SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 9

of the Act prohibits the ‘‘taking’’ of

endangered species are at 50 CFR 17.22.

Wayne Bell plans to construct a

single-family residence on Lot 22, Blue

Hills Estates, or addressed 6500 Distant

View, Austin, Travis County, Texas.

This action will eliminate less than one

half acre of land and indirectly impact

less than one additional acres of goldencheeked warbler habitat per residence.

The applicant proposes to compensate

for this incidental take of goldencheeked warbler habitat by placing

$1,500 into the City of Austin Balcones

Canyonlands Conservation Fund to

acquire/manage lands for the

conservation of the golden-cheeked

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,
