{"abstract":"We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce receipt of an application from Stillwater Capital Assets, LLC (applicant) for an incidental take permit (ITP) under the Endangered Species Act. The applicant requests the ITP to take the federally listed threatened Alabama beach mouse incidental to the construction of a single-family home in Baldwin County, Alabama. We request public comment on the application, which includes the applicant's proposed habitat conservation plans (HCP), and on the Service's preliminary determination that the proposed permitting action may be eligible for a categorical exclusion pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Department of the Interior's (DOI) NEPA regulations, and the DOI Departmental Manual. To make this preliminary determination, we prepared a draft screening form and NEPA statement for HCPs, both of which are also available for public review. We invite comment from the public and local, State, Tribal, and Federal agencies.","action":"Notice of availability; request for comment.","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/2026/04/21/2026-07705.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"91 FR 21307","comment_url":"http://www.regulations.gov/commenton/FWS-R4-ES-2026-0199-0001","comments_close_on":"2026-05-21","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"We must receive your written comments on or before May 21, 2026.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket No. FWS-R4-ES-2026-0199","FXES11140400000-267-FF04EF4000"],"dockets":[{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"20250905_section_e_Stillwater Capital Assets_Redacted","document_id":"FWS-R4-ES-2026-0199-0004"},{"title":"Stillwater Capital Assets HCP V2","document_id":"FWS-R4-ES-2026-0199-0003"},{"title":"PER23578321_NEPA_Stillwater Capital Assets LLC_jrp","document_id":"FWS-R4-ES-2026-0199-0002"}],"agency_name":"FWS","documents":[{"comment_count":0,"comment_start_date":"2026-04-21","updated_at":"2026-04-21T09:56:48.680-04:00","comment_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/FWS-R4-ES-2026-0199-0001","allow_late_comments":false,"id":"FWS-R4-ES-2026-0199-0001","comment_end_date":"2026-05-22","regulations_dot_gov_open_for_comment":true}],"supporting_documents_count":3,"id":"FWS-R4-ES-2026-0199","title":"Receipt of Incidental Take Permit Application and Proposed Habitat Conservation Plan for the Alabama beach mouse; Baldwin County, AL; Categorical Exclusion (applicant: Stillwater Capital Assets)"}],"document_number":"2026-07705","effective_on":null,"end_page":21308,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2026/04/21/2026-07705.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/04/21/2026-07705/receipt-of-incidental-take-permit-application-and-proposed-habitat-conservation-plan-for-the-alabama","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2026-07705?publication_date=2026-04-21","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2026-04-21/2026-07705/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":2,"page_views":{"count":44,"last_updated":"2026-04-23 00:15:03 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-04-21/pdf/2026-07705.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-07705.pdf?1776689111","publication_date":"2026-04-21","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2026/04/21/2026-07705.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"20250905_section_e_Stillwater Capital Assets_Redacted","document_id":"FWS-R4-ES-2026-0199-0004"},{"title":"Stillwater Capital Assets HCP V2","document_id":"FWS-R4-ES-2026-0199-0003"},{"title":"PER23578321_NEPA_Stillwater Capital Assets LLC_jrp","document_id":"FWS-R4-ES-2026-0199-0002"}],"comments_count":1,"agency_id":"FWS","comments_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=FWS-R4-ES-2026-0199","supporting_documents_count":3,"docket_id":"FWS-R4-ES-2026-0199","document_id":"FWS-R4-ES-2026-0199-0001","regulation_id_number":null,"title":"Receipt of Incidental Take Permit Application and Proposed Habitat Conservation Plan for the Alabama beach mouse; Baldwin County, AL; Categorical Exclusion (applicant: Stillwater Capital Assets)","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2026-04-22T14:55:03Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":"http://www.regulations.gov/commenton/FWS-R4-ES-2026-0199-0001","significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":21307,"subtype":null,"title":"Receipt of Incidental Take Permit Application and Proposed Habitat Conservation Plan for the Alabama Beach Mouse; Baldwin County, AL; Categorical Exclusion","toc_doc":"Incidental Take and Proposed Habitat Conservation Plan for the Alabama beach mouse; Baldwin County, AL; Categorical Exclusion","toc_subject":"Permits; Applications, Issuances, etc.","topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":91}
