Final Environmental Impact Statement and Final Habitat 
Conservation Plan for the Skookumchuck Wind Energy Project, Lewis and 
Thurston Counties, Washington; Correction

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of availability; correction.

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

SUMMARY: On May 31, 2019, we, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 
announced via a Federal Register notice the availability of a final 
environmental impact statement (EIS) and a final habitat conservation 
plan addressing the Skookumchuck Wind Energy Project in Lewis and 
Thurston Counties, Washington. The Skookumchuck Wind Energy Project LLC 
is requesting an incidental take permit (ITP) covering the take of one 
threatened species listed under the Endangered Species Act, and two 
non-listed federally protected species. The final EIS has been prepared 
in response to the ITP application in accordance with the requirements 
of the National Environmental Policy Act. Our Federal Register notice 
inadvertently did not give the correct docket number for the public to 
use to find the announced documents online. In this notice, we correct 
that error.

DATES: The Service's ITP decision will occur no sooner than 30 days 
after publication of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's notice 
of the final EIS in the Federal Register, and will be documented in a 
record of decision.

following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 31, 2019, we, the U.S. Fish and 
Wildlife Service (Service), announced the availability of a final 
environmental impact statement and a final habitat conservation plan 
addressing the Skookumchuck Wind Energy Project (project) in Lewis and 
Thurston Counties, Washington (84 FR 25299). The Skookumchuck Wind 
Energy Project LLC is requesting an incidental take permit covering the 
take of the marbled murrelet (Brachyramphus marmoratus), bald eagle 
(Haliaeetus leucocephalus), and golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) likely 
to be caused by the operation of the project over a 30-year period.
    The murrelet is listed as threatened under the Endangered Species 
Act of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). Bald and golden 
eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 
U.S.C. 668-668d).

Corrections

    In our May 31, 2019, notice (84 FR 25299), we did not provide the 
correct docket number in https://www.regulations.gov/ for the public to 
use to access the documents announced by that notice. The correct 
docket number is Docket No. FWS-R1-ES-2018-0095. Our ADDRESSES section 
above has been corrected accordingly. We regret any inconvenience 
caused by this error.

Authority

    We provide this notice in accordance with the requirements of 
section 10(c) of the ESA and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 17.22 
and 17.32) and NEPA and its implementing regulations (40 CFR 1506.6).
