Title: Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Critical Habitat Designation for the Lesser Prairie Chicken  
Abstract:

We will, if determined to be prudent and determinable, designate critical habitat for the lesser prairie chicken, a threatened species, pursuant to the Endangered Species Act. FWS developed a listing determination for the lesser prairie chicken as a separate rulemaking action (see RIN 1018-AY21). Lesser prairie chicken populations need large tracts of relatively intact native grasslands and prairies to thrive. The lesser prairie chicken occurs in Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas.
