Comment Periods and Notice of Availability of Draft Economic Analyses 
on Proposed Critical Habitat Determinations for the Cactus Ferruginous 
Pygmy-Owl and the Huachuca Water Umbel, a Plant

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.

ACTION: Proposed rule; reopening of comment periods and notice of 
availability of draft economic analyses.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announces the availability 
of draft economic analyses of the proposed designation of critical 
habitat for the plant Lilaeopsis schaffneriana ssp. recurva (Huachuca 
water umbel) and the cactus ferruginous pygmy-owl (Glaucidium 
brasilianum cactorum). We also provide notice of the reopening of the 
comment periods for the two proposals to allow all interested parties 
to submit written comments on the proposals and on the draft economic 
analyses. We have received some comments on the proposals after the 
close of the original comment periods. Those comments will be 
incorporated into the public records as a part of these reopenings and 
do not need to be resubmitted.

DATES: The original comment periods for both critical habitat proposals 
closed on March 1, 1999. The comment periods are reopened and we will 
accept comments until May 15, 1999. Comments must be received by the 
closing date. Any comments that are received after the closing date may 
not be considered in the final decisions on these proposals.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the draft economic analyses are available on the 
Internet at http://ifw2irm2.irm1.r2.fws.gov/ or by writing to the Field 
Supervisor, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 2321 W. Royal Palm Road, 
Suite 103, Phoenix, Arizona 85021. Written comments should be sent to 
the Field Supervisor. Comments and materials received will be available 
for public inspection, by appointment, during normal business hours at 
the above Service address.

Coordinator, at the above address (telephone 602-640-2720 ext. 240;
