Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 108 / Wednesday, June 4, 2008 / Notices
defines the term ‘‘take’’ as: to harass,
harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill,
trap, capture, or collect listed species, or
to attempt to engage in such conduct (16
U.S.C. 1532). Harm includes significant
habitat modification or degradation that
actually kills or injures listed wildlife
by significantly impairing essential
behavioral patterns, including breeding,
feeding, and sheltering [50 CFR 17.3(c)].
Pursuant to section 10(a)(1)(B) of the
Act, the Service may issue permits to
authorize ‘‘incidental take’’ of listed
animal species. ‘‘Incidental Take’’ is
defined by the Act as take that is
incidental to, and not the purpose of,
carrying out an otherwise lawful
activity. Regulations governing permits
for threatened species and endangered
species, respectively, are at 50 CFR
17.32 and 50 CFR 17.22. All species
included on an incidental take permit
would receive assurances under the
Service’s ‘‘No Surprises’’ regulation [50
CFR 17.22(b)(5) and 17.32(b)(5)].
Species proposed for coverage in the
HCP are species that are currently listed
as federally threatened or endangered or
have the potential to become listed
during the life of this MSHCP and have
some likelihood to occur within the
project area. Should any of the unlisted
covered wildlife species become listed
under the Act during the term of the
permit, take authorization for those
species would become effective upon
listing. Six plant species and 28 animal
species are known to occur within the
area and are proposed to be covered by
the MSHCP. Species may be added to or
deleted from the list of proposed
covered species during the course of the
development of the MSHCP based on
further analysis, new information,
agency consultation, and public
comment. Currently, the MSHCP would
include the following federally listed
animal species: California condor
(Gymnogyps californianus), least Bell’s
vireo (Vireo bellii pusillus),
southwestern willow flycatcher
(Empidonax traillii extimus), Valley
elderberry longhorn beetle (Democerus
californicus dimorphus), and Western
yellow-billed cuckoo (Coccyzus
americanus occidentalis). The MSHCP
would also include the following State
listed and unlisted species: Tehachapi
slender salamander (Batrachoseps
stebbinsi), bald eagle (Haliaeetus
leucocephalus), American peregrine
falcon (Falco peregrines anatum), little
willow flycatcher (Empidonax traillii
brewsteri), golden eagle (Aquila
chrysaetos), white-tailed kite (Elanus
leucorux), ringtail (Bassariscus astutus),
tricolored blackbird (Agelaius tricolor),
California spotted owl (Strix

occidentalis occidentalis), Tehachapi
pocket mouse (Perognathus alticolus
inexpectatus), burrowing owl (Athene
cunicularia), yellow-blotched
salamander (Ensatina eschscholtzi
croceater), western spadefoot (Spea
hammondii), purple martin (Progne
subis), northern goshawk (Accipiter
gentalis), coast horned lizard (frontale
and blainvilli populations) (Phrynosoma
coronatum), Cooper’s hawk (Accipiter
cooperii), yellow-breasted chat (Icteria
virens), prairie falcon (Falco
mexicanus), northern harrier (Circus
cyaneus), long-eared owl (Asio otus),
two-striped garter snake (Thamnophis
hammondii), round-leaved filaree
(Erodium macrophyllum), Fort Tejon
woolly sunflower (Eriophyllum lanatum
var. hallii), Kusche’s sandwort
(Amenaria macradenia var. kuschei),
Tehachapi buckwheat (Eriogonum
callistum), American badger (Taxidea
taxus), striped adobe lily (Fritillaria
striata), and Tejon poppy (Eschscholzia
lemmonii ssp. Kernensis).
Activities proposed to be covered by
the MSHCP include limited private
development; livestock grazing and
range management; film production;
maintenance and construction of
underground utilities; recreation with
the exception of hunting; existing
commercial and residential
improvements; farming and irrigation
systems; repair, maintenance, and use of
roads; and existing mineral extraction
facilities. The MSHCP would not cover
hunting, nor would it cover the lethal
take of California condors. The MSHCP
will propose a conservation strategy to
minimize and mitigate to the maximum
extent possible any impacts that would
occur to covered species as the result of
the covered activities.
Environmental Impact Statement
The EIS will consider the proposed
action (i.e., the issuance of a section
10(a)1(B) permit under the Act), no
action (no section 10 permit), and a
reasonable range of alternatives. A
detailed description of the proposed
action and alternatives will be included
in the EIS. The EIS will also identify
potentially significant impacts on
biological resources, land use, air
quality, water resources, transportation,
and other environmental resource issues
that could occur directly or indirectly
with implementation of the proposed
action and alternatives. Different
strategies for avoiding, minimizing, and
mitigating the impacts of incidental take
may also be considered.
Environmental review of the EIS will
be conducted in accordance with the
requirements of NEPA (42 U.S.C. 4321
et seq.), its implementing regulations

(40 CFR parts 1500–1508), other
applicable regulations, and Service
procedures for compliance with those
regulations. This notice is being
furnished in accordance with 40 CFR
Section 1501.7 and 1508.22 to obtain
suggestions and information from other
agencies and the public on the scope of
issues and alternatives to be addressed
in the EIS. The primary purpose of the
scoping process is to identify important
issues raised by the public related to the
proposed action. Written comments
from interested parties are invited to
ensure that the full range of issues
related to the permit application is
identified. Comments will only be
accepted in written form. All comments
received, including names and
addresses, will become part of the
official administrative record and may
be made available to the public.
Before including your address, phone
number, e-mail address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you may 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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

On May
22, 2007, in a memorandum for the
heads of Executive Departments and
Agencies entitled ‘‘Safeguarding Against
and Responding to the Breach of
Personally Identifiable Information,’’ the
Office of Management and Budget
directed agencies to develop and
publish a routine use for disclosure of
information in connection with
response and remedial efforts in the
event of a data breach. This routine use
will serve to protect the interests of the
individuals, whose information is at
issue by allowing agencies to take
appropriate steps to facilitate a timely
and effective response to the breach,
thereby improving the agency’s ability
to prevent, minimize, or remedy any
harm resulting from a compromise of
data maintained in its systems of
records. Accordingly, the Fish and
Wildlife Service of the Department of
the Interior is proposing to add a new
routine use to authorize disclosure to
appropriate agencies, entities, and
persons of information maintained in
the following systems in the event of a
data breach. These amendments will be
effective as proposed at the end of the
comment period unless comments are
received that would require a contrary
determination. We will publish a
