DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR


Finding of No Significant Impact for an Incidental Take Permit 
for the Construction of a Single Family Residence at Lot 37, Section 4, 
Block D, Jester Point 2 Subdivision, Travis County, Texas

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 plans to construct a single-family residence at Lot 
37, Section 4, Block D, Jester Point 2 Subdivision. The proposed 
development 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 Lot 37, Section 4, Block D, Jester Point 2 Subdivision, Travis 
County, Texas, Environmental Assessment/Habitat Conservation Plan. 
Guarantees for implementation are provided in the Agreement. These 
conservation plan actions ensure that the criteria established for 
issuance of an incidental take permit will be fully satisfied.

Alternatives Considered

1. No action,
2. Proposed action,
3. Sale of this property and the purchase of another parcel to develop,
4. Alternative site design,
5. Wait for issuance of a regional Section 10(a)(1)(B) permit.

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 within 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 Lot 37, 
Section 4, Block D, Jester Point 2 Subdivision, Travis County, Texas.

Lynn B. Starnes,

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