6304 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 24 / Friday, February 6, 2009 / Notices 

Famulari (Applicant). The Applicant 

has requested an amendment to the 

permits that will change the mitigation 

option from payment to the Florida 

Scrub-jay Conservation Fund 

administered by The Nature 

Conservancy to providing the Charlotte 

County conservation lands program an 

option to purchase land that will result 

in acquisition of 79 acres of suitable 

scrub-jay habitat. The Applicant has 

agreed to follow all other existing 

habitat conservation plan (HCP) 

conditions. If amended, no additional 

take will be authorized. 

DATES: We must receive your written 

comments on the permit amendments 

on or before March 9, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: See the SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION section below for 

information on how to submit your 

comments on the permit amendments. 

You may obtain a copy of the permit 

amendment applications and the HCP 

by writing to the South Florida 

Ecological Services Office, Attn: Permit 

number TE136149–1/TE136153–1, U.S. 

Fish and Wildlife Service, 1339 20th 

Street, Vero Beach, FL 32960–3559. In 

addition, we will make the permit 

amendment applications and HCP

Trish Adams, Fish and Wildlife 

Biologist, South Florida Ecological 

Services Office (see ADDRESSES); 

telephone: (772) 562–3909, ext. 232. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: If you 

wish to comment on the permit 

amendments, you may submit 

comments by any one of the following 

methods. Please reference permit 

number TE136149–1/TE136153–1 in 

such comments. 

1. Mail or hand-deliver comments to 

our South Florida Ecological Services 

Office address (see ADDRESSES). 

2. E-mail comments to 

trish_adams@fws.gov. If you do not 

receive a confirmation that we have 

received your e-mail message, contact 

us directly at the telephone number 

listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT. 

Before including your address, phone 

number, e-mail address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comments, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you can ask us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so. 

Residential construction will take 

place on six parcels in the vicinity of 

latitude 27.013 and longitude ¥82.015 

in Punta Gorda Isles, Punta Gorda, 

Charlotte County, Florida. These parcels 

are within scrub-jay occupied habitat. 

The parcels encompass about 3.2 acres, 

and the footprint of the structure, 

infrastructure, and landscaping 

precludes retention of scrub-jay habitat 

on these parcels. More details on the 

specific parcel locations are available in 

the HCP (see ADDRESSES). The original 

permits became effective on February 

28, 2007. Opportunity for public review 

of the original applications was 

provided in 71 FR 65125 (November 7, 

2006). 

The Service has made preliminary 

determinations that amendment of the 

permits is neither a major Federal action 

that will significantly affect the quality 

of the human environment within the 

meaning of section 102(2)(C) of the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA), nor will they individually or 

cumulatively have more than a 

negligible effect on the species covered 

in the HCP. Therefore, the permit 

amendment qualifies as a categorical 

exclusion under NEPA as provided by 

the Department of Interior Manual (516 

DM 2, Appendix 1 and 516 DM 8.5). 

Authority: We provide this notice pursuant 

to Section 10 of the Endangered Species Act 

(16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and NEPA 

regulations (40 CFR 1506.6).

Services Field Office.
