Service Proposes Adding Austin Blind Salamander to the Barton Springs Salamander Recovery Plan

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) announces the availability of a draft addendum to the 2005 Barton Springs salamander Recovery Plan to include the Austin blind salamander. By supplementing the Barton Springs salamander Recovery Plan with the draft addendum for the Austin blind salamander, we believe we can more efficiently and effectively recover the Austin blind salamander. The public will have 60 days to review and comment on the proposed addendum. Additional information on the draft addendum is available at http://www.fws.gov/southwest/es/AustinTexas/.
