Title: Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Critical Habitat Designation for the Northern Wormwood 
Abstract:

We will propose to designate critical habitat, to the maximum extent prudent and determinable, for the northern wormwood under the Endangered Species Act. We are required to designate critical habitat, to the maximum extent prudent and determinable, concurrent with a listing determination for the species. We are developing a listing determination for the northern wormwood as a separate rulemaking action (RIN 1018-AY91). Northern wormwood is a low-growing, tap-rooted biennial or perennial plant that grows in basalt, compacted cobble, and sand on the banks of the Columbia River. This species has two known populations in Washington State, one in Grant County and one in Klickitat County.
