SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The coastal California gnatcatcher is a

small, insect-eating bird with dark bluegray plumage above and grayish-white

plumage below. The tail is mostly black

above and below. The male has a

distinctive black cap which is absent

during the winter. Both sexes have a

distinctive white eye-ring. The coastal

California gnatcatcher is primarily

restricted to sage scrub and scrub

habitats found in coastal southern

California and northwestern Baja

California, Mexico, from Ventura and

San Bernardino counties, California,

south to approximately El Rosario,

Mexico, at about 30° north latitude. The

once-common species was federally

listed as threatened in March 1993, due

to habitat loss and fragmentation

resulting from urban and agricultural

development, and the cumulative effects

of cowbird parasitism and predation (58

FR 16742). On February 7, 2000, we

published a determination proposing

323,726 hectares (799,916 acres) of sage

scrub and scrub habitats as critical

habitat for the coastal California

gnatcatcher in the Federal Register (65

FR 5946) pursuant to the Endangered

Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act).

Critical habitat is proposed in Los

Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San

Bernardino, and San Diego counties,

California, as described in the proposed

determination.

Section 4(b)(2) of the Act requires that

the Secretary shall designate or revise

critical habitat based upon the best

scientific and commercial data available

and after taking into consideration the

economic impact of specifying any

particular area as critical habitat. Based

upon the previously published proposal

to designate critical habitat for the

coastal California gnatcatcher and

comments received during the previous

comment period, we have prepared a

draft economic analysis of the proposed

critical habitat designation, which is

available at the above Internet and

mailing address. We have reopened the

comment period at this time in order to

accept the best and most current

scientific and commercial data available

regarding the proposed critical habitat

and the draft economic analysis. We

will accept written comments during

this reopened comment period.

Previously submitted oral or written

comments on this critical habitat

proposal need not be resubmitted. The

current comment period on this

proposal closes on July 31, 2000.

Written comments may be submitted to

the Carlsbad Fish and Wildlife Office in

the ADDRESSES section.

Author

The primary author of this notice is

Douglas Krofta (see ADDRESSES section).

Authority: The authority for this action is

the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16

U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).

Dated: June 23, 2000.
