Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 212 / Friday, November 5, 2021 / Notices

to mitigate for take of the eastern indigo

snake by implementing conservation

measures in the Standard Protection

Measures for the Eastern Indigo Snake

(Service 2013), which primarily focus

on the preservation of the species

during land conversion. The applicant

will also install and maintain silt fence

and chain-link fence along the entire

project boundary and the perimeter of

the project area to deter the species from

entering the roadway and to reduce

wildlife interactions within the

construction zone. In addition to these

measures, the applicant will contribute

$22,820, which is calculated as $163 per

ac of converted habitat, to the Wildlife

Foundation of Florida—Eastern Indigo

Snake Conservation Fund. This

contribution will be used to help ensure

the long-term viability of the species by

maintaining and enhancing existing

populations via habitat conservation,

restoration, and management;

monitoring the status of the extant

populations; identifying and securing

additional eastern indigo snake

populations and habitat; repatriating

populations through reintroductions;

and supporting research that guides

land management and provides

demographic and ecological data. The

Service would require the applicant to

make the contribution to the Fund prior

to engaging in activities associated with

the project.

Public Availability of Comments

Before including your address, phone

number, email address, or other

personal identifying information in your

comment, be aware that your entire

comment, including your personal

identifying information, may be made

available to the public. While you may

request that we withhold your personal

identifying information, we cannot

guarantee that we will be able to do so.

Our Preliminary Determination

The Service has made a preliminary

determination that the applicant’s

project, including land clearing,

infrastructure building, landscaping,

and the proposed mitigation measures,

would individually and cumulatively

have a minor or negligible effect on the

eastern indigo snake and the

environment. Therefore, we have

preliminarily concluded that the ITP for

this project would qualify for categorical

exclusion and the HCP is low effect

under our NEPA regulations at 43 CFR

46.205 and 46.210. A low-effect HCP is

one that would result in (1) minor or

negligible effects on federally listed,

proposed, and candidate species and

their habitats; (2) minor or negligible

effects on other environmental values or

resources; and (3) impacts that, when

considered together with the impacts of

other past, present, and reasonably

foreseeable similarly situated projects,

would not over time result in significant

cumulative effects to environmental

values or resources.

Next Steps

The Service will evaluate the

application and the comments received

to determine whether to issue the

requested permit. We will also conduct

an intra-Service consultation pursuant

to section 7 of the ESA to evaluate the

effects of the proposed take. After

considering the preceding findings, we

will determine whether the permit

issuance criteria of section 10(a)(1)(B) of

the ESA have been met. If met, the

Service will issue ITP number

PER0017213 to Florida Department of

Transportation—Florida’s Turnpike

Enterprise.

Authority

The Service provides this notice

under section 10(c) of the ESA (16

U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and its

implementing regulations (50 CFR

17.32) and NEPA (42 U.S.C. 4321 et

seq.) and its implementing regulations

(40 CFR 1506.6 and 43 CFR 46.305).

(hereinafter, OSC), at 1 and 3. The OSC

proposed the denial of Respondent’s

application for DEA Certificate of

because Respondent was excluded from

‘‘participation in Medicare, Medicaid,

and all Federal health care programs

pursuant to section 1320a–7(a) of Title

42’’ and such exclusion ‘‘warrants

denial of [Respondent’s] application for

a DEA registration pursuant to 21 U.S.C.

824(a)(5).’’ Id. at 1–2 (citing Narciso A.

Reyes, M.D., 83 FR 61,678 (2018)).

was entered against Respondent based

on his conviction on one count of

‘‘Racketeering-Transporting In Aid of

violation of 18 U.S.C. 1952(a)(3) and 2.

Id. at 1 (citing U.S. v. George Roussis,

No. 2:17–CR–00232–SRC–1 (D.N.J. Oct.

16, 2017)). The OSC further alleged that

‘‘[b]ased on [Respondent’s] conviction,

the U.S. Department of Health and

Human Services, Office of [the]

Inspector General (‘‘HHS/OIG’’),

mandatorily excluded [Respondent]

from participation in Medicare,

Medicaid, and all Federal health care

programs pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1320a–

7(a).’’ Id. at 2. According to the OSC, the

exclusion was effective on April 19,

2018, and runs for 13 years. Id.

The OSC notified Respondent of the

right to request a hearing on the

allegations or to submit a written

statement, while waiving the right to a

hearing, the procedures for electing each

option, and the consequences for failing

to elect either option. Id. (citing 21 CFR

1301.43). The OSC also notified

Respondent of the opportunity to

submit a corrective action plan. Id. at 2–

3 (citing 21 U.S.C. 824(c)(2)(C)).

By letter dated September 2, 2020,

Respondent timely requested a hearing.

Administrative Law Judge Exhibit

(hereinafter, ALJX) 2. The matter was

placed on the docket of the Office of

Administrative Law Judges and was

assigned to Administrative Law Judge
