We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), propose to list the Florida Keys mole skink (Plestiodon egregius egregius), a lizard subspecies from the Florida Keys, Florida, as a threatened species and designate critical habitat under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). This determination also serves as our 12- month finding on a petition to list the Florida Keys mole skink. After a review of the best available scientific and commercial information, we find that listing the species is warranted. Accordingly, we propose to list the Florida Keys mole skink as a threatened species with a rule issued under section 4(d) of the Act (``4(d) rule''). If we finalize this rule as proposed, it would add this species to the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and extend the Act's protections to the species. We also propose to designate critical habitat for the Florida Keys mole skink under the Act. In total, approximately 7,068 acres (2,860 hectares) within Monroe County in the Florida Keys, Florida, fall within the boundaries of the proposed critical habitat designation. We also announce the availability of a draft economic analysis of the proposed designation of critical habitat for the Florida Keys mole skink.

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) is announcing a challenge competition to explore the resources and infrastructure needed to integrate real-world data from healthcare systems into systematic review findings. This healthcare systems data can augment study findings synthesized in systematic reviews in a number of ways, including by filling evidence gaps identified in the systematic review to strengthen the available evidence, and by examining the applicability of systematic review findings to real-world populations, including population subgroups not examined in published studies. Ultimately, this work will help AHRQ understand if and how sources of data and information outside of traditional systematic reviews, particularly from healthcare systems themselves, could be used alongside systematic reviews to improve healthcare decision making, healthcare delivery and potentially patient outcomes. This challenge competition will start on (September 26, 2022) and will be completed in two phases, with cash prizes awarded at the end of Phase 2 to all of those proceeding to Phase 2 and to the winners of Phase 2. The winner and runner-up from Phase 2 will be posted on the AHRQ website.
