SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    In a notice published in the Federal Register on November 9, 2009 
(74 FR 57804), regarding the review of species that are candidates for 
listing under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 
1531 et seq.), we included a discussion of the Sierra Nevada Distinct 
Population Segment (DPS) of the mountain yellow-legged frog. In that 
discussion, we included language addressing some recent taxonomic work. 
That language did not accurately convey our intent that the entity that 
we consider to be a candidate had not changed despite the recent 
taxonomic studies. The language we used created confusion rather than 
clarifying this issue. Thus, we are replacing two sentences from the 
discussion with new language as described below.

Correction

    In the notice of review (74 FR 57804; November 9, 2009), we correct 
page 57830, under the section entitled Amphibians, in the discussion of 
``Mountain yellow-legged frog, Sierra Nevada DPS (Rana muscosa),'' by 
removing the two sentences, ``It is the population of R. muscosa found 
in the southern portion of the Sierra Nevada that is a candidate for 
listing. R. sierrae is not a candidate,'' and replacing them with the 
following sentence ``At this time, we have not adopted this taxonomic 
distinction of two species and continue to recognize mountain yellow-
legged frogs in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California as R. muscosa 
and as the candidate entity.''

    Dated: February 3, 2010.
