[[pp. 15955-15987]] Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Revised 
Determinations of Prudency and Proposed Designations of Critical 
Habitat for Plant Species From the Islands of Maui and Kahoolawe, 
Hawaii

specifying such areas as critical habitat. We cannot exclude such 
areas from critical habitat when such exclusion will result in the 
extinction of the species concerned. We will conduct an analysis of 
the economic impacts of designating these areas as critical habitat 
in light of this new proposal and in accordance with recent 
decisions in the N.M. Cattlegrowers Ass'n v. U.S. Fish and Wildlife 
Serv., 248 F.3d 1277 (10th Cir. 2001) prior to a final 
determination. The economic analysis will include detailed 
information on the baseline costs and benefits attributable to 
listing these 61 plant species, where such estimates are available. 
This information on the baseline will allow a fuller appreciation of 
the economic impacts associated with listing and with critical 
habitat designation. When completed, we will announce the 
availability of the revised draft economic analysis with a notice in 
the Federal Register, and we will open a public comment period on 
the revised draft economic analysis and reopen the comment period on 
the proposed rule at that time.
    We will utilize the final economic analysis, and take into 
consideration all comments and information regarding economic or 
other impacts submitted during the public comment period and the 
public hearing, to make final critical habitat designations. We may 
exclude areas from critical habitat upon a determination that the 
benefits of such exclusions outweigh the benefits of specifying such 
areas as part of critical habitat; however, we cannot exclude areas 
from critical habitat when such exclusion will result in the 
extinction of the species.

Public Comments Solicited

    It is our intent that any final action resulting from this 
proposal be as accurate and as effective as possible. Therefore, we 
solicit comments or suggestions from the public, other concerned 
governmental agencies, the scientific community, industry or any 
other interested party concerning this proposed rule.
    We invite comments from the public that provide information on 
whether lands within proposed critical habitat are currently being 
managed to address conservation needs of these listed plants. As 
stated earlier in this revised proposed rule, if we receive 
information that any of the areas proposed as critical habitat are 
adequately managed, we may delete such areas from the final rule, 
because they would not meet the definition in section 3(5)(A)(i) of 
the Act. In determining adequacy of management, we must find that 
the management effort is sufficiently certain to be implemented and 
effective so as to contribute to the elimination or adequate 
reduction of relevant threats to the species.
    We are soliciting comment in this revised proposed rule on 
whether current land management plans or practices applied within 
areas proposed as critical habitat adequately address the threat to 
these listed species.
    We are aware that the State of Hawaii and some private 
landowners are considering the development and implementation of 
land management plans or agreements that may promote the 
conservation and recovery of endangered and threatened plant species 
on the islands of Maui and Kahoolawe. We are soliciting comments in 
this proposed rule on whether current land management plans or 
practices applied within the areas proposed as critical habitat 
provide for the conservation of the species by adequately addressing 
the threats. We are also soliciting comments on whether future 
development and approval of conservation measures (e.g., HCPs, 
Conservation Agreements, Safe Harbor Agreements) should be excluded 
from critical habitat and if so, by what mechanism.
    In addition, we are seeking comments on the following:
    (1) The reasons why critical habitat for any of these species is 
prudent or not prudent as provided by section 4 of the Act and 50 
CFR 424.12(a)(1), including those species for which prudency 
determinations have been published in previous proposed rules and 
which have been incorporated by reference;
    (2) The reasons why any particular area should or should not be 
designated as critical habitat for any of these species, as critical 
habitat is defined by section 3 of the Act (16 U.S.C. 1532(5));
    (3) Specific information on the amount, distribution, and 
quality of habitat for the 61 species, and what habitat is essential 
to the conservation of the species and why;
    (4) Land use practices and current or planned activities in the 
subject areas and their possible impacts on proposed critical 
habitat;
    (5) Any economic or other impacts resulting from the proposed 
designations of critical habitat, including any impacts on small 
entities or families;
    (6) Economic and other potential values associated with 
designating critical habitat for the above plant species such as 
those derived from non-consumptive uses (e.g., hiking, camping, 
birding, enhanced watershed protection, increased soil retention, 
``existence values,'' and reductions in administrative costs);
    (7) The methodology we might use, under section 4(b)(2) of the 
Act, in determining if the benefits of excluding an area from 
critical habitat outweigh the benefits of specifying the area as 
critical habitat; and
    (8) The effects of critical habitat designation on military 
lands, and how it would affect military activities, particularly 
military activities at the Kanaio Training Area on the island of 
Maui; whether there will be a significant impact on military 
readiness or national security if we designate critical habitat on 
this facility, and whether this facility should be excluded from the 
designation under section 4(b)(2) of the Act.
    Our practice is to make comments, including names and home 
addresses of respondents, available for public review during regular 
business hours. Individual respondents may request that we withhold 
their home address, which we will honor to the extent allowable by 
law. There also may be circumstances in which we would withhold a 
respondent's identity, as allowable by law. If you wish us to 
withhold your name and/or address, you must state this request 
prominently at the beginning of your comment. However, we will not 
consider anonymous comments. To the extent consistent with 
applicable law, we will make all submissions from organizations or 
businesses, and from individuals identifying themselves as 
representatives or officials of organizations or businesses, 
available for public inspection in their entirety. Comments and 
materials received will be available for public inspection, by 
appointment, during normal business hours at the above address (see 
ADDRESSES section).
    The comment period closes on June 3, 2002. Written comments 
should be submitted to the Service Office listed in the ADDRESSES 
section. We are seeking comments or suggestions from the public, 
other concerned governmental agencies, the scientific community, 
industry, or any other interested parties concerning the proposed 
rule. For additional information on public hearings see the 
ADDRESSES section.

Peer Review

    In accordance with our policy published on July 1, 1994 (59 FR 
34270), we will seek the expert opinions of at least three 
appropriate and independent specialists regarding this proposed 
rule. The purpose of such review is to ensure listing and critical 
habitat decisions are based on scientifically sound data, 
assumptions, and analyses. We will send copies of this proposed rule 
to these peer reviewers immediately following publication in the 
Federal Register. We will invite the peer reviewers to comment, 
during the public comment period, on the specific assumptions and 
conclusions regarding the proposed designations of critical habitat.
    We will consider all comments and data received during the 60-
day comment period on this revised proposed rule during preparation 
of a final rulemaking. Accordingly, the final decision may differ 
from this proposal.

Clarity of the Rule

    Executive Order 12866 requires each agency to write regulations 
and notices that are easy to understand. We invite your comments on 
how to make this proposed rule easier to understand including 
answers to questions such as the following: (1) Are the requirements 
in the proposed rule clearly stated? (2) Does the proposed rule 
contain technical language or jargon that interferes with the 
clarity? (3) Does the format of the proposed rule (grouping and 
order of sections, use of headings, paragraphing, etc.) aid or 
reduce its clarity? (4) Is the description of the proposed rule in 
the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of the preamble helpful in 
understanding the document? (5) What else could we do to make the 
proposed rule easier to understand?
    Please send any comments that concern how we could make this 
notice easier to understand to: Office of Regulatory Affairs, 
Department of the Interior, Room 7229, 1849 C Street NW., 
Washington, DC 20240.

Taxonomic Changes

    At the time we listed Clermontia peleana, Cyanea grimesiana ssp. 
grimesiana, Cyanea lobata, Delissea undulata, Mariscus 
pennatiformis, Phyllostegia parviflora, and Phyllostegia mollis, we 
followed the taxonomic treatments in Wagner et al. (1990), the 
widely used and accepted Manual of the

[[Page 15956]]

Flowering Plants of Hawaii. For Phlegmariurus mannii we used the 
``Revised Checklist of Hawaiian Pteridophytes'' (Wagner and Wagner 
1994). Subsequent to the final listing, we became aware of new 
taxonomic treatments of these species. Due to the court-ordered 
deadlines, we are required to publish this proposal to designate 
critical habitat on Maui and Kahoolawe before we can prepare and 
publish a notice of taxonomic changes for these eight species. We 
propose to publish a taxonomic change notice to these eight species 
after we have published the final critical habitat designations on 
Maui and Kahoolawe. At that time we will evaluate the critical 
habitat designations on Maui and Kahoolawe for these eight species 
in light of any changes that may result from taxonomic changes in 
each species' current and historical range and primary constituent 
elements.

Required Determinations

Regulatory Planning and Review

    In accordance with Executive Order 12866, this document is a 
significant rule and was reviewed by the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) in accordance with the four criteria discussed below. 
We are preparing an economic analysis of this proposed action, which 
will be available for public comment, to determine the economic 
consequences of designating the specific areas identified as 
critical habitat. The availability of the draft economic analysis 
will be announced in the Federal Register so that it is available 
for public review and comment.
    (a) While we will prepare an economic analysis to assist us in 
considering whether areas should be excluded pursuant to section 4 
of the Act, we do not believe this rule will have an annual economic 
effect of $100 million or more or adversely affect in a material way 
the economy, a sector of the economy, productivity, competition, 
jobs, the environment, public health or safety, or State or local 
governments or communities. Therefore, at this time, we do not 
believe a cost benefit and economic analysis pursuant to Executive 
Order 12866 is required. We will revisit this if the economic 
analysis indicates greater impacts than currently anticipated.
    The dates for which the 61 plant species were listed as 
threatened or endangered can be found in Table 4(b). Consequently, 
and as needed, we will conduct formal and informal section 7 
consultations with other Federal agencies to ensure that their 
actions will not jeopardize the continued existence of these 
species. Under the Act, critical habitat may not be adversely 
modified by a Federal agency action. Critical habitat does not 
impose any restrictions on non-Federal persons unless they are 
conducting activities funded or otherwise sponsored, authorized, or 
permitted by a Federal agency (see Table 6).

\1\ This column represents activities potentially affected by the
  critical habitat designation in addition to those activities
  potentially affected by listing the species.
\2\ Activities initiated by a Federal agency.
\3\ Activities initiated by a private or other non-Federal entity that
  may need Federal authorization or funding.

    Section 7 of the Act requires Federal agencies to ensure that 
they do not jeopardize the continued existence of these species. 
Based on our experience with these species and their needs, we 
conclude that most Federal or federally-authorized actions that 
could potentially cause an adverse modification of the proposed 
critical habitat would currently be considered as ``jeopardy'' under 
the Act in areas occupied by the species because consultation would 
already be required due to the presence of the listed species, and 
the duty to avoid adverse modification of critical habitat would not 
trigger additional regulatory impacts beyond the duty to avoid 
jeopardizing the species. Accordingly, we do not expect the 
designation of currently occupied areas as critical habitat to have 
any additional incremental impacts on what actions may or may not be 
conducted by Federal agencies or non-Federal persons that receive 
Federal authorization or funding.
    The designation of areas as critical habitat where section 7 
consultations would not have occurred but for the critical habitat 
designation (that is, in areas currently unoccupied by the these 
listed species) may have impacts that are not attributable to the 
species listing on what actions may or may not be conducted by 
Federal agencies or non-Federal persons who receive Federal 
authorization or funding. We will evaluate any impact through our 
economic analysis (under section 4 of the Act; see Economic Analysis 
section of this rule). Non-Federal persons who do not have a Federal 
nexus with their actions are not restricted by the designation of 
critical habitat.
    (b) We do not expect this rule to create inconsistencies with 
other agencies' actions. As discussed above, Federal agencies have 
been required to ensure that their actions not jeopardize the 
continued existence of the 61 plant species since their listing 
between 1991 and 1999. For the reasons discussed above, the 
prohibition against adverse modification of critical habitat would 
be expected to impose few, if any, additional restrictions to those 
that currently exist in the proposed critical habitat on currently 
occupied lands. However, we will evaluate any impact of designating 
areas where section 7 consultations would not have occurred but for 
the critical habitat designation through our economic analysis. 
Because of the

[[Page 15957]]

potential for impacts on other Federal agencies' activities, we will 
continue to review this proposed action for any inconsistencies with 
other Federal agencies' actions.
    (c) We do not expect this proposed rule, if made final, to 
significantly affect entitlements, grants, user fees, loan programs, 
or the rights and obligations of their recipients. Federal agencies 
are currently required to ensure that their activities do not 
jeopardize the continued existence of a listed species, and, as 
discussed above, we do not anticipate that the adverse modification 
prohibition, resulting from critical habitat designation will have 
any incremental effects in areas of occupied habitat on any Federal 
entitlement, grant, or loan program. We will evaluate any impact of 
designating areas where section 7 consultation would not have 
occurred but for the critical habitat designation through our 
economic analysis.
    (d) OMB has determined that this rule may raise novel legal or 
policy issues and, as a result, this rule has undergone OMB review.

Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.)

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., as 
amended by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act 
(SBREFA) of 1996), whenever an agency is required to publish a 
notice of rulemaking for any proposed or final rule, it must prepare 
and make available for public comment a regulatory flexibility 
analysis that describes the effects of the rule on a substantial 
number of small entities (i.e., small businesses, small 
organizations, and small government jurisdictions). However, no 
regulatory flexibility analysis is required if the head of the 
agency certifies the rule will not have a significant economic 
impact on a substantial number of small entities. SBREFA amended the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) to require Federal agencies to 
provide a statement of the factual basis for certifying that the 
rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial 
number of small entities. SBREFA also amended the RFA to require a 
certification statement. In today's rule, we are certifying that the 
rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial 
number of small entities. However, should our economic analysis 
provide a contrary indication, we will revisit this determination at 
that time. The following discussion explains our rationale.
    According to the Small Business Association, small entities 
include small organizations, such as independent non-profit 
organizations, and small governmental jurisdictions, including 
school boards and city and town governments that serve fewer than 
50,000 residents, as well as small businesses. Small businesses 
include manufacturing and mining concerns with fewer than 500 
employees, wholesale trade entities with fewer than 100 employees, 
retail and service businesses with less than $5 million in annual 
sales, general and heavy construction businesses with less than 
$27.5 million in annual business, special trade contractors doing 
less than $11.5 million in annual business, and agricultural 
businesses with annual sales less than $750,000. To determine if 
potential economic impacts to these small entities are significant, 
we consider the types of activities that might trigger regulatory 
impacts under this rule as well as the types of project 
modifications that may result. In general, the term significant 
economic impact is meant to apply to a typical small business firm's 
business operations.
    To determine if the rule would affect a substantial number of 
small entities, we consider the number of small entities affected 
within particular types of economic activities (e.g., housing 
development, grazing, oil and gas production, timber harvesting, 
etc.). We apply the ``substantial number'' test individually to each 
industry to determine if certification is appropriate. In some 
circumstances, especially with proposed critical habitat 
designations of very limited extent, we may aggregate across all 
industries and consider whether the total number of small entities 
affected is substantial. In estimating the numbers of small entities 
potentially affected, we also consider whether their activities have 
any Federal involvement; some kinds of activities are unlikely to 
have any Federal involvement and so will not be affected by critical 
habitat designation.
    Designation of critical habitat only affects activities 
conducted, funded, or permitted by Federal agencies; non-Federal 
activities are not affected by the designation. In areas where the 
species is present, Federal agencies are already required to consult 
with us under section 7 of the Act on activities that they fund, 
permit, or implement that may affect Alectryon macrococcus, 
Argyroxiphium sandwicense ssp. macrocephalum, Asplenium fragile var. 
insulare, Bidens micrantha ssp. kalealaha, Bonamia menziesii, 
Brighamia rockii, Cenchrus agrimonioides, Centaurium sebaeoides, 
Clermontia lindseyana, Clermontia oblongifolia ssp. mauiensis, 
Clermontia samuelii, Colubrina oppositifolia, Ctenitis squamigera, 
Cyanea copelandii ssp. haleakalaensis, Cyanea glabra, Cyanea 
grimesiana ssp. grimesiana, Cyanea hamatiflora ssp. hamatiflora, 
Cyanea lobata, Cyanea mceldowneyi, Cyrtandra munroi, Diellia erecta, 
Diplazium molokaiense, Dubautia plantaginea ssp. humilis, Flueggea 
neowawraea, Geranium arboreum, Geranium multiflorum, Gouania 
vitifolia, Hedyotis coriacea, Hedyotis mannii, Hesperomannia 
arborescens, Hesperomannia arbuscula, Hibiscus brackenridgei, 
Ischaemum byrone, Isodendrion pyrifolium, Kanaloa kahoolawensis, 
Lipochaeta kamolensis, Lysimachia lydgatei, Mariscus pennatiformis, 
Melicope adscendens, Melicope balloui, Melicope knudsenii, Melicope 
mucronulata, Melicope ovalis, Neraudia sericea, Nototrichium humile, 
Peucedanum sandwicense, Phlegmariurus mannii, Phyllostegia mannii, 
Phyllostegia mollis, Plantago princeps, Platanthera holochila, 
Pteris lidgatei, Remya mauiensis, Sanicula purpurea, Schiedea 
haleakalensis, Sesbania tomentosa, Spermolepis hawaiiensis, 
Tetramolopium capillare, Tetramolopium remyi, Vigna o-wahuensis, and 
Zanthoxylum hawaiiense. If these critical habitat designations are 
finalized, Federal agencies must also consult with us if their 
activities may affect designated critical habitat. However, in areas 
where the species is present, we do not believe this will result in 
any additional regulatory burden on Federal agencies or their 
applicants because consultation would already be required due to the 
presence of the listed species (all of the proposed critical habitat 
areas are occupied by at least one species), and the duty to avoid 
adverse modification of critical habitat likely would not trigger 
additional regulatory impacts beyond the duty to avoid jeopardizing 
the species. However, there will be little additional impact on 
State and local governments and their activities because all of the 
proposed critical habitat areas are occupied by at least one 
species.
    Even if the duty to avoid adverse modification does not trigger 
additional regulatory impacts in areas where the species is present, 
designation of critical habitat could result in an additional 
economic burden on small entities due to the requirement to 
reinitiate consultation for ongoing Federal activities. However, 
since these 61 plant species were listed (between 1991 and 1999), on 
the island of Maui we have conducted only one formal consultation, 
and 14 informal consultations, in addition to consultations on 
Federal grants to State wildlife programs, which do not affect small 
entity. Three informal consultations were conducted with the U.S. 
Air Force, for the Maui Space Surveillance Site, who requested we 
review their final draft ``Environmental Assessment,'' ``Integrated 
Natural Resources Management Plan for the Maui Space Surveillance 
Complex,'' and the effects of the construction of the surveillance 
site on listed and proposed endangered and threatened species. One 
of the 61 species, Argyroxiphium sandwicense ssp. macrocephalum, was 
reported from the project area. Three informal consultations were 
conducted with Haleakala National Park, regarding a collecting 
permit for two of the 61 species, Geranium arboreum and Geranium 
multiflorum; review of the ``Environmental Assessment for 
Replacement of the Summit Comfort Station and Utilities Systems;'' 
and review of a park highway resurfacing project. One of the 61 
species, Argyroxiphium sandwicense ssp. macrocephalum, was reported 
from the comfort station project area and in close proximity to the 
highway resurfacing project area. One informal consultation was 
conducted with the Service's Ecological Services Program, for the 
effects of fencing and replanting on listed endangered and 
threatened species within the Auwahi Partnership Project area. Four 
of the 61 species, Bidens micrantha ssp. kalealaha, Geranium 
arboreum, Clermontia lindseyana, and Zanthoxylum hawaiiense, were 
reported from the project area. One informal consultation was 
conducted with the Service's Ecological Services Program, for the 
effects of fencing and hunting on listed endangered and threatened 
species within the Kahikinui Partnership Project area. Four of the 
61 species, Bidens micrantha ssp. kalealaha, Clermontia lindseyana, 
Diellia erecta, and Diplazium molokaiense, were reported from the 
project area. One informal

[[Page 15958]]

consultation was conducted with the Service's Ecological Services 
Program, for the effects of fencing and outplanting on listed 
endangered and threatened species within the Puu Makua Partnership 
Project area. Two of the 61 species, Bidens micrantha ssp. kalealaha 
and Geranium arboreum were reported from the project area. One 
informal consultation was conducted with the Service, for the 
effects of ungulate exclusion on listed endangered and threatened 
species within the Puu Kukui Partnership Project area. Two of the 61 
species, Cyanea mucronulata, and Ctenitis squamigera, were reported 
from the project area. One informal consultation was conducted with 
the Department of Defense, for review of the effects of the Kanaio 
National Guard Training Area on listed endangered and threatened 
species and review of ``Natural Resources Management Plan: Kanaio 
Guard Training Area.'' One of the 61 species, Sesbania tomentosa, 
was reported from the training area. Two informal consultations were 
conducted with the Department of Transportation, for review of the 
effects of the proposed Kihei-Upcountry Highway on listed endangered 
and threatened species. Two of the 61 species, Hibiscus 
brackenridgei and Bonamia menziesii, were reported from the vicinity 
of the project area. One informal consultations was conducted with 
the U.S. Department of Agriculture, for review of the effect of 
feral pig removal on listed endangered and threatened species within 
Waikamoi and Kapunakea Preserves. Twelve of the 61 species, 
Alectryon macrococcus, Argyroxiphium sandwicense ssp. macrocephalum, 
Bonamia menziesii, Colubrina oppositifolia, Ctenitis squamigera, 
Diplazium molokaiense, Geranium arboreum, Geranium multiflorum, 
Melicope balloui, Plantago princeps, Platanthera holochila, and 
Sanicula purpurea, are known to occur within the preserves. One 
formal consultation was conducted with the Federal Aviation 
Administration (FAA), for the review of the ``Final Environmental 
Impact Statement, Kahului Airport Improvements''. While only one of 
the 61 species, Nothocestrum breviflorum, was reported in the 
vicinity of the project area, the effects of the Airport Improvement 
Project were evaluated for all listed species and the designated 
critical habitat for Gouania hillebrandii on the island of Maui.
    None of these consultations affected or concerned small 
entities. In all 14 informal consultations, we concurred with each 
agency's determination that the project, as proposed, was not likely 
to adversely affect listed species. For the formal consultation, we 
determined that the airport improvement project, which included a 
mandatory state-of-the-art alien species interdiction facility, was 
not likely to jeopardize listed species nor adversely affect 
designated critical habitat for Gouania hillebrandii on the island 
of Maui. In addition, only the FAA's proposed airport improvement 
project is ongoing. The FAA is not a small entity. Therefore, the 
requirement to reinitiate consultation for ongoing projects will not 
affect a substantial number of small entities on Maui.
    There has been one informal consultation on the island of 
Kahoolawe. The consultation was conducted on behalf of the 
Department of the Navy, for the effects of ordinance cleanup on 
listed endangered and threatened species. Three of the 61 species, 
Kanaloa kahoolawensis, Sesbania tomentosa, and Vigna o-wahuensis, 
were reported from the project area. The Department of the Navy is 
not a small entity, therefore this consultation did not affect or 
concern small entities. In this case, we concurred with the agency's 
determination that the project as proposed was not likely to 
adversely affect listed species. Although this project is ongoing, 
it does not affect nor concern small entities, so the requirement to 
reinitiate consultation for ongoing projects will not affect a 
substantial number of small entities on Kahoolawe.
    In areas where the species is clearly not present, designation 
of critical habitat could trigger additional review of Federal 
activities under section 7 of the Act, that would otherwise not be 
required. We are aware of relatively few activities in the proposed 
critical habitat areas for these 61 plants that have Federal 
involvement would require consultation or reinitiation of already-
completed consultations for ongoing projects. As mentioned above, we 
have only conducted 15 informal consultations and 1 formal 
consultation under section 7 involving any of the species. As a 
result, we cannot, at this time, easily identify future 
consultations that may be due to the listing of the species or the 
increment of additional consultations that may be required by this 
critical habitat designation. Therefore, for the purposes of this 
review and certification under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, we 
are assuming that any future consultations in the area proposed as 
critical habitat will be due to the critical habitat designations.
    On Maui, approximately 17 percent of the proposed designations 
are on Federal lands, 45 percent are on State lands, and 37 percent 
are on private lands. Nearly all of the land within the critical 
habitat units is unsuitable for development, land uses, and 
activities. This is due to their remote locations, lack of access, 
and rugged terrain. The majority of this land (77 percent) and all 
of the land on Kahoolawe is within the State Conservation District 
where State land-use controls severely limit development and most 
activities. Approximately 23 percent of this land is within the 
State Agricultural District where only activities such as crops, 
livestock, grazing, and accessory structures and farmhouses are 
allowed. On non-Federal lands, activities that lack Federal 
involvement would not be affected by the critical habitat 
designations. Activities of an economic nature that are likely to 
occur on non-Federal lands in the area encompassed by these proposed 
designations consist of improvements in State parks and 
communications and tracking facilities; ranching; road improvements; 
recreational use such as hiking, camping, picnicking, game hunting, 
and fishing; botanical gardens; and, crop farming. With the 
exception of communications and tracking facilities improvements by 
the Federal Aviation Administration or the Federal Communications 
Commission, these activities are unlikely to have Federal 
involvement. On lands that are in agricultural production, the types 
of activities that might trigger a consultation include irrigation 
ditch system projects that may require section 404 authorizations 
from the Corps, and watershed management and restoration projects 
sponsored by NRCS. However the NRCS restoration projects typically 
are voluntary, and the irrigation ditch system projects within lands 
that are in agricultural production are rare, and would likely 
affect only a small percentage of the small entities within these 
proposed critical habitat designations. We are not aware of any 
commercial activities on the Federal lands included in these 
proposed critical habitat designations. Therefore, we conclude that 
this proposed designation of critical habitat on the island of Maui 
would not affect a substantial number of small entities.
    The entire island of Kahoolawe is under State ownership and 
within the State Conservation District. The current and projected 
land uses on Kahoolawe are land restoration and ordinance removal 
(DAHI 2001). For these reasons we conclude that the proposed rule 
would not affect a substantial number of small entities on the 
island of Kahoolawe.
    Based on our experience with section 7 consultations for all 
listed species, virtually all projects--including those that, in 
their initial proposed form, would result in jeopardy or adverse 
modification determinations in section 7 consultations--can be 
implemented successfully with, at most, the adoption of reasonable 
and prudent alternatives. These measures must be economically 
feasible and within the scope of authority of the Federal agency 
involved in the consultation. As we have a limited consultation 
history for these 61 species from Maui and Kahoolawe, we can only 
describe the general kinds of actions that may be identified in 
future reasonable and prudent alternatives. These are based on our 
understanding of the needs of these species and the threats they 
face, especially as described in the final listing rules and in this 
proposed critical habitat designation, as well as our experience 
with similar listed plants in Hawaii. In addition, all of these 
species are protected under the State of Hawaii's Endangered Species 
Act (Hawaii Revised Statutes, Chap. 195D-4). Therefore, we have also 
considered the kinds of actions required under the State licensing 
process for these species. The kinds of actions that may be included 
in future reasonable and prudent alternatives include conservation 
set-asides, management of competing non-native species, restoration 
of degraded habitat, propagation, outplanting and augmentation of 
existing populations, construction of protective fencing, and 
periodic monitoring. These measures are not likely to result in a 
significant economic impact to a substantial number of small 
entities because any measures included as a reasonable and prudent 
alternative would have to be economically feasible to the individual 
landowner, and because as discussed above, we do not believe there 
will be a substantial number of small entities affected.
    As required under section 4(b)(2) of the Act, we will conduct an 
analysis of the potential economic impacts of this proposed

[[Page 15959]]

critical habitat designation, and will make that analysis available 
for public review and comment before finalizing these designations.
    In summary, we have considered whether this proposed rule would 
result in a significant economic effect on a substantial number of 
small entities. It would not affect a substantial number of small 
entities. Approximately 45 percent of the lands proposed as critical 
habitat are on State of Hawaii lands. The State of Hawaii is not a 
small entity. Approximately 37 percent of the lands proposed as 
critical habitat are on private lands. Many of these parcels are 
located in areas where likely future land uses are not expected to 
result in Federal involvement or section 7 consultations. As 
discussed earlier, most of the private and State parcels within the 
proposed designation are currently being used for recreational and 
agricultural purposes and, therefore, are not likely to require any 
Federal authorization. In the remaining areas, section 7 
application, the only trigger for regulatory impact under this rule, 
would be limited to a subset of the area proposed. The most likely 
future section 7 consultations resulting from this rule would be for 
informal consultations on federally funded land and water 
conservation projects, species-specific surveys and research 
projects, and watershed management and restoration projects 
sponsored by NRCS. These consultations would likely occur on only a 
subset of the total number of parcels and therefore not likely to 
affect a substantial number of small entities. This rule would 
result in project modifications only when proposed Federal 
activities would destroy or adversely modify critical habitat. While 
this may occur, it is not expected frequently enough to affect a 
substantial number of small entities. Even when it does occur, we do 
not expect it to result in a significant economic impact, as the 
measures included in reasonable and prudent alternatives must be 
economically feasible and consistent with the proposed action. 
Therefore, we are certifying that the proposed designation of 
critical habitat for the following species: Alectryon macrococcus, 
Argyroxiphium sandwicense ssp. macrocephalum, Asplenium fragile var. 
insulare, Bidens micrantha ssp. kalealaha, Bonamia menziesii, 
Brighamia rockii, Cenchrus agrimonioides, Centaurium sebaeoides, 
Clermontia lindseyana, Clermontia oblongifolia ssp. mauiensis, 
Clermontia samuelii, Colubrina oppositifolia, Ctenitis squamigera, 
Cyanea copelandii ssp. haleakalaensis, Cyanea glabra, Cyanea 
grimesiana ssp. grimesiana, Cyanea hamatiflora ssp. hamatiflora, 
Cyanea lobata, Cyanea mceldowneyi, Cyrtandra munroi, Diellia erecta, 
Diplazium molokaiense, Dubautia plantaginea ssp. humilis, Flueggea 
neowawraea, Geranium arboreum, Geranium multiflorum, Gouania 
vitifolia, Hedyotis coriacea, Hedyotis mannii, Hesperomannia 
arborescens, Hesperomannia arbuscula, Hibiscus brackenridgei, 
Ischaemum byrone, Isodendrion pyrifolium, Kanaloa kahoolawensis, 
Lipochaeta kamolensis, Lysimachia lydgatei, Mariscus pennatiformis, 
Melicope adscendens, Melicope balloui, Melicope knudsenii, Melicope 
mucronulata, Melicope ovalis, Neraudia sericea, Nototrichium humile, 
Peucedanum sandwicense, Phlegmariurus mannii, Phyllostegia mannii, 
Phyllostegia mollis, Plantago princeps, Platanthera holochila, 
Pteris lidgatei, Remya mauiensis, Sanicula purpurea, Schiedea 
haleakalensis, Sesbania tomentosa, Spermolepis hawaiiensis, 
Tetramolopium capillare, Tetramolopium remyi, Vigna o-wahuensis, and 
Zanthoxylum hawaiiense will not have a significant economic impact 
on a substantial number of small entities, and an initial regulatory 
flexibility analysis is not required. However, should the economic 
analysis of this rule indicate otherwise, we will revisit this 
determination.

Executive Order 13211

    On May 18, 2001, the President issued Executive Order 13211, on 
regulations that significantly affect energy supply, distribution, 
and use. Executive Order 13211 requires agencies to prepare 
Statements of Energy Effects when undertaking certain actions. 
Although this rule is a significant regulatory action under 
Executive Order 12866, it is not expected to significantly affect 
energy supplies, distribution, or use. Therefore, this action is not 
a significant energy action and no Statement of Energy Effects is 
required.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.)

    In accordance with the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (2 U.S.C. 
1501 et seq.):
    a. We believe this rule, as proposed, will not ``significantly 
or uniquely'' affect small governments. A Small Government Agency 
Plan is not required. Small governments will not be affected unless 
they propose an action requiring Federal funds, permits or other 
authorizations. Any such activities will require that the Federal 
agency ensure that the action will not adversely modify or destroy 
designated critical habitat. However, as discussed above, these 
actions are currently subject to equivalent restrictions through the 
listing protections of the species, and no further restrictions are 
anticipated to result from critical habitat designation of occupied 
areas. In our economic analysis, we will evaluate any impact of 
designating areas where section 7 consultations would not have 
occurred but for the critical habitat designation.
    b. This rule, as proposed, will not produce a Federal mandate on 
State or local governments or the private sector of $100 million or 
greater in any year, that is, it is not a ``significant regulatory 
action'' under the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act. The designation of 
critical habitat imposes no direct obligations on State or local 
governments.

Takings

    In accordance with Executive Order 12630 (``Government Actions 
and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Private Property 
Rights''), we have analyzed the potential takings implications of 
designating critical habitat for the 61 species from Maui and 
Kahoolawe in a preliminary takings implication assessment. The 
takings implications assessment concludes that this proposed rule 
does not pose significant takings implications. Once the economic 
analysis is completed for this proposed rule, we will review and 
revise this preliminary assessment as warranted.

Federalism

    In accordance with Executive Order 13132, the proposed rule does 
not have significant Federalism effects. A Federalism assessment is 
not required. In keeping with Department of the Interior policy, we 
requested information from appropriate State agencies in Hawaii. The 
designation of critical habitat in areas currently occupied by one 
or more of the 61 plant species imposes no additional restrictions 
to those currently in place, and, therefore, has little incremental 
impact on State and local governments and their activities. The 
designation of critical habitat in unoccupied areas may require 
section 7 consultation on non-Federal lands (where a Federal nexus 
occurs) that might otherwise not have occurred. However, there will 
be little additional impact on State and local governments and their 
activities because all of the proposed critical habitat areas are 
occupied by at least one species. The designations may have some 
benefit to these governments in that the areas essential to the 
conservation of these species are more clearly defined, and the 
primary constituent elements of the habitat necessary to the 
survival of the species are specifically identified. While this 
definition and identification does not alter where and what 
federally sponsored activities may occur, it may assist these local 
governments in long-range planning, rather than waiting for case-by-
case section 7 consultation to occur.

Civil Justice Reform

    In accordance with Executive Order 12988, the Office of the 
Solicitor has determined that the rule does not unduly burden the 
judicial system and does meet the requirements of sections 3(a) and 
3(b)(2) of the Order. We are proposing to designate critical habitat 
in accordance with the provisions of the Endangered Species Act. The 
rule uses standard property descriptions and identifies the primary 
constituent elements within the designated areas to assist the 
public in understanding the habitat needs of the 61 plant species.

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.)

    This rule does not contain any new collections of information 
that require approval by OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act. This 
rule will not impose recordkeeping or reporting requirements on 
State or local governments, individuals, businesses, or 
organizations. An agency may not conduct or sponsor and a person is 
not required to respond to a collection of information unless it 
displays a currently valid OMB control number.

National Environmental Policy Act

    We have determined we do not need to prepare an Environmental 
Assessment and/or an Environmental Impact Statement as defined by 
the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 in connection with 
regulations adopted pursuant to section 4(a)

[[Page 15960]]

of the Endangered Species Act, as amended. We published a notice 
outlining our reason for this determination in the Federal Register 
on October 25, 1983 (48 FR 49244). This proposed determination does 
not constitute a major Federal action significantly affecting the 
quality of the human environment.

Government-to-Government Relationship with Tribes

    In accordance with the President's memorandum of April 29, 1994, 
``Government-to-Government Relations with Native American Tribal 
Governments'' (59 FR 22951) E.O. 13175 and 512 DM 2, we readily 
acknowledge our responsibility to communicate meaningfully with 
recognized Federal Tribes on a government-to-government basis. We 
have determined that there are no tribal lands essential for the 
conservation of these 61 plant species. Therefore, designation of 
critical habitat for these 61 species has not been proposed on 
Tribal lands.
