SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the Fish and Wildlife Service Service, announce receipt of an application from PMDW Ventures, LLC for an incidental take permit ITP under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended ESA;
16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.. The applicant requests the ITP to take the federally listed sand skink Neoseps reynoldsi incidental to the construction of a commercial development project in Lake County, Florida. We request public comment on the application, which includes the applicants proposed habitat conservation plan HCP, and on the Services preliminary determination that this HCP qualifies as low-effect, categorically excluded, under the National Environmental Policy Act NEPA; 42 U.S.C. 4231 et seq.. To make this determination, we used our environmental action statement and low-effect screening form.

identified by Parcel ID Alternate Key Numbers 1648181 and 1648173. The applicant proposes to mitigate for take of the sand skinks by purchasing 7.58
credits from Backbone Conservation Bank or another Service-approved Conservation Bank. The Service would require the applicant to purchase the credits prior to engaging in activities associated with the project.
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 the applicants project, including land clearing, infrastructure building, landscaping, and the proposed mitigation, would individually and cumulatively have a minor or negligible effect on sand skinks and the environment. Therefore, we have preliminarily concluded that the ITP for this project would qualify for categorical exclusion and that the HCP
is low effect under our NEPA
regulations at 43 CFR 46.205 and 46.210. A low-effect 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 reasonably 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 received to determine whether to issue the requested permit. 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 10a1B of the ESA
have been met. If met, the Service will issue ITP number ESPER0006990 to PMDW Ventures, LLC.
Authority The Service provides this notice under section 10c of the ESA 16
