AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.

finding for a petition to list the sicklefin chub (Macrhybopsis meeki) 
and the sturgeon chub (Macrhybopsis gelida) as endangered under the 
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. After review of all 
available scientific and commercial information, we find that listing 
either of these two species is not warranted at this time.

notice should be sent to Mr. Allyn Sapa, Field Supervisor, 3425 Miriam
