Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Endangered Species Status for Ocmulgee Skullcap and Designation of Critical Habitat
We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), list the Ocmulgee skullcap (Scutellaria ocmulgee), a plant species from Georgia and South Carolina as an endangered species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (Act), as amended. We also designate critical habitat. In total, approximately 6,661 acres (2,696 hectares) in Bibb, Bleckley, Burke, Columbia, Houston, Monroe, Pulaski, Richmond, Screven, and Twiggs Counties, Georgia, and in Aiken and Edgefield Counties, South Carolina, fall within the boundaries of the critical habitat designation. This rule extends the protections of the Act to this species and its designated critical habitat.
Receipt of Enhancement of Survival Permit Application and Proposed Conservation Benefit Agreement for Introduction of the Endangered Orangeblack Hawaiian Damselfly to a Conservation Area on the Island of Lāna'i; Categorical Exclusion
We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), have received an application from P[umacr]lama L[amacr]na[revaps]i for an enhancement of survival permit (permit) pursuant to the Endangered Species Act. If approved, the permit would authorize take of the orangeblack Hawaiian damselfly, ae[revaps]o (Hawaiian stilt), [revaps]alae ke[revaps]oke[revaps]o (Hawaiian coot) and assimulans yellow-faced bee (the "covered species"). The application includes a draft conservation benefit agreement, describing the actions the applicant will take to create new habitat for the covered species, facilitate reintroduction of the orangeblack Hawaiian damselfly to L[amacr]na[revaps]i, and achieve a net conservation benefit for each of the covered species. We have also prepared a draft environmental action statement for our preliminary determination that the permit decision may be eligible for categorical exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act. We invite the public and local, State, Tribal, Native Hawaiian, and Federal agencies to comment on these documents.
