We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce the opening of a public comment period on the proposed and final designation of critical habitat for the Klamath River and Columbia River populations of bull trout [Salvelinus confluentus). Due to court action, we have determined that it would be appropriate to reevaluate the exclusions made in the final critical habitat rule. We are opening this comment period to allow all interested parties to comment simultaneously on the November 29, 2002, proposed rule (67 FR 71235) and the October 6, 2004, final rule (69 FR 59996). Copies of the proposed and final rules, as well as the economic analysis for the critical habitat designation, are available on the Internet at http://pacific.fws.gov/ bull trout or from the Portland Regional Office at the address and contact numbers below
Only portions of issues of the Federal Register are available in the Klamath Waters Digital Library. 50 CFR Part 17; Action: Final rule, opening of comment period; “FR Doc. 05-10246 Filed 5-24-05: 8:45 a.m.;” See the Federal Register at http://www.gpoaccess.gov/fr/advanced.html
