RIN 1018-AG99


Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Proposed 
Determination of Critical Habitat for the Oahu Elepaio; Correction

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.

ACTION: Proposed rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: The proposed rule to designate critical habitat for the Oahu 
elepaio (Chasiempis sandwichensis ibidis) was published in the Federal 
Register on June 6, 2001. The maps and legal descriptions of the 
critical habitat units are correct as published in the Federal 
Register, but Figure 2 in the background of the proposed rule, which 
showed the proposed critical habitat units in relation to the current, 
recent historical, and presumed prehistoric distributions of the Oahu 
elepaio, is incorrect. This document contains the correct version of 
Figure 2 with an accurate map of the proposed critical habitat units.

DATES: Comments on the proposed rule that was published June 6, 2001 
(66 FR 30372) must be received no later than September 6, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Send written comments on the proposed rule to Paul Henson, 
Field Supervisor, Pacific Islands Fish and Wildlife Office, U.S. Fish 
and Wildlife Service, 300 Ala Moana Boulevard, Room 3-122, Box 50088, 
Honolulu, Hawaii 96850.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul Henson, Field Supervisor, or Eric 
VanderWerf, Biologist, at the above address (telephone: 808/541-3441; 
facsimile: 808/541-3470).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 6, 2001, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife 
Service (Service) published a proposed rule to designate critical 
habitat for the Oahu elepaio (66 FR 30372). The proposed rule contained 
correct maps and legal descriptions of the proposed critical habitat 
units. However, Figure 2 in the background of the proposed rule, which 
showed the proposed critical habitat units in relation to the current, 
recent historical, and presumed prehistoric distribution of the Oahu 
elepaio, showed the proposed critical habitat units incorrectly. Figure 
2 erroneously showed an additional habitat unit in the northern Koolau 
Mountains, and the boundary of the Northern Waianae Unit was inaccurate 
along its northwestern edge. We are providing a corrected version of 
Figure 2 that contains an accurate map of the proposed critical habitat 
units, and which matches the critical habitat units depicted in the 
legal description of the original proposed rule. Page 30377 of the 
proposed rule should be replaced with Figure 2 of this correction.
    In addition, we attempted to use the correct spelling of Hawaiian 
words by including diacritical marks (a single grave mark (`) before a 
vowel indicating a glottal stop, and a macron or horizontal line above 
a vowel indicating a longer or stressed vowel sound), but we 
acknowledge that these marks were not printed correctly in the proposed 
rule. In the final rule to designate critical habitat for the Oahu 
elepaio, we will ensure that the Hawaiian diacritical marks are either 
used correctly or eliminated.

    Accordingly, make the following correction to FR Doc. 01-14171 
published at 66 FR 30372 on June 6, 2001.

PART 17--[CORRECTED]
