Eglin AFB GTTR 2017 Rule Bi Op UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NATIONAL MARINE FISHERIES SERVICE Silver Spring, MO 2081 0 JAN 1 3 2017 Mr. Bruce Hagedorn Chief, Eglin Natural Resources 96 CEG/CEIEA 501 De Leon Street, Suite 101 Eglin Air Force Base, FL 32542-5133 RE: Endangered Species Act section 7 Programmatic Biological Opinion and Conference Report on the U.S. Air Force's Ongoing Eglin Gulf Testing and Training Range Activities (FPR-2016-9151) Dear Mr. Hagedorn: Enclosed is the National Marine Fisheries Service's (NMFS) biological opinion and conference report on the effects of the U.S. Air Force's Eglin Gulf Testing and Training Range activities on endangered and threatened species under NMFS 's jurisdiction and critical habitat that has been designated for those species. We have prepared the biological opinion pursuant to section 7(a)(2) of the Endangered Species Act, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1536(a)(2)). Based on our assessment, we concluded that these activities are likely to adversely affect, but not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of, threatened and endangered species under NMFS' jurisdiction and are not likely to adversely affect, nor destroy or adversely modify, designated critical habitat in the Eglin Gulf Testing and Training Range action area. This biological opinion and conference report concludes section 7 consultation on the U.S. Air Force's Eglin Gulf Testing and Training Range activities. The U.S. Air Force is required to reinitiate formal consultation on the proposed action, where it retains discretionary involvement or control over the action and if: (1) the amount of extent of incidental take is exceeded; (2) new information reveals effects of the agency action that may affect ESA-listed species or designated critical habitat in a manner or to an extent not considered in this biological opinion and conference report; (3) the agency action is subsequently modified in a manner that causes an effect to the ESA-listed species or designated critical habitat not considered in this biological opinion and conference report; or (4) a new species is ESA-listed or critical habitat designated that may be affected by the action. In instances where the amount or extent of incidental take is exceeded, the U.S. Air Force must contact the Office of Protected Resources, ESA Interagency Cooperation Division immediately. * Printed on Recycled Paper If you have any questions regarding this biological opinion, please contact Cathy Tortorici, Chief, ESA Interagency Cooperation Division at (301) 427-8495 or [email protected].

  • Recommended Safe Storage Prohibited Firearms Levels 1, 2 & 3
    Vers 2.2 July 2021 OFFICIAL SCHEDULE 1 PROHIBITED FIREARMS Safe Storage Levels 1, 2 & 3 All persons possessing firearms in NSW must comply with the safe keeping and storage requirements as prescribed by the Firearms Act 1996, associated Regulation and as recommended by the Commissioner. This fact sheet provides information on the safe keeping and storage requirements for prohibited firearms. What are the general requirements in relation to the safe keeping of firearms? All licence holders in NSW are subject to the general requirement for safe storage of firearms under section 39 of the Firearms Act 1996 (Act). Any person in possession of a firearm must take all reasonable precautions to ensure the firearm is kept safely, is not lost or stolen and does not come into the possession of an unauthorised person. A licence or permit holder may only store a firearm in an inhabited dwelling or in a dwelling where the licence or permit holder, or someone on their behalf, can easily observe the premises where the firearm is stored. An inhabited dwelling is a person’s principal place of residence, where the licence or permit holder may or may not also live, or where a person lives while the firearm is stored there. If a person stores their firearms in a place other than an inhabited dwelling, they can do so provided the following safe storage requirements are met or exceeded: All firearms must be - • stored in a safe of an approved type, and • fitted with a trigger or barrel lock that prevents the firearm from being discharged, and • secured individually on, or in, a locked device within the safe.
