SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Correction
On July 22, 2021, we published in the Federal Register (86 FR
38570) a final rule that was issued to comply with a court order to
vacate Unit 6 and the New Mexico portion of Unit 5 from the March 5,
2014, final rule designating approximately 764,207 acres (309,263
hectares) of land in New Mexico and Arizona as critical habitat for the
jaguar under the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). In two places in the
preamble of the July 22, 2021, final rule, we erroneously stated that
the final rule removes approximately 110,438 acres (44,693 hectares) of
land within New Mexico from the designation of critical habitat for the
jaguar. This document corrects the preamble to state that the July 22,
2021, final rule removes approximately 59,286 acres (23,993 hectares)
of land within New Mexico from the designation of critical habitat for
the jaguar. We are not making any corrections to the maps we codified
in the July 22, 2021, final rule; they are correct as published (86 FR
38570, July 22, 2021, pp. 86 FR 38571-38572).
Therefore, in the final rule published at 86 FR 38570, in the July
22, 2021, issue of the Federal Register, we make the following
corrections to the preamble:
1. On page 38570 in the third column, second line, we remove the
words ``110,438 acres (44,693 hectares)'' and add in their place the
words ``59,286 acres (23,993 hectares)''.
2. On page 38571 in the first column, in the first sentence under
Effects of the Rule, we remove the words ``110,438 acres (44,693
hectares)'' and add in their place the words ``59,286 acres (23,993
hectares)''.
Administrative Procedure
We have determined, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B), that prior
notice and opportunity for public comment are impractical and
unnecessary. Public comment could not inform this correction process in
any meaningful way. We have further determined that, under 5 U.S.C.
553(d)(3), the agency has good cause to make this rule effective upon
publication, as it is important for the proper administration of our
programs for our rulemaking documents published in the Federal Register
to be complete and accurate.
Authority
The authority for this action is the Endangered Species Act (16
U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)
Martha Williams,
Principal Deputy Director, Exercising the Delegated Authority of the
Director, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
