ITP to take federally listed sand skinks
(Neoseps (=Plestiodon) reynoldsi) and
blue-tailed mole skinks (Eumeces
egregius lividus) (skinks) incidental to
the construction and operation of a
single-family residential development in
Polk County, Florida. We request public
comment on the application, which
includes the applicant’s HCP, and on
the Service’s preliminary determination
that this proposed ITP may qualify for
a categorical exclusion pursuant to
NEPA (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), the DOI’s
NEPA regulations (43 CFR part 46), and
the DOI’s DM (516 DM 8.5(C)(2)). To
make this preliminary determination,
we prepared a draft screening form and
NEPA statement for HCPs, both of
which are available for public review.

Proposed Project
The applicant requests a 15-year ITP
to take skinks via the conversion of
approximately 21.75 acres (ac) of
occupied nesting, foraging, and
sheltering skink habitat incidental to the
construction and operation of a singlefamily residential development on
160.00 ac, Parcel #s 28–27–34–000000–
044010, 28–27–34–000000–032010, and
28–27–34–000000–041010 in Section
34, Township 27 South, Range 28 East,
Polk County, Florida. The applicant
proposes to mitigate for take of the
skinks by purchasing credits equivalent
to 43.50 ac of skink-occupied habitat
within a Service-approved conservation
bank. The Service would require the
applicant to purchase the credits prior
to engaging in any phase of the project.
Our Preliminary Determination
The Service has made a preliminary
determination that reasonably
foreseeable effects of the applicant’s
proposed project, including the
construction of the buildings and
associated infrastructure (i.e., electric,
water, and sewer lines), would have a
minor effect on skinks and the human
environment, and no extraordinary
circumstances in 43 CFR 46.215 apply.
Reasonably foreseeable effects
encompass effects of implementation of
the action including effects of the action
in addition to other past, present, and
reasonably foreseeable future effects.
Therefore, we have preliminarily
determined that the proposed ESA
section 10(a)(1)(B) permit would be a
low-effect ITP that may qualify for
application of a categorical exclusion
(516 DM 5.8 (C)(2)), pursuant to NEPA,
the DOI’s NEPA regulations, and the
DOI DM. A low-effect ITP is one that
would result in (1) negligible or minor
individual or cumulative effects on
species covered in the HCP; (2) no
significant effect on the human

Jkt 265001

environment; and (3) reasonably
foreseeable effects that would not result
in significant effects to the human
environment.
Next Steps
The Service will evaluate the
application and public comments
received to determine whether to issue
the requested ITP. 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 preceding and other
matters, 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 issue ITP number
PER16719167 to Prince Poinciana, LLC.
