Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants: Prudency 
Determinations for Eight Plant Species From the Hawaiian Islands, and 
Proposed Critical Habitat Designations for Eighteen Plant Species From 
the Island of Lanai, Hawaii; Correction

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.

ACTION: Proposed rule; Correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The proposed rule to determine prudency for eight plant 
species from the Hawaiian Islands and to propose critical habitat 
designations for eighteen plant species from the island of Lanai was 
published in the Federal Register on December 27, 2000 (65 FR 82086). 
This document contains corrections to the proposed designations of 
critical habitat for eighteen plant species from Lanai. These 
corrections are necessary to provide the correct map of general 
locations of units for eighteen plant species from Lanai and to provide 
the correct maps and UTM coordinates for critical habitat units Lanai 
B, I, and J. As noted in the proposed rule, the GIS maps are provided 
to assist the public in identifying areas that may fall within the 
proposed designations. The corrected critical habitat units are 
described below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul Henson, Field Supervisor, U.S. 
Fish and Wildlife Service, Pacific Islands Office, 300 Ala Moana Blvd., 
P.O. Box 50088, Honolulu, Hawaii 96850-0001 (telephone 808/541-3441; 
facsimile 808/541-3470).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 27, 2000, the U.S. Fish and 
Wildlife Service (Service) published a proposal to designate critical 
habitat for 18 plant species from the island of Lanai, Hawaii. In that 
proposal, a total of approximately 1,953 hectares (ha) (4,826 acres 
(ac)) on the island of Lanai were proposed as critical habitat.
    As published, the proposal contained errors in Table 5 
(``Approximate Proposed Critical Habitat Area by Unit, Lanai, Maui 
County, Hawaii'') and in the ``Descriptions of Critical Habitat Units'' 
for units Lanai B and I. The corrected total area for Lanai B is 137 ha 
(339 ac) and for Lanai I 176 ha (436 ac). As a result, the corrected 
total area proposed as critical habitat is now 2,034 ha (5,027 ac) on 
Lanai. In addition, the

[[Page 18224]]

proposal contained errors in the legal descriptions and maps depicting 
critical habitat for units Lanai B, I, and J. We are providing 
corrected legal descriptions and GIS maps of critical habitat units 
Lanai B, I, and J. The legal descriptions of the critical habitat 
designations required by regulation (50 CFR 424.12(c)) are the UTM 
coordinates that provide specific limits using reference points as 
found on standard topographic maps of the areas.
    Accordingly, make the following corrections to FR Doc. 00-31080 
published at 65 FR 82086 on December 27, 2000:
