Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Technical Corrections for Seven Species on the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Six Species on the List of Endangered and Threatened Plants
Document Number: 2024-20314
Type: Rule
Date: 2024-09-10
Agency: Fish and Wildlife Service, Department of the Interior
We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, announce the correction of errors in the Lists of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants (Lists) made in previous publications. These corrections of publication errors are editorial in nature and involve no substantive changes to the Lists or any applicable regulations.
Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Endangered Species Status for the Alabama Hickorynut and Threatened Status With Section 4(d) Rule for Obovaria cf. unicolor
Document Number: 2024-20158
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2024-09-10
Agency: Fish and Wildlife Service, Department of the Interior
We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), propose to list the Alabama hickorynut (Obovaria unicolor) as an endangered species and the undescribed Obovaria cf. unicolor as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (Act), as amended. Both species are freshwater mussels. This document also serves as our 12-month finding on a petition to list the Alabama hickorynut. For Obovaria cf. unicolor, we also propose a rule issued under section 4(d) of the Act to provide for the conservation of the species. If we adopt this rule as proposed, it would apply the protections of the Act to these species. We find that designation of critical habitat for both the Alabama hickorynut and Obovaria cf. unicolor is prudent but not determinable at this time.
Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Endangered Species Status for Black Creek Crayfish and Designation of Critical Habitat
Document Number: 2024-20106
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2024-09-10
Agency: Fish and Wildlife Service, Department of the Interior
We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), propose to list the Black Creek crayfish (Procambarus pictus), a crayfish species from Florida, as an endangered species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). We also propose to designate critical habitat for the Black Creek crayfish under the Act. In total, approximately 1,056 kilometers (656 miles) of streams in Clay, Duval, Putnam, and St. Johns Counties, Florida, fall within the boundaries of the proposed critical habitat designation. If we finalize this rule as proposed, it would extend the Act's protections to this species and its designated critical habitat. We also announce the availability of an economic analysis of the proposed critical habitat designation for the Black Creek crayfish.
