Fish and Wildlife Service,

ACTION: Final rules; corrections.
AGENCY:
We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, published final rules
in the Federal Register on April 6, 2012,
August 20, 2013, and September 26,
2013, revising our List of Endangered
and Threatened Wildlife. Inadvertently,
we made some errors in our amendatory
instructions. With this technical
correction, we correct those errors.
DATES: Effective January 14, 2014.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Susan Wilkinson, (703) 358–2506.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office
of the Federal Register (OFR) has made
us aware that one rule that published in
2012 and two rules that published in
2013 to revise the List of Endangered
and Threatened Wildlife (List) in title 50
of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
at 50 CFR part 17 contained amendatory
instructions that could not be followed.
This document corrects these
administrative errors, which in turn
corrects errors in the List in § 17.11(h).
SUMMARY:
Final Rule of April 6, 2012 (77 FR
20948)
In a rule that published April 6, 2012,
‘‘Listing of the Miami Blue Butterfly as
Endangered Throughout Its Range;
Listing of the Cassius Blue, Ceraunus
Blue, and Nickerbean Blue Butterflies as
Threatened Due to Similarity of
Appearance to the Miami Blue Butterfly
in Coastal South and Central Florida’’
(77 FR 20948), the second amendatory
instruction at 77 FR 20986 directed OFR
to amend § 17.11(h) by adding entries
for four species to the List. For three of
the species, the instruction was to
include these words in the Status
column of the List: ‘‘T(S/A) (coastal
south and central FL).’’ However, the
configuration of the table as presented
in the CFR does not provide sufficient
space in that column to accommodate
an addition of that length (i.e., most
entries in the Status column consist of
just a single letter, with the longest
E:\FR\FM\14JAR1.SGM
14JAR1
2381
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 9 / Tuesday, January 14, 2014 / Rules and Regulations
entries containing only three letters and
punctuation). Therefore, we are
correcting this instruction as set forth in
the rule portion of this document and
the rule text so that the Status column
will contain only ‘‘T(S/A)’’ and the
words ‘‘Coastal south and central FL’’
will be added to the preceding column
in the List (‘‘Vertebrate population
where endangered or threatened’’) for
the three species. Although these three
species are invertebrates, the only place
in the table to identify where they are
listed is in the column ‘‘Vertebrate
population where endangered or
threatened.’’ This change does not affect
the status of these species under the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (16 U.S.C 1531 et seq.).
Final Rule of August 20, 2013 (78 FR
51328)
In a rule of August 20, 2013,
‘‘Designation of Critical Habitat for the
Austin Blind and Jollyville Plateau
Salamanders’’ (78 FR 51328), the second
amendatory instruction at 78 FR 51362
directed OFR to amend § 17.11(h) by
adding entries for ‘‘Salamander,
Georgetown’’ and ‘‘Salamander,
Salado’’. However, the entries set forth
following this instruction were for the
Austin blind and Jollyville Plateau
salamanders. The instruction was
erroneous; the table entries were correct.
These same two species, the Austin
blind salamander and the Jollyville
Plateau salamander, were added to the
List in § 17.11(h) as the result of a final
rule that also published August 20,
2013, ‘‘Determination of Endangered
Species Status for the Austin Blind
Salamander and Threatened Species
Status for the Jollyville Plateau
Salamander Throughout Their Ranges’’
(78 FR 51278). Accordingly, we are
removing the second amendatory
instruction for this final rule and the
accompanying rule text as the
instruction was erroneous and is
unnecessary.
Final Rule of September 26, 2013 (78
FR 59556)
In a rule of September 26, 2013,
‘‘Designation of Critical Habitat for the
Fluted Kidneyshell and Slabside
Pearlymussel’’ (78 FR 59556), the
second amendatory instruction at 78 FR
59584 directed OFR to amend § 17.11(h)
by adding entries for ‘‘Kidneyshell,
fluted’’ and ‘‘Pearlymussel, slabside’’.
However, the species were added to the
List in another final rule that published
the same day, ‘‘Endangered Species
Status for the Fluted Kidneyshell and
Slabside Pearlymussel’’ (78 FR 59269;
September 26, 2013). Because the
species were added to the List by the
rule that published at 78 FR 59269, they
could not be added to the List again by
another rule. Therefore, we are
removing amendatory instruction
number 2 from the rule at 78 FR 59556

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, published final rules
in the Federal Register on April 6, 2012, August 20, 2013, and
September 26, 2013, revising our List of Endangered and Threatened
Wildlife. Inadvertently, we made some errors in our amendatory
instructions. With this technical correction, we correct those errors.
DATES: Effective January 14, 2014.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Susan Wilkinson, (703) 358-2506.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office of the Federal Register (OFR) has
made us aware that one rule that published in 2012 and two rules that
published in 2013 to revise the List of Endangered and Threatened
Wildlife (List) in title 50 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at
50 CFR part 17 contained amendatory instructions that could not be
followed. This document corrects these administrative errors, which in
turn corrects errors in the List in Sec. 17.11(h).
Final Rule of April 6, 2012 (77 FR 20948)
In a rule that published April 6, 2012, ``Listing of the Miami Blue
Butterfly as Endangered Throughout Its Range; Listing of the Cassius
Blue, Ceraunus Blue, and Nickerbean Blue Butterflies as Threatened Due
to Similarity of Appearance to the Miami Blue Butterfly in Coastal
South and Central Florida'' (77 FR 20948), the second amendatory
instruction at 77 FR 20986 directed OFR to amend Sec. 17.11(h) by
adding entries for four species to the List. For three of the species,
the instruction was to include these words in the Status column of the
List: ``T(S/A) (coastal south and central FL).'' However, the
configuration of the table as presented in the CFR does not provide
sufficient space in that column to accommodate an addition of that
length (i.e., most entries in the Status column consist of just a
single letter, with the longest
[[Page 2381]]
entries containing only three letters and punctuation). Therefore, we
are correcting this instruction as set forth in the rule portion of
this document and the rule text so that the Status column will contain
only ``T(S/A)'' and the words ``Coastal south and central FL'' will be
added to the preceding column in the List (``Vertebrate population
where endangered or threatened'') for the three species. Although these
three species are invertebrates, the only place in the table to
identify where they are listed is in the column ``Vertebrate population
where endangered or threatened.'' This change does not affect the
status of these species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (16 U.S.C 1531 et seq.).
Final Rule of August 20, 2013 (78 FR 51328)
In a rule of August 20, 2013, ``Designation of Critical Habitat for
the Austin Blind and Jollyville Plateau Salamanders'' (78 FR 51328),
the second amendatory instruction at 78 FR 51362 directed OFR to amend
Sec. 17.11(h) by adding entries for ``Salamander, Georgetown'' and
``Salamander, Salado''. However, the entries set forth following this
instruction were for the Austin blind and Jollyville Plateau
salamanders. The instruction was erroneous; the table entries were
correct. These same two species, the Austin blind salamander and the
Jollyville Plateau salamander, were added to the List in Sec. 17.11(h)
as the result of a final rule that also published August 20, 2013,
``Determination of Endangered Species Status for the Austin Blind
Salamander and Threatened Species Status for the Jollyville Plateau
Salamander Throughout Their Ranges'' (78 FR 51278). Accordingly, we are
removing the second amendatory instruction for this final rule and the
accompanying rule text as the instruction was erroneous and is
unnecessary.
Final Rule of September 26, 2013 (78 FR 59556)
In a rule of September 26, 2013, ``Designation of Critical Habitat
for the Fluted Kidneyshell and Slabside Pearlymussel'' (78 FR 59556),
the second amendatory instruction at 78 FR 59584 directed OFR to amend
Sec. 17.11(h) by adding entries for ``Kidneyshell, fluted'' and
``Pearlymussel, slabside''. However, the species were added to the List
in another final rule that published the same day, ``Endangered Species
Status for the Fluted Kidneyshell and Slabside Pearlymussel'' (78 FR
59269; September 26, 2013). Because the species were added to the List
by the rule that published at 78 FR 59269, they could not be added to
the List again by another rule. Therefore, we are removing amendatory
instruction number 2 from the rule at 78 FR 59556 and the accompanying
rule text as the instruction is unnecessary and cannot be performed.
Corrections
Accordingly, the following corrections are made to FR Doc. 2013-
