Title: Listing Endangered and Threatened Species and Designating Critical Habitat; Implementing Changes to the Regulations for Designating Critical Habitat | |
Abstract: The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) propose to amend portions of title 50, part 424, of the Code of Federal Regulations, which implements the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. Part 424 clarifies, interprets, and implements portions of the Act concerning the procedures and criteria used for adding species to the Lists of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants and designating and revising critical habitat. Specifically, we propose to amend portions of part 424 that clarify procedures for designating and revising critical habitat. The proposed amendments would make minor edits to the scope and purpose, add and remove some definitions, clarify the criteria for designating critical habitat, and clarify the instructions for conducting the impacts analysis and considering exclusions. | |
