Proposed Low Effect Habitat 

Conservation Plan for Restoration and 

Management of the Linden H. Chandler 

Preserve, City of Rolling Hills Estates, 

County of Los Angeles, CA 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: The Palos Verdes Peninsula 

Land Conservancy (applicant) has 

applied to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service (Service) for a 25-year incidental 

take permit for one covered species 

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

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended (Act). The application 

addresses the potential for ‘‘take’’ of the 

endangered Palos Verdes blue butterfly 

(Glaucopsyche lygdamus 

palosverdesensis, ‘‘PVB’’) associated 

with restoration and management of the 

Linden H. Chandler Preserve 

(‘‘Preserve’’) in the City of Rolling Hills 

Estates, Los Angeles County, California. 

Following reintroduction of PVB to the 

Preserve, measures to minimize impacts 

to PVB would be implemented as 

described in the proposed Restoration 

and Management of the Linden H. 

Chandler Preserve Low Effect Habitat 

Conservation Plan (proposed HCP), 

which would be implemented by the 

applicant. 

We are requesting comments on the 

permit application and on the 

preliminary determination that the 

proposed HCP qualifies as a ‘‘Loweffect’’ Habitat Conservation Plan, 

eligible for a categorical exclusion under 

the National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) of 1969, as amended. The basis 

for this determination is discussed in 

the Environmental Action Statement 

(EAS) and the associated Low Effect 

Screening Form, which are also 

available for public review. 

DATES: Written comments should be 

received on or before September 12, 

2008. 

ADDRESSES: Comments should be 

addressed to the Field Supervisor, Fish 

and Wildlife Service, Carlsbad Fish and 

Wildlife Office, 6010 Hidden Valley 

Road, Carlsbad, California 92011. 

Written comments may be sent by 

facsimile to (760) 918–0638. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Karen Goebel, Assistant Field 

Supervisor, Carlsbad Fish and Wildlife 

Office (see ADDRESSES); telephone: (760) 

431–9440. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Availability of Documents 

Individuals wishing copies of the 

application, proposed HCP, and EAS 

should immediately contact the Service 

by telephone at (760) 431–9440 or by 

letter to the Carlsbad Fish and Wildlife 

Office. Copies of the proposed HCP and 

EAS also are available for public 

inspection during regular business 

hours at the Carlsbad Fish and Wildlife 

Office [see ADDRESSES]. 

Background 

Section 9 of the Act and its 

implementing Federal regulations 

prohibit the take of animal species listed 

as endangered or threatened. Take is 

defined under the Act as to harass, 

harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, 

trap, capture or collect listed animal 

species, or attempt to engage in such 

conduct (16 U.S.C. 1538). However, 

under section 10(a) of the Act, the 

Service may issue permits to authorize 

incidental take of listed species. 

‘‘Incidental take’’ is defined by the Act 

as take that is incidental to, and not the 

purpose of, carrying out an otherwise 

lawful activity. Regulations governing 

incidental take permits for threatened 

and endangered species, respectively, 

are found in the Code of Federal 

Regulations at 50 CFR 17.22 and 50 CFR 

17.32. 

The applicant is seeking a permit for 

take of the Palos Verdes blue butterfly 

during the life of the permit. This 

species is referred to as the ‘‘PVB’’ in 

the proposed HCP. The PVB is restricted 

to the Palos Verdes Peninsula in Los 

Angeles County, California.
