EXPLANATION
The Code of Federal Regulations is a codification of the general and
permanent rules published in the Federal Register by the Executive
departments and agencies of the Federal Government. The Code is divided
into 50 titles which represent broad areas subject to Federal
regulation. Each title is divided into chapters which usually bear the
name of the issuing agency. Each chapter is further subdivided into
parts covering specific regulatory areas.
Each volume of the Code is revised at least once each calendar year
and issued on a quarterly basis approximately as follows:
Title 1 through Title 16.................................as of January 1
Title 17 through Title 27..................................as of April 1
Title 28 through Title 41...................................as of July 1
Title 42 through Title 50................................as of October 1
The appropriate revision date is printed on the cover of each
volume.
LEGAL STATUS
The contents of the Federal Register are required to be judicially
noticed (44 U.S.C. 1507). The Code of Federal Regulations is prima facie
evidence of the text of the original documents (44 U.S.C. 1510).
HOW TO USE THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS
The Code of Federal Regulations is kept up to date by the individual
issues of the Federal Register. These two publications must be used
together to determine the latest version of any given rule.
To determine whether a Code volume has been amended since its
revision date (in this case, October 1, 2024), consult the ``List of CFR
Sections Affected (LSA),'' which is issued monthly, and the ``Cumulative
List of Parts Affected,'' which appears in the Reader Aids section of
the daily Federal Register. These two lists will identify the Federal
Register page number of the latest amendment of any given rule.
EFFECTIVE AND EXPIRATION DATES
Each volume of the Code contains amendments published in the Federal
Register since the last revision of that volume of the Code. Source
citations for the regulations are referred to by volume number and page
number of the Federal Register and date of publication. Publication
dates and effective dates are usually not the same and care must be
exercised by the user in determining the actual effective date. In
instances where the effective date is beyond the cut-off date for the
Code a note has been inserted to reflect the future effective date. In
those instances where a regulation published in the Federal Register
states a date certain for expiration, an appropriate note will be
inserted following the text.
OMB CONTROL NUMBERS
The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (Pub. L. 96-511) requires
Federal agencies to display an OMB control number with their information
collection request.
[[Page vi]]
Many agencies have begun publishing numerous OMB control numbers as
amendments to existing regulations in the CFR. These OMB numbers are
placed as close as possible to the applicable recordkeeping or reporting
requirements.
PAST PROVISIONS OF THE CODE
Provisions of the Code that are no longer in force and effect as of
the revision date stated on the cover of each volume are not carried.
Code users may find the text of provisions in effect on any given date
in the past by using the appropriate List of CFR Sections Affected
(LSA). For the convenience of the reader, a ``List of CFR Sections
Affected'' is published at the end of each CFR volume. For changes to
the Code prior to the LSA listings at the end of the volume, consult
previous annual editions of the LSA. For changes to the Code prior to
2001, consult the List of CFR Sections Affected compilations, published
for 1949-1963, 1964-1972, 1973-1985, and 1986-2000.
``[RESERVED]'' TERMINOLOGY
The term ``[Reserved]'' is used as a place holder within the Code of
Federal Regulations. An agency may add regulatory information at a
``[Reserved]'' location at any time. Occasionally ``[Reserved]'' is used
editorially to indicate that a portion of the CFR was left vacant and
not dropped in error.
INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE
What is incorporation by reference? Incorporation by reference was
established by statute and allows Federal agencies to meet the
requirement to publish regulations in the Federal Register by referring
to materials already published elsewhere. For an incorporation to be
valid, the Director of the Federal Register must approve it. The legal
effect of incorporation by reference is that the material is treated as
if it were published in full in the Federal Register (5 U.S.C. 552(a)).
This material, like any other properly issued regulation, has the force
of law.
What is a proper incorporation by reference? The Director of the
Federal Register will approve an incorporation by reference only when
the requirements of 1 CFR part 51 are met. Some of the elements on which
approval is based are:
(a) The incorporation will substantially reduce the volume of
material published in the Federal Register.
(b) The matter incorporated is in fact available to the extent
necessary to afford fairness and uniformity in the administrative
process.
(c) The incorporating document is drafted and submitted for
publication in accordance with 1 CFR part 51.
What if the material incorporated by reference cannot be found? If
you have any problem locating or obtaining a copy of material listed as
an approved incorporation by reference, please contact the agency that
issued the regulation containing that incorporation. If, after
contacting the agency, you find the material is not available, please
notify the Director of the Federal Register, National Archives and
Records Administration, 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, MD 20740-6001,
or call 202-741-6010.
CFR INDEXES AND TABULAR GUIDES
A subject index to the Code of Federal Regulations is contained in a
separate volume, revised annually as of January 1, entitled CFR Index
and Finding Aids. This volume contains the Parallel Table of Authorities
and Rules. A list of CFR titles, chapters, subchapters, and parts and an
alphabetical list of agencies publishing in the CFR are also included in
this volume.
An index to the text of ``Title 3--The President'' is carried within
that volume.
[[Page vii]]
The Federal Register Index is issued monthly in cumulative form.
This index is based on a consolidation of the ``Contents'' entries in
the daily Federal Register.
A List of CFR Sections Affected (LSA) is published monthly, keyed to
the revision dates of the 50 CFR titles.
REPUBLICATION OF MATERIAL
There are no restrictions on the republication of material appearing
in the Code of Federal Regulations.

Canoe Creek Clubshell (Pleurobema athearni)
(1) Critical habitat units are depicted for St. Clair and Etowah
Counties, Alabama, on the maps in this entry.
(2) Within these areas, the physical or biological features
essential to the conservation of the Canoe Creek clubshell consist of
the following components:
(i) Suitable substrates and connected instream habitats,
characterized by a geomorphically stable stream channel (a channel that
maintains its lateral dimensions, longitudinal profile, and spatial
pattern over time without aggrading or degrading bed elevation) and
connected instream habitats (such as stable riffle-run-pool habitats
that provide flow refuges consisting of silt-free gravel and coarse sand
substrates).
(ii) A hydrologic flow regime (i.e., the magnitude, frequency,
duration, and seasonality of discharge over time) necessary to maintain
benthic habitats where the species is found; to maintain connectivity of
streams with the floodplain; and to provide for normal behavior, growth,
and survival of all life stages of Canoe Creek clubshell mussels and
their fish hosts.
(iii) Water quality (including, but not limited to, temperature,
conductivity, hardness, turbidity, ammonia, heavy metals, oxygen
content, and other chemical characteristics) necessary to sustain
natural physiological processes for normal behavior, growth, and
viability of all life stages of Canoe Creek clubshell mussels and their
fish hosts.
(iv) Sediment quality (including, but not limited to, coarse sand
and/or gravel substrates with low to moderate amounts of fine sediment,
low amounts of attached filamentous algae, and other physical and
chemical characteristics) necessary for normal behavior, growth, and
viability of all life stages of Canoe Creek clubshell mussels and their
fish hosts.
(v) The presence and abundance of fish hosts, which may include the
tricolor shiner (Cyprinella trichroistia), Alabama shiner (C.
callistia), and striped shiner (Luxilus chrysocephalus), necessary for
recruitment of the Canoe Creek clubshell mussel.
(3) Critical habitat does not include manmade structures (such as
buildings, aqueducts, runways, roads, and other paved areas) and the
land on which they are located existing within the legal boundaries on
the effective date of the final rule.
(4) Data layers defining map units were created from the National
Hydrography High Resolution Dataset, and critical habit units were
mapped using North American Datum (NAD) 1983 Universal Transverse
Mercator (UTM) Zone 16N coordinates. The maps in this entry, as modified
by any accompanying regulatory text, establish the boundaries of the
critical habitat designation. The coordinates or plot points or both on
which each map is based are available to the public at the Service's
internet site at https://www.fws.gov/daphne, at https://
www.regulations.gov at Docket No. FWS-R4-ES-2020-0078, and at the field
office responsible for this designation. You may obtain field office
location information by contacting one of the Service regional offices,
the addresses of which are listed at 50 CFR 2.2.

``Ouachita'' Fanshell (Cyprogenia cf. aberti)
(1) Critical habitat units are depicted for Ashley, Bradley, Clark,
Cleveland, Dallas, Drew, Grant, Nevada, and Ouachita Counties, Arkansas,
on the maps in this entry.
[[Page 34]]
(2) Within these areas, the physical or biological features
essential to the conservation of ``Ouachita'' fanshell consist of the
following components:
(i) Adequate flows, or a hydrologic flow regime (magnitude, timing,
frequency, duration, rate of change, and overall seasonality of
discharge over time), necessary to maintain benthic habitats where the
species is found and to maintain stream connectivity, specifically
providing for the exchange of nutrients and sediment for maintenance of
the mussel's and fish hosts' habitat and food availability, maintenance
of spawning habitat for native host fishes, and the ability for newly
transformed juveniles to settle and become established in their
habitats. Adequate flows ensure delivery of oxygen, enable reproduction,
deliver food to filter-feeding mussels, and reduce contaminants and fine
sediments from interstitial spaces.
(ii) Suitable substrates and connected instream habitats,
characterized by geomorphically stable stream channels and banks (that
is, channels that maintain lateral dimensions, longitudinal profiles,
and sinuosity patterns over time without an aggrading or degrading bed
elevation) with habitats that support a diversity of freshwater mussel
and native fish (such as stable riffle-run-pool habitats that provide
flow refuges consisting of silt-free gravel and coarse sand substrates).
(iii) Water and sediment quality necessary to sustain natural
physiological processes for normal behavior, growth, and viability of
all life stages, including, but not limited to, dissolved oxygen
(generally above 3 parts per million (ppm)) and water temperature
(generally below 80 degrees Fahrenheit ( [deg]F) (27 degrees Celsius (
[deg]C)). Additionally, water and sediment should be low in ammonia
(generally below 1.0 ppm total ammonia-nitrogen) and heavy metals, and
lack excessive total suspended solids and other pollutants.
(iv) The presence and abundance of fish hosts necessary for
recruitment of the ``Ouachita'' fanshell, including logperch (Percina
caprodes), slenderhead darter (Percina phoxocephala), or orangebelly
darter (Etheostoma radiosum).
(3) Critical habitat does not include manmade structures (such as
buildings, aqueducts, runways, roads, and other paved areas) and the
land on which they are located existing within the legal boundaries on
July 27, 2023.
(4) Data layers defining map units were created by overlaying
Natural Heritage Element Occurrence data and U.S. Geological Survey
hydrologic data for stream reaches using ESRI ArcGIS mapping software.
Critical habitat unit upstream and downstream limits were delineated at
the nearest road crossing or stream confluence of each occupied reach.
Data layers defining map units were created with U.S. Geological Survey
National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) Medium Flowline data. ArcGIS was also
used to calculate river kilometers and river miles from the NHD dataset,
and it was used to determine longitude and latitude coordinates in
decimal degrees. The projection used in mapping and calculating
distances and locations within the units was EPSG:4269-NAD83 Geographic.
Natural Heritage program and State mussel database species presence data
from Arkansas were used to select specific river and stream segments for
inclusion in the critical habitat layer. The maps in this entry, as
modified by any accompanying regulatory text, establish the boundaries
of the critical habitat designation. The coordinates or plot points or
both on which each map is based are available to the public at the
Service's internet site at https://www.fws.gov/species/ouachita-
fanshell-cyprogenia-sp-cf-aberti, at https://www.regulations.gov at

Counties, Tennessee; Ashtabula, Lake, and Trumbull Counties, Ohio;
Crawford and Mercer Counties, Pennsylvania; and Braxton, Calhoun, Clay,
Doddridge, Fayette, Gilmer, Kanawha, Pleasants, Ritchie, Tyler, and Wood
Counties, West Virginia.
(2) Within these areas, the physical or biological features
essential to the conservation of the round hickorynut consist of the
following components:
(i) Adequate flows, or a hydrologic flow regime (magnitude, timing,
frequency, duration, rate of change, and overall seasonality of
discharge over time), necessary to maintain benthic habitats where the
species is found and to maintain stream connectivity, specifically
providing for the exchange of nutrients and sediment for maintenance of
the mussel's and fish host's habitat and food availability, maintenance
of spawning habitat for native fishes, and the ability for newly
transformed juveniles to settle and become established in their
habitats. Adequate flows ensure delivery of oxygen, enable reproduction,
deliver food to filter-feeding mussels, and reduce contaminants and fine
sediments from interstitial spaces. Stream velocity is not static over
time, and variations may be attributed to seasonal changes (with higher
flows in winter/spring and lower flows in summer/fall), extreme weather
events (e.g., drought or floods), or anthropogenic influence (e.g., flow
regulation via impoundments).
(ii) Suitable substrates and connected instream habitats,
characterized by geomorphically stable stream channels and banks (i.e.,
channels that maintain lateral dimensions, longitudinal profiles, and
sinuosity patterns over time without an aggrading or degrading bed
elevation) with habitats that support a diversity of freshwater mussel
and native fish (such as, stable riffle-run-pool habitats that provide
flow refuges consisting of predominantly silt-free, stable sand, gravel,
and cobble substrates).
(iii) Water and sediment quality necessary to sustain natural
physiological processes for normal behavior, growth, and viability of
all life stages, including (but not limited to): Dissolved oxygen
(generally above 2 to 3 parts per million (ppm)), salinity (generally
below 2 to 4 ppm), and temperature (generally below 86 [deg]F ( [deg]F)
(30 [deg]Celsius ( [deg]C)). Additionally, water and sediment should be
low in ammonia (generally below 0.5 ppm total ammonia-nitrogen) and
heavy metal concentrations, and lack excessive total suspended solids
and other pollutants.
(iv) The presence and abundance of fish hosts necessary for
recruitment of the round hickorynut (i.e., eastern sand darter
(Ammocrypta pellucida), emerald darter (Etheostoma baileyi), greenside
darter (E. blennioides), Iowa darter (E. exile), fantail darter (E.
flabellare), Cumberland darter (E. susanae), spangled darter (E. obama),
variegate darter (E. variatum), blackside darter (Percina maculata),
frecklebelly darter (P. stictogaster), and banded sculpin (Cottus
carolinae)).
(3) Critical habitat does not include manmade structures (such as
buildings, aqueducts, runways, roads, and other paved areas) and the
land on which they are located existing within the legal boundaries on
April 10, 2023.
(4) Data layers defining map units were created by overlaying
Natural Heritage Element Occurrence data and U.S. Geological Survey
hydrologic data for stream reaches. The hydrologic data used in the
critical habitat maps were extracted from the U.S. Geological Survey
1:1M scale nationwide hydrologic layer (https://www.usgs.gov/core-
science-systems/ngp/national-hydrography) with a projection of
EPSG:4269--NAD83 Geographic. Natural Heritage program and State mussel
database species presence data from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, West
Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, and Mississippi were used to
select specific river and stream segments for inclusion in the critical
habitat layer. The maps in this entry, as modified by any accompanying
regulatory text, establish the boundaries of the critical habitat
designation. The coordinates or plot points or both on which each map is

Longsolid (Fusconaia subrotunda)
(1) Critical habitat units for the longsolid are depicted on the
maps in this entry for Jackson, Madison, and Marshall Counties, Alabama;
Bath, Butler, Campbell, Edmonson, Fleming, Green, Harrison, Hart,
Kenton, Morgan, Nicholas, Pendleton, Robertson, Rowan, Taylor, and
Warren Counties, Kentucky; Clarion, Crawford, Erie, Forest, Mercer,
Venango, and Warren Counties, Pennsylvania; Claiborne, Hancock, Hawkins,
Smith, Trousdale, and Wilson Counties, Tennessee; Russell, Scott,
Tazewell, and Wise Counties, Virginia; and Braxton, Calhoun, Clay,
Doddridge, Fayette, Gilmer, Kanawha, Ritchie, Tyler, and Wood Counties,
West Virginia.
(2) Within these areas, the physical or biological features
essential to the conservation of the longsolid consist of the following
components:
(i) Adequate flows, or a hydrologic flow regime (magnitude, timing,
frequency, duration, rate of change, and overall seasonality of
discharge over time), necessary to maintain benthic habitats where the
species is found and to maintain stream connectivity, specifically
providing for the exchange of nutrients and sediment for maintenance of
the mussel's and fish host's habitat and food availability, maintenance
of spawning habitat for native fishes, and the ability for newly
transformed juveniles to settle and become established in their
habitats. Adequate flows ensure delivery of oxygen, enable reproduction,
deliver food to filter-feeding mussels, and reduce contaminants and fine
sediments from interstitial spaces. Stream velocity is not static over
time, and variations may be attributed to seasonal changes (with higher
flows in winter/spring and lower flows in summer/fall), extreme weather
events (e.g., drought or floods), or anthropogenic influence (e.g., flow
regulation via impoundments).
(ii) Suitable substrates and connected instream habitats,
characterized by geomorphically stable stream channels and banks (i.e.,
channels that maintain lateral dimensions, longitudinal profiles, and
sinuosity patterns over time without an aggrading or degrading bed
elevation) with habitats that support a diversity of freshwater mussel
and native fish (such as, stable riffle-run-pool habitats that provide
flow refuges consisting of predominantly silt-free, stable sand, gravel,
and cobble substrates).
(iii) Water and sediment quality necessary to sustain natural
physiological processes for normal behavior, growth, and viability of
all life stages, including (but not limited to): Dissolved oxygen
(generally above 2 to 3 parts per million (ppm)), salinity (generally
below 2 to 4 ppm), and temperature (generally below 86 [deg]Fahrenheit (
[deg]F) (30 [deg]Celsius ( [deg]C)). Additionally, water and sediment
should be low in ammonia (generally below 0.5 ppm total ammonia-
nitrogen) and heavy metal concentrations, and lack excessive total
suspended solids and other pollutants.
(iv) The presence and abundance of fish hosts necessary for
recruitment of the longsolid (currently unknown, likely includes the
minnows of the family Cyprinidae and banded sculpin (Cottus carolinae)).
(3) Critical habitat does not include manmade structures (such as
buildings, aqueducts, runways, roads, and other paved areas) and the
land on which they are located existing within the legal boundaries on
April 10, 2023.
(4) Data layers defining map units were created by overlaying
Natural Heritage Element Occurrence data and U.S. Geological Survey
hydrologic data for stream reaches. The hydrologic data used in the
critical habitat maps were extracted from the U.S. Geological Survey
1:1M scale nationwide hydrologic layer (https://www.usgs.gov/core-

for maintaining the natural processes that support these habitat
components. The primary constituent elements include: (i) Geomorphically
stable stream and river channels and banks;
(ii) A flow regime (i.e., the magnitude, frequency, duration, and
seasonality of discharge over time) necessary for normal behavior,
growth, and survival of all life stages of mussels and their fish hosts
in the river environment;
(iii) Water quality, including temperature, pH, hardness, turbidity,
oxygen content, and other chemical characteristics, necessary for normal
behavior, growth, and viability of all life stages;
(iv) Sand, gravel, and/or cobble substrates with low to moderate
amounts of fine sediment, low amounts of attached filamentous algae, and
other physical and chemical characteristics necessary for normal
behavior, growth, and viability of all life stages;
(v) Fish hosts, with adequate living, foraging, and spawning areas
for them; and
(vi) Few or no competitive nonnative species present.

Cumberland elktoe (Alasmidonta atropurpurea), oyster mussel (Epioblasma
capsaeformis), and rough rabbitsfoot (Quadrula cylindrica strigillata).
(1) The primary constituent elements essential for the conservation
of the purple bean (Villosa perpurpurea), Cumberlandian combshell
(Epioblasma brevidens), Cumberland elktoe (Alasmidonta atropurpurea),
oyster mussel (Epioblasma capsaeformis), and rough rabbitsfoot (Quadrula
cylindrica strigillata) are those habitat components that support
feeding, sheltering, reproduction, and physical features for maintaining
the natural processes that support these habitat components. The primary
constituent elements include:
(i) Permanent, flowing stream reaches with a flow regime (i.e, the
magnitude, frequency, duration, and seasonality of discharge over time)
necessary for normal behavior, growth, and survival of all life stages
of the five mussels and their host fish;
(ii) Geomorphically stable stream and river channels and banks;
(iii) Stable substrates consisting of mud, sand, gravel, and/or
cobble/boulder, with low amounts of fine sediments or attached
filamentous algae;
(iv) Water quality (including temperature, turbidity, oxygen
content, and other characteristics) necessary for the normal behavior,
growth, and survival of all life stages of the five mussels and their
host fish; and
(v) Fish hosts with adequate living, foraging, and spawning areas
for them.

created with USGS National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) GIS data. The
1:100,000 river reach (route) files were used to calculate river
kilometers and miles. The following data sources were referenced to
identify upstream and downstream extents of critical habitat units: USGS
7.5' quadrangles; Georgia Department of Transportation county highway
maps; U.S. Census Bureau 1:100,000 TIGER line road data; 1993 Georgia
digital orthographic quarter quads (DOQQs); 2004 Florida DOQQs; and
DeLorme Atlas and Gazetteers for Alabama, Florida, and Georgia. The
projection used in mapping all units was Universal Transverse Mercator
(UTM), NAD 83, Zone 16 North.

Eight mussel species in four northeast Gulf of Mexico drainages: Choctaw
bean (Obovaria choctawensis), round ebonyshell (Reginaia rotulata),
southern kidneyshell (Ptychobranchus jonesi), Alabama pearlshell
(Margaritifera marrianae), fuzzy pigtoe (Pleurobema strodeanum), narrow
pigtoe (Fusconaia escambia), tapered pigtoe (Fusconaia burkei), and
southern sandshell (Hamiota australis)
(1) Critical habitat units are depicted for the following counties:
(i) Alabama. Barbour, Bullock, Butler, Coffee, Conecuh, Covington,
Crenshaw, Dale, Escambia, Geneva, Henry, Houston, Monroe, and Pike
Counties.
(ii) Florida. Bay, Escambia, Holmes, Jackson, Okaloosa, Santa Rosa,
Walton, and Washington Counties.
(2) Within these areas, the primary constituent elements of the
physical or biological features essential to the conservation of the
Alabama pearlshell, round ebonyshell, southern kidneyshell, Choctaw
bean, tapered pigtoe, narrow pigtoe, southern sandshell, and fuzzy
pigtoe consist of five components:
(i) Geomorphically stable stream and river channels and banks
(channels that maintain lateral dimensions, longitudinal profiles, and
sinuosity patterns over time without an aggrading or degrading bed
elevation).
(ii) Stable substrates of sand or mixtures of sand with clay or
gravel with low to moderate amounts of fine sediment and attached
filamentous algae.
(iii) A hydrologic flow regime (magnitude, frequency, duration, and
seasonality of discharge over time) necessary to maintain benthic
habitats where the species are found, and to maintain connectivity of
rivers with the floodplain, allowing the exchange of nutrients and
sediment for habitat maintenance, food availability, and spawning
habitat for native fishes.
(iv) Water quality, including temperature (not greater than 32
[deg]C), pH (between 6.0 to 8.5), oxygen content (not less than 5.0
milligrams per liter), hardness, turbidity, and other chemical
characteristics necessary for normal behavior, growth, and viability of
all life stages.
(v) The presence of fish hosts. Diverse assemblages of native fish
species will serve as a potential indication of host fish presence until
appropriate host fishes can be identified. For the fuzzy pigtoe and
tapered pigtoe, the presence of blacktail shiner (Cyprinella venusta)
will serve as a potential indication of fish host presence.
(3) Critical habitat does not include manmade structures (such as
buildings, aqueducts, runways, dams, roads, and other paved areas) and
the land on which they are located existing within the legal boundaries
on November 9, 2012, with the exception of the impoundments created by
Point A and Gantt Lake dams (impounded water, not the actual dam
structures).
(4) Critical habitat map units. Data layers defining map units were
created with USGS National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) GIS data. The
1:100,000 river reach (route) files were used to calculate river
kilometers and miles. ESRIs ArcGIS 9.3.1 software was used to determine
longitude and latitude coordinates using decimal degrees. The projection
used in mapping all units was Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM), NAD
83, Zone 16 North. The following data sources were referenced to
identify features (like roads and streams) used to delineate the
upstream and downstream extents of critical habitat units: NHD data,
Washington County USFWS National Wetlands Inventory, 1999 Florida
Department of Transportation Roads Characteristics Inventory (RCI)
dataset, U.S. Census Bureau 2000 TIGER line waterbody data, ESRIs World
Street Map Service, Florida Department of Transportation General Highway
Maps, DeLorme Atlas and Gazetteers, and USGS 7.5 minute topographic
maps. The maps in this entry, as modified by any accompanying regulatory
text, establish the boundaries of the critical habitat designation. The
coordinates or plot points or both on which each map is based are
available to the public at the Service's internet site, http://
www.fws.gov/PanamaCity, http://www.regulations.gov at Docket No. FWS-R4-
ES-2011-0050, and at the field office responsible for this designation.
You may obtain field office location information by contacting one of
the Service regional offices, the addresses of which are listed at 50
CFR 2.2.

(channels that maintain lateral dimensions, longitudinal profiles, and
sinuosity patterns over time without an aggrading or degrading bed
elevation).
(ii) A hydrologic flow regime (the magnitude, frequency, duration,
and seasonality of discharge over time) necessary to maintain benthic
habitats where the species is found. Unless other information becomes
available, existing conditions at locations where the species occurs
will be considered as minimal flow requirements for survival.
(iii) Water quality (including temperature, pH, hardness, turbidity,
oxygen content, and chemical constituents) that meets or exceeds the
current aquatic life criteria established under the Clean Water Act (33
U.S.C. 1251-1387).

(1) Critical habitat units are depicted for Appling, Ben Hill,
Coffee, Jeff Davis, Long, Montgomery, Tattnall, Telfair, Toombs, Wayne,
and Wheeler Counties, Georgia, on the maps below.
(2) The primary constituent elements (PCEs) of critical habitat for
the Altamaha spinymussel are the habitat components that provide:
(i) Geomorphically stable river channels and banks (channels that
maintain lateral
[[Page 222]]
dimensions, longitudinal profiles, and sinuosity patterns over time
without an aggrading or degrading bed elevation) with stable sandbar,
slough, and mid-channel-island habitats of coarse-to-fine sand
substrates with low to moderate amounts of fine sediment and attached
filamentous algae.
(ii) A hydrologic flow regime (the magnitude, frequency, duration,
and seasonality of discharge over time) necessary to maintain benthic
habitats where the species are found and to maintain connectivity of
rivers with the floodplain, allowing the exchange of nutrients and
sediment for sand bar maintenance, food availability, and spawning
habitat for native fishes.
(iii) Water quality necessary for normal behavior, growth, and
viability of all life stages, including specifically temperature (less
than 32.6 [deg]C (90.68 [deg]) with less than 2 [deg]C (3.6 [deg]F)

(77 [deg]F)), and other chemical characteristics.
(iv) The presence of fish hosts (currently unknown) necessary for
recruitment of the Altamaha spinymussel. The continued occurrence of
diverse native fish assemblages currently occurring in the basin will
serve as an indication of host fish presence until appropriate host
fishes can be identified for the Altamaha spinymussel.
(3) Critical habitat does not include manmade structures existing on
the effective date of this rule and not containing one or more of the
PCEs, such as buildings, bridges, aqueducts, airports, and roads, and

Fluted Kidneyshell (Ptychobranchus subtentus)
(1) Critical habitat units are depicted on the maps below for
Limestone County, Alabama; Jackson, Laurel, McCreary, Pulaski,
Rockcastle, and Wayne Counties, Kentucky; Bedford, Claiborne, Cocke,
Fentress, Franklin, Giles, Grainger, Greene, Hamblen, Hancock, Hickman,
Humphreys, Jefferson, Knox, Lincoln, Marshall, Maury, Moore, Morgan,
Overton, Perry, Pickett, Polk, Scott, and Sevier Counties, Tennessee;
and Bland, Lee, Russell, Scott, Smyth, Tazewell, Washington, and Wythe
Counties, Virginia.
(2) Within these areas, the primary constituent elements of the
physical or biological features essential to the conservation of fluted
kidneyshell consist of five components:
(i) Riffle habitats within large, geomorphically stable stream
channels (channels that maintain lateral dimensions, longitudinal
profiles, and sinuosity patterns over time without an aggrading or
degrading bed elevation).
(ii) Stable substrates of sand, gravel, and cobble with low to
moderate amounts of fine sediment and containing flow refugia with low
shear stress.
(iii) A natural hydrologic flow regime (magnitude, frequency,
duration, and seasonality of discharge over time) necessary to maintain
benthic habitats where the species is found, and connectivity of rivers
with the floodplain, allowing the exchange of nutrients and sediment for
habitat maintenance, food availability for all life stages, and spawning
habitat for native fishes.
(iv) Water quality with low levels of pollutants and including a
natural temperature regime, pH (between 6.0 to 8.5), oxygen content (not
less than 5.0 milligrams/liter), hardness, and turbidity necessary for
normal behavior, growth, and viability of all life stages.
(v) The presence of abundant fish hosts, which may include the
barcheek darter, fantail darter, rainbow darter, redline darter,
bluebreast darter, dusky darter and banded sculpin, necessary for
recruitment of the fluted kidneyshell.
(3) Critical habitat does not include manmade structures (such as
buildings, aqueducts, dams, roads, and other paved areas) and the land
on which they are located existing within the legal boundaries on
October 28, 2013.
(4) Critical habitat map units. Data layers defining map units were
created with USGS National Hydrography Dataset (NHD+) GIS
data. The 1:100,000 river reach (route) files were used to calculate
river kilometers and miles. ESRIs ArcGIS 10.0 software was used to
determine longitude and latitude coordinates using decimal degrees. The
projection used in mapping all units was USA Contiguous Albers Equal
Area Conic USGS version, NAD 83, meters. The following data sources were
referenced to identify features (like roads and streams) used to
delineate the upstream and downstream extents of critical
[[Page 227]]
habitat units: NHD+ flowline and waterbody data, 2011 Navteq
roads data, USA Topo ESRI online basemap service, DeLorme Atlas and
Gazetteers, and USGS 7.5 minute topographic maps. The maps in this
entry, as modified by any accompanying regulatory text, establish the
boundaries of the critical habitat designation. The coordinates or plot
points or both on which each map is based are available to the public at
the field office Internet site (http://www.fws.gov/cookeville), at
http://www.regulations.gov at Docket No. FWS-R4-ES-2013-0026, and at the

Neosho Mucket (Lampsilis rafinesqueana)
(1) Critical habitat units are depicted for the Neosho mucket on the
maps below in the following Counties:
(i) Benton and Washington Counties, Arkansas;
(ii) Allen, Cherokee, Coffey, Elk, Greenwood, Labette, Montgomery,
Neosho, Wilson, and Woodson Counties, Kansas;
[[Page 280]]
(iii) Jasper, Lawrence, McDonald, and Newton Counties, Missouri; and
(iv) Adair, Cherokee, and Delaware Counties, Oklahoma.
(2) Within these areas, the primary constituent elements of the
physical or biological features essential to the conservation of the
Neosho mucket consist of five components:
(i) Geomorphically stable river channels and banks (channels that
maintain lateral dimensions, longitudinal profiles, and sinuosity
patterns over time without an aggrading or degrading bed elevation) with
habitats that support a diversity of freshwater mussel and native fish
(such as stable riffles, sometimes with runs, and mid-channel island
habitats that provide flow refuges consisting of gravel and sand
substrates with low to moderate amounts of fine sediment and attached
filamentous algae).
(ii) A hydrologic flow regime (the severity, frequency, duration,
and seasonality of discharge over time) necessary to maintain benthic
habitats where the species are found and to maintain connectivity of
rivers with the floodplain, allowing the exchange of nutrients and
sediment for maintenance of the mussel's and fish host's habitat, food
availability, spawning habitat for native fishes, and the ability for
newly transformed juveniles to settle and become established in their
habitats.
(iii) Water and sediment quality (including, but not limited to,
conductivity, hardness, turbidity, temperature, pH, ammonia, heavy
metals, and chemical constituents) necessary to sustain natural
physiological processes for normal behavior, growth, and viability of
all life stages.
(iv) The occurrence of natural fish assemblages, reflected by fish
species richness, relative abundance, and community composition, for
each inhabited river or creek that will serve as an indication of
appropriate presence and abundance of fish hosts necessary for
recruitment of the Neosho mucket. Suitable fish hosts for Neosho mucket
glochidia include smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu), largemouth
bass (Micropterus salmoides), and spotted bass (Micropterus
punctulatus).
(v) Competitive or predaceous invasive (nonnative) species in
quantities low enough to have minimal effect on survival of freshwater
mussels.
(3) Critical habitat does not include manmade structures (such as
dams, piers and docks, bridges, or other similar structures) within the
legal boundaries on June 1, 2015.
(4) Critical habitat map units. Data layers defining map units were
developed using ESRI ArcGIS mapping software along with various spatial
data layers. Critical habitat unit upstream and downstream limits were
delineated at the nearest road crossing or stream confluence of each
occupied reach. Data layers defining map units were created with U.S.
Geological Survey National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) Medium Flowline
data. ArcGIS was also used to calculate river kilometers (rkm) and river
miles (rmi) from the NHD dataset, and it was used to determine longitude
and latitude coordinates in decimal degrees. The projection used in
mapping and calculating distances and locations within the units was
North American Albers Equal Area Conic, NAD 83. The maps in this entry,
as modified by any accompanying regulatory text, establish the
boundaries of the critical habitat designation. The coordinates, plot
points, or both on which each map is based are available to the public
at the Service's Internet site (http://www.fws.gov/arkansas-es/
te_listing.html), the Federal eRulemaking Portal (http://
www.regulations.gov at Docket No. FWS-R4-ES-2013-0007), and at the field
office responsible for this designation. You may obtain field office
location information by contacting one of the Service regional offices,

Atlantic Pigtoe (Fusconaia masoni)
(1) Critical habitat units are depicted for Bath, Botetourt,
Brunswick, Craig, Dinwiddie, Greensville, Halifax, Lunenburg,
Mecklenburg, Nottoway, Pittsylvania, and Sussex Counties in Virginia,
and Durham, Edgecombe, Franklin, Granville, Halifax, Johnston,
Montgomery, Nash, Orange, Person, Pitt, Randolph, Rockingham, Vance,
Wake, Warren, and Wilson Counties in North Carolina, on the maps in this
entry.
(2) Within these areas, the physical or biological features
essential to the conservation of Atlantic pigtoe consist of the
following components:
(i) Suitable substrates and connected instream habitats,
characterized by
[[Page 325]]
geomorphically stable stream channels and banks (i.e., channels that
maintain lateral dimensions, longitudinal profiles, and sinuosity
patterns over time without an aggrading or degrading bed elevation) with
habitats that support a diversity of freshwater mussel and native fish
(such as stable riffle-run-pool habitats that provide flow refuges
consisting of silt-free gravel and coarse sand substrates).
(ii) Adequate flows, or a hydrologic flow regime (which includes the
severity, frequency, duration, and seasonality of discharge over time),
necessary to maintain benthic habitats where the species is found and to
maintain connectivity of streams with the floodplain, allowing the
exchange of nutrients and sediment for maintenance of the mussel's and
fish hosts' habitat, food availability, spawning habitat for native
fishes, and the ability for newly transformed juveniles to settle and
become established in their habitats.
(iii) Water and sediment quality (including, but not limited to,
conductivity, hardness, turbidity, temperature, pH, ammonia, heavy
metals, and chemical constituents) necessary to sustain natural
physiological processes for normal behavior, growth, and viability of
all life stages.
(iv) The presence and abundance of fish hosts necessary for
recruitment of the Atlantic pigtoe.
(3) Critical habitat does not include manmade structures (such as
buildings, aqueducts, runways, roads, and other paved areas) and the
land on which they are located existing within the legal boundaries on
December 16, 2021.
(4) Data layers defining map units were created by overlaying
Natural Heritage Element Occurrence data and U.S. Geological Survey
(USGS) hydrologic data for stream reaches. The hydrologic data used in
the critical habitat maps were extracted from the USGS 1:1M scale
nationwide hydrologic layer (https://nationalmap.gov/small_scale/mld/
1nethyd.html) with a projection of EPSG:4269-North American Datum of
1983 (NAD83) Geographic. The North Carolina and Virginia Natural
Heritage program species presence data and the Virginia Department of
Wildlife Resources species data were used to select specific stream
segments for inclusion in the critical habitat layer. The maps in this
entry, as modified by any accompanying regulatory text, establish the
boundaries of the critical habitat designation. The coordinates or plot
points on which each map is based are available to the public at http://
www.regulations.gov under Docket No. FWS-R4-ES-2018-0046 and at the
field office responsible for this designation. You may obtain field
office location information by contacting one of the Service regional

Tumbling Creek Cavesnail (Antrobia culveri)
(1) The critical habitat unit is depicted for Taney County,
Missouri, on the map at paragraph (f)(5)(ii) of this section. The maps
provided are for informational purposes only.
(2) Within this area, the primary constituent elements of the
physical and biological features essential to the conservation of the
Tumbling Creek cavesnail consist of five components:
(i) Geomorphically stable stream bottoms and banks (stable
horizontal dimension and vertical profile) in order to:
(A) Maintain bottom features (riffles, runs, and pools) and
transition zones between bottom features;
(B) Continue appropriate habitat to maintain essential riffles,
runs, and pools; and
(C) Promote connectivity between Tumbling Creek and its tributaries
and associated springs to maintain gene flow throughout the population.
(ii) Instream flow regime with an average daily discharge between
0.07 and 150 cubic feet per second (cfs), inclusive of both surface
runoff and groundwater sources (springs and seepages).
(iii) Water quality with temperature 55-62 [deg]F (12.78-16.67
[deg]C), dissolved oxygen 4.5 milligrams or greater per liter, and
turbidity of an average monthly reading of no more than 200
Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU; units used to measure sediment
discharge) for a duration not to exceed 4 hours.
(iv) Bottom substrates consisting of fine gravel with coarse gravel
or cobble, or bedrock with sand and gravel, with low amounts of fine
sand and sediments within the interstitial spaces of the substrates.
(v) Energy input from guano that originates mainly from gray bats
(Myotis grisescens) that roost in the cave; guano is essential in the
development of biofilm (the organic coating and bacterial layer that
covers rocks in the cave stream) that cavesnails use for food.
(3) Critical habitat does not include manmade structures (such as
buildings, aqueducts, runways, roads, and other paved areas) and the
land on which they are located existing within the legal boundaries on
the effective date of this rule.
(4) Critical habitat map unit. Data layers defining the map unit
were created using 7.5[min]

Rough Hornsnail (Pleurocera foremani)
(1) Critical habitat units are depicted for Elmore and Shelby
Counties, Alabama, on the maps below.
(2) The primary constituent elements (PCEs) of critical habitat for
the rough hornsnail are the habitat components that provide:
(i) Geomorphically stable stream and river channels and banks
(channels that maintain lateral dimensions, longitudinal profiles, and
sinuosity patterns over time without an aggrading or degrading bed
elevation).
(ii) A hydrologic flow regime (the magnitude, frequency, duration,
and seasonality of discharge over time) necessary to maintain benthic
habitats where the species is found. Unless other information becomes
available, existing conditions at locations where the species occurs
will be considered as minimal flow requirements for survival.
(iii) Water quality (including temperature, pH, hardness, turbidity,
oxygen content, and chemical constituents) that meets or exceeds the
current aquatic life criteria established under the Clean Water Act (33
U.S.C. 1251-1387).
(iv) Sand, gravel, cobble, boulder, bedrock, or mud substrates with
low to moderate amounts of fine sediment and attached filamentous algae.
(3) Critical habitat does not include manmade structures existing on
the effective date of this rule and not containing one or more of the
primary constituent elements, such as buildings, bridges, aqueducts,
airports, and roads, and the land on which such structures are located.

the Newcomb's snail are those habitat components that are essential for
the biological needs of foraging, sheltering, reproduction, and
dispersal. The primary constituent elements are: cool, clean, moderate-
to fast-flowing water in streams, springs, and seeps; their adjacent
riparian areas and hydrogeologic features that capture and direct water
flow to these spring and stream systems; a perennial flow of water
throughout even the most severe drought conditions; and stream channel
morphology that provides protection from channel scour by having
overhanging waterfalls, protected tributaries, or similar refugia.
(3) Existing human-made features and structures within the
boundaries of the mapped units, such as dams, ditches, tunnels, flumes,
and other human-made features that do not contain the primary
constituent elements, are not included as critical habitat.

(1) Critical habitat units are depicted for Cochise County, Arizona,
on the map in paragraph (5) of this entry.
[[Page 381]]
(2) Within these areas, the primary constituent elements of the
physical or biological features essential to the conservation of the San
Bernardino springsnail consist of four components:
(i) Adequately clean spring water (free from contamination) emerging
from the ground and flowing on the surface;
(ii) Periphyton (attached algae), bacteria, and decaying organic
material for food;
(iii) Substrates that include cobble, gravel, pebble, sand, silt,
and aquatic vegetation, for egg laying, maturing, feeding, and escape

competitors (snails) or their presence at low population levels.
(3) Critical habitat does not include manmade structures other than
the road culvert and concrete spring-boxes, which are included to
protect the water flowing within them.
(4) Critical habitat map units. Data layers defining map units were
plotted on 2007 USGS Digital Ortho Quarter Quad maps using Universal
Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates in ArcMap. Because of the small

(6) Snail Spring Unit contains approximately 0.457 ha (1.129 ac) in
Cochise County, Arizona. This critical habitat unit is a spring
approximately 5 m (16 ft) in diameter and has a spring run that goes
south from the spring approximately 23.5 m (77 ft) to a manmade ditch,
which runs 10.2 m (33.5 ft) to a dirt road. It passes under the road in
a 3.5 m (11.5 ft) culvert, then flows approximately 17 m (56 ft) below
the road. The culvert beneath the road is included in critical habitat,
but not the road itself. We include a 1-m (3.3-ft)
[[Page 383]]
upland area on each side of the spring, spring run, and ditch. The
critical habitat unit is the spring, spring run, ditch, and buffer
within the 76-m (249-ft) diameter circle centered on UTM coordinate
663858, 3468182 in Zone 12 with the units in meters using North American
Datum of 1983 (NAD 83).
(7) Goat Tank Spring Unit contains approximately 0.002 ha (0.005 ac)
in Cochise County, Arizona. The unit is a spring contained entirely
within a square concrete box approximately 0.61 by 0.91 m (2 by 3 ft)
and spring seepage emanating from the base of a cottonwood tree about 2
m (7 ft) from the spring-box. This unit includes a 1-m (3.3-ft) upland
area on each side of the spring box and spring. The critical habitat is
the spring-box, spring seepage, and buffer within the 5-m (16.4-ft)
diameter circle centered on UTM coordinate 663725, 3468162 in Zone 12
with the units in meters using North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83).
(8) Horse Spring Unit contains approximately 0.032 ha (0.078 ac) in
Cochise County, Arizona. The unit is a spring and springrun
approximately 0.5 m (1.6 ft) wide and 15.5 m (50.9 ft) in length. We
include a 1-m (3.3-ft) upland area on each side of the springhead and
spring-run. The designated critical habitat unit is the spring-box,
spring seepage, and buffer within the 20-m (66-ft) diameter circle
centered on UTM coordinate 663772, 3468091 in Zone 12 with the units in
meters using North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83).
(9) Tule Spring Unit contains approximately 0.324 ha (0.801 ac) in

contour.
2. Within these areas, the primary constituent elements include:
(i) Fraser fir or fir-dominated spruce-fir forests at and above
1,646 m (5,400 ft) in elevation; and
[[Page 419]]
(ii) Moderately thick and humid, but not wet, moss (species in the
genus Dicranodontium, and possibly Polytrichum) and/or liverwort mats on
rock surfaces that are adequately sheltered from the sun and rain (by
overhang and aspect) and include a thin layer of humid soil and/or humus
between the moss and rock surface.
3. Existing human structures and other features not containing all
of the primary constituent elements are not considered critical habitat.
(h) Crustaceans.
Diminutive amphipod (Gammarus hyalleloides)
(1) Critical habitat units are depicted for Jeff Davis County and
Reeves County, Texas, on the maps below.
(2) Within these areas, the primary constituent elements of the
physical or biological features essential to the conservation of
diminutive amphipod are springs and spring-fed aquatic systems that
contain:
(i) Permanent, flowing, unpolluted water (free from contamination)
emerging from the ground and flowing on the surface;
(ii) Water temperatures that vary between 11 and 27 [deg]C (52 to 81
[deg]F) with natural seasonal and diurnal variations slightly above and
below that range;
(iii) Substrates that include cobble, gravel, pebble, sand, silt,
and aquatic vegetation, for breeding, maturing, feeding, and escape from
predators;
(iv) Abundant food, consisting of algae, bacteria, decaying organic
material, and submergent vegetation that contributes the necessary
nutrients, detritus, and bacteria on which these species forage; and
(v) Either an absence of nonnative predators and competitors or
nonnative predators and competitors at low population levels.
(3) Critical habitat does not include manmade structures (such as
buildings, aqueducts, well pads, roads, and other paved areas) and the
land on which they are located existing within the legal boundaries on
August 8, 2013.
(4) Critical habitat map units. Data layers defining map units were
created on 2010 aerial photography from U.S. Department of Agriculture,
National Agriculture Imagery Program base maps using ArcMap
(Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc.), a computer geographic
information system (GIS) program. The maps in this entry, as modified by
any accompanying regulatory text, establish the boundaries of the
critical habitat designation. The coordinates or plot points or both on
which each map is based are available to the on the internet at http://
www.regulations.gov at Docket No. FWS-R2-ES-2013-0004 and at the field
office responsible for this designation. You may obtain field office
location information by contacting one of the Service regional offices,
the addresses of which are listed at 50 CFR 2.2.

Kauai Cave Amphipod (Spelaeorchestia koloana)
(1) Critical habitat units are depicted for the island of Kauai,
Hawaii, on the maps below. The maps provided are for informational
purposes only.
(2) The primary constituent elements for the Kauai cave amphipod
are:
(i) The presence of subterranean spaces from 5 mm to 25 cm (0.2 in
to 10 in) at their narrowest point (collectively termed ``mesocaverns'')
and/or cave passages greater than 25 cm (10 in);
[[Page 423]]
(ii) Dark and/or stagnant air zones that maintain relative humidity
at saturation levels (=100 percent); and
(iii) The presence in these types of mesocaverns or caves of roots
from living, nontoxic plants such as, but not limited to, ohia
(Metrosideros polymorpha), maiapilo (Capparis sandwichiana), and aalii
(Dodonea viscosa).
(3) All critical habitat areas contain one or more of the primary
constituent elements for the Kauai cave amphipod.
(4)(i) Existing human-constructed features and structures within the
boundaries of mapped units that involved trenching, filling, or
excavation resulting in below-surface modification or alteration would
not contain either of the primary constituent elements and are excluded
from critical habitat designation. Such features and structures include
but are not limited to: Homes and buildings for which the underlying
bedrock has been altered for their construction or through incorporation
of or connection to buried structural foundations, septic tanks, city
sewage and drainage systems, or water or underground electrical supply
corridors; paved roads; and areas previously or currently used as a
quarry.
(ii) Areas that have been modified on the surface but without
trenching, filling, or excavation resulting in below-surface
modification or alteration are included in the critical habitat
designation, even if they are adjacent to areas that have undergone
below-surface modification.
(5) Critical habitat units are described below. Coordinates in UTM
Zone 4 with units in meters using North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83).
The following map shows the general locations of the 14 critical habitat
units designated on the island of Kauai.

Noel's amphipod (Gammarus desperatus)
(1) Critical habitat units are depicted for Chaves County, New
Mexico, on the maps below.
(2) The primary constituent element of critical habitat for Noel's
amphipod is springs and spring-fed wetland systems that:
(i) Have permanent, flowing water with no or no more than low levels
of pollutants;
[[Page 433]]
(ii) Have slow to moderate water velocities;
(iii) Have substrates including limestone cobble and aquatic
vegetation;
(iv) Have stable water levels with natural diurnal (daily) and
seasonal variations;
(v) Consist of fresh to moderately saline water;
(vi) Have minimal sedimentation;
(vii) Vary in temperature between 50-68 [deg]F (10-20 [deg]C) with
natural seasonal and diurnal variations slightly above and below that
range; and
(viii) Provide abundant food, consisting of:
(A) Submergent vegetation and decaying organic matter;
(B) A surface film of algae, diatoms, bacteria, and fungi; and
(C) Microbial foods, such as algae and bacteria, associated with
aquatic plants, algae, bacteria, and decaying organic material.
(3) Critical habitat does not include manmade structures (such as
buildings, aqueducts, runways, roads, and other paved areas) and the
land on which they are located existing within the legal boundaries on
the effective date of this rule.
(4) Critical habitat map units. Data layers defining map units were
created on a base of USGS 1:24,000 maps, and critical habitat units were
then mapped using Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates.

(1) Critical habitat units are depicted for this species in Comal
County, Texas, on the maps below.
(2) Within these areas, the primary constituent elements of the
physical or biological features essential to the conservation of Peck's
cave amphipod consist of these components:
(i) Springs, associated streams, and underground spaces immediately
inside of or adjacent to springs, seeps, and upwellings that include:
[[Page 436]]
(A) High-quality water with no or minimal pollutant levels of soaps,
detergents, heavy metals, pesticides, fertilizer nutrients, petroleum
hydrocarbons, and semivolatile compounds such as industrial cleaning
agents; and
(B) Hydrologic regimes similar to the historical pattern of the
specific sites, with continuous surface flow from the spring sites and
in the subterranean aquifer;
(ii) Spring system water temperatures that range from approximately
68 to 75 [deg]F (20 to 24 [deg]C); and
(iii) Food supply that includes, but is not limited to, detritus
(decomposed materials), leaf litter, living plant material, algae,
fungi, bacteria, other microorganisms, and decaying roots.
(3) Critical habitat does not include manmade structures (such as
buildings, aqueducts, runways, roads, and other paved areas) and the
land on which they are located existing on the surface within the legal
boundaries on November 22, 2013.
(4) Critical habitat map units. Data layers defining map units were
created using geographic information systems (GIS), which included

(1) The critical habitat unit is depicted for Pecos County, Texas,
on the map below.
(2) Within this area, the primary constituent elements of the
physical or biological features essential to the conservation of Pecos
amphipod are springs and spring-fed aquatic systems that contain:
[[Page 440]]
(i) Permanent, flowing, unpolluted water (free from contamination)
emerging from the ground and flowing on the surface;
(ii) Water temperatures that vary between 11 and 27 [deg]C (52 to 81
[deg]F) with natural seasonal and diurnal variations slightly above and
below that range;
(iii) Substrates that include cobble, gravel, pebble, sand, silt,
and aquatic vegetation, for breeding, maturing, feeding, and escape from
predators;
(iv) Abundant food, consisting of algae, bacteria, decaying organic
material, and submergent vegetation that contributes the necessary
nutrients, detritus, and bacteria on which these species forage; and
(v) Either an absence of nonnative predators and competitors or
nonnative predators and competitors at low population levels.
(3) Critical habitat does not include manmade structures (such as
buildings, aqueducts, oil and gas well pads, roads, and other paved
areas) and the land on which they are located existing within the legal
boundaries on the effective date of this rule.
(4) Critical habitat map units. Data layers defining map units were
created on 2010 aerial photography from U.S. Department of Agriculture,
National Agriculture Imagery Program base maps using ArcMap
(Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc.), a computer geographic
information system (GIS) program. The maps in this entry, as modified by
any accompanying regulatory text, establish the boundaries of the
critical habitat designation. The coordinates or plot points or both on
which each map is based are available to the public on the internet at
http://www.regulations.gov at Docket No. FWS-R2-ES-2013-0004 and at the
field office responsible for this designation. You may obtain field

Big Creek Crayfish (Faxonius peruncus)
(1) The critical habitat unit is depicted for Iron, Madison, St.
Francois, Washington, and Wayne Counties in Missouri, on the map in this
entry.
(2) Within the critical habitat unit, the physical or biological
features essential to the conservation of the Big Creek crayfish consist
of the following components:
(i) Stream flow velocity generally between 0 and 1.1 feet per second
(ft/s) (0 and 0.35 meters per second (m/s)).
[[Page 442]]
(ii) Stream depths generally between 0.2 and 1.6 feet (0.06 and 0.49
meters).
(iii) Water temperatures between 34 and 84 [deg]F (1.1 and 28.9
[deg]C).
(iv) Adequately low stream embeddedness so that spaces under rocks
and cavities in gravel remain available to the Big Creek crayfish.
(v) An available forage and prey base consisting of invertebrates,
periphyton, and plant detritus.
(vi) Connectivity among occupied stream reaches of the Big Creek
crayfish (both within and among occupied subwatersheds).
(vii) Adequately low ratios or densities of nonnative species that
allow for maintaining populations of the Big Creek crayfish.
(3) Critical habitat does not include manmade structures (such as
buildings, aqueducts, runways, roads, and other paved areas) and the
land on which they are located existing within the legal boundaries on
May 30, 2023.
(4) The National Hydrography Dataset Plus (NHDPlus) was the
geospatial data used to delineate critical habitat. NHDPlus is a
national geospatial surface water framework that integrates the National
Hydrography Dataset with the National Elevation Dataset and the
Watershed Boundary Dataset. NHDPlus uses medium resolution (1:100,000-
scale) data with a geographic projection and NAD83 datum. Critical
habitat was delineated by including all streams within subwatersheds (at
the 12-digit hydrologic unit level) occupied by the Big Creek crayfish.
Occupied watersheds were defined using data from the Missouri Department
of Conservation; the entire St. Francis River upstream of 37.091254N,
90.447212W is also considered occupied as a migratory route. The map in
this entry, as modified by any accompanying regulatory text, establishes
the boundaries of the critical habitat designation. The coordinates or
plot points or both on which the map is based are available to the
public at https://www.regulations.gov under Docket No. FWS-R3-ES-2019-
0020 and at the Missouri Ecological Services Field Office. You may
obtain field office location information by contacting one of the

Francois, Washington, and Wayne Counties in Missouri, on the map in this
entry.
(2) Within the critical habitat unit, the physical or biological
features essential to the conservation of the St. Francis River crayfish
consist of the following components:
(i) Stream flow velocity generally between 0 and 1.1 feet per second
(ft/s) (0 and 0.35 meters per second (m/s)).
(ii) Stream depths generally between 0.2 and 1.7 feet (0.06 and 0.52
meters).
(iii) Water temperatures between 34 and 84 [deg]F (1.1 and 28.9
[deg]C).
(iv) Adequately low stream embeddedness so that spaces under rocks
and cavities in gravel remain available to the St. Francis River
crayfish.
(v) An available forage and prey base consisting of invertebrates,
periphyton, and plant detritus.
(vi) Connectivity among occupied stream reaches of the St. Francis
River crayfish (both within and among occupied subwatersheds).
(vii) Adequately low ratios or densities of nonnative species that
allow for maintaining populations of the St. Francis River crayfish.
(3) Critical habitat does not include manmade structures (such as
buildings, aqueducts, runways, roads, and other paved areas) and the
land on which they are located existing within the legal boundaries on
May 30, 2023.
(4) The National Hydrography Dataset Plus (NHDPlus) was the
geospatial data used to delineate critical habitat. NHDPlus is a
national geospatial surface water framework that integrates the National
Hydrography Dataset with the National Elevation Dataset and the
Watershed Boundary Dataset. NHDPlus uses medium resolution (1:100,000-
scale) data with a geographic projection and NAD83 Datum. Critical
habitat was delineated by including all streams within subwatersheds (at
the 12-digit hydrologic unit level) occupied by the St. Francis River
crayfish. Occupied watersheds were defined using data from the Missouri
Department of Conservation; the entire St. Francis River upstream of
36.982104N, 90.335400W is also considered occupied as a migratory route.
The map in this entry, as modified by any accompanying regulatory text,
establishes the boundaries of the critical habitat designation. The

Conservancy Fairy Shrimp (Branchinecta conservatio).
(1) Critical habitat units are depicted for Butte, Colusa, Mariposa,
Merced, Solano, Stanislaus, Tehama, and Ventura Counties, California, on
the maps below.
(2) The primary constituent elements of critical habitat for
Conservancy fairy shrimp (Branchinecta conservatio) are the habitat
components that provide:
(i) Topographic features characterized by mounds and swales and
depressions within a matrix of surrounding uplands that result in
[[Page 487]]
complexes of continuously, or intermittently, flowing surface water in
the swales connecting the pools described below in paragraph (2)(ii),
providing for dispersal and promoting hydroperiods of adequate length in
the pools;
(ii) Depressional features including isolated vernal pools with
underlying restrictive soil layers that become inundated during winter
rains and that continuously hold water for a minimum of 19 days, in all
but the driest years; thereby providing adequate water for incubation,
maturation, and reproduction. As these features are inundated on a
seasonal basis, they do not promote the development of obligate wetland
vegetation habitats typical of permanently flooded emergent wetlands;
(iii) Sources of food, expected to be detritus occurring in the
pools, contributed by overland flow from the pools' watershed, or the
results of biological processes within the pools themselves, such as
single-celled bacteria, algae, and dead organic matter, to provide for
feeding; and
(iv) Structure within the pools described above in paragraph
(2)(ii), consisting of organic and inorganic materials, such as living
and dead plants from plant species adapted to seasonally inundated
environments, rocks, and other inorganic debris that may be washed,
blown, or otherwise transported into the pools, that provide shelter.
(3) Existing manmade features and structures, such as buildings,
roads, railroads, airports, runways, other paved areas, lawns, and other
urban landscaped areas do not contain one or more of the primary
constituent elements. Federal actions limited to those areas, therefore,
would not trigger a consultation under section 7 of the Act unless they
may affect the species and/or primary constituent elements in adjacent
critical habitat.

Riverside Fairy Shrimp (Streptocephalus woottoni)
(1) Unit descriptions are depicted for Ventura, Orange, and San
Diego Counties, California, on the maps below.
(2) Within these areas, the primary constituent elements of the
physical or biological features essential to the conservation of the
Riverside fairy shrimp consist of three components:
(i) Ephemeral wetland habitat consisting of vernal pools and
ephemeral habitat that have wet and dry periods appropriate for the
incubation, maturation, and reproduction of the Riverside fairy shrimp
in all but the driest of years, such that the pools:
(A) Are inundated (pond) approximately 2 to 8 months during winter
and spring, typically filled by rain, surface, and subsurface flow;
(B) Generally dry down in the late spring to summer months;
(C) May not pond every year; and
(D) Provide the suitable water chemistry characteristics to support
the Riverside fairy shrimp. These characteristics include physiochemical
factors such as alkalinity, pH, temperature, dissolved solutes,
dissolved oxygen, which can vary depending on the amount of recent
precipitation, evaporation, or oxygen saturation; time of day; season;
and type and depth of soil and subsurface layers. Vernal pool habitat
typically exhibits a range of conditions but remains within the
physiological tolerance of the species. The general ranges of conditions
include, but are not limited to:
(1) Dilute, freshwater pools with low levels of total dissolved
solids (low ion levels (sodium ion concentrations generally below 70
millimoles per liter));
(2) Low alkalinity levels (lower than 80 to 1,000 milligrams per
liter (mg/l)); and
(3) A range of pH levels from slightly acidic to neutral (typically
in range of 6.4-7.1).
(ii) Intermixed wetland and upland habitats that function as the
local watershed, including topographic features characterized by mounds,
swales, and low-lying depressions within a matrix of upland habitat that
result in intermittently flowing surface and subsurface water in swales,
drainages, and pools described in paragraph (h)(2)(i) of this entry.
Associated watersheds provide water to fill the vernal or ephemeral
pools in the winter and spring months. Associated watersheds vary in
size and therefore cannot be generalized, and they are affected by
factors including surface and underground hydrology, the topography of
the area surrounding the pool or pools, the vegetative coverage, and the
soil substrates in the area. The size of associated watersheds likely
varies from a few acres to greater than 100 ac (40 ha).
(iii) Soils that support ponding during winter and spring which are
found in areas characterized in paragraphs (h)(2)(i) and (h)(2)(ii),
respectively, of this entry, that have a clay component or other
property that creates an impermeable surface or subsurface layer. Soil
series with a clay component or an impermeable surface or subsurface
layer typically slow percolation, increase water run-off (at least
initially), and contribute to the filling and persistence of ponding of
ephemeral wetland habitat where the Riverside fairy shrimp occurs. Soils
and soil series known to support vernal pool habitat include, but are
not limited to:
(A) The Azule, Calleguas, Cropley, and Linne soils series in Ventura
County;
(B) The Alo, Balcom, Bosanko, Calleguas, Cieneba, and Myford soils
series in Orange County;
(C) The Cajalco, Claypit, Murrieta, Porterville, Ramona, Traver, and
Willows soils series in Riverside County; and
(D) The Diablo, Huerhuero, Linne, Placentia, Olivenhain, Redding,
Salinas, and Stockpen soils series in San Diego County.
(3) Critical habitat does not include manmade structures (such as
buildings, aqueducts, runways, roads, and other paved areas) and the
land on which they are located existing within the legal boundaries on
January 3, 2013.
(4) Critical habitat map units. Data layers defining map units were
created using a base of U.S. Geological Survey 7.5[min] quadrangle maps.
Unit descriptions were then mapped using Universal Transverse Mercator
(UTM) zone 11, North American Datum (NAD) 1983 coordinates. The maps in
this entry, as modified by any accompanying regulatory text, establish
the boundaries of the critical habitat designation. The coordinates or

San Diego Fairy Shrimp (Branchinecta sandiegonensis)
(1) Critical habitat units are depicted for Orange and San Diego
counties, California, on the maps below.
(2) The primary constituent elements of critical habitat for the San
Diego fairy shrimp are:
(i) Vernal pools with shallow to moderate depths (2 in (5 cm) to 12
in (30 cm)) that hold water for sufficient lengths of time (7 to 60
[[Page 507]]
days) necessary for incubation, maturation, and reproduction of the San
Diego fairy shrimp, in all but the driest years;
(ii) Topographic features characterized by mounds and swales and
depressions within a matrix of surrounding uplands that result in
complexes of continuously, or intermittently, flowing surface water in
the swales connecting the pools described in paragraph (2)(i) of this
entry, providing for dispersal and promoting hydroperiods of adequate
length in the pools (i.e., the vernal pool watershed); and
(iii) Flat to gently sloping topography, and any soil type with a
clay component and/or an impermeable surface or subsurface layer known
to support vernal pool habitat (including Carlsbad, Chesterton, Diablo,
Huerhuero, Linne, Olivenhain, Placentia, Redding, and Stockpen soils).
(3) Critical habitat does not include manmade structures (such as
buildings, aqueducts, runways, roads, and other paved areas) and the
land on which they are located existing within the legal boundaries on
the effective date of this rule.
(4) Critical habitat map units. Data layers defining map units were
created using a base of U.S. Geological Survey 7.5[min] quadrangle maps,

Vernal Pool Fairy Shrimp (Branchinecta lynchi)
(1) Critical habitat units are depicted for Jackson County, Oregon,
and Alameda, Amador, Butte, Contra Costa, Fresno, Kings, Madera,
Mariposa, Merced, Monterey, Napa, Placer, Sacramento, San Benito, San
Joaquin, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Shasta, Solano, Stanislaus,
Tehama, Tulare, Ventura, and Yuba Counties, California on the map below:
[[Page 520]]
(2) The primary constituent elements of critical habitat for vernal
pool fairy shrimp (Branchinecta lynchi) are the habitat components that
provide:
(i) Topographic features characterized by mounds and swales and
depressions within a matrix of surrounding uplands that result in
complexes of continuously, or intermittently, flowing surface water in
the swales connecting the pools described below in paragraph (2)(ii),
providing for dispersal and promoting hydroperiods of adequate length in
the pools;
(ii) Depressional features including isolated vernal pools with
underlying restrictive soil layers that become inundated during winter
rains and that continuously hold water for a minimum of 18 days, in all
but the driest years; thereby providing adequate water for incubation,
maturation, and reproduction. As these features are inundated on a
seasonal basis, they do not promote the development of obligate wetland
vegetation habitats typical of permanently flooded emergent wetlands;
(iii) Sources of food, expected to be detritus occurring in the
pools, contributed by overland flow from the pools' watershed, or the
results of biological processes within the pools themselves, such as
single-celled bacteria, algae, and dead organic matter, to provide for
feeding; and
(iv) Structure within the pools described above in paragraph
(3)(ii), consisting of organic and inorganic materials, such as living
and dead plants from plant species adapted to seasonally inundated
environments, rocks, and other inorganic debris that may be washed,
blown, or otherwise transported into the pools, that provide shelter.
(3) Existing manmade features and structures, such as buildings,
roads, railroads, airports, runways, other paved areas, lawns, and other
urban landscaped areas do not contain one or more of the primary
constituent elements. Federal actions limited to those areas, therefore,
would not trigger a consultation under section 7 of the Act unless they
may affect the species and/or primary constituent elements in adjacent
critical habitat.

Salt Creek Tiger Beetle (Cicindela nevadica lincolniana)
(1) Critical habitat units are depicted for Lancaster and Saunders
Counties, Nebraska, on the map below.
(2) Within these areas, the primary constituent elements of the
physical or biological features essential to the conservation of the
Salt Creek tiger beetle consist of saline barrens and seeps found within
saline wetland habitat in Little Salt, Rock, Oak and Haines Branch
Creeks. For our evaluation, we determined that two habitat types within
suitable wetlands are required by the Salt Creek tiger beetle:
(i) Exposed mudflats associated with saline wetlands or the exposed
banks and islands of streams and seeps that contain adequate soil
moisture and soil salinity are essential core habitats. These habitats
support egg-laying and foraging requirements. The ``Salmo'' soil series
is the only soil type that currently supports occupied habitat; however,
``Saltillo'' is the other soil series that has adequate soil moisture
and salinity and can also provide suitable habitat.
(ii) Vegetated wetlands adjacent to core habitats that provide shade
for subspecies thermoregulation, support a source of prey for adults and
larval forms of Salt Creek tiger beetles, and protect core habitats.
(3) Critical habitat does not include manmade structures (such as
buildings, aqueducts, runways, roads, and other paved areas) and the
land on which they are located existing within the legal boundaries on
June 5, 2014.
(4) Critical habitat map units. Data layers defining map units were
created using National Wetlands Inventory polygons, habitat
categorization classes, and an image object analysis. The maps in this
entry, as modified by any accompanying regulatory text, establish the
boundaries of the critical habitat designation. The coordinates or plot
points or both on which each map is based are available to the public at
the Service's Internet site at http://www.fws.gov/mountain-prairie/
species/invertebrates/saltcreektiger/, at http://www.regulations.gov at
Docket No. FWS-R6-ES-2013-0068, and at the field office responsible for
this designation. You may obtain field office location information by
contacting one of the Service regional offices, the addresses of which
are listed at 50 CFR 2.2.

Bartram's Scrub-Hairstreak Butterfly (Strymon Acis Bartrami)
(1) Critical habitat units are depicted for Miami-Dade and Monroe
Counties, Florida, on the maps below.
(2) Within these areas, the primary constituent elements of the
physical or biological features essential to the conservation of the
Bartram's scrub-hairstreak butterfly are:
(i) Areas of pine rockland habitat, and in some locations,
associated rockland hammocks and hydric pine flatwoods.
(A) Pine rockland habitat contains:
(1) Open canopy, semi-open subcanopy, and understory.
(2) Substrate of oolitic limestone rock.
(3) A plant community of predominately native vegetation.
(B) Rockland hammock habitat associated with the pine rocklands
contains:
(1) Canopy gaps and edges with an open semi-open canopy, subcanopy,
and understory.
(2) Substrate with a thin layer of highly organic soil covering
limestone or organic matter that accumulates on top of the underlying
limestone rock.
(3) A plant community of predominately native vegetation.
(C) Hydric pine flatwood habitat associated with the pine rocklands
contains:
(1) Open canopy with a sparse or absent subcanopy, and dense
understory.
(2) Substrate with a thin layer of poorly drained sands and organic
materials that accumulates on top of the underlying limestone or
calcareous rock.
(3) A plant community of predominately native vegetation.
[[Page 606]]
(ii) Competitive nonnative plant species in quantities low enough to
have minimal effect on survival of Bartram's scrub-hairstreak butterfly.
(iii) The presence of the butterfly's hostplant, pineland croton, in
sufficient abundance for larval recruitment, development, and food
resources, and for adult butterfly nectar source and reproduction;
(iv) A dynamic natural disturbance regime or one that artificially
duplicates natural ecological processes (e.g. fire, hurricanes or other
weather events, at appropriate intervals) that maintains the pine
rockland habitat and associated rockland hammock and hydric pine
flatwood plant communities.
(v) Pine rockland habitat and associated rockland hammock and hydric
pine flatwood plant communities that allow for connectivity and are
sufficient in size to sustain viable populations of Bartram's scrub
hairstreak butterfly.
(vi) Pine rockland habitat and associated rockland hammock and
hydric pine flatwood plant communities with levels of pesticide low
enough to have minimal effect on the survival of the butterfly or its
ability to occupy the habitat.
(3) Critical habitat does not include manmade structures (such as
buildings, aqueducts, runways, roads, and other paved areas) and the
land on which they are located existing within the legal boundaries on
September 11, 2014.
(4) Critical habitat map units. Data layers defining map units were
created using ESRI ArcGIS mapping software along with various spatial
data layers. ArcGIS was also used to calculate the size of habitat
areas. The projection used in mapping and calculating distances and
locations within the units was North American Albers Equal Area Conic,
NAD 83. The maps in this entry, as modified by any accompanying
regulatory text, establish the boundaries of the critical habitat
designation. The coordinates, plot points, or both on which each map is
based are available to the public at the Service's Internet site (http:/
/www.fws.gov/verobeach/), the Federal eRulemaking Portal (http://
www.regulations.gov at Docket No. FWS-R4-ES-2013-0031), and at the field
office responsible for this designation. You may obtain field office
location information by contacting one of the Service regional offices,
the addresses of which are listed at 50 CFR 2.2.

Bay Checkerspot Butterfly (Euphydryas editha bayensis)
(1) Critical habitat units are depicted for San Mateo and Santa
Clara Counties, California, on the maps below.
(2) The primary constituent elements of critical habitat for the Bay
checkerspot butterfly are the habitat components that provide:
(i) The presence of annual or perennial grasslands with little to no
overstory that provide north-south and east-west slopes
[[Page 619]]
with a tilt of more than 7 degrees for larval host plant survival during
periods of atypical weather (for example, drought). Common grassland
species include wild oats (Avena fatua), soft chess (Bromus hordeaceus),
California oatgrass (Danthonia californica), purple needlegrass
(Nassella pulchra), and Idaho fescue (Festuca idahoensis); less abundant
in these grasslands are annual and perennial forbs such as filaree
(Erodium botrys), true clovers (Trifolium sp.), dwarf plantain (Plantago
erecta), and turkey mullein (Croton setigerus). These species, with the
exception of dwarf plantain, are not required by the Bay checkerspot
butterfly, but merely are provided here as an example of species
commonly found in California grasslands.
(ii) The presence of the primary larval host plant, dwarf plantain
(Plantago erecta), and at least one of the secondary host plants, purple
owl's-clover (Castilleja densiflora) or exserted paintbrush (Castilleja
exserta), are required for reproduction, feeding, and larval
development.
(iii) The presence of adult nectar sources for feeding. Common
nectar sources include desertparsley (Lomatium spp.), California
goldfields (Lasthenia californica), tidy-tips (Layia platyglossa), sea
muilla (Muilla maritima), scytheleaf onion (Allium falcifolium), false
babystars (Linanthus androsaceus), and intermediate fiddleneck
(Amsinckia intermedia).
(iv) Soils derived from serpentinite ultramafic rock (Montara,
Climara, Henneke, Hentine, and Obispo soil series) or similar soils
(Inks, Candlestick, Los Gatos, Fagan, and Barnabe soil series) that
provide areas with fewer aggressive, nonnative plant species for larval
host plant and adult nectar plant survival and reproduction.
(v) The presence of stable holes and cracks in the soil, and surface
rock outcrops that provide shelter for the larval stage of the Bay
checkerspot butterfly during summer diapause.
(3) Critical habitat does not include manmade structures (such as
buildings, aqueducts, runways, roads, and other paved areas) and the
land on which they are located existing on the effective date of this
rule and not containing one or more of the primary constituent elements.
(4) Critical habitat map units. Data layers defining map units were
created on a base of USGS 7.5[min] quadrangles using USDA National
Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP) county-wide MrSID compressed mosaics
of 1 meter resolution and natural color aerial photography from summer
2005. Critical habitat units were then mapped using Universal Transverse
Mercator (UTM) zone 10, North American Datum (NAD) 1983 coordinates.

Florida Leafwing Butterfly (Anaea troglodyta floridalis)
(1) Critical habitat units are depicted for Miami-Dade and Monroe
Counties, Florida, on the maps below.
(2) Within these areas, the primary constituent elements of the
physical or biological features essential to the conservation of the
Florida leafwing butterfly consist of six components:
(i) Areas of pine rockland habitat, and in some locations,
associated rockland hammocks and hydric pine flatwoods.
(A) Pine rockland habitat contains:
(1) Open canopy, semi-open subcanopy, and understory.
(2) Substrate of oolitic limestone rock.
[[Page 639]]
(3) A plant community of predominately native vegetation.
(B) Rockland hammock habitat associated with pine rocklands
contains:
(1) Canopy gaps and edges with an open to semi-open canopy,
subcanopy, and understory.
(2) Substrate with a thin layer of highly organic soil covering
limestone or organic matter that accumulates on top of the underlying
limestone rock.
(3) A plant community of predominately native vegetation.
(C) Hydric pine flatwood habitat associated with pine rocklands
contains:
(1) Open canopy with a sparse or absent subcanopy, and dense
understory.
(2) Substrate with a thin layer of poorly drained sands and organic
materials that accumulates on top of the underlying limestone or
calcareous rock.
(3) A plant community of predominately native vegetation.
(ii) Competitive nonnative plant species in quantities low enough to
have minimal effect on survival of the Florida leafwing butterfly.
(iii) The presence of the butterfly's hostplant, pineland croton, in
sufficient abundance for larval recruitment, development, and food
resources, and for adult butterfly roosting habitat and reproduction.
(iv) A dynamic natural disturbance regime or one that artificially
duplicates natural ecological processes (e.g., fire, hurricanes or other
weather events, at appropriate intervals) that maintains the pine
rockland habitat and associated rockland hammock and hydric pine
flatwood plant communities.
(v) Pine rockland habitat and associated rockland hammock and hydric
pine flatwood plant communities sufficient in size to sustain viable
Florida leafwing populations.
(vi) Pine rockland habitat and associated rockland hammock and
hydric pine flatwood plant communities with levels of pesticide low
enough to have minimal effect on the survival of the butterfly or its
ability to occupy the habitat.
(3) Critical habitat does not include manmade structures (such as
buildings, aqueducts, runways, roads, and other paved areas) and the
land on which they are located existing within the legal boundaries on
September 11, 2014.
(4) Critical habitat map units. Data layers defining map units were
created using ESRI ArcGIS mapping software along with various spatial
data layers. ArcGIS was also used to calculate the size of habitat
areas. The projection used in mapping and calculating distances and
locations within the units was North American Albers Equal Area Conic,
NAD 83. The maps in this entry, as modified by any accompanying

(i) Open, primarily treeless areas with short-statured forb- and
grass-dominated vegetation that include diverse topographic features
such as ridgelines, hills, and bluffs for patrolling, dispersal
corridors between habitat patches, and some south-facing terrain. Areas
must be large enough to allow for the development of patchy-population
dynamics, allowing for multiple small populations to establish within
the area.
(ii) Low- to medium-density larval host plants, with both flower
buds and blooms on them between the months of May through July, for egg-
laying and larval development. Larval host plants may be any of the
following: Brassica rapa, Sisymbrium altissimum, or Lepidium virginicum.
(iii) Adult nectar resources in flower and short-statured, white-
flowering plants in bloom used for mate-finding, which may include, but
are not limited to, Abronia latifolia (yellow sand verbena), Achillea
millefolium (yarrow), Amsinckia menziesii (small-flowered fiddleneck),
Cakile edentula (American sea rocket), Cerastium arvense (field
chickweed), Erodium cicutarium (common stork's bill), Geranium molle
(dovefoot geranium), Hypochaeris radicata (hairy cat's ear), Lomatium
utriculatum (common lomatium), Lupinus littoralis (seashore lupine),
Myosotis discolor (common forget-me-not), Ranunculus californicus
(California buttercup), Rubus ursinus (trailing blackberry), Taraxacum
officinale (dandelion), Toxicoscordion venenosum (death camas, formerly
known as Zigadenus venenosus), and Triteleia grandiflora (Howell's
brodiaea, formerly Brodiaea howellii).
(iv) Areas of undisturbed vegetation surrounding larval host plants
sufficient to provide secure sites for diapause and pupation. The
vegetation surrounding larval host plants must be left standing for a
sufficient period of time for the island marble butterfly to complete
its life cycle.

(ft)) and 3,500 m (11,500 ft) elevation with openings or where
disturbance provides openings in the canopy that
[[Page 655]]
have no more than 50 percent tree cover (allowing sunlight to reach the
ground); widely spaced, low (less than 15 centimeters (cm) (0.5 ft) in
height) forbs and grasses; and exposed soil and rock substrates. When
taller grass and forb plants greater than or equal to 15 cm (0.5 ft) in
height are present, the density is less than five per square meter
(m\2\) (50 per square foot (ft\2\)).
(ii) The presence of one or more species of host plants required by
larvae of the Mount Charleston blue butterfly for feeding and growth.
Known larval host plants are Astragalus calycosus var. calycosus,
Oxytropis oreophila var. oreophila, and Astragalus platytropis.
Densities of host plants must be greater than two per m\2\ (0.2 per
ft\2\).
(iii) The presence of one or more species of nectar plants required
by adult Mount Charleston blue butterflies for reproduction, feeding,
and growth. Common nectar plants include Erigeron clokeyi, Hymenoxys
lemmonii, Hymenoxys cooperi, and Eriogonum umbellatum var. versicolor.
Densities of nectar plants must occur at more than two per m\2\ (0.2 per
ft\2\) for smaller plants, such as E. clokeyi, and more than 0.1 per
m\2\ (0.01 per ft\2\) for larger and taller plants, such as Hymenoxys
sp. and E. umbellatum. Nectar plants typically occur within 10 m (33 ft)
of larval host plants and, in combination, provide nectar during the
adult flight period between mid-July and early August. Additional nectar
sources that could be present in combination with the common nectar
plants include Antennaria rosea, Cryptantha sp., Ericameria nauseosa
ssp., Erigeron flagellaris, Guitierrezia sarothrae, Monardella
odoratissima, Petradoria pumila var. pumila, and Potentilla concinna
var. concinna.
(3) Critical habitat does not include manmade structures (such as
buildings, aqueducts, runways, roads, and other paved areas) and the
land on which they are located existing within the legal boundaries on
July 30, 2015.
(4) Critical habitat map units. Data layers defining map units were
created on a base of Bureau of Land Management Public Land Survey System
quarter-quarter sections. Critical habitat units were then mapped using
Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) Zone 11 North, North American Datum
(NAD) 1983 coordinates. The map in this entry, as modified by any
accompanying regulatory text, establishes the boundaries of the critical
habitat designation. The coordinates or plot points or both on which the
map is based are available to the public at the Service's Internet site
at http://www.fws.gov/nevada/nv_species/mcb_butterfly.html, at http://
www.regulations.gov at Docket No. FWS-R8-ES-2013-0105, and at the field
office responsible for this designation. You may obtain field office
location information by contacting one of the Service regional offices,
the addresses of which are listed at 50 CFR 2.2.

Taylor's Checkerspot Butterfly (Euphydryas editha taylori)
(1) Critical habitat units are depicted for Island, Clallam, and
Thurston Counties in Washington, and in Benton County in Oregon, on the
maps below.
[[Page 675]]
(2) Within these areas, the primary constituent elements of the
physical or biological features essential to the conservation of the
Taylor's checkerspot butterfly consist of four components:
(i) Patches of early seral, short-statured, perennial bunchgrass
plant communities composed of native grass and forb species in a diverse
topographic landscape ranging in size from less than 1 ac up to 100 ac
(0.4 to 40 ha) with little or no overstory forest vegetation that have
areas of bare soil for basking that contain:
(A) In Washington and Oregon, common bunchgrass species found on
northwest grasslands include Festuca roemeri (Roemer's fescue),
Danthonia californica (California oat grass), Koeleria cristata (prairie
Junegrass), Elymus glaucus (blue wild rye), Agrostis scabra (rough
bentgrass), and on cooler, high-elevation sites typical of coastal
bluffs and balds, Festuca rubra (red fescue).
(B) On moist grasslands found near the coast and in the Willamette
Valley, there may be Bromus sitchensis (Sitka brome) and Deschampsia
cespitosa (tufted hairgrass) in the mix of prairie grasses. Less
abundant forbs found on the grasslands include, but are not limited to,
Trifolium spp. (true clovers), narrow-leaved plantain (Plantago
lanceolata), harsh paintbrush (Castilleja hispida), Puget balsamroot
(Balsamorhiza deltoidea), woolly sunshine (Eriophyllum lanatum), nine-
leaved desert parsley (Lomatium triternatum), fine-leaved desert parsley
(Lomatium utriculatum), common camas (Camassia quamash), showy fleabane
(Erigeron speciosus), Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense), common yarrow
(Achillea millefolium), prairie lupine (Lupinus lepidus), and sickle-
keeled lupine (Lupinus albicaulis).
(ii) Primary larval host plants (narrow-leaved plantain and harsh
paintbrush) and at least one of the secondary annual larval host plants
(blue-eyed Mary (Collinsia parviflora), sea blush (Plectritis congesta),
or dwarf owl-clover (Triphysaria pusilla) or one of several species of
speedwell (marsh speedwell (Veronica scutella), American speedwell (V.
beccabunga var. americana), or thymeleaf speedwell (V. serpyllifolia).
(iii) Adult nectar sources for feeding that include several species
found as part of the native (and one nonnative) species mix on northwest
grasslands, including: narrow-leaved plantain; harsh paintbrush; Puget
balsam root; woolly sunshine; nine-leaved desert parsley; fine-leaved
desert parsley or spring gold; common camas; showy fleabane; Canada
thistle; common yarrow; prairie lupine; sickle-keeled lupine; and wild
strawberry (Fragaria virginiana).
(iv) Aquatic features such as wetlands, springs, seeps, streams,
ponds, lakes, and puddles that provide moisture during periods of
drought, particularly late in the spring and early summer. These
features can be permanent, seasonal, or ephemeral.
(3) Critical habitat does not include manmade structures (such as
buildings, aqueducts, runways, roads, railroad tracks, and other paved
areas) and the land on which they are located existing within the legal
boundaries on November 4, 2013.
(4) Critical habitat map units. Data layers defining the map unit
were created on 2010 aerial photography from U.S. Department of
Agriculture, National Agriculture Imagery Program base maps using ArcMap
(Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc.), a computer geographic
information system (GIS) program. The maps in this entry, as modified by
any accompanying regulatory text, establish the boundaries of the
critical habitat designation. The coordinates or plot points or both on
which each map is based are available to the public at the Service's
Internet site (http://www.fws.gov/wafwo/), at http://www.regulations.gov
at Docket No. FWS-R1-ES-2013-0009), and by appointment at the Service's
Washington Fish and Wildlife Office. You may obtain field office
location information by contacting one of the Service regional offices,
the addresses of which are listed at 50 CFR 2.2.

Hine's Emerald Dragonfly (Somatochlora hineana)
(1) Critical habitat units are depicted for Cook, DuPage, and Will
Counties in Illinois; Alpena, Mackinac, and Presque Isle Counties in
Michigan; Crawford, Dent, Iron, Phelps, Reynolds, Ripley, Washington,
and Wayne Counties in Missouri; and Door and Ozaukee Counties in
Wisconsin, on the maps below. The maps provided are for informational
purposes only.
(2) The primary constituent elements of critical habitat for the
Hine's emerald dragonfly are:
(i) For egg deposition and larval growth and development:
(A) Organic soils (histosols, or with organic surface horizon)
overlying calcareous substrate (predominantly dolomite and limestone
bedrock);
(B) Calcareous water from intermittent seeps and springs and
associated shallow, small, slow-flowing streamlet channels, rivulets,
and/or sheet flow within fens;
(C) Emergent herbaceous and woody vegetation for emergence
facilitation and refugia;
[[Page 711]]
(D) Occupied burrows maintained by crayfish for refugia; and
(E) Prey base of aquatic macroinvertebrates, including mayflies,
aquatic isopods, caddisflies, midge larvae, and aquatic worms.
(ii) For adult foraging, reproduction, dispersal, and refugia
necessary for roosting, for resting, for adult females to escape from
male harassment, and for predator avoidance (especially during the
vulnerable teneral stage):
(A) Natural plant communities near the breeding/larval habitat which
may include fen, marsh, sedge meadow, dolomite prairie, and the fringe
(up to 328 ft (100 m)) of bordering shrubby and forested areas with open
corridors for movement and dispersal; and
(B) Prey base of small, flying insect species (e.g., dipterans).
(3) Critical habitat does not include human-made structures existing
on the effective date of this rule and not containing one or more of the
primary constituent elements, such as buildings, lawns, old fields, hay
meadows, fallow crop fields, manicured lawns, pastures, piers and docks,
aqueducts, airports, and roads, and the land on which such structures
are located. We define ``old field'' here as cleared areas that were
formerly forested and may have been used as crop or pasture land that
currently support a mixture of native and nonnative herbs and low
shrubs. ``Fallow field'' is defined as a formerly plowed field that has
been left unseeded for a season or more and is presently uncultivated.
In addition, critical habitat does not include open-water areas (i.e.,
areas beyond the zone of emergent vegetation) of lakes and ponds.
(4) Critical habitat map units. Data layers defining map units were
created on a base of USGS 7.5' quadrangles, and critical habitat units
were then mapped using Geographical Information Systems, Universal
Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates. Critical habitat units are
described using the public land survey system (township (T), range (R)
and section (Sec.)).

(2) The primary constituent elements of critical habitat for
Drosophila heteroneura are:
(i) Mesic to wet, montane, ohia and koa forest between the
elevations of 2,908-5,755 ft (908-1,754 m); and
(ii) The larval host plants Cheirodendron trigynum ssp. trigynum,
Clermontia clermontioides, C. clermontioides ssp. rockiana, C.
hawaiiensis, C. kohalae, C. lindseyana, C. montis-loa, C. parviflora, C.
peleana, C. pyrularia, and Delissea parviflora, which exhibit one or
more life stages (from seedlings to senescent individuals).
(3) Critical habitat does not include manmade structures (such as
buildings, aqueducts, airports, and roads) and the land on which they
are located existing within the legal boundaries on the effective date
of this rule.

(1) Critical habitat is depicted for County of Honolulu, island of
Oahu, Hawaii, on the maps below. The maps provided are for informational
purposes only.
[[Page 833]]
(2) The primary constituent elements of critical habitat for
Drosophila substenoptera are:
(i) Mesic to wet, lowland to montane, ohia and koa forest between
the elevations of 1,920-4,030 ft (585-1,228 m); and
(ii) The larval host plants Cheirodendron platyphyllum ssp.
platyphyllum, C. trigynum ssp. trigynum, Tetraplasandra kavaiensis, and
T. oahuensis, which exhibit one or more life stages (from seedlings to
senescent individuals).
(3) Critical habitat does not include manmade structures (such as
buildings, aqueducts, airports, and roads) and the land on which they
are located existing within the legal boundaries on the effective date
of this rule.

Zayante Band-Winged Grasshopper (Trimerotropis infantilis)
1. The unit of critical habitat is depicted for Santa Cruz County,
California, on the map below. The map provided is for informational
purposes only.
[[Page 847]]
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR07FE01.017
2. Within this area, the primary constituent elements for the
Zayante band-winged grasshopper are those physical and biological
elements that provide conditions that are essential for the primary
biological needs of thermoregulation, foraging, sheltering,
reproduction, and dispersal. The primary constituent elements are--(a)
the presence of Zayante soils, (b) the occurrence of
[[Page 848]]
Zayante sand hills habitat and the associated plant species, and (c)
certain microhabitat conditions, including areas that receive large
amounts of sunlight, widely scattered tree and shrub cover, bare or
sparsely vegetated ground, and loose sand. Zayante sand hills habitat is
characterized by plant species associated with ponderosa pine sand
parkland and/or silverleaf manzanita mixed chaparral. Plant species that
may occur within the boundaries include, but are not limited to--
ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa), silver-leafed manzanita
(Arctostaphylos silvicola), California lilac (Ceonothus sp.), Adenostoma
sp., yerba santa (Eriodictyon sp.), sandwort (Minuartia sp.), pussypaws
(Calyptridium umbellatum), Ben Lomond spineflower (Erysimum
teretifolium), monkeyflower (Mimulus rattanii), miniature lupine
(Lupinis bicolor), gilia (Gilia tenuiflora), California aster (Lessingia
filaginifolia), Ben Lomond buckwheat (Eriogonum nudum ssp. decurrens),
and Ben Lomond spineflower (Chorizanthe pungens var. hartwegiana).
3. Critical habitat does not include existing developed sites
consisting of buildings, roads, aquaducts, railroads, airports, paved
areas, and similar features and structures.
Santa Cruz County, California. Boundaries are based upon the Public
Land Survey System. Within the historical boundaries of the Land Grants
of Zayanta, San Augustin, La Carbonera, and Canada Del Rincon En El Rio
San Lorenzo De Santa Cruz, boundaries are based upon section lines that
are extensions to the Public Land Survey System developed by the
California Department of Forestry and obtained by the Service from the
State of California's Stephen P. Teale Data Center. Township and Range
numbering is derived from the Mount Diablo Base and Meridian. The
following lands located within Santa Cruz County are being proposed for
critical habitat: T.9 S., R.1 W., SE\1/4\ sec. 31; T.9 S., R.2 W., SE\1/
4\ sec. 33, E\1/2\ sec. 34, SW\1/4\ sec. 35, S\1/2\ sec. 3; T.10 S., R1

Conservation Plan for the Quail Hollow Quarry and the Habitat
Conservation Plan for the Hanson Aggregates' Felton Plant.
Blackburn's Sphinx Moth (Manduca blackburni)
(1) Critical habitat units are depicted for the Hawaiian islands of
Maui, Kahoolawe, Hawaii, and Molokai on the maps below. The maps
provided are for informational purposes only.
(2) The primary constituent elements of critical habitat for
Blackburn's sphinx moth include specific habitat components identified
as essential for the primary biological needs of foraging, sheltering,
maturation, dispersal, breeding, and egg-laying.
(i) Based on our current knowledge of the species, the primary
constituent elements required by Blackburn's sphinx moth larvae for
foraging and maturation are two larval host plant species in the endemic
genus Nothocestrum (N. breviflorum and N. latifolium) and the habitats
that support these plants, i.e., dry and mesic habitats between the
elevations of sea level and 1,525 m (5,000 ft) that receive between 25
and 250 cm (10 and 100 in) of annual precipitation.
(ii) Based on our current knowledge of the species, the primary
constituent elements required by Blackburn's sphinx moth adults for
foraging, sheltering, dispersal, breeding, and egg production are native
nectar-supplying plants, including, but not limited to, Ipomoea spp.,
Capparis sandwichiana, and Plumbago zeylanica, and the habitats that
support these plants, i.e., dry and mesic habitats between the
elevations of sea level and 1,525 m (5,000 ft) that receive between 25
and 250 cm (10 and 100 in) of annual precipitation.
(3) Existing manmade features and structures within the boundaries
of the mapped areas do not contain one or more of the primary
constituent elements described for the species in paragraph (2) of this
section, and therefore, are not included in the critical habitat
designations. These features include, but are not limited to: buildings;
roads; aqueducts and other water system features such as pumping
stations, irrigation ditches, pipelines, siphons, tunnels, water tanks,
gauging stations (section in a stream channel equipped with facilities
for obtaining streamflow data), intakes, and wells; telecommunications
towers and associated structures and equipment; electrical power
transmission lines and associated rights-of-way; radars; telemetry
antennas; missile launch sites; arboreta and gardens; heiau (indigenous
places of worship or shrines); airports; other paved areas; lawns; and
other rural residential landscaped areas.
(4) Critical habitat units are described below. Coordinates are in
UTM Zone 4 with units in meters using North American Datum of 1983
(NAD83). The following index map shows the general locations of the 9
critical habitat units designated on the islands of Hawaii, Kahoolawe,
Maui, and Molokai.

Dakota Skipper (Hesperia dacotae)
(1) Critical habitat units are designated in Chippewa, Clay,
Kittson, Lincoln, Murray, Norman, Pipestone, Polk, Pope, and Swift
Counties in Minnesota; McHenry, McKenzie, Ransom, Richland, and Rolette
Counties in North Dakota; and Brookings, Day, Deuel, Grant, Marshall,
and Roberts Counties in South Dakota, on the maps below.
(2) Within these areas, the primary constituent elements of the
physical or biological features essential to the conservation of the
Dakota skipper consist of three components:
(i) Primary Constituent Element 1--Wet-mesic tallgrass or mixed-
grass remnant untilled prairie that occurs on near-shore glacial lake
soil deposits or high-quality dry-mesic remnant untilled prairie on
rolling terrain consisting of gravelly glacial moraine soil deposits,
containing:
(A) A predominance of native grasses and native flowering forbs;
(B) Glacial soils that provide the soil surface or near surface
(between soil surface and 2 cm depth) micro-climate conditions conducive
to Dakota skipper larval survival and native-prairie vegetation;
(C) If present, trees or large shrub cover of less than 5 percent of
area in dry prairies and less than 25 percent in wet-mesic prairies; and
(D) If present, nonnative invasive plant species occurring in less
than 5 percent of area.
(ii) Primary Constituent Element 2--Native grasses and native
flowering forbs for larval and adult food and shelter, specifically:
(A) At least one of the following native grasses to provide food and
shelter sources during Dakota skipper larval stages: prairie dropseed
(Sporobolus heterolepis) or little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium);
and
(B) One or more of the following forbs in bloom to provide nectar
and water sources during the Dakota skipper flight period: purple
coneflower (Echinacea angustifolia), bluebell bellflower (Campanula
rotundifolia), white prairie clover (Dalea candida), upright prairie
coneflower (Ratibida columnifera), fleabane (Erigeron spp.),
blanketflower (Gaillardia spp.), black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta),
yellow sundrops (Calylophus serrulatus), prairie milkvetch (Astragalus
adsurgens), or common gaillardia (Gaillardia aristata) .
(iii) Primary Constituent Element 3--Dispersal grassland habitat
that is within 1 km (0.6 mi) of native high-quality remnant prairie (as
defined in Primary Constituent Element 1) that connects high-quality
wet-mesic to dry tallgrass prairies or moist meadow habitats. Dispersal
grassland habitat consists of undeveloped open areas dominated by
perennial grassland with limited or no barriers to dispersal including
tree or shrub cover less than 25 percent of the area and no row crops
such as corn, beans, potatoes, or sunflowers.
(3) Critical habitat does not include manmade structures (such as
buildings, aqueducts, runways, roads, and other paved areas) and the
land on which they are located existing within the legal boundaries on
November 2, 2015.
(4) Critical habitat map units. Data layers defining map units were
created and digitized using ESRI's ArcMap (version 10.0) and comparing
USGS NAIP/FSA high-resolution orthophotography from 2010 or later and
previously mapped skipper habitat polygons submitted by contracted
researchers or prairie habitat polygons made available from Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources' County Biological Survey. Critical
habitat units then were mapped in Geographic Coordinate System WGS84.
The maps in this entry, as modified by any accompanying regulatory text,
establish the boundaries of the critical habitat designation. The
coordinates or plot points or both on which each map is based are
available to the public at the Service's internet site (http://
www.fws.gov/midwest/Endangered), at http://www.regulations.gov at Docket
No. FWS-R3-ES-2013-0017, and at the field office responsible for this
designation. You may obtain field office location information by
contacting one of the Service regional offices, the addresses of which
are listed at 50 CFR 2.2.

Laguna Mountains Skipper (Pyrgus ruralis lagunae)
(1) Critical habitat units are depicted for San Diego County,
California, on the maps below. The maps provided are for informational
purposes only.
(2) The primary constituent elements of critical habitat for the
Laguna Mountains skipper are the habitat components that provide:
(i) The hostplants, Horkelia clevelandii or Potentilla glandulosa,
which are needed for reproduction, in meadows or forest openings.
[[Page 891]]
(ii) Nectar sources suitable for feeding by adult Laguna Mountains
skipper, including Lasthenia spp., Pentachaeta aurea, Ranunculus spp.,
and Sidalcea spp., found in woodlands or meadows.
(iii) Wet soil or standing water associated with features such as
seeps, springs, or creeks where water and minerals are obtained during
the adult flight season.
(3) Critical habitat does not include man-made structures existing
on the effective date of this rule and not containing one or more of the
primary constituent elements, such as buildings, aqueducts, airports,
and roads, and the land on which such structures are located.
(4) Data layers defining map units were created on a base of USGS
1:24,000 quadrangle maps, and critical habitat units were then mapped
using Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates.

Poweshiek Skipperling (Oarisma Poweshiek)
(1) Critical habitat units are designated for Cerro Gordo,
Dickinson, Emmet, Howard, Kossuth, and Osceola Counties in Iowa; in
Hilsdale, Jackson, Lenawee, Livingston, Oakland, and Washtenaw Counties
in Michigan; Chippewa, Clay, Cottonwood, Douglas, Kittson, Lac Qui
Parle, Lincoln, Lyon, Mahnomen, Murray, Norman, Pipestone, Polk, Pope,
Swift, and Wilkin Counties in Minnesota; Richland County in North
Dakota; Brookings, Day, Deuel, Grant, Marshall, Moody, and Roberts
Counties in South Dakota; and Green Lake and Waukesha Counties in
Wisconsin, on the maps below.
(2) Within these areas, the primary constituent elements of the
physical or biological features essential to the conservation of
Poweshiek skipperling consist of four components:
(i) Primary Constituent Element 1--Wet-mesic to dry tallgrass
remnant untilled prairies or remnant moist meadows containing:
(A) A predominance of native grasses and native flowering forbs;
(B) Undisturbed (untilled) glacial soil types including, but not
limited to, loam, sandy loam, loamy sand, gravel, organic soils (peat),
or marl that provide the edaphic features conducive to Poweshiek
skipperling larval survival and native-prairie vegetation;
(C) If present, depressional wetlands or low wet areas, within or
adjacent to prairies that provide shelter from high summer temperatures
and fire;
(D) If present, trees or large shrub cover less than 5 percent of
area in dry prairies and less than 25 percent in wet-mesic prairies and
prairie fens; and
(E) If present, nonnative invasive plant species occurring in less
than 5 percent of area.
(ii) Primary Constituent Element 2--Prairie fen habitats containing:
(A) A predominance of native grasses and native flowering forbs;
(B) Undisturbed (untilled) glacial soil types including, but not
limited to, organic soils (peat), or marl that provide the edaphic
features conducive to Poweshiek skipperling larval survival and native-
prairie vegetation;
(C) Depressional wetlands or low wet areas, within or adjacent to
prairies that provide shelter from high summer temperatures and fire;
(D) Hydraulic features necessary to maintain prairie fen groundwater
flow and prairie fen plant communities;
(E) If present, trees or large shrub cover less than 25 percent of
the unit; and
(F) If present, nonnative invasive plant species occurring in less
than 5 percent of area.
(iii) Primary Constituent Element 3--Native grasses and native
flowering forbs for larval and adult food and shelter, specifically:
(A) At least one of the following native grasses available to
provide larval food and shelter sources during Poweshiek skipperling
larval stages: Prairie dropseed (Sporobolus heterolepis), little
bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium), sideoats grama (Bouteloua
curtipendula), or mat muhly (Muhlenbergia richardsonis); and
(B) At least one of the following forbs in bloom to provide nectar
and water sources during the Poweshiek skipperling flight period: Purple
coneflower (Echinacea angustifolia), black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta),
smooth ox-eye (Heliopsis helianthoides), stiff tickseed (Coreopsis
palmata), palespike lobelia (Lobelia spicata), sticky tofieldia
(Triantha glutinosa), or shrubby cinquefoil (Dasiphora fruticosa ssp.
floribunda).
(iv) Primary Constituent Element 4--Dispersal grassland habitat that
is within 1 km (0.6 mi) of native high-quality remnant prairie (as
defined in Primary Constituent Element 1) that connects high-quality
wet-mesic to dry tallgrass prairies, moist meadows, or prairie fen
habitats. Dispersal grassland habitat consists of the following physical
characteristics appropriate for supporting Poweshiek skipperling
dispersal: Undeveloped open areas dominated by perennial grassland with
limited or no barriers to dispersal including tree or shrub cover less
than 25 percent of the area and no row crops such as corn, beans,
potatoes, or sunflowers.
(3) Critical habitat does not include manmade structures (such as
buildings, aqueducts, runways, roads, and other
[[Page 898]]
paved areas) and the land on which they are located existing within the
legal boundaries on November 2, 2015.
(4) Critical habitat map units. Data layers defining map units were
created and digitized using ESRI's ArcMap (version 10.0) and comparing
USGS NAIP/FSA high-resolution orthophotography from 2010 or later and
previously mapped skipper habitat polygons submitted by contracted
researchers or prairie habitat polygons made available from Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources' County Biological Survey. Critical
habitat units then were mapped in Geographic Coordinate System WGS84.
The maps in this entry, as modified by any accompanying regulatory text,
establish the boundaries of the critical habitat designation. The
coordinates or plot points or both on which each map is based are
available to the public at the Service's internet site (http://
www.fws.gov/midwest/Endangered/), at http://www.regulations.gov at
Docket No. FWS-R3-ES-2013-0017, and at the field office responsible for
this designation. You may obtain field office location information by
contacting one of the Service regional offices, the addresses of which
