Abstract
We, the Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce receipt of three separate incidental take permit (ITP) applications under the Endangered Species Act (ESA): New Era Development, LLC; Daniel Kruse; and Tamyara Gryner (applicant/applicants), under the approved general conservation plan (GCP) and final environmental impact statement (FEIS) for the Alabama beach mouse (ABM; Peromyscus polionotus ammobates). A GCP is a mechanism that meets the definition of a conservation plan in section 10(a)(1)(B) of the ESA and enables the programmatic permitting and conservation process to address a defined suite of proposed activities over a defined planning area. Each of the applicants request an ITP to take the federally listed ABM incidental to construction in Baldwin County, Alabama. We request public comment on these applications, which include the applicants' proposed habitat conservation plan (HCP) and on the Service's preliminary determination that each of the proposed permitting actions qualifies under the terms of the ABM GCP. We certify that the applications received are statutorily complete and include the necessary information to enroll in the GCP.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the Fish and Wildlife Service, announce
receipt of an application, under the approved GCP for the Alabama beach
mouse from New Era Development, LLC.; Daniel Kruze; and Tamyara Gryner
for three separate ITPs under the
[[Page 47326]]
Endangered Species Act, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). Each
applicant requests an ITP to take the federally listed AMB. One
applicant seeks to take the ABM incidental to the construction,
maintenance, and operation of a single-family home with pool, deck, and
driveway while the other two applicants would take ABM incidental to
the construction of deck additions and maintenance in Baldwin County,
Alabama. We request public comment on the applications, the applicants'
HCPs, and on the Service's preliminary determination that these
proposed ITPs may qualify for a categorical exclusion under the GCP and
FEIS for the AMB published on March 28, 2012 (FWS-R4-ES-2012-N063).
Proposed Projects
Permit Number: PER19850861
New Era Development, LLC requests a 50-year ITP to take ABM via the
conversion of 0.099 acres (ac) of occupied nesting, foraging, and
sheltering ABM habitat incidental to the construction of a single-
family home with a pool on a 0.494 ac parcel located off Ponce de Leon
Court in Gulf Shores, Alabama. The applicant proposes to mitigate for
the take of ABM through an in-lieu fee of $9,890.00 to the Alabama
Coastal Heritage Trust's ABM conservation fund.
Permit Number: PER19846026
Daniel Kruse requests a 50-year ITP to take ABM via the conversion
of approximately 0.017 ac of occupied nesting, foraging, and sheltering
ABM habitat via the addition of two decks to an existing home on a
0.459 ac lot. The parcel is located at 3495 Ponce de Leon Court in Gulf
Shores, Alabama. The applicant proposes to mitigate for the take of ABM
through an in-lieu fee of $1,738.30 to the Alabama Coastal Heritage
Trust's ABM conservation fund.
Permit Number: PER20137093
Tamyara Gryner requests a 50-year ITP to take ABM via the
conversion of approximately 0.007 ac of occupied nesting, foraging, and
sheltering ABM habitat via the addition of a deck to an existing home
on a 0.453 ac lot. The parcel is located at 2476 Ponce de Leon Court in
Gulf Shores, Alabama. The applicant proposes to mitigate for the take
of ABM through an in-lieu fee of $690.00 to the Alabama Coastal
Heritage Trust's ABM conservation fund.
Our Preliminary Determination
The Service has made preliminary determinations that reasonably
foreseeable effects of the applicants' proposed projects would have a
minor effect on ABM and the human environment. Therefore, we have made
a preliminary determination that each of the proposed ESA section
10(a)(1)(B) permits would meet the requirements of the GCP and FEIS.
Next Steps
The Service will evaluate each application and the comments to
determine whether to issue the requested ITPs. We will also conduct an
intra-Service consultation on each application 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 PER19850861 to New Era
Development, LLC., PER19846026 to Daniel Kruse and PER20137093 to
Tamyara Gryner.
