in the segregative effect of the

withdrawal.

Washington County, Utah

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service,

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: Heritage Arts Foundation

(Applicant) has applied to the Fish and

Wildlife Service for an incidental take

permit pursuant to section 10(a)(1)(B) of

the Endangered Species Act (Act) of

1973. The Applicant has been assigned

Permit Number PRT–798634. The

requested permit, which is for a period

not to exceed 2 years, would authorize

the incidental take of the threatened

desert tortoise (Gopherus agassizii). The

proposed take would occur as a result

of further improvement and continued

use of an access road to the Tuacahn

School and Performing Arts Center

(Tuacahn Center) in Ivins, Washington

County, Utah. The road was constructed

by the Applicant but has been deeded

to the city of Ivins. It is anticipated that

the road will be paved and will serve

employees, students, and visitors of the

Tuacahn Center.

The Applicant has prepared a habitat

conservation plan and an environmental

assessment for the incidental take

permit application. This notice is

provided pursuant to section 10(c) of
