Draft Environmental Assessment and Habitat Conservation Plan; 
Davis Ranch, Bexar County, Texas; Correction

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of availability; request for public comments; 
correction.

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

SUMMARY: On March 18, 2019, we, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 
announced via a Federal Register notice the availability of a draft 
environmental assessment (dEA) and habitat conservation plan (HCP) for 
development in Bexar County, Texas. Under the Endangered Species Act, 
the Davis McCrary Property Trust applied for an incidental take permit 
(ITP) that would authorize incidental take of the golden-cheeked 
warbler. Our Federal Register notice inadvertently did not give the 
correct permit number and did not specifically state how the public can 
submit comments. In this notice, we correct those errors.

DATES: To ensure consideration, written comments must be received or 
postmarked on or before May 8, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a March 18, 2019, Federal Register notice 
(84 FR 9806), we, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), made 
available the draft Environmental Assessment (dEA) and the Davis Ranch 
Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) for development of a 724-acre property 
in Bexar County, Texas. The Davis McCrary Property Trust has applied to 
the Service for an incidental take permit (ITP) under section 
10(a)(1)(B) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16 
U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). The requested ITP, which would be in effect for a 
period of 30 years, if granted, would authorize incidental take of the 
federally endangered golden-cheeked warbler (Setophaga (=Dendroica) 
chrysoparia). The proposed incidental take would result from activities 
associated with otherwise lawful activities, including commercial and 
residential development on the property as a result of clearing of 
vegetation, earth-moving activities, and construction of structures.

Corrections

    In our March 18, 2019, notice (84 FR 9806), we did not provide the 
correct permit number. The correct permit number is TE33684D-0.
    We also wish to clarify how the public can submit comments. Please 
see Submitting Comments under ADDRESSES, above.
    Finally, while the original end date for the comment period was 
April 17, 2019, we are extending the comment period to May 8, 2019, 
because of the errors in our original notice.

Authority

    We provide this notice under section 10(c) of the ESA and its 
implementing regulations (50 CFR 17.22 and 17.32) and the National 
Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and its implementing 
regulations (40 CFR 1506.6).
