RIN 1018-AY22
Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Determination of
Threatened Species Status for the Georgetown Salamander and Salado
Salamander Throughout Their Ranges; Final Rule; Correction
AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.
ACTION: Correcting amendments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, published a final rule
in the Federal Register on February 24, 2014, to list the Georgetown
salamander and Salado salamander as threatened throughout their ranges
under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (Act), as amended (Act).
Inadvertently, we made a technical error in our regulatory text. This
action makes the necessary correction to the List of Endangered and
Threatened Wildlife. We are also taking this opportunity to revise
another entry on the List to correct a typographical error.
DATES: This correction is effective April 11, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Salamander Corrections
In a final rule that published February 24, 2014 (79 FR 10236), we
added the Georgetown salamander (Eurycea naufragia) and the Salado
salamander (Eurycea chisholmensis) to the List of Endangered and
Threatened Wildlife, which is presented in a table format in the Code
of Federal Regulations at 50 CFR 17.11(h). However, we inadvertently
left out the ``When listed'' number in the table entry for each of the
two species.
A ``When Listed'' number is a footnote that directs readers to a
list of publication dates printed in a list below the table. This field
is not regulatory, but gives readers helpful information that enables
them to find the final rule as it appeared in the Federal Register.
The Georgetown salamander and the Salado salamander should have the
same ``When listed'' number: 829. Therefore, we are correcting the
table to include the ``When listed'' number for both species. This
change does not affect the status of either species under the Act.
Additional Correction
In this rulemaking document we also include language to correct a
typographical error in the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife.
When the vicu[ntilde]a was added to the List in 2002 (67 FR 37695, May
30, 2002), an error was introduced in the ``Vertebrate population where
endangered or threatened'' column. ``Ecuador'' was erroneously
presented as ``Ecudator''. We take this opportunity to correct this
error.
