+				authorized by section 10(a)(1)(A) of the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.
+				) and our regulations governing the taking of endangered species in

+				The applicant requests a permit to take (salvage) the endangered
+				Indiana bat (
+				<species_scientific name="Myotis sodalis">Myotis sodalis

+				) at the Bishop Hill Wind Energy Project,
+				<research_location woeId="12588114" type="County"
+					name="Henry, IL, US">Henry County, IL</research_location>
+				. The applicant proposes a maximum take of two Indiana bats during
+				proposed research to determine operating methods to avoid long-term
+				take of the species at the facility.
+			</p>
+			<p type="1">Under the research proposal, Bishop Hill Energy would
+				evaluate bat mortality and take avoidance at the facility to benefit
+				listed and unlisted bat species. The primary goal of the research is
+				to evaluate and devise biologically based operational protocols for
+				turbines at the Henry County facility to successfully avoid take of
+				listed bat species.</p>
+			<p type="1">
+				In addition, information generated by the proposed research could be
+				used to inform operational protocols at other operating wind energy
+				projects within the range of
+				<research_location woeId="2347573" type="State"
+					name="Indiana, US">Indiana</research_location>
+				bats, thereby enhancing the propagation and survival of the listed
+				species. The proposed study is designed to research (1) effective
+				methods to avoid mortality of listed bats through curtailment of
+				turbines and (2) the relationship between temperature and risk of
+				bat mortality. The applicant requests a permit term of two years.
+			</p>
+			<p type="1">The environmental impacts of the proposed study have been
+				evaluated in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act
+				of 1969 (NEPA; 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.). The USFWS has prepared an
+				Environmental Assessment (EA) to conduct this evaluation prior to
+				making its decision on permit issuance. The EA is available for
+				public review concurrent with the permit application.</p>
