{"abstract":"The Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) is amending its Forested Trust Lands Habitat Conservation Plan (2010 HCP) to incorporate the terms of a settlement agreement and add lands that it acquired since the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) issued an incidental take permit (permit) to DNRC in December 2011. The Service is proposing to amend the associated permit under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) to authorize additional take of all but one of the species covered in the 2010 HCP resulting from addition of the acquired lands. We announce the availability of the following documents for review and comment by the public and Federal, Tribal, State, and local governments: Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (Draft SEIS) for amending the 2010 HCP and permit; Proposed Amended HCP Commitments for Additional Lands and Terms of the Settlement Agreement (Attachment A of the Draft SEIS); and Draft DNRC Assessment of Incidental Take for the Proposed Amended HCP (Attachment C of the Draft SEIS).","action":"Notice of availability; request for comments.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR","name":"Interior Department","id":253,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/interior-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/253","parent_id":null,"slug":"interior-department"},{"raw_name":"Fish and Wildlife Service","name":"Fish and Wildlife Service","id":197,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/fish-and-wildlife-service","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/197","parent_id":253,"slug":"fish-and-wildlife-service"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2017/08/29/2017-18418.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"82 FR 41047","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Submitting Comments: Written comments must be submitted by October 13, 2017.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket No. FWS-R6-ES-2017-0044","FF06E11000-167-FXES11120600000"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2017-18418","effective_on":null,"end_page":41049,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2017/08/29/2017-18418.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/08/29/2017-18418/endangered-and-threatened-wildlife-and-plants-permits-draft-supplement-to-environmental-impact","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2017-18418?publication_date=2017-08-29","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2017-08-29/2017-18418/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":3,"page_views":{"count":208,"last_updated":"2026-04-04 18:15:03 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2017-08-29/pdf/2017-18418.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2017-18418.pdf?1503924381","publication_date":"2017-08-29","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2017/08/29/2017-18418.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement For the Proposed Amendment to the Endangered Species Act 10(a)(1)(B) Permit Associated with the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation Forested State Trust Lands Habitat Conservation Plan","document_id":"FWS-R6-ES-2017-0044-0023"},{"title":"Appendix F. 2012 HCP Baseline Tables for Grizzly Bears and Lynx","document_id":"FWS-R6-ES-2017-0044-0011"},{"title":"Appendix E.
