Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Proposed Designation of Critical Habitat for Brodiaea filifolia (thread-leaved brodiaea)

Streszczenie

We, the Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), propose to designate critical habitat pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act), for the federally threatened Brodiaea filifolia (thread-leaved brodiaea). We have determined that 9,403 acres (ac) (3,805 hectares (ha)) of habitat with essential features exists for Brodiaea filifolia in Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Orange, Riverside, and San Diego counties. Of this eligible habitat, we are proposing to designate approximately 4,690 ac (1,898 ha) of land in 10 units in Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Orange, and San Diego Counties, California, as critical habitat for this species. Eligible habitat in Riverside and portions of San Diego counties covered by approved and/or pending habitat conservation plans is being proposed for exclusion from critical habitat under 4(b)(2) of the Act.
