SUMMARY: Howard L. Burris, Jr.

The requested permits, which are for a

occur as a result of the construction of

16 single family residences on Foxtree

Cove, Section 4, Block D, Jester Point 2,

Travis County, Texas

The Service has prepared the final

Environmental Assessment/Habitat

Ecological Service Field Office.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 9

of the Act prohibits the ‘‘taking’’ of

endangered species such as the goldencheeked warbler. However, the Service,

under limited circumstances, may issue

permits to take endangered wildlife

species incidental to, and not the

purpose of, otherwise lawful activities.

Regulations governing permits for

endangered species are at 50 CFR 17.22.

Howard L. Burris, Jr. plans to

construct single family residences on 16

lots on Foxtree Cove, Section 4, Block

D, Jester Point 2 Subdivision, Travis

County, Texas. This action will

eliminate less than one-half acre of and

indirectly impact less than one

additional acre of golden-cheeked

warbler habitat per residence. The

applicant proposes to compensate for

this incidental take of golden-cheeked

warbler habitat by placing $1,500 for
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 34 / Tuesday, February 21, 1995 / Notices 9695

each permit application into the City of

Austin Balcones Canyonlands

Conservation Fund to acquire/manage

lands for the conservation of the goldencheeked warbler.

Alternatives to this action were

rejected because selling or not

developing the subject property with

federally listed species present was not

economically feasible.

Acting Regional Director, Region 2,

Albuquerque, New Mexico.
