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.

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Initiation of a 5- Year Review of Greenback Cutthroat Trout

Wed, Dec 14 2005 11:00:00 GMT

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) announces a 5- year review of greenback cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki stomias) under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA). A 5year review is a periodic process conducted to ensure that the listing classification of a species is accurate. A 5year review is based on the best scientific and commercial data available at the time of the review; therefore, we are requesting submission of any such information on greenback cutthroat trout that has become available since its reclassification as a threatened species in 1978. Based on the results of this 5year review, we will make the requisite finding under the ESA.
