number of Respondents: 500. 

Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An 

estimated 1,200 hours annually. 

Issued in Arlington, Virginia, on October 

25, 2005.

conduct or sponsor and a person is not 

required to respond to a collection of 

information unless it displays a 

currently valid OMB control number. 

On August 3, 2005, we published in 

the Federal Register (70 FR 44678) a 60- 

day notice of our intent to request 

renewal of this information collection 

authority from OMB. In that notice, we 

solicited public comments for 60 days

1531 et seq.), the Clean Vessel Act (16 

U.S.C. 777c), the Sportfishing and 

Boating Safety Act (16 U.S.C. 777g–1), 

and the Coastal Wetlands Planning, 

Protection, and Restoration Act (16 

U.S.C. 3951–3956). The Federal 

Assistance Grant Application Booklet

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Fish and Wildlife Service 

Receipt of an Application for an 

Incidental Take Permit for the Florida 

Scrub-Jay Resulting from the 

Proposed Construction of a 

Combination of Office Space and 

Three-Story Townhomes in the Village 

of Tequesta, Palm Beach County, FL 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Sundown Development and 

Realty (Applicant) is requesting an 

incidental take permit (ITP) for a period 

of five years, pursuant to section 

10(a)(1)(B) of the Endangered Species 

Act of 1973, as amended (Act) (16 

U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). The Applicant 

anticipates take of three federally 

threatened Florida scrub-jays 

(Aphelocoma coerulescens) (scrub-jay) 

incidental to clearing approximately 

0.70 acre of scrub-jay foraging and 

roosting habitat in preparation for 

construction of a combination of office 

space and three-story townhomes on a 

5.25-acre parcel (project). The 

anticipated take would occur in section 

30, Township 40 South, Range 43 East, 

Village of Tequesta, Palm Beach County, 

Florida. The Applicant’s Habitat 

Conservation Plan (HCP) describes the 

mitigation and minimization measures 

proposed to address the effects of the 

project on the scrub-jay. These measures 

are also outlined in the SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION section below. 

The Service announces the 

availability of the Applicant’s ITP 

application, HCP and Environmental 

Assessment (EA). Copies of the 

application, HCP and EA may be 

obtained by making a request to the 

Southeast Regional Office (see 

ADDRESSES). Requests must be in writing 

to be processed. This notice is provided 

pursuant to section 10 of the Act and 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) regulations (40 CFR 1506.6). 

DATES: Written comments on the ITP 

application, EA, and HCP should be 

sent to the Service’s Southeast Regional 

Office (see ADDRESSES) and should be 

received on or before January 3, 2006. 

ADDRESSES: Persons wishing to review 

the application, EA, and HCP, may 

obtain a copy by writing the Service’s 

Southeast Regional Office, at the 

address below. Please reference permit 

application number TE095780–0 in 

such requests. Documents will also be 

available for public inspection by 

appointment during normal business 

hours at either the Southeast Regional

practice is to make comments, including 

names and home addresses of 

respondents, available for public review 

during regular business hours. 

Individual respondents may request that 

we withhold their home addresses from 

the administrative record. We will 

honor such requests to the extent 

allowable by law. There may also be 

other circumstances in which we would 

withhold from the administrative record 

a respondent’s identity, as allowable by 

law. If you wish us to withhold your 

name and address, you must state this 

prominently at the beginning of your 

comments. We will not, however, 

consider anonymous comments. We 

will make all submissions from 

organizations or businesses, and from 

individuals identifying themselves as 

representatives or officials of 

organizations or businesses, available 

for public inspection in their entirety. 

The scrub-jay is geographically 

isolated from other subspecies of scrubjays found in Mexico and the western 

United States. The scrub-jay is found 

exclusively in peninsular Florida and is 

restricted to xeric uplands (well 

drained, sandy soils supporting a 

growth of oak dominated scrub). 

Increasing urban and agricultural 

development has resulted in habitat loss 

and fragmentation, which has adversely 

affected the distribution and numbers of 

scrub-jays. The total estimated 

population is between 7,000 and 11,000 

individuals. 

Although little is known about the 

historic distribution and abundance of 

scrub-jays in southeastern Florida, it can 

be reasonably assumed that this species 

once occupied most of the non-forested 

xeric uplands along the Atlantic Coast
