Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) by the Riverside County Habitat 
Conservation Agency for a permit to incidentally take, pursuant to 
section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as 
amended (16 U.S.C. 1532 et seq.), the endangered Stephens' kangaroo rat 
(Dipodomys stephensi). This is in conjunction with-otherwise legal 
activities such as private and public development and improvement 
projects in portions of Riverside County, California, pursuant to the 
Implementation Agreement that implements the Long-Term Stephens' 
Kangaroo Rat Habitat Conservation Plan.

provisions of the Act, the Service issued an incidental take permit 
PRT-805414 to the above-named party subject to certain conditions set

it was applied for in good faith, that by granting the permit it will 
not lead to the jeopardy of the endangered species, and that it will be 
consistent with the purposes and policies set forth in the Act.
