collide with tall buildings, towers, 

power lines, and other structures while 

flying at night between their nesting 

colonies and at-sea foraging areas. These 

birds, and particularly fledglings, are 

also attracted to bright lights. 

Disoriented birds are commonly 

observed circling repeatedly around 

exterior light sources until they fall to 

the ground or collide with structures. 

In an effort to address some of the 

immediate impacts to the Covered 

Species by KIUC’s existing facilities, the 

Service and KIUC entered into a 

Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) in 

November 2002, and again in January 

2005. Under the MOAs, KIUC agreed to 

implement interim conservation 

measures (ICMs) to reduce the impacts 

of its facilities on the Covered Species 

while long-term conservation actions 

are being developed in a HCP. The ICMs 

include shielding streetlights on KIUC 

power poles to minimize disorientation 

of seabirds caused by lights and funding 

the State’s ‘‘Save Our Shearwaters’’ 

(SOS) program to rescue downed 

fledglings. The 2005 MOU expired in 

June 2006. 

Proposed Plan 

The draft HCP covers KIUC activities 

within all areas on Kaua‘i where its 

facilities (e.g., generating stations, 

power lines, utility poles, lights) are 

located. These activities include the 

continuing operation, maintenance, and 

repair of all existing facilities, and the 

construction, operation, maintenance, 

and repair of certain new facilities, 

during the term of the incidental take 

permit. The draft HCP describes the 

impacts of take incidental to those 

activities on the Covered Species, and 

proposes certain measures to minimize 

and mitigate the impacts of such take on 

each of the Covered Species. The 

Applicant has also applied for a State of 

Hawaii incidental take license under 

Hawaii state law. 

KIUC is proposing mitigation 

measures that include: (1) Fully funding 

implementation of the SOS Program; (2) 

funding Covered Species colony 

management and predator control in the 

Limahuli Valley; (3) funding Covered 

Species colony management and 

predator control in the Hono o Na Pali 

Natural Area Reserve; (4) updating 

estimates of at-sea Covered Species 

populations; (5) funding a 2-year 

auditory survey to locate additional 

Covered Species breeding colonies; (6) 

funding development and 

implementation of an under-line 

monitoring program aimed at better 

understanding the amount of take of 

Covered Species caused by overhead 

utility structures; and (7) funding 

Covered Species colony management 

and predator control in the Wainiha 

Valley or other suitable location during 

the fourth and fifth year of the permit. 

The work that KIUC proposes to carry 

out is intended to enhance our 

knowledge of the Covered Species’ 

biology and distribution and improve 

these species’ chances of reproductive 

success to offset the impacts of take 

caused by KIUC activities. The HCP also 

includes adaptive management 

provisions to allow for modifications to 

the mitigation and monitoring measures 

as knowledge is gained during their 

implementation. 

We invite comments and suggestions 

from all interested parties and request 

that comments be as specific as 

possible. In particular, we request 

information and comments regarding 

the following issues: 

(1) The direct, indirect, and 

cumulative effects that implementation 

of any reasonable alternatives could 

have on endangered and threatened 

species; 

(2) Other reasonable alternatives 

consistent with the purpose of the 

proposed HCP as described above, and 

their associated effects; 

(3) Measures that would minimize 

and mitigate potentially adverse effects 

of the proposed action; 

(4) Adaptive management or 

monitoring provisions that may be 

incorporated into the alternatives, and 

their benefits to listed species; 

(5) Other plans or projects that might 

be relevant to this action; 

(6) The proposed term of the 

Incidental Take Permit and whether the 

proposed conservation program would 

sufficiently minimize and mitigate the 

incidental take that would be expected 

to occur over 5 years; and 

(7) Any other information pertinent to 

evaluating the effects of the proposed 

action on the human environment. 

The draft EA considers the direct, 

indirect, and cumulative effects of the 

proposed action of permit issuance, 

including the measures that will be 

implemented to minimize and mitigate 

such impacts. The EA contains an 

analysis of three alternatives: (1) No 

Action (no permit issuance and the 

status quo in terms of KIUC’s actions 

with respect to incidental take of 

Covered Species); (2) issuance of an 

incidental take permit to KIUC on the 

basis of its proposed HCP; and (3) 

issuance of a 3-year permit based on 

implementation of the proposed HCP. 

This notice is provided pursuant to 

section 10(c) of the ESA and NEPA 

regulations (40 CFR 1506.6). The public 

process for the proposed Federal action 

will be completed after the public 

comment period, at which time we will 

evaluate the permit application, the 

HCP and associated documents 

(including the EA), and comments 

submitted thereon to determine whether 

or not the proposed action meets the 

requirements of section 10(a) of the ESA 

and has been adequately evaluated 

under NEPA.

Area (CDCA) Plan for the Chevron 

Energy Solutions (CES) Lucerne Valley 

Solar Project located in San Bernardino 

County, California. The Secretary of the 

Interior approved the ROD on October 5, 

2010 which constitutes the final 

decision of the Department. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of the ROD/

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Lucerne Valley Solar Project was 

proposed by CES. The Lucerne Valley 

Solar Project involves a 422-acre rightof-way (ROW) authorization to construct 

and operate a 45-megawatt (MW) solar 

photovoltaic project which would 

connect to an existing Southern 

California Edison 33 kilovolt 

distribution system. The approved 

project will include the power 

generation facility, a new switchyard, 

control/maintenance building, parking 

area, and set-back area. A portion of 

Zircon Road will also be relocated. 

Pursuant to BLM’s CDCA Plan (1980, 

as amended), sites associated with 

power generation or transmission not 

identified in the CDCA Plan will be 

considered through the plan 

amendment process. As a result, prior to 

approval of a ROW grant for the Lucerne 

Valley Solar Project, the BLM must 

amend the CDCA Plan to allow a solar
