Finding of No Significant Impact for Incidental Take Permit for 
the Construction of a Single Family Residence Travis County, TX

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has prepared an 
Environmental Assessment for issuance of a Section 10(a)(1)(B) permit 
for the incidental take of the Federally endangered golden-cheeked 
warbler (Dendroica chrysoparia) during the construction and operation 
of a single-family residence in Travis County, Texas.

Proposed Action

    The proposed action is the issuance of a permit under Section 
10(a)(1)(B) of the Endangered Species Act to authorize the incidental 
take of the golden-cheeked warbler.
    The Applicant (Richard S. Baggett) plans to construct a single-
family residence at the specific site indicated as Lot 2, Block L, Long 
Canyon, Phase IIB, aka 9611 Bell Mountain Drive, Austin, Travis County, 
Texas, (PRT-800131).
    The proposed construction and operation of the single-family 
residence will comply with all local, State, and Federal environmental 
regulations addressing environmental impacts associated with this type 
of development. Details of the mitigation are provided in the 
Environmental Assessment/Habitat Conservation Plan. The conservation 
plan actions ensure that the criteria established for issuance of an 
incidental take permit will be fully satisfied.

Alternatives Considered

1. Proposed action,
2. Alternate site locations,
3. Alternative site designs,
4. Wait for issuance of a regional Section 10(a)(1)(B) permit,
5. No action.

Determination

    Based upon information contained in the Environmental Assessment/
Habitat Conservation Plan, the Service has determined that this action 
is not a major Federal action which would significantly affect the 
quality of the human environment with the meaning of Section 102(2)(c) 
of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. Accordingly, the 
preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement on the proposed action 
is not warranted.
    It is my decision to issue the Section 10(a)(1)(B) permit for the 
construction and operation of the single-family residence at the site 
specified above in Travis County, Texas.

Acting Regional Director, Region 2, Albuquerque, New Mexico.
