(2) Title of the Form/Collection:
Application for Employment
Authorization.
(3) Agency form number, if any, and
the applicable component of the DHS
sponsoring the collection: I–765; I–
765WS; USCIS.
(4) Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: Primary: Individuals or
households. Form I–765 collects
information needed to determine if an
alien is eligible for an initial EAD, a
replacement EAD, or a subsequent EAD
upon the expiration of a previous EAD
under the same eligibility category.
Aliens in many immigration statuses are
required to possess an EAD as evidence
of work authorization. To be authorized
for employment, an alien must be
lawfully admitted for permanent
residence or authorized to be so
employed by the Immigration and
Nationality Act (INA) or under
regulations issued by DHS. Pursuant to
statutory or regulatory authorization,
certain classes of aliens are authorized
to be employed in the United States
without restrictions as to location or
type of employment as a condition of
their admission or subsequent change to
one of the indicated classes. USCIS may
determine the validity period assigned
to any document issued evidencing an
alien’s authorization to work in the
United States. These classes are listed in
8 CFR 274a.12.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: The estimated total number of
respondents for the information
collection I–765 is 2,286,000 and the
estimated hour burden per response is
4.5 hours; the estimated total number of
respondents for the information
collection Biometric Processing is
302,535 and the estimated hour burden
per response is 1.17 hours; the
estimated total number of respondents
for the information collection Form I–
765WS is 302,000 and the estimated
hour burden per response is .50 hours;
the estimated total number of
respondents for the information
collection Passport-Style Photographs is
2,286,000 and the estimated hour
burden per response is .50 hours.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: The total estimated annual
hour burden associated with this
collection is 11,934,966 hours.
(7) An estimate of the total public
burden (in cost) associated with the
collection: The estimated total annual
cost burden associated with this
collection of information is

which includes the applicant’s

(HCP), and the Service’s preliminary
determination that this HCP qualifies as

hand-deliver comments to the above
address during regular business hours.

We, the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
announce receipt of an application from
K. Hovnanian at Mystic Dunes, LLC to
amend an existing 5-year incidental take
permit (ITP) that was issued for take of
the federally listed sand skink (Neoseps
reynoldsi) and blue-tailed mole skink
(Eumeces egregious) (skinks) incidental
to construction of a residential
development (project) in Osceola
County, Florida. The applicant seeks to
amend the ITP (ITP TE69951C–1) to
account for take of 2.09 acres (ac) of
occupied skink habitat rather the 6.7 ac
currently authorized by the permit. We
request public comment on the
application, which includes the
applicant’s proposed habitat
conservation plan (HCP) and the
Service’s preliminary determination that
this HCP qualifies as ‘‘low-effect,’’
categorically excluded under the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA; 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.). To make
this determination, we used our
environmental action statement and
low-effect screening form, both of which
are also available for public review.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Project
The applicant requests to amend its
ITP to account for take of skinks via the
conversion of 2.09 ac of habitat
occupied for foraging and sheltering.
The take would be incidental to the
construction of a residential
development on a 9-ac parcel in Section
15, Township 25 South, and Range 27
East, Osceola County, Florida. The
applicant proposes to mitigate for the
take by purchasing a number of credits
equivalent to 4.18 ac of occupied skink
habitat from a Service-approved
conservation bank in Osceola County.
The applicant would be required to
purchase the credits prior to engaging in
project activities on the parcel.

Public Availability of Comments
Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, be aware that your entire
comment—including your personal
identifying information—may be made
available to the public. While you may
request that we withhold your personal
identifying information, we cannot
guarantee that we will be able to do so.
Our Preliminary Determination
The Service has made a preliminary
determination that modification of the
applicant’s ITP and the project,
including land clearing, construction of
the residential development, and the
proposed mitigation measure, would
individually and cumulatively have a
minor or negligible effect on skinks and
the environment. Therefore, we have
preliminarily concluded that the
amended ITP would qualify for
categorical exclusion and the HCP is
low effect under our NEPA regulations
at 43 CFR 46.205 and 46.210. A loweffect HCP is one that would result in
(1) minor or negligible effects on
federally listed, proposed, and
candidate species and their habitats; (2)
minor or negligible effects on other
environmental values or resources; and
(3) impacts that, when considered
together with the impacts of other past,
present, and reasonable foreseeable
similarly situated projects, would not
over time result in significant
cumulative effects to environmental
values or resources.
Next Steps
The Service will evaluate the
application and the comments to
determine whether to amend the permit.
We will also conduct an intra-Service
consultation pursuant to section 7 of the
ESA to evaluate the effects of the
revised take. After considering the
preceding findings, we will determine
whether the permit issuance criteria of
section 10(a)(1)(B) of the ESA have been
met. If met, the Service will amend the
current permit and issue ITP number
TE69951C–1 to K. Hovnanian at Mystic
Dunes, LLC for incidental take of the
sand skink and blue-tailed skink.
Authority
The Service provides this notice
under section 10(c) (16 U.S.C. 1539(c))
of the ESA and NEPA regulation 40 CFR
1506.6.
