If you have previously submitted comments, please do not resubmit them because we have already incorporated them in the public record and will fully consider them in our final decision.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), are 
reopening the comment period for an application from the Oregon 
Department of State Lands (DSL) for an enhancement of survival (EOS) 
permit under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA). The 
documents available for review are a draft candidate conservation 
agreement with assurances (CCAA) for the greater sage-grouse, 
addressing rangeland management activities on Oregon State Trust Lands 
administered by DSL, and a draft environmental assessment (EA) pursuant 
to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). If you have previously 
submitted comments, please do not resubmit them because we have already 
incorporated them in the public record and will fully consider them in 
our final decision.

DATES: To ensure consideration, written comments must be received from 
interested parties no later than May 11, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 23, 2015, we published a Federal

CCAA and EA for a 30-day review and comment period. We are providing 
interested parties more time to review these documents by reopening the

our February 23, 2015, notice (80 FR 9475). For information on where to
