Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Designation of 
Critical Habitat for the Flatwoods Salamander

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), propose to 
designate critical habitat for the flatwoods salamander (Ambystoma 
cingulatum) pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended 
(Act). In total, approximately 31,428 acres (ac) (12,719 hectares (ha)) 
fall within the boundaries of the proposed critical habitat 
designation. The proposed critical habitat is located in Baker, 
Calhoun, Franklin, Holmes, Jackson, Jefferson, Liberty, Santa Rosa, 
Wakulla, Walton, and Washington Counties in Florida; Baker and Miller 
Counties in Georgia; and Berkeley, Charleston, and Jasper Counties in 
South Carolina.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Public Comments Solicited

    We intend that any final action resulting from this proposal will 
be as accurate and as effective as possible. Therefore, comments or 
suggestions from the public, other concerned governmental agencies, the 
scientific community, industry, or any other interested party 
concerning this proposed rule are hereby solicited. Comments 
particularly are sought concerning:
    (1) The reasons any habitat should or should not be determined to 
be critical habitat as provided by section 4 of the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 
et seq.), including whether the benefit of designation will outweigh 
any threats to the species caused by designation;
    (2) Specific information on the amount and distribution of 
flatwoods salamander habitat, what areas should be included in the 
designations that were occupied at the time of listing that contain the 
features that are essential for the conservation of the species and why 
and what areas that were not occupied at the time of listing but are 
essential to the conservation of the species and why;
    (3) Land use designations and current or planned activities in the 
subject areas and their possible impacts on proposed critical habitat;
    (4) Any foreseeable economic, national security, or other potential 
impacts resulting from the proposed designation and, in particular, any 
impacts on small entities;
    (5) The adequacy of forest management plans and programs for 
Francis Marion, Osceola, and Apalachicola National Forests with respect 
to providing protection and conservation for the flatwoods salamander; 
and
    (6) Whether our approach to designating critical habitat could be 
improved or modified in any way to provide for greater public 
participation and understanding, or to assist us in accommodating 
public concerns and comments.
    If you wish to comment, you may submit your comments and materials 
concerning this proposal by any one of several methods (see ADDRESSES 
section). Please submit Internet comments to [email protected]. 
Please include ``Attn: flatwoods salamander'' in your e-mail subject 
header and your name and return address in the body of your message. If 
you do not receive a confirmation from the system that we have received 
your Internet message, contact us directly by calling our Mississippi 
Fish and Wildlife Office at phone number 601/965-4900.
    Our practice is to make comments, including names and home 
addresses of respondents, available for public review during regular 
business hours. Individual respondents may request that we withhold 
their names and home addresses, etc., but if you wish us to consider 
withholding this information, you must state this prominently at the 
beginning of your comments. In addition, you must present rationale for 
withholding this information. This rationale must demonstrate that 
disclosure would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of privacy. 
Unsupported assertions will not meet this burden. In the absence of 
exceptional, documentable circumstances, this information will be 
released. We will always make submissions from organizations or 
businesses, and from individuals identifying themselves as 
representatives or officials of organizations or businesses, available 
for public inspection in their entirety.

Role of Critical Habitat in Actual Practice of Administering and 
Implementing the Act

    Attention to and protection of habitat is paramount to successful 
conservation actions. The role that designation of critical habitat 
plays in protecting habitat of listed species, however, is often 
misunderstood. As discussed in more detail below in the discussion of 
exclusions under the Act's section 4(b)(2), there are significant 
limitations on the regulatory effect of designation under Act's section 
7(a)(2). In brief, (1) designation provides additional protection to 
habitat only where there is a federal nexus; (2) the protection is 
relevant only when, in the absence of designation, destruction or 
adverse modification of the critical habitat would in fact take place 
(in other words, other statutory or regulatory protections, policies, 
or other factors relevant to agency decision-making would not prevent 
the destruction or adverse modification); and (3) designation of 
critical habitat triggers the prohibition of destruction or adverse 
modification of that habitat, but it does not require specific actions 
to restore or improve habitat.

[[Page 5857]]

    Currently, only 476 species, or 36 percent of the 1,311 listed 
species in the United States under the jurisdiction of the Service, 
have designated critical habitat. We address the habitat needs of all 
1,311 listed species through conservation mechanisms such as listing, 
section 7 consultations, the section 4 recovery planning process, the 
section 9 protective prohibitions of unauthorized take, section 6 
funding to the States, the section 10 incidental take permit process, 
and cooperative, nonregulatory efforts with private landowners. The 
Service believes that it is these measures may make the difference 
between extinction and survival for many species.
    In considering exclusions of areas proposed for designation, we 
evaluated the benefits of designation in light of Gifford Pinchot Task 
Force v. United States Fish and Wildlife Service, 378 F. 3d 1059 (9th 
Cir 2004) (hereinafter Gifford Pinchot). In that case, the Ninth 
Circuit invalidated the Service's regulation defining ``destruction or 
adverse modification of critical habitat.'' In response, on December 9, 
2004, the Director issued guidance to be considered in making section 7 
adverse modification determinations. This proposed critical habitat 
designation does not use the invalidated regulation in our 
consideration of the benefits of including areas. The Service will 
carefully manage future consultations that analyze impacts to 
designated critical habitat, particularly those that appear to be 
resulting in an adverse modification determination. Such consultations 
will be reviewed by the Regional Office prior to finalizing to ensure 
that an adequate analysis has been conducted that is informed by the 
Director's guidance.
    On the other hand, to the extent that designation of critical 
habitat provides protection, that protection can come at significant 
social and economic cost. In addition, the mere administrative process 
of designation of critical habitat is expensive, time-consuming, and 
controversial. The current statutory framework of critical habitat, 
combined with past judicial interpretations of the statute, make 
critical habitat the subject of excessive litigation. As a result, 
critical habitat designations are driven by litigation and courts 
rather than biology, and made at a time and under a time frame that 
limits our ability to obtain and evaluate the scientific and other 
information required to make the designation most meaningful.
    In light of these circumstances, the Service believes that 
additional agency discretion would allow our focus to return to those 
actions that provide the greatest benefit to the species most in need 
of protection.

Procedural and Resource Difficulties in Designating Critical Habitat

    We have been inundated with lawsuits for our failure to designate 
critical habitat, and we face a growing number of lawsuits challenging 
critical habitat determinations once they are made. These lawsuits have 
subjected the Service to an ever-increasing series of court orders and 
court-approved settlement agreements, compliance with which now 
consumes nearly the entire listing program budget. This leaves the 
Service with little ability to prioritize its activities to direct 
scarce listing resources to the listing program actions with the most 
biologically urgent species conservation needs.
    The consequence of the critical habitat litigation activity is that 
limited listing funds are used to defend active lawsuits, to respond to 
Notices of Intent (NOIs) to sue relative to critical habitat, and to 
comply with the growing number of adverse court orders. As a result, 
listing petition responses, the Service's own proposals to list 
critically imperiled species, and final listing determinations on 
existing proposals are all significantly delayed.
    The accelerated schedules of court-ordered designations have left 
the Service with limited ability to provide for public participation or 
to ensure a defect-free rulemaking process before making decisions on 
listing and critical habitat proposals, due to the risks associated 
with noncompliance with judicially imposed deadlines. This in turn 
fosters a second round of litigation in which those who fear adverse 
impacts from critical habitat designations challenge those 
designations. The cycle of litigation appears endless, and is very 
expensive, thus diverting resources from conservation actions that may 
provide relatively more benefit to imperiled species.
    The costs resulting from the designation include legal costs, the 
cost of preparation and publication of the designation, the analysis of 
the economic effects and the cost of requesting and responding to 
public comment, and in some cases the costs of compliance with the 
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA; 42 U.S.C. 4371 et seq.). These 
costs, which are not required for many other conservation actions, 
directly reduce the funds available for direct and tangible 
conservation actions.

Background

    It is our intent to discuss only those topics directly relevant to 
the designation of critical habitat in this proposed rule. For more 
information on the flatwoods salamander, refer to the final listing 
rule published in the Federal Register on April 1, 1999 (64 FR 15691).

Previous Federal Actions

    The flatwoods salamander (Ambystoma cingulatum) was listed as 
threatened on April 1, 1999 (64 FR 15691). At that time, we found that 
designation of critical habitat for the flatwoods salamander was not 
prudent because such designation would not be beneficial and may 
increase threats to the species. On April 1, 2005, Center for 
Biological Diversity, Wild South, and Florida Biodiversity Project 
filed a lawsuit against the Secretary of the Interior alleging failure 
to designate critical habitat for the flatwoods salamander. In a court-
approved settlement agreement, we agreed to reevaluate the need for 
critical habitat for the species and if prudent submit a proposed 
designation of critical habitat to the Federal Register by January 30, 
2007.

Critical Habitat

    Critical habitat is defined in section 3 of the Act as--(i) the 
specific areas within the geographical area occupied by a species, at 
the time it is listed in accordance with the Act, on which are found 
those physical or biological features (I) essential to the conservation 
of the species and (II) that may require special management 
considerations or protection; and (ii) specific areas outside the 
geographical area occupied by a species at the time it is listed, upon 
a determination that such areas are essential for the conservation of 
the species. Conservation, as defined under section 3 of the Act, means 
to use and the use of all methods and procedures that are necessary to 
bring any endangered species or threatened species to the point at 
which the measures provided pursuant to the Act are no longer 
necessary. Such methods and procedures include, but are not limited to, 
all activities associated with scientific resources management such as 
research, census, law enforcement, habitat acquisition and maintenance, 
propagation, live trapping, and transplantation, and, in the 
extraordinary case where population pressures within a given ecosystem 
cannot be otherwise relieved, may include regulated taking.

[[Page 5858]]

    Critical habitat receives protection under section 7 of the Act 
through the prohibition against destruction or adverse modification of 
critical habitat with regard to actions carried out, funded, or 
authorized by a Federal agency. Section 7 requires consultation on 
Federal actions that are likely to result in the destruction or adverse 
modification of critical habitat. The designation of critical habitat 
does not affect land ownership or establish a refuge, wilderness, 
reserve, preserve, or other conservation area. Such designation does 
not allow government or public access to private lands. Section 7 is a 
purely protective measure and does not require implementation of 
restoration, recovery, or enhancement measures.
    To be included in a critical habitat designation, the habitat 
within the area occupied by the species must first have features that 
are essential to the conservation of the species. Critical habitat 
designations identify, to the extent known using the best scientific 
data available, habitat areas that provide essential life cycle needs 
of the species (i.e., areas on which are found the primary constituent 
elements, as defined at 50 CFR 424.12(b)).
    Habitat occupied at the time of listing may be included in critical 
habitat only if the essential features thereon may require special 
management or protection. Thus, we do not include areas where existing 
management is sufficient to conserve the species. (As discussed below, 
such areas may also be excluded from critical habitat pursuant to 
section 4(b)(2)). Accordingly, when the best available scientific data 
do not demonstrate that the conservation needs of the species require 
additional areas, we will not designate critical habitat in areas 
outside the geographical area occupied by the species at the time of 
listing. An area currently occupied by the species but not known to 
have been occupied at the time of listing will likely, but not always, 
be essential to the conservation of the species and, therefore, 
typically included in the critical habitat designation.
    The Service's Policy on Information Standards Under the Endangered 
Species Act, published in the Federal Register on July 1, 1994 (59 FR 
34271), and Section 515 of the Treasury and General Government 
Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2001 (Pub. L. 106-554; H.R. 5658) 
and the associated Information Quality Guidelines issued by the Service 
provide criteria, establish procedures, and provide guidance to ensure 
that decisions made by the Service represent the best scientific data 
available. They require Service biologists, to the extent consistent 
with the Act and with the use of the best scientific data available, to 
use primary and original sources of information as the basis for 
recommendations to designate critical habitat. When determining which 
areas are critical habitat, a primary source of information is 
generally the listing package for the species. Additional information 
sources include the recovery plan for the species, articles in peer-
reviewed journals, conservation plans developed by States and counties, 
scientific status surveys and studies, biological assessments, or other 
unpublished materials and expert opinion or personal knowledge. All 
information is used in accordance with the provisions of Section 515 of 
the Treasury and General Government Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 
2001 (Pub. L. 106-554; H.R. 5658) and the associated Information 
Quality Guidelines issued by the Service.
    Section 4 of the Act requires that we designate critical habitat on 
the basis of the best scientific data available. Habitat is often 
dynamic, and species may move from one area to another over time. 
Furthermore, we recognize that designation of critical habitat may not 
include all of the habitat areas that may eventually be determined to 
be necessary for the recovery of the species. For these reasons, 
critical habitat designations do not signal that habitat outside the 
designation is unimportant or may not be required for recovery.
    Areas that support populations, but are outside the critical 
habitat designation, will continue to be subject to conservation 
actions implemented under section 7(a)(1) of the Act and to the 
regulatory protections afforded by the section 7(a)(2) jeopardy 
standard, as determined on the basis of the best available information 
at the time of the action. Federally funded or permitted projects 
affecting listed species outside their designated critical habitat 
areas may still result in jeopardy findings in some cases. Similarly, 
critical habitat designations made on the basis of the best available 
information at the time of designation will not control the direction 
and substance of future recovery plans, habitat conservation plans, or 
other species conservation planning efforts if new information 
available to these planning efforts calls for a different outcome.

Methods

    As required by section 4(b)(2) of the Act, we use the best 
scientific data available in determining areas that contain the 
features that are essential to the conservation of the flatwoods 
salamander. This includes information from the proposed listing rule 
(62 FR 65787), final listing rule (64 FR 15691), site visits, soil and 
species map coverages, and data compiled in the Florida, Georgia, and 
South Carolina Natural Heritage databases. We do not propose any areas 
outside the geographical area presently occupied by the species.
    We also reviewed the available information pertaining to historical 
and current distribution, ecology, life history, and habitat 
requirements of the flatwoods salamander. This material included data 
in reports submitted by biologists holding section 10(a)(1)(A) recovery 
permits; research published in peer-reviewed scientific publications; 
museum records; technical reports and unpublished field observations by 
Service, State and other experienced biologists; additional notes and 
communications with qualified biologists or experts; and regional 
Geographic Information System (GIS) coverages.

Primary Constituent Elements

    In accordance with section 3(5)(A)(i) of the Act and regulations at 
50 CFR 424.12, in determining which areas to propose as critical 
habitat, we consider those physical and biological features that are 
essential to the conservation of the species (PCEs), and within areas 
occupied by the species at the time of listing, those PCES that may 
require special management considerations and protection. These 
include, but are not limited to, space for individual and population 
growth and for normal behavior; food, water, air, light, minerals, or 
other nutritional or physiological requirements; cover or shelter; 
sites for breeding, reproduction, and rearing (or development) of 
offspring; and habitats that are protected from disturbance or are 
representative of the historic geographical and ecological 
distributions of a species.
    The specific PCEs required for the flatwoods salamander are derived 
from the biological needs of the flatwoods salamander as described 
below and in the final listing rule (64 FR 15691).

Space for Individual and Population Growth and Normal Behavior

    The flatwoods salamander is a terrestrial species of the longleaf 
pine ecosystem. Flatwoods salamanders spend most of their lives 
underground, and occur in forested habitat consisting of fire-
maintained, open-canopied, flatwoods and savannas dominated by longleaf 
pine (Pinus palustris), with naturally-occurring slash pine (P.

[[Page 5859]]

elliotti) in wetter areas. Historically, fire-tolerant longleaf pine 
dominated the uplands, whereas slash pine, being less fire-tolerant, 
was confined principally to wetlands, wetland edges, and the wetter 
portions of pine flatwoods. Means et al. (1996, pp. 434-435) summarized 
the natural distribution of slash pine in reference to the flatwoods 
salamander and concluded that natural slash pine habitats constituted 
only a minor fraction of the species' upland habitat. Much of the 
original flatwoods habitat has been converted to pine (often slash 
pine) plantations and become a closed-canopy forest unsuitable as 
habitat for the flatwoods salamander. Nevertheless, flatwoods 
salamanders do occur on some slash and loblolly pine (P. taeda) 
plantation sites. The extent of habitat degradation has been variable 
among pine plantations. On some plantations, the original hydrology, 
ground cover, and soil structure have been less severely altered, and 
these are the areas where remnant flatwoods salamander populations 
still occur.
    Pine flatwoods and savannas are typically characterized by low, 
flat topography, and relatively poorly-drained, acidic, sandy soil that 
becomes seasonally saturated. In the past, this ecosystem was 
characterized by open pine woodlands maintained by frequent fires. 
Naturally ignited by lightning during spring and early summer, these 
flatwoods historically burned at intervals ranging from 1 to 4 years 
(discussion in Clewell 1989, p. 226). In some areas, such as southwest 
Georgia, the topography of pine flatwoods can vary from nearly flat to 
gently-rolling hills. The groundcover of the pine flatwoods/savanna 
ecosystem is typically dominated by wiregrass (Aristida stricta [= A. 
beyrichiana] Kesler et al. 2003, p. 9) in the Gulf Coastal Plain, which 
is often joined or replaced by dropseed (Sporobolus spp.) in the 
Atlantic Coastal Plain. Many other herbaceous plants are found in the 
groundcover and plant diversity is usually very high.
    During the breeding season, adult flatwoods salamanders leave their 
subterranean retreats and migrate to breeding sites during rains 
associated with passing cold fronts. Throughout their range, the 
salamanders breed at ephemeral (seasonally-flooded) isolated ponds (not 
connected to other water bodies) embedded within the mesic (moderate 
moisture) to intermediate-mesic flatwoods/savanna communities occupied 
by post-larval and adult salamanders (Palis and Means 2005, pp. 608-
609. There are some variations in vegetation, geology, and soils among 
geographic areas within the range of the salamander (most notably, 
differences between the Gulf Coast and Atlantic Coastal Plain 
communities); however, basic characteristics are fairly similar 
throughout. Both forested uplands and isolated wetlands (See further 
discussion of isolated wetlands in section ``Sites for breeding, 
reproduction, and rearing of offspring,'' below) are needed to provide 
space for individual and population growth and normal behavior.
    The distance between the wetland breeding and upland terrestrial 
habitats of post-larval and adult salamanders can vary considerably. 
According to Ashton (1992), flatwoods salamanders have been documented 
up to 5,576 ft (1,700 m) from breeding ponds. In the final listing 
rule, however, the Service used an estimate of 1,476 feet (ft) (450 
meters (m)) as the radius of a flatwoods salamander's principal 
activity area around a breeding pond based on research summarized in 
Semlitsch (1998, pp. 1115-1117) on this species and other species in 
its genus (U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service 1999, p. 15697).

Food, Water, Air, Light, or Other Nutritional or Physiological 
Requirements

    It is assumed that flatwoods salamanders eat small invertebrates 
that share their fossorial (underground) habitat. Records exist of 
earthworms that have been found in the stomachs of dissected adults 
(Goin 1950, p. 314). Larval flatwoods salmanders most likely prey on a 
variety of aquatic invertebrates and perhaps small vertebrates such as 
other amphibian larvae (Palis and Means 2005, p. 608). Data from a 
recent study of larval food habits found that freshwater crustaceans 
dominated stomach contents of preserved, wild-caught individuals from 
Florida and South Carolina (Whiles et al. 2004, p. 208). This likely 
indicates a preference for freshwater crustaceans, or perhaps is an 
indication that these invertebrates are the most abundant or most 
easily captured prey in breeding ponds.
    Within the pine uplands, a diverse and abundant herbaceous layer 
consisting of native species is important to maintain the prey base for 
adult flatwoods salamanders. Wetland water quality is important to 
maintain the aquatic invertebrate fauna eaten by larval salamanders. An 
unpolluted wetland with water free of sediment, pesticides, herbicides, 
and the chemicals associated with road runoff, is important to maintain 
the aquatic invertebrate fauna eaten by larval salamanders.

Cover or Shelter

    At wetland sites, developing larval flatwoods salamanders hide in 
submerged herbaceous vegetation during the day (Palis and Means 2005, 
p. 608) as protection from predators. Thus, an abundant herbaceous 
community in these ponds is important for cover.
    Generally, flatwoods salamander breeding pond and upland habitats 
are separated by an ecotone (area of transitional habitat) through 
which salamanders must move during pre- and post-breeding events (Palis 
1997, p. 58). The graminaceous (grass-like) ecotone represents a 
distinct habitat type and studies of migratory success in salamanders 
have demonstrated its importance to population survival (Rothermel 
2004, pp. 1544-1545).
    Post-larval and adult flatwoods salamanders occupy upland flatwoods 
sites where they live underground in crayfish burrows, root channels, 
or burrows of their own making (Goin 1950, p. 311; Neill 1951, p. 765; 
Mount 1975, pp. 98-99; Ashton and Ashton 2005, pp. 63, 65, 68-71). The 
occurrence of these below-ground habitats is dependent upon protection 
of the soil structure within flatwoods salamander terrestrial sites.

Sites for Breeding, Reproduction, and Rearing of Offspring

    Adult flatwoods salamanders move from the uplands to breed in ponds 
that are typically acidic, tannin-stained, isolated, ephemeral wetlands 
(marsh-like depressions) (Palis 1997, p. 53, 58; Safer 2001, p. 5, 12). 
Breeding occurs from late September to December when ponds flood due to 
rainy weather associated with cold fronts. If rainfall is insufficient 
to result in adequate pond flooding, breeding may not occur or, if 
larvae do develop, they may die before metamorphosis. Egg development 
from deposition to hatching occurs in approximately 2 weeks, but eggs 
do not hatch until they are inundated (Palis 1995, p. 352, 353). Larval 
salamanders usually metamorphose in March or April after an 11-to-18-
week larval period (Palis 1995, p. 352). Ponds dry shortly thereafter. 
A cycle of filling and drying is essential for maintaining the 
appropriate habitat conditions of these wetlands.
    The overstory within breeding ponds is typically dominated by pond 
cypress (Taxodium ascendens [=T. distichum var. imbricarium; Lickey and 
Walker 2002, p. 131)], blackgum (Nyssa sylvatica var. biflora), and 
slash pine (Palis 1997, p. 58, 59). An open midstory is often present 
as well and

[[Page 5860]]

dominant species include the myrtle-leaved holly (Illex myrtifolia) and 
other shrubs and small trees (Palis 1997, p. 58, 59). When they are 
dry, breeding ponds burn naturally due to periodic wildfires, 
especially during late spring and summer. Depending on canopy closure 
and midstory, the herbaceous groundcover of breeding sites can vary 
considerably (Palis 1997, p. 58, 59). However, flatwoods salamander 
larvae are typically found in those portions of breeding sites 
containing abundant herbaceous vegetation. The ground cover is 
dominated by graminaceous species. The floor of breeding sites 
generally consists of relatively firm mud with little or no peat. 
Burrows of crayfish (genus Procambarus, principally) are a common 
feature of flatwoods salamander breeding sites. Breeding sites are 
typically encircled by a bunchgrass (wiregrass or dropseed)--dominated 
graminaceous ecotone (see discussion of ecotone, above). Small fish, 
such as pygmy sunfishes (Elassoma spp.), mosquitofish (Gambusia 
holbrookii), and banded sunfish (Enneacanthus obesus) may be present, 
but large predaceous species are absent (Palis 1997, p. 58, 60).

Primary Constituent Elements for the Flatwoods Salamander

    Pursuant to our regulations, we are required to identify the known 
physical and biological features essential to the conservation of the 
flatwoods salamander (PCEs). Based on our current knowledge of the life 
history, biology, and ecology of the species and the requirements of 
the habitat to sustain the essential life history functions of the 
species, we have determined that the flatwoods salamander's PCEs are:
    1. Breeding habitat. Small (generally <1 to 10 acres (ac) (<0.4 to 
4.0 hectares (ha)), acidic, depressional standing bodies of freshwater 
(wetlands) that:
    (a) are seasonally flooded by rainfall in late fall or early winter 
and dry in late spring or early summer;
    (b) are geographically isolated from other water bodies;
    (c) occur within pine-flatwoods/savanna communities;
    (d) are dominated by grasses and grass-like species in the ground 
layer and overstories of pond cypress, blackgum, and slash pine.
    (e) have a relatively open canopy, necessary to maintain the 
herbaceous component which serves as cover for flatwoods salamander 
larvae and their aquatic invertebrate prey; and
    (f) typically have a burrowing crayfish fauna, but, due to periodic 
drying, the breeding ponds typically lack large, predatory fish (e.g., 
Lepomis (sunfish), Micropterus (bass), Amia calva (bowfin)).
    2. Non-breeding habitat. Upland pine flatwoods/savanna habitat that 
is open, mesic woodland maintained by frequent fires and that:
    (a) is within 1,500 ft (457 m) of adjacent and accessible breeding 
ponds;
    (b) contains crayfish burrows or other underground habitat that the 
flatwoods salamander depends upon for food, shelter, and protection 
from the elements and predation;
    (c) has an organic hardpan in the soil profile, which inhibits 
subsurface water penetration and typically results in moist soils with 
water often at or near the surface under normal conditions; and
    (d) often has wiregrasses as the dominant grasses in the abundant 
herbaceous ground cover, which supports the rich herbivorous 
invertebrates that serve as a food source for the flatwoods salamander.
    3. Dispersal habitat. Upland habitat areas between non-breeding and 
breeding habitat that allows for salamander movement between such sites 
and that is characterized by:
    (a) a mix of vegetation types representing a transition between 
wetland and upland vegetation (ecotone);
    (b) an open canopy and abundant native herbaceous species; and
    (c) moist soils as described in PCE 2, and underground structure, 
such as deep litter cover or burrows that provide shelter for 
salamanders during seasonal movements.
    This proposed designation is designed for the conservation of those 
areas containing PCEs necessary to support the life history functions 
that were the basis for the proposal. Each of the areas proposed as 
critical habitat in this rule have been determined to contain all PCEs 
of the flatwoods salamander.

Criteria Used To Identify Critical Habitat

    As required by section 4(b)(1)(A) of the Act, we used the best 
scientific data available in determining areas that contain the 
features that are essential to the conservation of the flatwoods 
salamander. This includes information from the proposed listing rule 
(62 FR 65787), final listing rule (64 FR 15691), site visits, soil and 
species map coverages, and data compiled in the Florida, Georgia, and 
South Carolina Natural Heritage databases. We propose to designate no 
areas outside the geographical area presently occupied by the species.
    We have also reviewed available information that pertains to the 
habitat requirements of this species. This material included data in 
reports submitted by biologists holding section 10(a)(1)(A) permits; 
research published in peer-reviewed scientific publications; museum 
records, technical reports and unpublished field observations by 
Service, State, and other experienced biologists; management plans 
written by State biologists; State grant reports; additional notes and 
communications with qualified biologists or experts; and regional GIS 
coverages.
    In proposing to designate critical habitat for the flatwoods 
salamander, we selected areas occupied at the time of listing based on 
the best scientific data available that possess those physical and 
biological features essential to the conservation of the species that 
may require special management considerations or protection. In 
addition, we included two areas subsequently identified as occupied and 
essential to the conservation of the species. We found that the two 
newer (post-listing) occurrence records were in close proximity to 
areas already known to support the flatwoods salamander. We identified 
proposed critical habitat units that were occupied at the time of 
listing based on: (1) Presence of the defined PCEs; (2) density of 
flatwoods salamander occurrences; and (3) kind, amount, and quality of 
habitat associated with those occurrences. We identified proposed 
critical habitat units that were not occupied at the time of listing 
based on: (1) Density of flatwoods salamander occurrences; (2) kind, 
amount, and quality of habitat associated with those occurrences; and 
(3) a determination that these areas are essential to the conservation 
of the species.
    According to Ashton (1992), flatwoods salamanders have been 
documented up to 5,576 ft (1,700 m) from breeding ponds. However, in 
the final listing rule, we determined that a radius of 1,476 ft (450 m) 
from the wetland edge would protect the majority of the salamander 
population (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 1999, p. 15697). Thus, the 
radius of 450 m was used to delineate critical habitat boundaries 
around breeding ponds, and proposed critical habitat areas separated by 
over 450 m were considered separate units or subunits.
    We considered the following criteria in the selection of areas that 
contain the essential features for the flatwoods salamander and focused 
on designating units: (1) Throughout the current geographic and 
ecological distribution of the species; (2) that retain or provide

[[Page 5861]]

for connectivity between breeding sites that allows for the continued 
existence of viable and essential metapopulations (populations at 
individual ponds that interbreed over time), despite fluctuations in 
the status of subpopulations; (3) that possess large continuous blocks 
of occupied habitat, representing source populations and/or unique 
ecological characteristics; and (4) that contain sufficient upland 
habitat around each breeding location to allow for sufficient survival 
and recruitment to maintain a breeding population over the long term. 
The lands proposed as critical habitat collectively contain small, and 
in some cases, isolated, populations of the species. These small 
populations are at a high risk of extinction due to stochastic events 
and human-induced threats such as urban/agricultural development and 
habitat degradation due to fire suppression and hydrological 
alterations. Thus, we believe all lands proposed as critical habitat 
are essential for the persistence and conservation of the flatwoods 
salamander and meet the criteria as set forth above.
    We used the final listing rule to establish those areas occupied at 
the time of listing. All other areas proposed for critical habitat 
designation were based on occupancy data collected since listing. The 
currently occupied habitat of the flatwoods salamander is highly 
localized and fragmented. Due to several drought events, post-listing 
observations of salamanders have been made at breeding ponds in only a 
small portion of their occupied range and no population estimates are 
currently available. As with many rare species, especially pond-
breeding amphibians with fossorial adult life stages, detection 
probabilities are low even in ``normal'' weather years (Bailey et al. 
2004, p. 2463-2464). Flatwoods salamanders are particularly susceptible 
to drought, as breeding cannot occur if breeding ponds do not receive 
adequate rainfall. We know that isolated populations, including those 
of the flatwoods salamander, are highly susceptible to stochastic 
events. Thus, we have determined that all but one of the areas occupied 
at the time of listing contain the features essential to the 
conservation of the species and that the two units occupied since the 
time of listing are essential to the conservation of the species.
    All occurrence records for sites currently known to be occupied, 
typically a breeding pond, were initially plotted on maps using ArcMap 
(Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc.), a computer GIS 
program. The critical habitat units were then delineated by creating 
approximate areas for the units by screen-digitizing polygons (map 
units) using ArcMap. For ease of application in creating polygons, the 
original 1,476 ft (450 m) radius estimate used to generate the habitat 
occupied by a flatwoods salamander population was rounded up to 1,500 
ft (457 m). Polygons were created by overlaying the flatwoods 
salamander occurrence locations, extant-at-time-of-listing and 
subsequent-to-listing, with radius buffers of 1,500 ft (457 m). The 
area circumscribed by a circle of this radius would be 162 ac (66 ha) 
and this area was used as a starting point to delineate the amount of 
wetland and upland habitat occupied by salamanders at each occurrence 
and containing the features essential to their conservation (PCEs).
    Once the polygons were completed, they were overlaid on aerial 
photography. The aerial photography was analyzed to verify the 
occurrence of PCEs and their distribution within the polygons. Research 
on ambystomatid salamanders indicates that they need high terrestrial 
survival or immigration to persist (Taylor et al. 2005, p. 799). Thus, 
a flatwoods salamander population requires a sufficient amount of 
terrestrial habitat to ensure survival of adults in upland habitat, or 
immigration of juveniles to the population is needed from nearby 
breeding ponds. For this reason, if metapopulation structure was 
indicated by polygons which overlapped or were in immediate proximity 
to each other, polygons were combined to create areas containing 
multiple ponds connected to each other by upland habitat corridors. 
Additionally, we adjusted individual unit boundaries based on presence 
or absence of the PCEs.
    When determining proposed critical habitat boundaries, we made 
every effort to avoid including developed areas such as buildings, 
paved areas, and other structures that lack PCEs for the flatwoods 
salamander. The scale of the maps prepared under the parameters for 
publication within the Code of Federal Regulations may not reflect the 
exclusion of such developed areas. However, any such structures and the 
land under them inadvertently left inside critical habitat boundaries 
shown on the maps of this proposed rule have been excluded by text in 
the proposed rule and are not proposed for designation as critical 
habitat. Therefore, Federal actions limited to these areas would not 
trigger section 7 consultation, unless they affect the species or 
primary constituent elements in adjacent critical habitat.
    We are proposing to designate critical habitat on lands that we 
have determined were occupied at the time of listing and that contain 
sufficient PCEs to support life history functions essential for the 
conservation of the species. In addition we are proposing to designate 
two areas that were not known to be occupied at the time of listing 
(they occur within the same geographical area and were discovered after 
1999), and have been determined to be essential to the conservation of 
the species. All lands proposed for designation contain all PCEs and 
support multiple flatwoods salamander life processes.
    Section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Act authorizes us to issue permits for 
the take of listed species incidental to otherwise lawful activities. 
An incidental take permit application must be supported by a habitat 
conservation plan (HCP) that identifies conservation measures that the 
permittee agrees to implement to minimize and mitigate the impacts on 
the species by the requested incidental take. We often exclude non-
Federal public lands and private lands that are covered by an existing 
operative HCP from designated critical habitat because the benefits of 
exclusion outweigh the benefits of inclusion as discussed in section 
4(b)(2) of the Act. Currently, there are no existing or proposed HCPs 
for the flatwoods salamander, and as a result no exclusions are being 
proposed based on such an analysis.

Special Management Considerations or Protections

    When designating critical habitat, we assess whether the areas 
determined to be occupied at the time of listing and contain the 
primary constituent elements that may require special management 
considerations or protections. Threats to those features that define 
the primary constituent elements for the flatwoods salamander include 
the direct and indirect impacts of land use conversions, primarily 
urban development and conversion to agriculture and pine plantations; 
stump removal and other soil-disturbing activities which destroy the 
below-ground structure within forest soils; fire suppression and low 
fire frequencies; wetland destruction and degradation; and stochastic 
effects of drought or floods. Specific details regarding these threats 
can be found in the proposed listing rule (62 FR 65787) and final 
listing rule (64 FR 15691). Due to one or more of the threats described 
above, and as discussed in more detail in the individual unit 
descriptions below, we find that all areas known to be occupied

[[Page 5862]]

at the time of listing that we are proposing for designation as 
critical habitat contain PCEs that may require special management 
considerations or protections to ensure the conservation of the 
flatwoods salamander.

Proposed Critical Habitat Designation

    We are proposing 16 flatwoods salamander critical habitat units, 
some of which are divided into subunits (for a total 45 units/
subunits). The critical habitat units described below constitute our 
best current assessment of areas determined to be occupied at the time 
of listing containing the primary constituent elements that may require 
special management, and those additional areas that were not known to 
be occupied at the time of listing but were found to be essential to 
the conservation of the flatwoods salamander.

    The total area with features essential to the conservation of the 
flatwoods salamander and other areas essential for the species' 
conservation is 43,202 ac (17, 484 ha). Of this, 31,428 ac (12,719 ha) 
are being proposed for critical habitat. The total area not proposed 
for critical habitat is 11,774 ac (4,765 ha). This includes 9,867 ac

    We present below brief descriptions of all units, and reasons why 
they meet the definition of critical habitat for the flatwoods 
salamander, including reasons why these PCEs require special management 
considerations or protections. Generally, the units are listed in order 
geographically west to east and south to north. The precise boundaries 
of each unit are described below as UTM coordinates (see Proposed 
Regulation Promulgation section).

Florida Critical Habitat Units (FL)

    There are 12 Florida units, some of which are further subdivided 
into subunits (for a total of 38 units/subunits), comprising 29,689 ac 
(12,015 ha) across 11 counties of Florida. All units/subunits meet the 
definition of critical habitat based on the discussion above and all 
units contain all PCEs or for those units not occupied at listing, are 
essential to the conservation of the species. Of these, 36 units/
subunits (28,122 ac (11,381 ha)) were known to be occupied at the time 
of listing and are currently occupied and two subunits (FL-9, Subunit I 
and FL-9, Subunit J), comprising 1,567 ac (634 ha), were not known to 
be occupied at the time of listing, but are currently occupied. The two 
subunits found to be occupied since listing are essential for the 
conservation of the species as they exist as part of a matrix of ponds 
within and adjacent to the Apalachicola National Forest, and their loss 
would negatively affect the long-term survival of this metapopulation, 
which is the largest existing metapopulation and is vital to the 
recovery of the species.
    The western- and southern-most known occurrences of the flatwoods 
salamander are represented by populations in Florida.
Unit FL-1
    Unit FL-1 is comprised of two subunits totaling 352 ac (143 ha) on 
Garcon Point in Santa Rosa County, Florida. Within FL-1, 180 acres (73 
ha) consist of State land in the Garcon Point Water Management Area 
managed by the Northwest Florida Water Management District (NWFLWMD), 
133 ac (54 ha) are on the Yellow River Marsh State Buffer Preserve 
(managed in part by the State of Florida/Department of Environmental 
Protection), 35 ac (14 ha) are in private ownership, and 4 ac (2 ha) 
are owned by the Santa Rosa Bay Bridge Authority.
Unit FL-1, Subunit A
    Unit FL-1, Subunit A encompasses 190 ac (77 ha) on Garcon Point in 
Santa Rosa County, Florida. Garcon Point is a peninsula that extends 
into an embayment of the Gulf of Mexico near Pensacola, Florida. Within 
this unit, 180 acres (73 ha) consist of State land in the Garcon Point 
Water Management Area managed by the Northwest Florida Water Management 
District (NWFLWMD), 6 ac (2 ha) are in private ownership, and 4 ac (2 
ha) are owned by the Santa Rosa Bay Bridge Authority. This currently 
occupied unit is located adjacent to Hwy. 191 within an extensive wet 
prairie. Since the majority of this currently occupied unit is owned by 
NWFLWMD, it is likely protected from direct agricultural and urban 
development; however, threats remain to the flatwoods salamander and 
its habitat that may require special management of the PCEs. They 
include the potential for fire suppression and potential hydrologic 
changes resulting from the adjacent highway that could alter the 
ecology of the breeding pond and surrounding terrestrial habitat. 
Ditches associated with highways can drain water from a site and result 
in ponds with shorter hydroperiods and drier terrestrial habitat. 
Alternatively, ditches can connect isolated wetlands with permanent 
water sites that increase the hydroperiod of ponds and facilitate the 
introduction of predaceous fish into breeding ponds. In addition, run-
off from highways can introduce toxic chemicals into breeding sites.
Subunit B
    Unit FL-1, Subunit B encompasses 162 ac (66 ha) in Santa Rosa

occupied at the time of listing, but is currently occupied. It is 
considered essential habitat for the flatwoods salamander. The 
currently occupied habitat of the flatwoods salamander is highly 
localized and fragmented. Flatwoods salamanders are particularly 
susceptible to drought, as breeding cannot occur if breeding ponds do 
not receive adequate rainfall. These small populations are at a high 
risk of extinction due to stochastic events such as drought, and human-
induced threats such as urban/agricultural development and habitat 
degradation due to fire suppression and hydrological alterations. Thus, 
to ensure the persistence and conservation of this species throughout

    Unit FL-12, Subunit A encompasses 1,109 ac (449 ha) on Osceola 
National Forest in Baker County, Florida. This currently occupied unit 
is located adjacent and south of Interstate 10 in the southwestern 
corner of Baker County between state highway 250 and 229. Since it is 
owned by the U.S. Forest Service, it is likely protected from direct 
agricultural and urban development; however, threats remain to the 
flatwoods salamander and its habitat that may require special 
management of the PCEs. They include the potential for fire 
suppression, potential detrimental alterations in forestry practices 
that could destroy the below-ground soil structure, and potential 
hydrologic changes resulting from adjacent highways and roads that 
could alter the ecology of the breeding pond and surrounding 
terrestrial habitat.
Subunit B
    Unit FL-12, Subunit B encompasses 162 ac (66 ha) on private land in 
Baker County, Florida. This currently occupied unit occurs 
approximately 2 mi (3.2 km) south of Hwy. 229 and 3.5 mi (5.6 km) north 
of Interstate 10. Threats to the flatwoods salamander and its habitat 
that may require special management of the PCEs include the potential 
for fire suppression, potential detrimental alterations in forestry 
practices that could destroy the below-ground soil structure, and 
potential hydrologic changes resulting from adjacent highways and roads 
that could alter the ecology of the breeding pond and surrounding 
terrestrial habitat.
Georgia Critical Habitat Units (GA)
    There is one Georgia unit, divided into three subunits encompassing 
609 ac (247 ha) across two counties of Georgia. All subunits meet the 
definition of critical habitat based on the discussion above and all 
units contain all PCEs. All subunits were known to be occupied at the 
time of listing and are currently occupied.
Unit GA-1
    Unit GA-1 encompasses 609 ac (247 ha) in Miller and Baker Counties,

Management Area (managed by the State of Georgia) in Miller County, 
Georgia. Threats to the flatwoods salamander and its habitat that may 
require special management of the PCEs include the potential for fire 
suppression, potential detrimental alterations in forestry practices 
that could destroy the below-ground soil structure, and potential 
hydrologic changes resulting from adjacent highways and roads that 
could alter the ecology of the breeding pond and surrounding 
terrestrial habitat.
Subunit B
    Unit GA-1, Subunit B encompasses 269 ac (109 ha) on private land 
adjacent to State Highway 200 in southwestern Baker County, Georgia. 
Threats to the flatwoods salamander and its habitat that may require 
special management of the PCEs include the potential for fire 
suppression, potential detrimental alterations in forestry practices 
that could destroy the below-ground soil structure, and potential 
hydrologic changes resulting from adjacent highways and roads that 
could alter the ecology of the breeding pond and surrounding 
terrestrial habitat.
Subunit C
    Unit GA-1, Subunit C encompasses 177 ac (72 ha) on private land 
south of State Highway 200 in southwestern Baker County, Georgia. 
Threats to the flatwoods salamander and its habitat that may require 
special management of the PCEs include the potential for fire 
suppression, potential detrimental alterations in forestry practices 
that could destroy the below-ground soil structure, and potential 
hydrologic changes resulting from adjacent highways and roads that 
could alter the ecology of the breeding pond and surrounding 
terrestrial habitat.
South Carolina Critical Habitat Units (SC)
    There are four South Carolina units encompassing 1,130 ac (457 ha) 
across three counties of South Carolina. All units meet the definition 
of critical

[[Page 5869]]

habitat based on the discussion above and all units contain all PCEs. 
All units were known to be occupied at the time of listing and are 
currently occupied. The northern-most known occurrences of the 
flatwoods salamander are represented by populations in South Carolina.
Unit SC-1
    Unit SC-1 encompasses 163 ac (66 ha) on private land in Jasper 
County, South Carolina. This currently occupied unit is bisected by 
Hwy. 46 and occurs near a rapidly developing area of Jasper County. 
Threats to the flatwoods salamander and its habitat that may require 
special management of the PCEs include the potential for fire 
suppression, potential detrimental alterations in forestry practices 
that could destroy the below-ground soils structure, potential 
hydrologic changes resulting from adjacent roads that could alter the 
ecology of the breeding pond and surrounding terrestrial habitat, and 
future habitat destruction due to urban and commercial development.
Unit SC-2
    Unit SC-2 encompasses 183 acres (74 ha) on private land in Jasper 
County, South Carolina. This currently occupied unit is bisected by 
County Road 31, approximately 1 mi (1.6 km) from U.S. Hwy. 321 at 
Hardeeville, South Carolina. Threats to the flatwoods salamander and 
its habitat that may require special management of the PCEs include the 
potential for fire suppression, potential detrimental alterations in 
forestry practices that could destroy the below-ground soils structure, 
potential hydrologic changes resulting from adjacent roads that could 
alter the ecology of the breeding pond and surrounding terrestrial 
habitat, and future habitat destruction due to urban and commercial 
development.
Unit SC-3
    Unit SC-3 encompasses 622 ac (252 ha) on Francis Marion National 
Forest in Berkeley County, South Carolina. Land within this unit is 
owned by the U.S. Forest Service and is likely protected from direct 
agricultural and urban development; however, threats remain to the 
flatwoods salamander and its habitat that may require special 
management of the PCEs. They include the potential for fire 
suppression, potential detrimental alterations in forestry practices 
that could destroy the below-ground soil structure, and potential 
hydrologic changes resulting from adjacent highways and roads that 
could alter the ecology of the breeding pond and surrounding 
terrestrial habitat.
Unit SC-4
    Unit SC-4 encompasses 162 ac (66 ha) on the Santee Coastal Reserve 
(managed by the state of South Carolina) in Charleston County, South 
Carolina. Since this currently occupied unit is owned by the State of 
South Carolina, it is likely protected from direct agricultural and 
urban development; however, threats remain to the flatwoods salamander 
and its habitat that may require special management of the PCEs. They 
include the potential for fire suppression, potential detrimental 
alterations in forestry practices that could destroy the below-ground 
soil structure, and potential hydrologic changes resulting from 
adjacent highways and roads that could alter the ecology of the 
breeding pond and surrounding terrestrial habitat.

Effects of Critical Habitat Designation

Section 7 Consultation

    Section 7 of the Act requires Federal agencies, including the 
Service, to ensure that actions they fund, authorize, or carry out are 
not likely to destroy or adversely modify critical habitat. In our 
regulations at 50 CFR 402.02, we define destruction or adverse 
modification as ``a direct or indirect alteration that appreciably 
diminishes the value of critical habitat for both the survival and 
recovery of a listed species. Such alterations include, but are not 
limited to, alterations adversely modifying any of those physical or 
biological features that were the basis for determining the habitat to 
be critical.'' However, recent decisions by the 5th and 9th Circuit 
Courts of Appeals have invalidated this definition (see Gifford Pinchot 
Task Force v. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 378 F.3d 1059 (9th Cir 
2004) and Sierra Club v. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service et al., 245 
F.3d 434, 442F (5th Cir 2001)). Pursuant to current national policy and 
the statutory provisions of the Act, destruction or adverse 
modification is determined on the basis of whether, with implementation 
of the proposed Federal action, the affected critical habitat would 
remain functional (or retain the current ability for the primary 
constituent elements to be functionally established) to serve the 
intended conservation role for the species.
    Section 7(a) of the Act requires Federal agencies, including the 
Service, to evaluate their actions with respect to any species that is 
proposed or listed as endangered or threatened and with respect to its 
critical habitat, if any is proposed or designated. Regulations 
implementing this interagency cooperation provision of the Act are 
codified at 50 CFR part 402.
    Section 7(a)(4) of the Act requires Federal agencies to confer with 
us on any action that is likely to jeopardize the continued existence 
of a proposed species or result in destruction or adverse modification 
of proposed critical habitat. This is a procedural requirement only. 
However, once a proposed species becomes listed, or proposed critical 
habitat is designated as final, the full prohibitions of section 
7(a)(2) apply to any Federal action. The primary utility of the 
conference procedures is to maximize the opportunity for a Federal 
agency to adequately consider proposed species and critical habitat and 
avoid potential delays in implementing its proposed action as a result 
of the section 7(a)(2) compliance process, should those species be 
listed or the critical habitat designated.
    Under conference procedures, the Service may provide advisory 
conservation recommendations to assist the agency in eliminating 
conflicts that may be caused by the proposed action. The Service may 
conduct either informal or formal conferences. Informal conferences are 
typically used if the proposed action is not likely to have any adverse 
effects to the proposed species or proposed critical habitat. Formal 
conferences are typically used when the Federal agency or the Service 
believes the proposed action is likely to cause adverse effects to 
proposed species or critical habitat, inclusive of those that may cause 
jeopardy or adverse modification.
    The results of an informal conference are typically transmitted in 
a conference report while the results of a formal conference are 
typically transmitted in a conference opinion. Conference opinions on 
proposed critical habitat are typically prepared according to 50 CFR 
402.14, as if the proposed critical habitat were already designated. We 
may adopt the conference opinion as the biological opinion when the 
critical habitat is designated, if no substantial new information or 
changes in the action alter the content of the opinion (see 50 CFR 
402.10(d)). As noted above, any conservation recommendations in a 
conference report or opinion are strictly advisory.
    If a species is listed or critical habitat is designated, section 
7(a)(2) of the Act requires Federal agencies to ensure that activities 
they authorize, fund, or carry out are not likely to jeopardize the 
continued existence of such a species or to destroy or adversely modify 
its critical habitat. If a Federal action may

[[Page 5870]]

affect a listed species or its critical habitat, the responsible 
Federal agency (action agency) must enter into consultation with us. As 
a result of this consultation, compliance with the requirements of 
section 7(a)(2) will be documented through the Service's issuance of: 
(1) A concurrence letter for Federal actions that may affect, but are 
not likely to adversely affect, listed species or critical habitat; or 
(2) a biological opinion for Federal actions that may affect, and are 
likely to adversely affect, listed species or critical habitat.
    When we issue a biological opinion concluding that a project is 
likely to result in jeopardy to a listed species or the destruction or 
adverse modification of critical habitat, we also provide reasonable 
and prudent alternatives to the project, if any are identifiable. 
``Reasonable and prudent alternatives'' are defined at 50 CFR 402.02 as 
alternative actions identified during consultation that can be 
implemented in a manner consistent with the intended purpose of the 
action, that are consistent with the scope of the Federal agency's 
legal authority and jurisdiction, that are economically and 
technologically feasible, and that the Director believes would avoid 
jeopardy to the listed species or destruction or adverse modification 
of critical habitat. Reasonable and prudent alternatives can vary from 
slight project modifications to extensive redesign or relocation of the 
project. Costs associated with implementing a reasonable and prudent 
alternative are similarly variable.
    Regulations at 50 CFR 402.16 require Federal agencies to reinitiate 
consultation on previously reviewed actions in instances where a new 
species is listed or critical habitat is subsequently designated that 
may be affected and the Federal agency has retained discretionary 
involvement or control over the action or such discretionary 
involvement or control is authorized by law. Consequently, some Federal 
agencies may request reinitiation of consultation with us on actions 
for which formal consultation has been completed, if those actions may 
affect subsequently listed species or designated critical habitat or 
adversely modify or destroy proposed critical habitat.
    Federal activities that may affect the flatwoods salamander or its 
designated critical habitat will require section 7 consultation under 
the Act. Activities on State, Tribal, local or private lands requiring 
a Federal permit (such as a permit from the Corps under section 404 of 
the Clean Water Act or a permit under section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Act 
from the Service) or involving some other Federal action (such as 
funding from the Federal Highway Administration, Federal Aviation 
Administration, or the Federal Emergency Management Agency) will also 
be subject to the section 7 consultation process. Federal actions not 
affecting listed species or critical habitat, and actions on State, 
Tribal, local or private lands that are not federally funded, 
authorized, or permitted, do not require section 7 consultations.

Application of the Jeopardy and Adverse Modification Standards for 
Actions Involving Effects to the Flatwoods Salamander and Its Critical 
Habitat

Jeopardy Standard
    Prior to the proposed designation of critical habitat, the Service 
has applied an analytical framework for flatwoods salamander jeopardy 
analyses that relies heavily on the importance of populations to the 
survival and recovery of the flatwoods salamander. The section 7(a)(2) 
analysis is focused not only on these populations but also on the 
habitat conditions necessary to support them.
    The jeopardy analysis usually expresses the survival and recovery 
needs of the flatwoods salamander in a qualitative fashion without 
making distinctions between what is necessary for survival and what is 
necessary for recovery. Generally, if a proposed Federal action is 
incompatible with the viability of the affected core area 
population(s), inclusive of associated habitat conditions, a jeopardy 
finding is warranted because of the relationship of each core area 
population to the survival and recovery of the species as a whole.
Adverse Modification Standard
    For the reasons described in the Director's December 9, 2004, 
memorandum, the key factor related to the adverse modification 
determination is whether, with implementation of the proposed Federal 
action, the affected critical habitat would remain functional (or 
retain the current ability for the primary constituent elements to be 
functionally established) to serve the intended conservation role for 
the species. Generally, the conservation role of flatwoods salamander 
critical habitat units is to support viable core area populations.
    Section 4(b)(8) of the Act requires us to briefly evaluate and 
describe in any proposed or final regulation that designates critical 
habitat those activities involving a Federal action that may destroy or 
adversely modify such habitat, or that may be affected by such 
designation. Activities that may destroy or adversely modify critical 
habitat may also jeopardize the continued existence of the species.
    Activities that may destroy or adversely modify critical habitat 
are those that alter the PCEs to an extent that the conservation value 
of critical habitat for the flatwoods salamander is appreciably 
reduced. Activities that, when carried out, funded, or authorized by a 
Federal agency, may affect critical habitat and therefore result in 
consultation for the flatwoods salamander include, but are not limited 
to:
    (1) Actions that would significantly alter water chemistry in 
flatwoods salamander breeding ponds. Such activities could include, but 
are not limited to, the release of chemicals, biological pollutants, or 
sedimentation into the surface water or connected groundwater at a 
point source or by dispersed release (non-point source) via road 
construction, urban and agricultural development, ditching, timber 
harvest, off-road vehicle use, and other watershed disturbances. These 
activities could alter the condition of the water beyond the tolerances 
of the flatwoods salamander and its food base, resulting in direct or 
cumulative adverse affects to individuals and their life cycles.
    (2) Actions that would significantly alter the hydroperiod and 
vegetation of a flatwoods salamander breeding pond. Such activities 
could include, but are not limited to, road construction, urban and 
agricultural development, dredging, ditching, or filling ponds, fire 
suppression, and timber harvest/replanting. These activities could 
alter the hydrologic timing, duration, or water flows of a pond basin, 
as well as alter the constituent vegetation. They could also increase 
the connectivity of breeding ponds to more permanent waters, which 
would allow the invasion of predatory fish. As a result, the habitat 
necessary for flatwoods salamander reproduction and the growth and 
development of eggs and juvenile salamanders would be reduced or 
eliminated.
    (3) Actions that would significantly alter the terrestrial forested 
habitat of the flatwoods salamander. Such activities could include, but 
are not limited to, road construction, urban and agricultural 
development, dredging, ditching, fire suppression, and timber harvest/
re-planting. These activities may lead to changes in soil moisture, 
soil below-ground structure, soil temperatures, and vegetation that 
would

[[Page 5871]]

degrade or eliminate the terrestrial habitat of the flatwoods 
salamander.
    We consider all of the units proposed as critical habitat, as well 
as those that have been proposed for exclusion or not included, to 
contain features essential to the conservation of the flatwoods 
salamander. All units are within the geographic range of the species, 
all were occupied by the species at the time of or since listing (based 
on observations made within the last 9 years), and are likely to be 
used by the flatwoods salamander. Federal agencies already consult with 
us on activities in areas currently occupied by the flatwoods 
salamander, or if the species may be affected by the action, to ensure 
that their actions do not jeopardize the continued existence of the 
flatwoods salamander.

Application of Section 3(5)(A) and 4(a)(3) and Exclusions Under Section 
4(b)(2) of the Act

Application of Section 3(5)(A)
    Section 3(5)(A) of the Act defines critical habitat as the specific 
areas within the geographic area occupied by the species on which are 
found those physical and biological features (i) essential to the 
conservation of the species, and (ii) which may require special 
management considerations or protection. Therefore, areas within the 
geographic area occupied by the species that do not contain the 
features essential to the conservation of the species are not, by 
definition, critical habitat. Similarly, areas within the geographic 
area occupied by the species that require no special management or 
protection also are not, by definition, critical habitat.
    There are multiple ways to provide management for species habitat. 
Statutory and regulatory frameworks that exist at a local level can 
provide such protection and management, as can lack of pressure for 
change, such as areas too remote for anthropogenic disturbance. 
Finally, State, local, or private management plans, as well as 
management under Federal agencies jurisdictions, can provide protection 
and management to avoid the need for designation of critical habitat. 
When we consider a plan to determine its adequacy in protecting 
habitat, we consider whether the plan as a whole will provide the same 
level of protection that designation of critical habitat would provide. 
The plan need not lead to exactly the same result as a designation in 
every individual application, as long as the protection it provides is 
equivalent overall. In making this determination, we examine whether 
the plan provides management, protection, or enhancement of the PCEs 
that is at least equivalent to that provided by a critical habitat 
designation, and whether there is a reasonable expectation that the 
management, protection, or enhancement actions will continue into the 
foreseeable future. Each review is particular to the species and the 
plan, and some plans may be adequate for some species and inadequate 
for others.
Application of Section 3(5)(A)--St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge
    Approximately 1,907 ac (778 ha) on St. Marks National Wildlife 
Refuge (Refuge) in Florida have features essential to the conservation 
of the flatwoods salamander.
    The Refuge finalized its Comprehensive Conservation Plan (CCP) in 
August 2006. This document details proposed conservation actions for 
the Refuge over a 15-year period and outlines an objective specifically 
addressing the species (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 2006, p. 50, 56, 
79, 81, 91). This objective consists of strategies to identify 
flatwoods salamander distribution and habitat on the refuge and 
implement appropriate habitat management. Many other objectives (e.g., 
eradication or control of terrestrial exotic and invasive animals) will 
also benefit the flatwoods salamander. The Service has a statutory 
mandate to manage the Refuge for the conservation of listed species, 
and the CCP provides a detailed implementation plan. We believe that 
the CCP provides a substantial conservation benefit to the species, and 
there are assurances that it will be implemented properly and in an 
effective fashion within portions of the Refuge with habitat that 
contains the features essential to the conservation of the flatwoods 
salamander. Accordingly, we believe that these portions of the Refuge 
do not meet the definition of critical habitat under section 3(5)(A) of 
the Act because a secure management plan is already in place to provide 
for the conservation of the flatwoods salamander, and no special 
management or protection will be required.
Application of Section 4(a)(3)
    The Sikes Act Improvement Act of 1997 (Sikes Act) (16 U.S.C. 670a) 
required each military installation that includes land and water 
suitable for the conservation and management of natural resources to 
complete, by November 17, 2001, an Integrated Natural Resource 
Management Plan (INRMP). An INRMP integrates implementation of the 
military mission of the installation with stewardship of the natural 
resources found on the base. Each INRMP includes an assessment of the 
ecological needs on the installation, including the need to provide for 
the conservation of listed species; a statement of goals and 
priorities; a detailed description of management actions to be 
implemented to provide for these ecological needs; and a monitoring and 
adaptive management plan. Among other things, each INRMP must, to the 
extent appropriate and applicable, provide for fish and wildlife 
management, fish and wildlife habitat enhancement or modification, 
wetland protection, enhancement, and restoration where necessary to 
support fish and wildlife and enforcement of applicable natural 
resource laws.
    The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2004 (Public 
Law No. 108-136) amended the Act to limit areas eligible for 
designation as critical habitat. Specifically, section 4(a)(3)(B)(i) of 
the Act (16 U.S.C. 1533(a)(3)(B)(i)) now provides: ``The Secretary 
shall not designate as critical habitat any lands or other geographical 
areas owned or controlled by the Department of Defense, or designated 
for its use, that are subject to an integrated natural resources 
management plan prepared under section 101 of the Sikes Act (16 U.S.C. 
670a), if the Secretary determines in writing that such plan provides a 
benefit to the species for which critical habitat is proposed for 
designation.''
    We consult with the military on the development and implementation 
of INRMPs for installations with listed species. The Service reviewed 
each of the INRMPs described below prior to their finalization and has 
provided input into strategies for monitoring and management of 
endangered species including the flatwoods salamander. Each military 
facility has been conducting surveys and habitat management to benefit 
the flatwoods salamander and reporting the results of their efforts to 
the Service. Cooperation between the military facilities and the 
Service continues and the goal of our efforts is to implement an annual 
review cycle for all INRMPs. INRMPs developed by military installations 
located within the range of the proposed critical habitat designation 
for the flatwoods salamander were analyzed for exemption under the 
authority of 4(a)(3) of the Act.
    Based on the above considerations, and in accordance with section 
4(a)(3)(B)(i) of the Act, we have determined that conservation efforts 
identified in the INRMPs will provide benefits to the flatwoods 
salamander occurring in habitats within or adjacent to Whiting Field's 
Out-Lying Landing

[[Page 5872]]

Field Holley (290 ac (117 ha)), Eglin Air Force Base (3,191 ac (1,291 
ha)), and Hurlburt Field in Florida (1,103 ac (446 ha)); and Townsend 
Bombing Range (162 ac (66 ha)) and Fort Stewart Military Installation 
in Georgia (5,121 ac (2,072 ha)). In total, this accounts for 
approximately 9,867 ac (3,993 ha) of habitat on these installations 
that is not included in this proposed critical habitat designation 
under to section 4(a)(3) of the Act. Following is an installation-by-
installation discussion of the applicability of section 4(a)(3).
Application of Section 4(a)(3) of the Act--Whiting Field's Out-Lying 
Landing Field Holley (Holley Field)
    Holley Field is located in Santa Rosa County, Florida, and has 
approximately 290 ac (117 ha) of habitat with features essential to the 
conservation of the flatwoods salamander. The U.S. Department of the 
Navy (DoN) drafted a revision of its 2001 INRMP for Naval Air Station 
Whiting Field Complex, of which Holley Field is a part, in 2006 (DoN 
2006, p. 5-68, 5-70, 5-73, 5-76, 5-77, 6-22, 6-23, A-16). The revised 
INRMP outlines management for the next 10 years (2007-2016). We have 
examined this document and determined that it does provide conservation 
measures for the flatwoods salamander, as well as for the management of 
important wetland and upland habitats at Holley Field. The area of 
Holley Field where flatwoods salamander habitat is located has been 
designated as a Protected Area. The INRMP outlines a Special Management 
Initiative for the flatwoods salamander which includes a prescribed 
burning program, strategies to identify salamander distribution and 
habitat, controlling invasive species, enforcing restrictions on off-
road vehicle use, and forestry management consistent with 
recommendations in the final listing rule (64 FR 15691).
    Based on the above considerations, and consistent with the 
direction provided in section 4(a)(3)B)(i) of the Act, we have 
determined that conservation identified in the INRMP will provide 
benefits to the flatwoods salamander and the features essential to the 
species' conservation occurring on Whiting Field's Out-Lying Landing 
Field Holley. Therefore, approximately 290 ac (117 ha) of habitat with 
features essential to the conservation of the flatwoods salamander 
within Whiting Field's Out-Lying Landing Field Holley are exempt from 
this proposed designation of critical habitat for the flatwoods 
salamander under section 4(a)(3) of the Act.
Hurlburt Field
    Hurlburt Field is located in Okaloosa County, Florida, and has 
approximately 1,103 ac (446 ha) of habitat with features essential to 
the conservation of the flatwoods salamander. The U.S. Department of 
the Defense and Air Force (DoD) completed an INRMP for Hurlburt Field 
in 2001 (DoD 2001, p. 37, 40, 51). The INRMP covers a period of 10 
years. We have examined this document and determined that it does 
provide conservation measures for the flatwoods salamander, as well as 
for the management of important wetland and upland habitats at Hurlburt 
Field. The INRMP outlines goals and objectives for the flatwoods 
salamander and its habitat which include a prescribed burning program, 
strategies to identify and monitor salamander distribution and habitat, 
controlling invasive species, and forestry management consistent with 
recommendations in the final listing rule (64 FR 15691).
    Based on the above considerations, and consistent with the 
direction provided in section 4(a)(3)B)(i) of the Act, we have 
determined that conservation identified in the INRMP will provide 
benefits to the flatwoods salamander and the features essential to the 
species' conservation occurring on Hurlburt Field. Therefore, 
approximately 1,103 ac (446 ha) of habitat with features essential to 
the conservation of the flatwoods salamander within Hurlburt Field is 
exempt from this proposed designation of critical habitat for the 
flatwoods salamander under section 4(a)(3) of the Act.
Eglin Air Force Base (Eglin)
    Eglin is located in Santa Rosa and Okaloosa Counties, Florida, and 
has approximately 3,191 ac (1,291 ha) of habitat with features 
essential to the conservation of the flatwoods salamander. The DoD 
completed its INRMP for Eglin in 2002 (DoD 2002, p. 45. 65, 176). This 
INRMP covers a period of 4 years and is under review for renewal for 
another period of 4 years (2007 through 2011). We have examined this 
document and determined that it does provide conservation measures for 
the flatwoods salamander, as well as for the management of important 
wetland and upland habitats on Eglin. The INRMP outlines a management 
direction for the flatwoods salamander which includes a prescribed 
burning program, strategies to identify and monitor salamander 
distribution and habitat, controlling invasive species, and forestry 
management consistent with recommendations in the final listing rule 
(64 FR 15691).
    Based on the above considerations, and consistent with the 
direction provided in section 4(a)(3)B)(i) of the Act, we have 
determined that conservation identified in the INRMP will provide 
benefits to the flatwoods salamander and the features essential to the 
species' conservation occurring on Eglin Air Force Base. Therefore, 
approximately 3,191 ac (1,291 ha) of habitat with features essential to 
the conservation of the flatwoods salamander within Eglin Air Force 
Base is exempt from this proposed designation of critical habitat for 
the flatwoods salamander under section 4(a)(3) of the Act.
Fort Stewart Military Installation (Fort Stewart)
    Fort Stewart, U.S. Army installation, is located Bryan, Evans, 
Liberty, Long, and Tattnall Counties, Georgia and has approximately 
5,121 ac (2,072 ha) of habitat with features essential to the 
conservation of the flatwoods salamander. The first INRMP (INRMP I) for 
Fort Stewart was completed in 2001 and updated in 2005 (DoD 2005, pp. 
1, 22, 34, 76-77). Each INRMP covers a period of five years with a 
subsequent review and update every five years. Additionally, an annual 
review of management implementation is conducted and, if necessary, the 
INRMP is adapted to address needed improvements. The management 
direction from INRMP I is being continued in the review. We have 
examined this document and determined that it does provide conservation 
measures for the flatwoods salamander, as well as for the management of 
important wetland and upland habitats at Fort Stewart. The INRMP 
outlines management activities to be conducted for the flatwoods 
salamander (DoD 2005, p. 22). These include a prescribed burning 
program, strategies to identify and monitor flatwoods salamander 
distribution and habitat, controlling invasive species, and forestry 
management consistent with recommendations in the final listing rule 
(64 FR 15691).
    Based on the above considerations, and consistent with the 
direction provided in section 4(a)(3)B)(i) of the Act, we have 
determined that conservation identified in the INRMP will provide 
benefits to the flatwoods salamander and the features essential to the 
species' conservation occurring on Fort Stewart Military Installation. 
Therefore, approximately 5,121 ac (2,072 ha) of habitat with features 
essential to the conservation of the

[[Page 5873]]

flatwoods salamander within Fort Stewart Military Installation is 
exempt from this proposed designation of critical habitat for the 
flatwoods salamander under section 4(a)(3) of the Act.
Townsend Bombing Range (Townsend)
    Townsend is located in McIntosh County, Georgia, and contains 
approximately 162 ac (66 ha) of habitat with features essential to the 
conservation of the flatwoods salamander. The property is owned by the 
U.S. Department of the Navy and the land is managed by Marine Corps Air 
Station, Beaufort, South Carolina (MCAS Beaufort). The original INRMP 
written in 2001 for Townsend has been renewed to cover the period 
November 2006 through October 2011 (DoD 2006, pp. ES-1, ES-2, 1-3, 1-8, 
1-9, 1-10, 3-15, 4-4, 4-8, 4-9, 4-10, 4-11, 4-19, 4-20, 4-22, 4-23, 4-
27, 4-28, 4-29). We have examined this document and determined that it 
does provide conservation measures for the flatwoods salamander, as 
well as for the management of important wetland and upland habitats at 
Townsend. The INRMP includes activities to maintain or increase the 
salamander's population on Townsend through improvement of terrestrial 
habitat through use of prescribed fire and improvement of water quality 
and hydrologic regime of the breeding ponds. The INRMP provides 
biological goals and objectives, measures of success, provisions for 
annual monitoring and adaptive management, and provisions for 
reporting. The INRMP outlines projects which would benefit the 
flatwoods salamander including a prescribed burning program, strategies 
to identify and monitor salamander distribution and habitat, 
controlling invasive species, and conducting forestry management 
consistent with recommendations in the final listing rule (64 FR 
15691).
    Based on the above considerations, and consistent with the 
direction provided in section 4(a)(3)B)(i) of the Act, we have 
determined that conservation identified in the INRMP will provide 
benefits to the flatwoods salamander and the features essential to the 
species' conservation occurring on Townsend Bombing Range. Therefore, 
approximately 162 ac (66 ha) of habitat with features essential to the 
conservation of the flatwoods salamander within Townsend Bombing Range 
is exempt from this proposed designation of critical habitat for the 
flatwoods salamander under section 4(a)(3) of the Act.

Exclusions Under Section 4(b)(2) of the Act

    Section 4(b)(2) of the Act states that critical habitat shall be 
designated, and revised, on the basis of the best available scientific 
data after taking into consideration the economic impact, national 
security impact, and any other relevant impact, of specifying any 
particular area as critical habitat. The Secretary may exclude an area 
from critical habitat if he determines that the benefits of such 
exclusion outweigh the benefits of specifying such area as part of the 
critical habitat, unless he determines, based on the best scientific 
data available, that the failure to designate such area as critical 
habitat will result in the extinction of the species. In making that 
determination, the Congressional record is clear that the Secretary is 
afforded broad discretion regarding which factor(s) to use and how much 
weight to give to any factor.
    Under section 4(b)(2), in considering whether to exclude a 
particular area from the designation, we must identify the benefits of 
including the area in the designation, identify the benefits of 
excluding the area from the designation, determine whether the benefits 
of exclusion outweigh the benefits of inclusion. If an exclusion is 
contemplated, then we must determine whether excluding the area would 
result in the extinction of the species. In the following sections, we 
address a number of general issues that are relevant to the exclusions 
we considered. In addition, the Service is conducting an economic 
analysis of the impacts of the proposed critical habitat designation 
and related factors, which will be available for public review and 
comment. Based on public comment on that document, the proposed 
designation itself, and the information in the final economic analysis, 
additional areas beyond those identified in this assessment may be 
excluded from critical habitat by the Secretary under the provisions of 
section 4(b)(2) of the Act. This is provided for in the Act and in our 
implementing regulations at 50 CFR 242.19.

General Principles of Section 7 Consultations Used in the 4(b)(2) 
Balancing Process

    The most direct, and potentially largest, regulatory benefit of 
critical habitat is that federally authorized, funded, or carried out 
activities require consultation under section 7 of the Act to ensure 
that they are not likely to destroy or adversely modify critical 
habitat. There are two limitations to this regulatory effect. First, it 
only applies where there is a Federal nexus--if there is no Federal 
nexus, designation itself does not restrict actions that destroy or 
adversely modify critical habitat. Second, it only limits destruction 
or adverse modification. By its nature, the prohibition on adverse 
modification is designed to ensure those areas that contain the 
physical and biological features essential to the conservation of the 
species or unoccupied areas that are essential to the conservation of 
the species are not eroded. Critical habitat designation alone, 
however, does not require specific steps toward recovery.
    Once consultation under section 7 of the Act is triggered, the 
process may conclude informally when the Service concurs in writing 
that the proposed Federal action is not likely to adversely affect the 
listed species or its critical habitat. However, if the Service 
determines through informal consultation that adverse impacts are 
likely to occur, then formal consultation would be initiated. Formal 
consultation concludes with a biological opinion issued by the Service 
on whether the proposed Federal action is likely to jeopardize the 
continued existence of a listed species or result in destruction or 
adverse modification of critical habitat, with separate analyses being 
made under both the jeopardy and the adverse modification standards. 
For critical habitat, a biological opinion that concludes in a 
determination of no destruction or adverse modification may contain 
discretionary conservation recommendations to minimize adverse effects 
to primary constituent elements, but it would not contain any mandatory 
reasonable and prudent measures or terms and conditions. Mandatory 
measures and terms and conditions to implement such measures are only 
specified when the proposed action would result in the incidental take 
of a listed animal or species. Reasonable and prudent alternatives to 
the proposed Federal action would only be suggested when the biological 
opinion results in a jeopardy or adverse modification conclusion.
    We also note that for 30 years prior to the Ninth Circuit Court's 
decision in Gifford Pinchot the Service conflated the jeopardy standard 
with the standard for destruction or adverse modification of critical 
habitat when evaluating Federal actions that affect currently occupied 
critical habitat. The Court ruled that the two standards are distinct 
and that adverse modification evaluations require consideration of 
impacts on the recovery of species. Thus, under the Gifford Pinchot 
decision, critical habitat designations

[[Page 5874]]

may provide greater benefits to the recovery of a species. However, we 
believe the conservation achieved through implementing HCPs or other 
habitat management plans is typically greater than would be achieved 
through multiple site-by-site, project-by-project, section 7 
consultations involving consideration of critical habitat. Management 
plans commit resources to implement long-term management and protection 
to particular habitat for at least one and possibly other listed or 
sensitive species. Section 7 consultations only commit Federal agencies 
to prevent adverse modification to critical habitat caused by the 
particular project, and they are not committed to provide conservation 
or long-term benefits to areas not affected by the proposed project. 
Thus, any HCP or management plan that considers enhancement or recovery 
as the management standard will often provide as much or more benefit 
than a consultation for critical habitat designation conducted under 
the standards required by the Ninth Circuit in the Gifford Pinchot 
decision.

Exclusions Under Section 4(b)(2)--National Forests

    We have evaluated the Forest Management Plans for Francis Marion, 
Osceola, and Apalachicola National Forests with respect to providing 
adequate protection and management for the flatwoods salamander. At 
this time, none of these Plans provide sufficient protection and 
management to satisfy the criteria necessary for proposed exclusion 
from critical habitat (i.e., at this point the benefits of possible 
exclusion do not outweigh the benefits of inclusion). However, it is 
possible that improvements in National Forest management, through 
amendment to forest plans, development of species-specific management 
prescriptions, or other management approaches, coupled with assurances 
of implementation, will enable us to exclude one or more of these 
National Forests from the final designation of critical habitat. 
Therefore, we are specifically soliciting public comment on the 
possible exclusion of the units in these National Forests from critical 
habitat in the final designation.

Economic Analysis

    An analysis of the economic impacts of proposing critical habitat 
for the flatwoods salamander is being prepared. We will announce the 
availability of the draft economic analysis as soon as it is completed, 
at which time we will seek public review and comment. At that time, 
copies of the draft economic analysis will be available for downloading 
from the Internet at http://www.fws.gov/southeast/hotissues/, or by 
contacting the Mississippi Fish and Wildlife Office directly (see 
ADDRESSES section).

Peer Review

    In accordance with our joint policy published in the Federal 
Register on July 1, 1994 (59 FR 34270), we will seek the expert 
opinions of at least three appropriate and independent specialists 
regarding this proposed rule. The purpose of such review is to ensure 
that our critical habitat designation is based on scientifically sound 
data, assumptions, and analyses. We will send copies of this proposed 
rule to these peer reviewers immediately following publication in the 
Federal Register. We will invite these peer reviewers to comment, 
during the public comment period, on the specific assumptions and 
conclusions regarding the proposed designation of critical habitat.
    We will consider all comments and information received during the 
comment period on this proposed rule during preparation of a final 
rulemaking. Accordingly, the final decision may differ from this 
proposal.

Public Hearings

    The Act provides for one or more public hearings on this proposal, 
if requested. Requests for public hearings must be made in writing at 
least 15 days prior to the close of the public comment period. We will 
schedule public hearings on this proposal, if any are requested, and 
announce the dates, times, and places of those hearings in the Federal 
Register and local newspapers at least 15 days prior to the first 
hearing.

Clarity of the Rule

    Executive Order 12866 (Regulatory Planning and Review) requires 
each agency to write regulations and notices that are easy to 
understand. We invite your comments on how to make this proposed rule 
easier to understand, including answers to questions such as the 
following: (1) Are the requirements in the proposed rule clearly 
stated? (2) Does the proposed rule contain technical jargon that 
interferes with the clarity? (3) Does the format of the proposed rule 
(grouping and order of the sections, use of headings, paragraphing, and 
so forth) aid or reduce its clarity? (4) Is the description of the 
notice in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of the preamble helpful 
in understanding the proposed rule? (5) What else could we do to make 
this proposed rule easier to understand?
    Send a copy of any comments on how we could make this proposed rule 
easier to understand to: Office of Regulatory Affairs, Department of 
the Interior, Room 7229, 1849 C Street, NW., Washington, DC 20240. You 
may e-mail your comments to this address: [email protected].

Required Determinations

Regulatory Planning and Review

    In accordance with Executive Order 12866, this document is a 
significant rule in that it may raise novel legal and policy issues, 
but it is not anticipated to have an annual effect on the economy of 
$100 million or more or affect the economy in a material way. Due to 
the tight timeline for publication in the Federal Register, the Office 
of Management and Budget (OMB) has not formally reviewed this rule. We 
are preparing a draft economic analysis of this proposed action, which 
will be available for public comment, to determine the economic 
consequences of designating the specific area as critical habitat. This 
economic analysis also will be used to determine compliance with 
Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Flexibility Act, Small Business 
Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act, and Executive Order 12630, 
Executive 13211, and Executive Order 12875.
    Further, Executive Order 12866 directs Federal Agencies 
promulgating regulations to evaluate regulatory alternatives (Office of 
Management and Budget, Circular A-4, September 17, 2003). Pursuant to 
Circular A-4, once it has been determined that the Federal regulatory 
action is appropriate, then the agency will need to consider 
alternative regulatory approaches. Since the determination of critical 
habitat is a statutory requirement pursuant to the Endangered Species 
Act of 1973, as amended (Act) (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), we must then 
evaluate alternative regulatory approaches, where feasible, when 
promulgating a designation of critical habitat.
    In developing our designation of critical habitat, we consider 
economic impacts, impacts to national security, and other relevant 
impacts pursuant to section 4(b)(2) of the Act. Based on the discretion 
allowable under this provision, we may exclude any particular area from 
the designation of critical habitat providing that the benefits of such 
exclusion outweigh the benefits of specifying the area as critical 
habitat and that such exclusion would not result in the extension of 
the

[[Page 5875]]

subspecies. As such, we believe that the evaluation of the inclusion or 
exclusion of particular areas, or combination thereof, in a designation 
constitutes our regulatory alternative analysis.
    Within these areas, the types of Federal actions or authorized 
activities that we have identified as potential concerns are listed 
above in the section on Section 7 Consultation. The availability of the 
draft economic analysis will be announced in the Federal Register and 
in local newspapers so that it is available for public review and 
comments. The draft economic analysis can be obtained from the internet 
Web site at http://www.fws.gov/southeast/hotissues/, or by contacting 
the Mississippi Fish and Wildlife Office directly (see ADDRESSES 
section).

Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.)

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., as 
amended by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act 
(SBREFA) of 1996), whenever an agency is required to publish a notice 
of rulemaking for any proposed or final rule, it must prepare and make 
available for public comment a regulatory flexibility analysis that 
describes the effects of the rule on small entities (i.e., small 
businesses, small organizations, and small government jurisdictions). 
However, no regulatory flexibility analysis is required if the head of 
the agency certifies the rule will not have a significant economic 
impact on a substantial number of small entities. The SBREFA amended 
the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) to require Federal agencies to 
provide a statement of the factual basis for certifying that the rule 
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of 
small entities.
    At this time, the Service lacks the available economic information 
necessary to provide an adequate factual basis for the required RFA 
finding. Therefore, the RFA finding is deferred until completion of the 
draft economic analysis prepared pursuant to section 4(b)(2) of the Act 
and E.O. 12866. This draft economic analysis will provide the required 
factual basis for the RFA finding. Upon completion of the draft 
economic analysis, the Service will publish a notice of availability of 
the draft economic analysis of the proposed designation and reopen the 
public comment period for the proposed designation for an additional 60 
days. The Service will include with the notice of availability, as 
appropriate, an initial regulatory flexibility analysis or a 
certification that the rule will not have a significant economic impact 
on a substantial number of small entities accompanied by the factual 
basis for that determination. The Service has concluded that deferring 
the RFA finding until completion of the draft economic analysis is 
necessary to meet the purposes and requirements of the RFA. Deferring 
the RFA finding in this manner will ensure that the Service makes a 
sufficiently informed determination based on adequate economic 
information and provides the necessary opportunity for public comment.

Executive Order 13211

    On May 18, 2001, the President issued an Executive Order (E.O. 
13211; Actions Concerning Regulations that Significantly Affect Energy 
Supply, Distribution, or Use) on regulations that significantly affect 
energy supply, distribution, and use. Executive Order 13211 requires 
agencies to prepare Statements of Energy Effects when undertaking 
certain actions. While this proposed rule to designate critical habitat 
for the flatwoods salamander is a significant regulatory action under 
Executive Order 12866, it is not expected to significantly affect 
energy supplies, distribution, or use. Therefore, this action is not a 
significant energy action and no Statement of Energy Effects is 
required.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.)

    In accordance with the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (2 U.S.C. 
1501), the Service makes the following findings:
    (a) This rule will not produce a Federal mandate. In general, a 
Federal mandate is a provision in legislation, statute or regulation 
that would impose an enforceable duty upon State, local, Tribal 
governments, or the private sector and includes both ``Federal 
intergovernmental mandates'' and ``Federal private sector mandates.'' 
These terms are defined in 2 U.S.C. 658(5)-(7). ``Federal 
intergovernmental mandate'' includes a regulation that ``would impose 
an enforceable duty upon State, local, or Tribal governments'' with two 
exceptions. It excludes ``a condition of Federal assistance.'' It also 
excludes ``a duty arising from participation in a voluntary Federal 
program,'' unless the regulation ``relates to a then-existing Federal 
program under which $500,000,000 or more is provided annually to State, 
local, and Tribal governments under entitlement authority,'' if the 
provision would ``increase the stringency of conditions of assistance'' 
or ``place caps upon, or otherwise decrease, the Federal Government's 
responsibility to provide funding,'' and the State, local, or Tribal 
governments ``lack authority'' to adjust accordingly. At the time of 
enactment, these entitlement programs were: Medicaid; AFDC work 
programs; Child Nutrition; Food Stamps; Social Services Block Grants; 
Vocational Rehabilitation State Grants; Foster Care, Adoption 
Assistance, and Independent Living; Family Support Welfare Services; 
and Child Support Enforcement. ``Federal private sector mandate'' 
includes a regulation that ``would impose an enforceable duty upon the 
private sector, except (i) a condition of Federal assistance or (ii) a 
duty arising from participation in a voluntary Federal program.''
    The designation of critical habitat does not impose a legally 
binding duty on non-Federal government entities or private parties. 
Under the Act, the only regulatory effect is that Federal agencies must 
ensure that their actions do not destroy or adversely modify critical 
habitat under section 7. While non-Federal entities that receive 
Federal funding, assistance, or permits, or that otherwise require 
approval or authorization from a Federal agency for an action, may be 
indirectly impacted by the designation of critical habitat, the legally 
binding duty to avoid destruction or adverse modification of critical 
habitat rests squarely on the Federal agency. Furthermore, to the 
extent that non-Federal entities are indirectly impacted because they 
receive Federal assistance or participate in a voluntary Federal aid 
program, the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act would not apply; nor would 
critical habitat shift the costs of the large entitlement programs 
listed above on to State governments.
    (b) We do not believe that this rule will significantly or uniquely 
affect small governments because it is not likely to produce a Federal 
mandate of $100 million or greater in any year, that is, it is not a 
``significant regulatory action'' under the Unfunded Mandates Reform 
Act. Most lands being proposed for critical habitat designation owned 
by a government entity are Federal or State properties. In addition, 
the designation of critical habitat imposes no obligations on State or 
local governments. As such, a Small Government Agency Plan is not 
required. However, as we conduct our economic analysis, we will further 
evaluate this issue.

Takings

    In accordance with Executive Order 12630 (``Government Actions and 
Interference with Constitutionally

[[Page 5876]]

Protected Private Property Rights''), we have analyzed the potential 
takings implications of designating critical habitat for the flatwoods 
salamander in a takings implications assessment. The takings 
implications assessment concludes that this designation of critical 
habitat for the flatwoods salamander does not pose significant takings 
implications. However, we will further evaluate this issue as we 
conduct our economic analysis and review and revise this assessment as 
warranted.

Federalism

    In accordance with Executive Order 13132 (Federalism), the rule 
does not have significant Federalism effects. A Federalism assessment 
is not required. In keeping with Department of the Interior and 
Department of Commerce policy, we requested information from, and 
coordinated development of, this proposed critical habitat designation 
with appropriate State resource agencies in Florida, Georgia, and South 
Carolina. The designation of critical habitat in areas currently 
occupied by the flatwoods salamander imposes no additional restrictions 
to those currently in place and, therefore, has little incremental 
impact on State and local governments and their activities. The 
designation may have some benefit to these governments in that the 
areas that contain the features essential to the conservation of the 
species are more clearly defined, and the primary constituent elements 
of the habitat necessary to the conservation of the species are 
specifically identified. While making this definition and 
identification does not alter where and what federally sponsored 
activities may occur, it may assist these local governments in long-
range planning (rather than waiting for case-by-case section 7 
consultations to occur).

Civil Justice Reform

    In accordance with Executive Order 12988 (Civil Justice Reform), 
the Office of the Solicitor has determined that the rule does not 
unduly burden the judicial system and meets the requirements of 
sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of the Order. We have proposed designating 
critical habitat in accordance with the provisions of the Endangered 
Species Act. This proposed rule uses standard property descriptions and 
identifies the primary constituent elements within the designated areas 
to assist the public in understanding the habitat needs of the 
flatwoods salamander.

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.)

    This rule does not contain any new collections of information that 
require approval by OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act. This rule 
will not impose recordkeeping or reporting requirements on State or 
local governments, individuals, businesses, or organizations. An agency 
may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, 
a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB 
control number.

National Environmental Policy Act

    It is our position that, outside the Tenth Circuit, we do not need 
to prepare environmental analyses as defined by the NEPA in connection 
with designating critical habitat under the Endangered Species Act of 
1973, as amended. We published a notice outlining our reasons for this 
determination in the Federal Register on October 25, 1983 (48 FR 
49244). This assertion was upheld in the courts of the Ninth Circuit 
(Douglas County v. Babbitt, 48 F.3d 1495 (9th Cir. Ore. 1995), cert. 
denied 116 S. Ct. 698 (1996).

Government-to-Government Relationship With Tribes

    In accordance with the President's memorandum of April 29, 1994, 
``Government-to-Government Relations with Native American Tribal 
Governments'' (59 FR 22951), Executive Order 13175, and the Department 
of Interior's manual at 512 DM 2, we readily acknowledge our 
responsibility to communicate meaningfully with recognized Federal 
Tribes on a government-to-government basis. We have determined that 
there are no tribal lands occupied at the time of listing that contain 
the features essential for the conservation and no tribal lands that 
are unoccupied areas that are essential for the conservation of the 
flatwoods salamander. Therefore, designation of critical habitat for 
the flatwoods salamander has not been designated on Tribal lands.

salamander (Ambystoma cingulatum)'' in the same order that the species 
appears in the table at Sec.  17.11(h), to read as follows:


Sec.  17.95  Critical habitat--fish and wildlife.

* * * * *
Flatwoods salamander (Ambystoma cingulatum)
    (1) Critical habitat units are depicted for Baker, Calhoun, 
Franklin, Holmes, Jackson, Jefferson, Liberty, Santa Rosa, Wakulla, 
Walton, and Washington Counties in Florida; Baker and Miller Counties 
in Georgia; and Berkeley, Charleston, and Jasper Counties in South 
Carolina, on the maps below.
    (2) The primary constituent elements of critical habitat for the 
flatwoods salamander are the habitat components that provide:
    (i) Breeding habitat. Small (generally <1 to 10 acres (ac) (<0.4 to 
4.0 hectares (ha)), acidic, depressional standing bodies of freshwater 
(wetlands) that:
    (A) Are seasonally-flooded by rainfall in late fall or early winter 
and dry in late spring or early summer;
    (B) Are geographically isolated from other water bodies;
    (C) Occur within pine-flatwoods/savanna communities;
    (D) Are dominated by grasses and grass-like species in the ground 
layer and overstories of pond cypress, blackgum, and slash pine;
    (E) Have a relatively open canopy, necessary to maintain the 
herbaceous component which serves as cover for flatwoods salamander 
larvae and their aquatic invertebrate prey; and
    (F) Typically have a burrowing crayfish fauna, but, due to periodic 
drying, the breeding ponds typically lack large, predatory fish (e.g., 
Lepomis (sunfish), Micropterus (bass), Amia calva (bowfin)).
    (ii) Non-breeding habitat. Upland pine flatwoods/savanna habitat 
that is open, mesic woodland maintained by frequent fires and that:
    (A) Is within 1,500 ft (457 m) of adjacent and accessible breeding 
ponds;
    (B) Contains crayfish burrows or other underground habitat that the 
flatwoods salamander depends upon for food, shelter, and protection 
from the elements and predation;
    (C) Has an organic hardpan in the soil profile, which inhibits 
subsurface water penetration and typically results in moist soils with 
water often at or near the surface under normal conditions; and
    (D) Often has wiregrasses as the dominant grasses in the abundant 
herbaceous ground cover, which supports the rich herbivorous 
invertebrates that serve as a food source for the flatwoods salamander.
    (iii) Dispersal habitat. Upland habitat areas between non-breeding 
and breeding habitat that allow for salamander movement between such 
sites and that is characterized by:
    (A) A mix of vegetation types representing a transition between 
wetland and upland vegetation (ecotone);
    (B) An open canopy and abundant native herbaceous species; and
    (C) Moist soils as described in PCE 2, and underground structure, 
such as deep litter cover or burrows that provide shelter for 
salamanders during seasonal movements.
    (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, aqueducts, 
airports, and roads, and the land on which such structures are located.
    (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 Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates.
    (5) Note: Index maps (Map 1, Map 1A, Map 1B, Map 1C) follow.
