upon its submission to OMB. Therefore,
in preparation for OMB review and
approval of the following information
collection, TSA is soliciting comments
to—
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed

Draft Environmental Assessment and
Proposed Habitat Conservation Plan;
Receipt of an Application for an
Incidental Take Permit, Headwaters II
Wind Farm, Randolph County, Indiana
Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of availability; request
for comment and information.
AGENCY:

We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, have received an
application from Headwaters II Wind
Farm LLC (applicant) a subsidiary of
EDP Renewables North America LLC,
for an incidental take permit (ITP) under
the Endangered Species Act, for its
Headwaters II Wind Farm (project). If
approved, the ITP would be for a 30year period and would authorize the
incidental take of an endangered
species, the Indiana bat, and a
threatened species, the northern longeared bat. The applicant has prepared a
habitat conservation plan that describes
the actions and measures that the
applicant would implement to avoid,
minimize, and mitigate incidental take
of the Indiana bat and northern longeared bat. We also announce the
availability of a draft environmental
assessment, which has been prepared in
response to the permit application in
accordance with the requirements of the
National Environmental Policy Act. We
request public comment on the
application and associated documents.
DATES: We will accept comments
received or postmarked on or before
March 11, 2022.
ADDRESSES:
Document availability: Electronic
copies of the documents this notice
announces, along with public comments
received, will be available online in
Docket No. FWS–R3–ES–2021–0160 at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Section 9 of the Endangered Species
Act of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16
U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), and its
implementing regulations prohibit the
‘‘take’’ of animal species listed as
endangered or threatened. ‘‘Take’’ is
defined under the ESA as to ‘‘harass,
harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill,
trap, capture, or collect [listed animal
species], or to attempt to engage in such
conduct’’ (16 U.S.C. 1538). However,
under section 10(a) of the ESA, we may
issue permits to authorize incidental
take of listed species. ‘‘Incidental take’’
is defined by the ESA as take that is
incidental to, and not the purpose of,
carrying out an otherwise lawful
activity. Regulations governing
incidental take permits for endangered
and threatened species, respectively, are
found in the Code of Federal
Regulations at 50 CFR 17.22 and 50 CFR
17.32.
Applicant’s Proposed Project
The applicant requests a 30-year ITP
to take the federally endangered Indiana
bat (Myotis sodalis) and threatened
northern long-eared bat (Myotis
septentrionalis). The applicant
determined that take is reasonably
certain to occur incidental to operation
of 49 wind turbines that have a total
generating capacity of 198 megawatts
and cover approximately 10,435 acres of
private land. The proposed conservation
strategy in the applicant’s proposed
HCP is designed to avoid, minimize,

PO 00000

Frm 00070

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

7491

and mitigate the impacts of the covered
activity on the covered species. The
biological goals and objectives are to
minimize potential take of Indiana bats
and northern long-eared bats through
on-site minimization measures and to
provide habitat conservation measures
for Indiana bats and northern long-eared
bats to offset any impacts from
operations of the project. The HCP
provides on-site avoidance and
minimization measures, which include
turbine operational adjustments. The
authorized level of take from the project
is 359 Indiana bats and 93 northern
long-eared bats over the 30-year project
duration. To offset the impacts of the
taking of Indiana bats and northern
long-eared bats, the applicant proposes
to protect known maternity colony
habitat and staging/swarming habitat.
National Environmental Policy Act
The issuance of an ITP is a Federal
action that triggers the need for
compliance with NEPA. We prepared a
draft EA that analyzes the
environmental impacts on the human
environment resulting from three
alternatives: A no-action alternative, the
proposed action, and a more restrictive
alternative consisting of feathering at a
rate of wind speed that results in less
impacts to bats.
Next Steps
The Service will evaluate the permit
application and the comments received
to determine whether the application
meets the requirements of section 10(a)
of the ESA. We will also conduct an
intra-Service consultation pursuant to
section 7 of the ESA to evaluate the
effects of the proposed take. After
considering the above findings, we will
determine whether the permit issuance
criteria of section 10(a)(l)(B) of the ESA
have been met. If met, the Service will
issue the requested ITP to the applicant.
Request for Public Comments
The Service invites comments and
suggestions from all interested parties
during a 30-day public comment period
(see DATES). In particular, information
and comments regarding the following
topics are requested:
1. The environmental effects that
implementation of any alternative could
have on the human environment;
2. Whether or not the significance of
the impact on various aspects of the
human environment has been
adequately analyzed;
3. Any threats to the Indiana bat and
the northern long-eared bat that may
influence their populations over the life
of the ITP that are not addressed in the
proposed HCP or EA; and
