City of Highland Submits Application for Incidental Take Permit for San Bernardino Kangaroo Rat, Seeking Public Comment

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has received an application from the City of Highland for an incidental take permit under the Endangered Species Act, which would allow for the incidental taking of the federally endangered San Bernardino kangaroo rat during construction in San Bernardino County, California. The agency is seeking public comment on the application, which includes a proposed habitat conservation plan, and has preliminarily determined that the plan qualifies as 'low-effect' and categorically excluded under the National Environmental Policy Act.
