Endangered And Threatened Wildlife And Plants; Designation Of Critical Habitat For The Topeka Shiner; Proposed Rule
Endangered Species Bulletin
We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), propose designation of critical habitat pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act), for the Topeka shiner (Notropis topeka). This proposal is made in response to a court settlement in Biodiversity Legal Foundation et al. v. Ralph Morganweck et al. C00–D–1180, committing the Service to submit for publication in the Federal Register a proposal to withdraw the existing ‘‘not prudent’’ critical habitat determination together with a new proposed critical habitat determination for the Topeka shiner by August 13, 2002. We are proposing to designate as critical …

Endangered And Threatened Wildlife And Plants; Establishment Of A Nonessential Experimental Population Of Whooping Cranes In The Eastern United States
Endangered Species Bulletin
We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), will reintroduce whooping cranes (Grus Americana) into historic habitat in the eastern United States with the intent to establish a migratory flock that would summer and breed in Wisconsin, and winter in west-central Florida. We are designating this reintroduced population as a nonessential experimental population (NEP) according to section 10(j) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (Act), as amended. The geographic boundary of the NEP includes the States of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, …

American Burying Beetle (Nicrophorus Americanus) Recovery Plan, Christopher Raithel
American Burying Beetle (Nicrophorus Americanus) Recovery Plan, Christopher Raithel
Endangered Species Bulletin
Current Species Status: Nicrophorus americanus, formerly distributed throughout temperate eastern North America, now persists in only two widely separated natural populations: a small but apparently stable population on Block Island off the coast of Rhode Island, and a lower-density but more widespread population in eastern Oklahoma. In addition, three laboratory colonies are being maintained, and in 1990 and 1991, about 90 N. americanus were reintroduced to historical habitat on Penikese Island, Massachusetts. Based on the drastic decline and extirpation of the species over nearly its entire historical range, the American burying beetle was listed as endangered in July 1989. …

Endangered And Threatened Wildlife And Plants; Final Rule To Designate The Whooping Cranes Of The Rocky Mountains As Experimental Nonessential And To Remove Whooping Crane Critical Habitat Designations From Four Locations
Endangered Species Bulletin
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) determines that it will designate the whooping crane (Grus Americana) population of the Rocky Mountains as an experimental nonessential population and will remove whooping crane critical habitat designations from four National Wildlife Refuges; Bosque del Apache in New Mexico, Monte Vista and Alamosa in Colorado, and Grays Lake in Idaho. The private lands involved are holdings inside refuge boundaries and a 1-mile buffer around Grays Lake National Wildlife Refuge. The Service will use this population, and captive-reared sandhill cranes and whooping cranes, in experiments to evaluate methods for introducing whooping cranes …

Recovery Plan For The Pallid Sturgeon (Scaphirhynchus Albus), Mark Dryer, Alan Sandvol
Endangered Species Bulletin
The pallid sturgeon (Scaphirhynchus albus Forbes and Richardson) was listed as an endangered species on September 6, 1990 (55 FR 36641) pursuant to the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) as amended. The range of the pallid sturgeon overlays three U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) Regions: Region 3, Region 4, and Region 6, with Region 6 having been designated the lead Region for recovery (research functions are provided to all Service Regions by Region 8). Because of the wide range of the pallid sturgeon, its believed extreme rarity, numerous threats to species survival, …
Endangered And Threatened Wildlife And Plants; Determination Of Endangered Status For The Winged Mapleleaf Freshwater Mussel
Endangered Species Bulletin
The Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) determines the winged mapleleaf mussel (Quodrulo frogoso) to be an endangered species under the authority of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C 1531 et seq.) (Act). Historically, this freshwater mussel occurred extensively in the Mississippi, Tennessee, Ohio, and Cumberland River drainages in the states of Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, Tennessee, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Oklahoma and Kentucky. As a result of land use changes, river alterations and pollution, the winged mapleleaf mussel has been reduced to a single known population located in the St. Croix River between northwestern Wisconsin …
Black-Capped Vireo Recovery Plan, Joseph A. Grzybowski
Black-Capped Vireo Recovery Plan, Joseph A. Grzybowski
Endangered Species Bulletin
Current Species Status: This species is listed as endangered. The number of individuals is unknown. However, it has undergone substantial range reduction in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. It is extirpated in Kansas, and the Oklahoma population is below 300 birds. Declines have also been documented over much of the species’ range in Texas. Its status is uncertain in Coahuila, Mexico.
Habitat Requirements and Limiting Factors: The black-capped vireo occurs in mixed deciduous/evergreen shrubland. Breeding vireos use shrubby growth of irregular height and distribution with spaces between the small thickets and clumps and with vegetative cover extending to ground …
Endangered And Threatened Wildlife And Plants; Determination Of Endangered Status For The Pallid Sturgeon
Endangered Species Bulletin
The Service determines the pallid sturgeon (Scaphirhynchus albus) to be an endangered species under authority of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973. Critical habitat is not being designated. The pallid sturgeon is a large fish known only to occur in the Missouri River, the Mississippi River downstream of the Missouri River, and the lower Yellowstone River. The species is threatened through habitat modification, apparent lack of natural reproduction, commercial harvest, and hybridization in parts of its range. This rule identifies the taxon as one in need of conservation, implements protective measures, and makes available recovery measures provided …
Endangered And Threatened Wildlife And Plants; Proposed Rule To Determine The Pallid Sturgeon To Be An Endangered Species
Endangered Species Bulletin
The Service proposes to determine the pallid sturgeon (Scaphirhynchus albus) to be an endangered species under the authority of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended. The pallid sturgeon is a large fish known only to occur in the Missouri River, the Mississippi River downstream of the Missouri River, and the lower Yellowstone River. The species is threatened through habitat modification and apparent lack of reproduction. Numbers of fish reported have declined dramatically in the last two decades. Past commercial utilization likely exceeded biological recruitment. Pollution may be a problem over much of its range, and …

Endangered And Threatened Wildlife And Plants; Determination Of The Black-Capped Vireo To Be An Endangered Species
Endangered Species Bulletin
The Service determines the black-capped vireo (Vireo atricapillus) to be an endangered species. This bird formerly bred from Kansas through Oklahoma and Texas to central Coahuila. Mexico. The vireo no longer occurs in Kansas, is gravely endangered in Oklahoma, and is no longer found in several parts of its formerly extensive range in Texas. The black-capped vireo is threatened by brown-headed cowbird (Molothrus ater) nest parasitism and loss of habitat due to such factors as urbanization, grazing, range improvement, and succession. This rule implements the protection provided by the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended, …

Proposed Critical Habitat For The Whooping Crane
Proposed Critical Habitat For The Whooping Crane
Endangered Species Bulletin
The Service proposes eight additional areas as critical habitat in Kansas, Montana, Nebraska. North Dakota, and South Dakota for the endangered whooping crane (Grus americana) to those areas already determined to be critical habitat as published in the FEDERAL REGISTER of May 15, 1978 (43 FR 20938). If finalized, this rule would provide Federal protection of these areas under section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 and will further assure the conservation of the whooping crane.
