Withdrawal of Proposed Rule to List Penstemon grahamii as Threatened With Critical Habitat

Summary

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has withdrawn a proposed rule to list Penstemon grahamii (Graham's beardtongue) as a threatened species with critical habitat under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, citing that threats to the species are not significant and do not pose a foreseeable threat to its survival. This decision also removes the species from candidate status under the Act.
