Summary
We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), designate critical habitat pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act), for Delphinium bakeri (Baker's larkspur) and Delphinium luteum (yellow larkspur). We are designating 2 units totaling approximately 740 hectares (ha) (1,828 acres (ac)) for D. bakeri, and 4 units totaling approximately 1,022 ha (2,525 ac) for D. luteum, in Marin and Sonoma counties, California. The total critical habitat for both plants is approximately 1,762 ha (4,353 ac) in 6 units. This critical habitat designation provides additional protection under section 7 of the Act with regard to actions carried out, funded, or authorized by a Federal agency. Section 4 of the Act requires us to consider economic and other relevant impacts when specifying any particular area as critical habitat. We solicited data and comments from the public on all aspects of this proposal, including data on economic and other impacts of the designation.
