Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Designation of Critical Habitat for Barrens Topminnow

Issuing agencies

Abstract

We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), propose to designate critical habitat for the Barrens topminnow (Fundulus julisia) under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). In total, approximately 1.5 acres (0.6 hectares) of spring pool and 11.4 miles (18.3 kilometers) of spring run in Cannon, Coffee, Dekalb, Franklin, Grundy, and Warren Counties, Tennessee, fall within the boundaries of the proposed critical habitat designation. We also announce the availability of an economic analysis of the proposed designation of critical habitat for the Barrens topminnow.
