50 CFR Part 17

 
Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Designation of 
Critical Habitat for the Unarmored Threespine Stickleback

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.

ACTION: Finding that the designation of critical habitat should not be 
made.

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

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), find that 
the proposed designation of critical habitat for the unarmored 
threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculaetus williamsoni) pursuant to 
the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended, (Act) should not be 
made final. On November 17, 1980, we proposed designating approximately 
51 kilometers (31.7 miles) of streams in Los Angeles and Santa Barbara 
Counties, California, as critical habitat for this species (45 FR 
76012).

and Wildlife Service, 4401 N. Fairfax Drive, Room 420, Arlington, VA
