No. 26562 LEGAL NOTICE Proposed Delisting for Water Howellia The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) is proposing to delist the water howellia (Howellia aquatilis), an aquatic plant, under the Endangered Species Act. The proposed delisting is due to a reduction of threats for which the species was listed in 1994, including invasive species, land management activities, livestock trampling/herbivory, habitat loss, narrow ecological requirements and small population size/low genetic diversity. In addition, the known distribution of water howellia has expanded since listing, which now includes all states where the species was known to historically occur (Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon and California). In Montana, water howellia is found in seasonal ponds and wetlands in the Seeley-Swan Valley. More information can be found at http://www.regulations.gov, docket number FWS-R6-ES-2018-0045. The Service invites public comment on the proposed rule for a 60-day period. Comments must be received on or before December 6th, 2019. The Service will post all comments on http://www.regulations.gov. This generally means the agency will post any personal information provided through the process. After the public comment periods, the Service will decide if the rule should be approved, revised or withdrawn. Public hearings on this proposal must be requested by November 21, 2019, within 45 days of this announcement. Public hearing requests should be sent to Public Comments Processing, Attn: FWS-R6-ES-2018-0045; U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Headquarters, MS: BPHC, 5275 Leesburg Pike, Falls Church, VA 22041-3803.
