Section 10(a)(1)(B) permit definition
Section 10(a)(1)(B) permit means the permit issued by the USFWS to the City of Chula Vista under Section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Federal Endangered Species Act (16 U.S.C 1539 (a)(1)(B)) to allow the incidental take of species adequately conserved and/or Chula Vista covered species, as identified in the Chula Vista MSCP subarea plan, as adopted on May 13, 2003, and as may be amended from time to time, to the extent take of such species is otherwise prohibited under Section 9 of the Act. The take of listed plant species is not prohibited under the ESA or authorized under the Section 10(a)(1)(B) permit. However, plant species adequately conserved by the Chula Vista subarea plan, or by the Chula Vista subarea plan in conjunction with other approved MSCP subarea plans, are listed in the Section 10(a)(1)(B) permit in recognition of the conservation measures and benefits provided for them under the approved subarea plans.
Examples of Section 10(a)(1)(B) permit in a sentence
It is necessary to establish a procedure for amending the Section 10(a)(1)(B) permit.
Because take of listed plant species is not prohibited under the federal ESA and therefore is not authorized under the FWS Section 10(a)(1)(B) permit, the Yreka phlox is listed on the FWS Section 10(a)(1)(B) permit in recognition of the conservation measures and benefits provided for this plant species under the HCP.
Any reference in this Agreement or in the HCP to incidental take or take of covered species shall, for the purpose of incidental take authorized under the FWS Section 10(a)(1)(B) permit, refer solely to species on the covered species list other than the Yreka phlox.
Such minor amendments do not alter the terms of the Section 10(a)(1)(B) permit.
