Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 213 / Monday, November 6, 2017 / Notices 51429 

17.32(b)(5)) regarding conservation 

activities for the California tiger 

salamander. 

Applicant’s Proposed Activities 

The applicant has applied for a permit 

for incidental take of the California tiger 

salamander. The potential take will 

occur in association with activities 

necessary for the reconditioning of 

approximately 2,430 linear feet of the 

existing 300 Line. The site includes 2.9 

acres of suitable upland habitat for the 

California tiger salamander. The HCP 

includes avoidance and minimization 

measures for the covered species and 

mitigation for unavoidable loss of 

occupied upland habitat through the 

purchase of mitigation credits at a 

Service-approved conservation bank. 

Our Preliminary Determination 

The Service has made a preliminary 

determination that issuance of the 

incidental take permit 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 (42 U.S.C. 

4321 et seq.; NEPA), nor will it 

individually or cumulatively have more 

than a negligible effect on the species 

covered in the HCP. Therefore, the 

permit qualifies for a categorical 

exclusion under NEPA. 

Public Comments 

If you wish to comment on the permit 

application, draft HCP, and associated 

documents, you may submit comments 

by one of the methods in ADDRESSES. 

Public Availability of Comments 

Before including your address, phone 

number, email address, or other 

personal identifying information in your

While you can ask us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public view, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so.

We provide this notice under section 

10 of the ESA (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)
