Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Designation of Critical Habitat for the Sonoma County Distinct

Wed, Dec 14 2005 11:00:00 GMT

We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), designate and exclude approximately 17,418 acres (ac) (7,049 hectares (ha)) of critical habitat for the Sonoma County distinct population segment of the California tiger salamander (Ambystoma californiense) pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). We are excluding all critical habitat based on interim conservation strategies and measures being implemented by those local governing agencies with land use authority over the area and also as a result of economic exclusions authorized under section 4(b)(2) of the Act. Therefore, no critical habitat is being designated for the Sonoma County distinct population segment of the California tiger salamander in Sonoma County, California.

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Designation of Critical Habitat for Astragalus lentiginosus var.

Wed, Dec 14 2005 11:00:00 GMT

We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), herein address the designation of critical habitat for Astragalus lentiginosus var. coachellae (Coachella Valley milkvetch) under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). In total, we are designating zero acres of critical habitat for Astragalus lentiginosus var. coachellae. We identified 17,746 ac (7,182 ha) of local, County, State, Federal, and private lands containing features essential to the conservation of A.l. var. coachellae in Riverside County. However, all habitat with essential features is located within areas to be conserved and managed by the draft Coachella Valley MSHCP/NNCP or within areas conserved within the Coachella Valley Preserve System under the Coachella Valley fringetoed HCP, and therefore is excluded or exempted from critical habitat under section 4(b)(2) or 3(5)(A) of the Act.

Docket No. OST-2005-23194 RIN 2105-AD56

Wed, Dec 14 2005 11:00:00 GMT

The Department is considering amending its rule on price advertising, and it is seeking comment on several options. Under the existing rule, the Department considers any advertisement that states a price for air transportation that is not the total price the consumer will pay to be unfair or deceptive in violation of the statute under which this provision was adopted in 1984. Although it has not amended the codified rule, in practice the Department has long allowed an exception to it for certain taxes, fees, and other charges that are imposed by a government entity. As a matter of prosecutorial discretion, the Department does not take enforcement action against any advertisement that omits these charges from the quoted fare, provided that the charges are collected on a perpassenger basis and are not ad valorem in nature, and provided further that the advertisement clearly indicates the existence and amount of these charges so that consumers can easily calculate the total fare.

Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; Commercial Shark Management Measures

Wed, Dec 14 2005 11:00:00 GMT

NMFS has decided not to initiate the rulemaking requested by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Marine Fisheries (Petitioner), to amend the current time/ area closure for Atlantic sharks off the MidAtlantic region.

NMFS will consider new information concerning the impacts of the current time/area closure (which has been in place for one time period from January 1 to July 31, 2005) and the results of upcoming large coastal shark (LCS) and dusky shark stock assessments to determine whether changes to the time/area closure are appropriate. In addition, NMFS will monitor any changes to shark regulations by coastal states and will continue to work with the Atlantic States Marine F
