{"abstract":"We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), have received an application from the Haleakala Ranch Company (the Ranch) for an enhancement of survival permit (permit) pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA). The permit application includes a draft Safe Harbor Agreement (SHA) between the Ranch, the State of Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR), and the Service. Implementation of the proposed SHA is intended to benefit the recovery of the nene (Hawaiian goose, Branta sandvicensis) on 3,056 acres of privately-owned Ranch land on the island of Maui. The proposed SHA conservation measures on the Ranch include nene habitat improvement and maintenance, establishment and maintenance of a nene release pen, and control of predators. The activities implemented under this SHA will aid in increasing the current range of the covered species, restoring this species to part of its historic range, and increasing the total population of the species, thus contributing to its overall recovery. The Service is making the permit application, including the proposed SHA, and the NEPA environmental action statement for categorical exclusion available for public review and invites comments, including the submission of written data.","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/2019/02/19/2019-02633.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"84 FR 4849","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2019-03-21","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"All comments from interested parties must be received on or before March 21, 2019.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["FWS-R1-ES-2018-N160","FXES11140100000-189-FF01E00000"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2019-02633","effective_on":null,"end_page":4851,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2019/02/19/2019-02633.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2019/02/19/2019-02633/draft-safe-harbor-agreement-for-nene-at-haleakala-ranch-maui","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2019-02633?publication_date=2019-02-19","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2019-02-19/2019-02633/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":3,"page_views":{"count":152,"last_updated":"2026-09-22 04:15:07 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2019-02-19/pdf/2019-02633.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2019-02633.pdf?1550238323","publication_date":"2019-02-19","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2019/02/19/2019-02633.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2023-02-28T23:27:46Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":4849,"subtype":null,"title":"Draft Safe Harbor Agreement for Nene at Haleakala Ranch, Maui","toc_doc":"Draft Safe Harbor Agreement for Nene at Haleakala Ranch, Maui","toc_subject":null,"topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":84}
