Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 20 / Monday, February 1, 2016 / Notices 5131 

(APNs 025–391–01, 025–401–01, 025– 

401–02, and 025–491–01) near Soquel, 

Santa Cruz County, California. This 

parcel is located approximately 0.33 

mile north of Soquel Avenue and west 

of Rodeo Gulch Road. The property is 

roughly bounded by the terminus of 

Benson Avenue, Tiffany Court, and 

residential areas to the south; Thurber 

Lane to the west; Winkle Avenue and 

undeveloped lands to the north; and 

Rodeo Gulch Road to the east. An 

incidental take permit was first issued 

for the project on August 6, 2009. No 

project activities occurred during the 

first 6-year term of the incidental take 

permit, and conditions at the site 

remain unchanged from the time of 

original permit issuance. 

Our Preliminary Determination 

The Service has made a preliminary 

determination that renewal of the 

permit is neither a major Federal action 

that will significantly affect the quality 

of the human environment within the 

meaning of section 102(2)(C) of the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA), nor will it individually or 

cumulatively have more than a 

negligible effect on the species covered 

in the HCP. Therefore, the permit 

renewal qualifies for a categorical 

exclusion under NEPA as provided by 

the Department of the Interior Manual 

(516 DM 2, Appendix 1 and 516 DM 

8.5).

applications, plans, and associated 

documents, you may submit comments

Public Availability of Comments 

Before including your address, phone

personal identifying information in your

your entire comment, including your 

personal identifying information, may

While you can ask us in your comment

information from public view, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so. 

Authority 

We provide this notice under section 

10 of the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)
