and Plants; Permit Application; Safe 

Harbor Agreement for Northern Idaho 

Ground Squirrel, Adams County, ID 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Receipt of application; notice of 

availability. 

SUMMARY: The Fish and Wildlife Service 

(Service) announces the receipt of an 

application for an enhancement of 

survival permit (Permit) pursuant to 

section 10(a)(1)(A) of the Endangered 

Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). 

The Permit application includes a 

proposed Safe Harbor Agreement (SHA) 

for the threatened northern Idaho 

ground squirrel (Spermophilus 

brunneus brunneus) between Hixon 

Properties Incorporated (applicant) and 

the Service. The term of the proposed 

SHA is 10 years, and the requested term 

of the permit is 15 years. The Service 

has made a preliminary determination 

that the proposed SHA and Permit 

application are eligible for categorical 

exclusion under the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA). The basis for this preliminary 

determination is contained in an 

Environmental Action Statement. The 

Service is accepting comments on the 

Permit application, the proposed SHA, 

and the Environmental Action 

Statement. 

DATES: We will accept comments 

received on or before February 25, 2009.

addressed to Kendra Womack, Snake 

River Fish and Wildlife Office, 1387 S 

Vinnell Way, Room 368, Boise, ID

Document Availability 

Copies of the Permit application, the 

draft SHA, and the Environmental 

Action Statement are available for 

public inspection, by appointment, at 

the Snake River Fish and Wildlife Office 

(see ADDRESSES), or they may be viewed 

on the internet at the following address:

Background 

Under Safe Harbor Agreements, 

participating property owners 

voluntarily undertake management 

activities on their properties to enhance, 

restore, or maintain habitat benefitting 

species listed under the Act (16 U.S.C. 

1531 et seq.). Safe Harbor Agreements 

encourage private and other non-Federal 

property owners to implement 

conservation efforts for listed species by 

assuring property owners they will not 

be subjected to increased property use 

restrictions if their efforts attract listed 

species to their property or increase the 

numbers or distribution of listed species 

already on their property. Application 

requirements and issuance criteria for 

enhancement of survival permits 

through Safe Harbor Agreements can be 

found in 50 CFR 17.22(c). 

The area to be covered under the 

proposed SHA (Covered Area) is 

approximately 7,783 acres (ac) (3,150 

hectares (ha)) and is located just north 

of Bear, Adams County, Idaho. Northern 

Idaho ground squirrels currently occupy 

approximately 714-ac (289-ha) of the 

7,783-ac (3,150-ha) Covered Area. Due 

to normal population fluctuations and 

the difficulty of identifying current
