Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Permit
Application, Northern Spotted Owl, Oregon
AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.
ACTION: Receipt of application for enhancement of survival permit;
notice of availability of programmatic safe harbor agreement.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) has applied to the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) for an enhancement of survival
permit (permit) pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended. The permit application includes a proposed programmatic safe
harbor agreement (Agreement) between ODF, the U.S. Department of
Agriculture--Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), and the
Service. The proposed term of the permit and Agreement is 50 years. The
requested permit would authorize ODF to extend incidental take coverage
with assurances through issuance of Certificates of Inclusion to
eligible landowners who are willing to carry out habitat management
measures that would benefit the northern spotted owl (Strix
occidentalis caurina), which is federally listed as threatened. The
covered area or geographic scope of this Agreement includes non-Federal
forest lands within the range of the spotted owl in Oregon. We request
comments from the public on the permit application, proposed Agreement,
and related documents, which are available for review (see ADDRESSES
below).
DATES: Comments must be received from interested parties on or before
August 20, 2009.
ADDRESSES: You may submit your written comments to State Supervisor
(see SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION below). Include your name and address in
your comments and refer to the ``Spotted Owl Programmatic Safe Harbor
Agreement.''
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Richard Szlemp (see SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION below), telephone (503) 231-6179. Persons who use a
