Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Revised Critical 
Habitat for the Tidewater Goby (Eucyclogobius newberryi)

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), propose to 
revise currently designated critical habitat for the tidewater goby 
(Eucyclogobius newberryi) under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 
amended (Act). We originally designated critical habitat for the 
tidewater goby on November 20, 2000 (65 FR 69693). We are proposing to 
revise the critical habitat for the tidewater goby to a total of 
approximately 10,003 acres (ac) (4,050 hectares (ha)). This is an 
increase of approximately 8,422 ac (3,408 ha) from the currently 
designated critical habitat. In the previous rule, critical habitat was 
only designated in Orange and San Diego Counties due to uncertainty 
over the future listing status of tidewater goby populations to the 
north. The proposed revised critical habitat is located in Del Norte, 
Humboldt, Mendocino, Sonoma, Marin, San Mateo, Santa Cruz, Monterey, 
San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Ventura, and Los Angeles Counties, 
California.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Public Comments Solicited

    We intend that any final action resulting from this proposal will 
be as accurate and as effective as possible. Therefore, comments or 
suggestions from the public, other concerned governmental agencies, the 
scientific community, industry, or any other interested party 
concerning this proposed rule are hereby solicited. Comments 
particularly are sought concerning the following issues.
    (1) The reasons any habitat should or should not be determined to 
be critical habitat as provided by section 4 of the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 
et seq.), including whether the benefit of designation will outweigh 
any threats to the species due to designation;
    (2) Specific information on the amount and distribution of 
tidewater goby habitat, what areas should be included in the 
designation that were occupied at the time of listing that contain the 
features that are essential for the conservation of the species and 
why, and what areas not occupied at the time of listing are essential 
to the conservation of the species and why;
    (3) Land use designations and current or planned activities in the 
subject areas and their possible impacts on proposed revised critical 
habitat;
    (4) Any foreseeable economic, national security, or other potential 
impacts resulting from the proposed revision of critical habitat and, 
in particular, any impacts on small entities;
    (5) Whether our approach to designating critical habitat could be 
improved or modified in any way to provide for greater public 
participation and understanding, or to assist us in accommodating 
public concerns and comments;
    (6) Whether our general approach to determine which localities to 
include in proposed critical habitat (44 of the 112 localities that are 
currently occupied by tidewater gobies) could be improved or modified;
    (7) Specifically with reference to those State Park lands under the 
jurisdiction of the California Department of Parks and Recreation 
(CDPR) that are proposed for designation, information on any areas 
covered by conservation or management plans that we should consider for 
exclusion from the designation under section 4(b)(2) of the Act;
    (8) Any additional proposed critical habitat areas covered by 
conservation or management plans that we should consider for exclusion 
from the designation under section 4(b)(2) of the Act. We specifically 
request any information on any operative or draft habitat conservation 
plans for the tidewater goby that have been prepared under section 
10(a)(1)(B) of the Act, or any other management or other conservation 
plan or agreement that benefits the goby or its primary constituent 
elements; and
    (9) Any information concerning Tribal lands or trust resources that 
may be impacted by this proposed revision to critical habitat.

withholding this information you must state this prominently at the 
beginning of your comments. In addition, you must present rationale for 
withholding this information. This rationale must demonstrate that 
disclosure would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of privacy. 
Unsupported assertions will not meet this burden. In the absence of 
exceptional, documentable circumstances, this information will be 
released. We will always make submissions from organizations or 
businesses, and from individuals identifying themselves as 
representatives of or officials of organizations or businesses, 
available for public inspection in their entirety.

Role of Critical Habitat in Actual Practice of Administering and 
Implementing the Act

    Attention to and protection of habitat is paramount to successful 
conservation actions. The role that designation of critical habitat 
plays in protecting habitat of listed species, however, is often 
misunderstood. As discussed in more detail below in the discussion of 
exclusions under section 4(b)(2) of the Act, there are significant 
limitations on the regulatory effect of designation under section 
7(a)(2) of the Act. In brief, (1) designation provides additional 
protection to habitat only where there is a Federal nexus; (2) the 
protection is relevant only when, in the absence of designation, 
destruction or adverse modification of the critical habitat would in 
fact take place (in other words, other statutory or regulatory 
protections, policies, or other factors relevant to agency decision-
making would not prevent the destruction or adverse modification); and 
(3) designation of critical habitat triggers the prohibition of 
destruction or adverse modification of that habitat, but it does not 
require specific actions to restore or improve habitat.
    Currently, only 476 species, or 36 percent of the 1,311 listed 
species in the United States under the jurisdiction of the Service, 
have designated critical habitat. We address the habitat needs of all 
1,311 listed species through conservation mechanisms such as listing, 
Section 7 consultations, the Section 4 recovery planning process, the 
Section 9 protective prohibitions of unauthorized take, Section 6 
funding to the States, the Section 10 incidental take permit process, 
and cooperative, nonregulatory efforts with private landowners. The 
Service believes that it is these measures that may make the difference 
between extinction and survival for many species.
    In considering potential exclusions of critical habitat proposed in 
this revision, we will evaluate the benefits of designation in light of 
Gifford Pinchot Task Force v. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 378 F.3d 
1059 (9th Cir 2004) (hereinafter Gifford Pinchot). In that case, the 
Ninth Circuit invalidated the Service's regulation defining 
``destruction or adverse modification of critical habitat.'' In 
response, on December 9, 2004, the Director issued guidance to be 
considered in making section 7 adverse modification determinations. 
This proposal to revise critical habitat does not use the invalidated 
regulation in our consideration of the benefits of including areas in 
this proposed revised designation. The Service will carefully manage 
future consultations that analyze impacts to designated critical 
habitat, particularly those that appear to be resulting in an adverse 
modification determination. Such consultations will be reviewed by the 
Regional Office prior to finalizing to ensure that an adequate analysis 
has been conducted that is informed by the Director's guidance.
    On the other hand, to the extent that designation of critical 
habitat provides protection, that protection can come at significant 
social and economic cost. In addition, the mere administrative process 
of designation of critical habitat is expensive, time-consuming, and 
controversial. The current statutory framework of critical habitat, 
combined with past judicial interpretations of the statute, make 
critical habitat the subject of excessive litigation. As a result, 
critical habitat designations are driven by litigation and courts 
rather than biology, and made at a time and under a time frame that 
limits our ability to obtain and evaluate the scientific and other 
information required to make the designation most meaningful.
    In light of these circumstances, the Service believes that 
additional agency discretion would allow our focus to return to those 
actions that provide the greatest benefit to the species most in need 
of protection.

Procedural and Resource Difficulties in Designating Critical Habitat

    We have been inundated with lawsuits for our failure to designate 
critical habitat, and we face a growing number of lawsuits challenging 
critical habitat determinations once they are made. These lawsuits have 
subjected the Service to an ever-increasing series of court orders and 
court-approved settlement agreements, compliance with which now 
consumes nearly the entire listing program budget. This leaves the 
Service with little ability to prioritize its activities to direct 
scarce listing resources to the listing program actions with the most 
biologically urgent species conservation needs.
    The consequence of the critical habitat litigation activity is that 
limited listing funds are used to defend active lawsuits, to respond to 
Notices of Intent (NOIs) to sue relative to critical habitat, and to 
comply with the growing number of adverse court orders. As a result, 
listing petition responses, the Service's own proposals to list 
critically imperiled species, and final listing determinations on 
existing proposals are all significantly delayed.
    The accelerated schedules of court-ordered designations have left 
the Service with limited ability to provide for public participation or 
to ensure a defect-free rulemaking process before making decisions on 
listing and critical habitat proposals, due to the risks associated 
with noncompliance with judicially imposed deadlines. This in turn 
fosters a second round of litigation in which those who fear adverse 
impacts from critical habitat designations challenge those 
designations. The cycle of litigation appears endless, and is 
expensive, thus diverting resources from conservation actions that may 
provide relatively more benefit to imperiled species.
    The costs resulting from the designation include legal costs, the 
cost of preparation and publication of the designation, the analysis of 
the economic effects and the cost of requesting and responding to 
public comment, and in some cases the costs of compliance with the 
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA; 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.). These 
costs, which are not required for many other conservation actions, 
directly reduce the funds available for direct and tangible 
conservation actions.

Background

    It is our intent to discuss only those topics directly relevant to 
the proposal

[[Page 68916]]

to revise critical habitat in this rule. For more information on the 
tidewater goby, refer to the final rule listing the species, which was 
published in the Federal Register on February 4, 1994 (59 FR 5494), or 
the final rule designating critical habitat for the species in Orange 
and San Diego Counties, California, which was published in the Federal 
Register on November 20, 2000 (65 FR 69693).

Species Description and Genetic/Morphological Characteristics

    The tidewater goby is a small, elongate, grey-brown fish rarely 
exceeding 2 inches (in) (5 centimeters (cm)) in length. This species 
possesses large pectoral fins, and the pelvic or ventral fins are 
joined to each other below the chest and belly from below the gill 
cover back to just anterior of the anus. Male tidewater gobies are 
nearly transparent with a mottled brownish upper surface. Female 
tidewater gobies develop darker colors, often black, on the body and 
dorsal and anal fins. The tidewater goby is a short-lived species; the 
lifespan of most individuals appears to be about 1 year (Irwin and 
Soltz 1984, p. 26; Swift et al. 1989, p. 4).
    Various genetic markers demonstrate that pronounced differences in 
the genetic structure of tidewater gobies exist, and that tidewater 
gobies in some locations are genetically distinct. A recent study of 
mitochondrial DNA and cytochrome b (molecular material used in genetic 
studies) sequences from tidewater gobies that were collected at 31 
locations throughout the species' range identified six major 
phylogeographic (geographic differences in the evolution of a species) 
or regional groups (Dawson et al. 2001, p. 1171). These six regional 
groups include the following areas: (1) Tillas Slough (Smith River) in 
Del Norte County to Lagoon Creek in Mendocino County, i.e., the North 
Coast (NC) Unit; (2) Salmon Creek in Sonoma County to Bennett's Slough 
in Monterey County, i.e., the Greater Bay (GB) Unit; (3) Arroyo del Oso 
to Morro Bay in San Luis Obispo County, i.e., the Central Coast (CC) 
Unit; (4) San Luis Obispo Creek in San Luis Obispo County to Rincon 
Creek in Santa Barbara County, i.e., the Conception (CO) Unit; (5) 
Ventura River in Ventura County to Topanga Creek in Los Angeles County, 
i.e., the Los Angeles-Ventura (LV) Unit; and (6) San Pedro Harbor in 
Los Angeles County to Los Pe[ntilde]asquitos Lagoon in San Diego 
County, i.e., the South Coast (SC) Unit.

Metapopulation Dynamics

    Local populations of tidewater gobies are best characterized as 
metapopulations (Lafferty et al. 1999a, p. 1448). First, local goby 
populations are frequently isolated from other local populations by 
extensive areas of unsuitable habitat. Second, gobies occupy coastal 
lagoons and estuaries that in most cases are separated from each other 
by the open ocean. Very few tidewater gobies have ever been captured in 
the marine environment (Swift et al. 1989, p. 7), which suggests this 
species rarely occurs in the open ocean. Studies of the tidewater goby 
suggest that some populations persist on a consistent basis (Lafferty 
et al. 1999a, p. 1452), while other tidewater goby populations appear 
to experience intermittent extirpations. These extirpations may result 
from one or a series of factors, such as the drying up of some small 
streams during prolonged droughts (Lafferty et al. 1999a, p. 1451). 
Some of the areas where tidewater gobies have been extirpated 
apparently have been recolonized when extant populations were present 
within a relatively short distance of the extirpated population (i.e., 
less than 6 miles (mi) (10 kilometers (km)). These recolonization 
events suggest that tidewater goby populations exhibit a metapopulation 
dynamic where some populations survive or remain viable by continually 
exchanging individuals and recolonizations may occur after occasional 
extirpations (Doak and Mills 1994, p. 619).
    Lafferty et al. (1999b) monitored the post-flood persistence of 
several tidewater goby populations in Santa Barbara and Los Angeles 
Counties during and after the heavy winter floods of 1995. All of the 
monitored populations persisted after the floods, and no significant 
changes in population sizes were noted (Lafferty et al. 1999b, p. 621). 
Tidewater gobies apparently colonized Ca[ntilde]ada Honda in Santa 
Barbara County after one flood event (Lafferty et al. 1999b, p. 621). 
This information suggests that flooding may sometimes contribute to 
recolonization of habitats where a tidewater goby population has become 
extirpated.
    The largest wetland habitats where tidewater gobies have been known 
to occur are not necessarily the most secure, as evidenced by the fact 
that the Santa Margarita River in San Diego County and the San 
Francisco Bay have lost their populations of tidewater goby. Today, the 
majority of the most stable and largest tidewater goby populations 
consist of lagoons and estuaries of intermediate sizes, i.e., 5 to 125 
ac (2 to 50 ha) that have remained relatively unaffected by human 
activities (Service 2005, p. 12). Many of the localities where 
tidewater gobies are consistently present may be ``source'' 
populations, and such locations may provide the colonists for 
localities that intermittently lose their tidewater goby populations.
    Historical records and survey results for several localities 
occupied by the tidewater goby are available (e.g., Swift et al. 1989, 
pp. 18-19; Swift et al. 1994, pp. 8-16). These documents suggest the 
persistence of tidewater goby populations is related to habitat size, 
configuration, location, and proximity to human development. In 
general, the most stable and persistent tidewater goby populations 
occur in the lagoons and estuaries that are more than 2.47 ac (1 ha) in 
size and that have remained relatively unaffected by human activities 
(Lafferty et al. 1999a, pp. 1450-1453). We note, however, that some 
systems that are affected or altered by human activities also have 
relatively large and stable populations (e.g., Humboldt Bay in Humboldt 
County, Pismo Creek in San Luis Obispo County, Santa Ynez River in 
Santa Barbara County, and the Santa Clara River in Ventura County). 
Also, some habitats less than 2.47 ac (1 ha) in size have tidewater 
goby populations that persist on a regular basis (Swift et al. 1997, p. 
3; Keegan 2006, p. 8). The best available information suggests that the 
lagoons and estuaries that have persistent populations are likely the 
core populations that provide the individuals that colonize adjacent, 
smaller localities that have ephemeral tidewater goby populations 
(Lafferty et al. 1999a, p. 1452).

Distribution

    The known geographic range of the tidewater goby is limited to the 
coast of California (Eschmeyer et al. 1983, p. 262; Swift et al. 1989, 
p. 12). The species historically occurred from localities that extended 
from 3 mi (5 km) south of the California--Oregon border (i.e., Tillas 
Slough in Del Norte County) to 44 mi (71 km) north of the United 
States--Mexico border (i.e., Agua Hedionda Lagoon in San Diego County). 
The available documentation (e.g., Eschmeyer et al. 1983, p. 262; Swift 
et al. 1989, p. 12) suggests the northernmost locality that forms one 
end of the historical and current geographic range of the tidewater 
goby has not changed over time. Tidewater gobies do not currently occur 
in Agua Hedionda Lagoon, and the species' southernmost known locality 
currently is located in Cockleburr Canyon 9.2 mi (14.8 km) north of 
Agua Hedionda Lagoon. Although the northernmost and southernmost extent 
of the goby's range has not changed much over time, the

[[Page 68917]]

goby's overall population has become patchy and fragmented along the 
coast.
    Tidewater gobies appear to be naturally absent from several large 
(50 to 135 mi (80 to 217 km)) stretches of coastline where lagoons or 
estuaries are absent, and steep topography or swift currents may 
prevent tidewater gobies from dispersing between adjacent localities 
(Swift et al. 1989, p. 13). One such gap in lagoons and estuaries 
occurs between the Eel River in Humboldt County and the Ten Mile River 
in Mendocino County. A second gap exists between Lagoon Creek in 
Mendocino County and Salmon Creek in Sonoma County. Another large, 
natural gap occurs between the Salinas River in Monterey County and 
Arroyo del Oso in San Luis Obispo County. Habitat loss and other 
anthropogenic-related factors have resulted in the tidewater goby now 
being absent from several locations where it historically occurred; 
their recent disappearance from specific locations has created smaller, 
artificial gaps in the species' geographic distribution (Capelli 1997, 
p. 7). Such locations include Buena Vista Lagoon and Agua Hedionda 
Lagoon in San Diego County, Calleguas Creek/Mugu Lagoon in Ventura 
County, San Francisco Bay in San Francisco and Alameda Counties, and 
Redwood Creek and Freshwater Lagoon in Humboldt County.
    Swift et al. (1989, p. 13) reported that, as of 1984, tidewater 
gobies occurred, or had been known to occur, at 87 localities; these 
localities included those at the extreme northern and southern end of 
the species' historical geographic range. An assessment of the species' 
distribution in 1993, using records that were limited to the area 
between the Monterey Peninsula in Monterey County and the United 
States--Mexico border, found tidewater gobies occurring at four 
additional localities (Swift et al. 1993, p. 129). Other goby 
localities have been identified since 1993, and currently tidewater 
gobies have been documented at 135 localities within the historical 
geographic range of the species (Service 2005, p. 6). Of these 135 
localities, 23 (17 percent) are no longer known to be occupied by 
tidewater gobies. Therefore, 112 localities are currently occupied.

Habitat

    The lagoons, estuaries, backwater marshes, and freshwater 
tributaries that tidewater gobies occupy are dynamic environments that 
are subject to considerable fluctuations on a seasonal and annual 
basis. In a typical year, the formation of a sandbar occurs in the late 
spring as flow into a lagoon declines enough to allow the ocean surf to 
build up the sandbar at the mouth of the lagoon. Winter rains and 
subsequently increased stream flows may bring in considerable sediment 
and dramatically affect the bottom profile and substrate composition of 
a lagoon or estuary. Fine mud and clay either moves through the lagoon 
or estuary or settles out in backwater marshes, while heavier sand is 
left in the lagoon or estuary. High flows associated with winter rains 
can scour out the lagoon bottom to lower levels, with sand building up 
again after flows decline. These dynamic processes result in wetland 
habitats that, over time, move both laterally and up- or down-gradient 
relative to stationary features that exist outside the flood zone 
(e.g., roads or buildings).
    The horizontal extent of the lentic (pond-like) wetland habitat 
associated with a particular tidewater goby locality varies on a site-
specific basis, and is affected in part by local precipitation patterns 
and topography. In coastal areas where the topography is steep and 
precipitation is relatively low (e.g., areas adjacent to the Santa Ynez 
Mountains in Santa Barbara County), the habitats occupied by tidewater 
gobies may be a few acres in size, only extend a few hundred feet 
inland from the ocean, and backwater marshes may be small or absent. In 
other coastal settings where precipitation is more abundant: (1) 
Topography is less steep and surface streams are larger; (2) coastal 
lagoons or estuaries may be hundreds of acres in size and extend many 
miles inland; and (3) extensive backwater marshes may be present (e.g., 
Lake Earl in Del Norte County and Ten Mile River in Mendocino County).
    Some localities occupied by tidewater gobies receive surface or 
ground water from upstream areas on a year-round basis. Such localities 
(e.g., Bennett's Slough in Monterey County) tend to possess wetland 
habitats that are larger and can extend inland for several hundred feet 
or even miles. Other occupied locations do not possess stream channels 
or tributaries that provide a considerable amount of water throughout 
the summer or fall months. Such locations (e.g., Little Pico Creek in 
San Luis Obispo County) tend to possess wetland habitats that only 
extend a short distance inland from the ocean (i.e., 290 ft (88 m)).

Reproduction

    Tidewater gobies have been observed spawning in every month of the 
year except December (Swenson 1999, p. 107). Reproduction tends to peak 
in late April or May to July, and can continue into November depending 
on seasonal temperature and rainfall. Swenson (1995, p. 31) has 
documented spawning behavior in adult fish and the presence of egg 
clutches at water temperatures between 48 and 77 degrees Fahrenheit (F) 
(9 and 25 degrees Celsius (C)). Spawning tidewater gobies have been 
observed in water salinities between 2 and 27 parts per thousand (ppt) 
(Swenson 1999, p. 31).

Threats

    The final listing rule for the tidewater goby that was published in 
1994 (59 FR 5494) states that this species is threatened, or 
potentially threatened, by: (1) Coastal development projects that 
result in the loss or alteration of coastal wetland habitat; (2) water 
diversions and alterations of water flows upstream of coastal lagoons 
and estuaries that negatively impact the species' breeding and foraging 
activities; (3) groundwater overdrafting; (4) channelization of the 
rivers where the species occurs; (5) discharge of agricultural and 
sewage effluents; (6) cattle grazing and feral pig activity that 
results in increased sedimentation of coastal lagoons and riparian 
habitats, removal of vegetative cover, increased ambient water 
temperatures, and elimination of plunge pools and undercut banks 
utilized by tidewater gobies; (7) introduced species that prey on the 
tidewater goby (e.g., bass (Micropterus spp.) and crayfish (Cambaris 
spp.)); (8) the inadequacy of existing regulatory mechanisms; (9) 
drought conditions that result in the deterioration of coastal and 
riparian habitats; and (10) competition with introduced species such as 
the yellowfin goby (Acanthogobius flavimanus) and chameleon goby 
(Tridentiger trigonocephalus).

Previous Federal Actions

    On February 4, 1994, the tidewater goby was listed as endangered 
throughout its entire range (59 FR 5494). We did not designate critical 
habitat at the time we listed this species because we found that 
critical habitat for the tidewater goby was not then determinable.
    On September 18, 1998, the Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc., 
filed a lawsuit in Federal District Court in California against the 
United States Department of the Interior, et al., for failure to 
designate critical habitat for the tidewater goby. On April 5, 1999, 
Judge Carlos R. Moreno ordered that the ``Service publish a proposed 
critical habitat designation for the tidewater goby in 120 days' 
(Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc. v. United States

[[Page 68918]]

Department of the Interior et al. CV 98-7596 ).
    On June 24, 1999, we published a proposed rule to: (1) Delist 
populations of the tidewater goby in areas north of Orange and San 
Diego Counties, and (2) retain the tidewater goby populations in Orange 
and San Diego Counties as an endangered distinct population segment 
based on our re-evaluation of the species' status throughout its range 
(64 FR 33816). The Service proposed delisting northern populations of 
tidewater gobies because there were more populations in the north than 
were known at the time of listing, and it was believed that the threats 
to the northern populations may have been less severe and that the 
ability of tidewater gobies to recolonize sites may have been greater 
than previously thought.
    On August 3, 1999, we proposed critical habitat for the tidewater 
goby in Orange and San Diego Counties (64 FR 42250); we did not propose 
critical habitat for this species throughout the rest of its geographic 
range in 1999 because we believed that the tidewater goby populations 
north of Orange County did not warrant listing under the Act, and had 
proposed to delist the species north of Orange County; therefore there 
were no areas essential to the conservation of the tidewater goby north 
of Orange County. On November 20, 2000, the Service designated critical 
habitat for the tidewater goby in Orange and San Diego Counties (65 FR 
69693). The critical habitat designation consisted of 10 coastal stream 
segments that collectively measured 9 linear mi (14.5 km) in length.
    On November 7, 2002, we withdrew our proposal to delist the 
tidewater goby in areas north of Orange County (67 FR 67803) based in 
large part on comments from the public, the scientific community, 
industry, and other concerned government agencies and new information, 
received after the publication of the proposed rule, that indicated 
that the reasons for delisting may have been in error. Therefore, the 
tidewater goby has remained listed as an endangered species throughout 
its historical geographic range since 1994.
    On August 31, 2001, Cabrillo Power L.L.C. (Cabrillo) filed a 
lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of 
California challenging a portion of the November 20, 2000, final rule 
that designated the 10 critical habitat units in Orange and San Diego 
Counties. Specifically, Cabrillo objected to the critical habitat unit 
involving Agua Hedionda Lagoon and Creek. In a consent decree dated 
February 27, 2003, the U.S. District Court: (1) Agreed to vacate the 
critical habitat designation involving Agua Hedionda Lagoon and Creek; 
(2) stated the nine other critical habitat units should remain in 
effect; (3) stated the final rule designating critical habitat was 
remanded in its entirety for reconsideration; and (4) directed the 
Service to promulgate a revised critical habitat rule that considers 
the entire geographic range of the tidewater goby and any currently 
unoccupied tidewater goby habitat. The consent decree requires that the 
Service submit proposed and revised rules to the Federal Register no 
later than November 15, 2006, and November 1, 2007, respectively.

Critical Habitat

    Critical habitat is defined in section 3 of the Act as--(i) the 
specific areas within the geographical area occupied by a species, at 
the time it is listed in accordance with the Act, on which are found 
those physical or biological features (I) essential to the conservation 
of the species and (II) that may require special management 
considerations or protection; and (ii) specific areas outside the 
geographical area occupied by a species at the time it is listed, upon 
a determination that such areas are essential for the conservation of 
the species. Conservation, as defined under section 3 of the Act, means 
to use and the use of all methods and procedures which are necessary to 
bring any endangered species or threatened species to the point at 
which the measures provided pursuant to the Act are no longer 
necessary. Such methods and procedures include, but are not limited to, 
all activities associated with scientific resources management such as 
research, census, law enforcement, habitat acquisition and maintenance, 
propagation, live trapping and transplantation, and, in the 
extraordinary case where population pressures within a given ecosystem 
cannot be otherwise relieved, may include regulated taking.
    Critical habitat receives protection under section 7 of the Act 
through the prohibition against destruction or adverse modification of 
critical habitat with regard to actions carried out, funded, or 
authorized by a Federal agency. Section 7 requires consultation on 
Federal actions that are likely to result in the destruction or adverse 
modification of critical habitat. The designation of critical habitat 
does not affect land ownership or establish a refuge, wilderness, 
reserve, preserve, or other conservation area. Such designation does 
not allow government or public access to private lands. Section 7 is a 
purely protective measure and does not require implementation of 
restoration, recovery, or enhancement measures.
    To be included in a critical habitat designation, the habitat 
within the area occupied by the species must first have features that 
are essential to the conservation of the species. Critical habitat 
designations identify, to the extent known using the best scientific 
data available, habitat areas that provide essential life cycle needs 
of the species (i.e., areas on which are found the primary constituent 
elements (PCEs), as defined at 50 CFR 424.12(b)).
    Habitat occupied at the time of listing may be included in critical 
habitat only if the essential features thereon may require special 
management considerations or protection. Thus, we do not include areas 
where existing management is sufficient to conserve the species. (As 
discussed below, such areas may also be excluded from critical habitat 
pursuant to section 4(b)(2)). Areas outside of the geographic area 
occupied by the species at the time of listing may only be included in 
critical habitat if they are essential for the conservation of the 
species. Accordingly, when the best available scientific data do not 
demonstrate that the conservation needs of the species require 
additional areas, we will not designate critical habitat in areas 
outside the geographical area occupied by the species at the time of 
listing. An area currently occupied by the species that was not known 
to be occupied at the time of listing will likely, but not always, be 
essential to the conservation of the species and, therefore, typically 
included in the critical habitat designation.
    The Service's Policy on Information Standards Under the Endangered 
Species Act, published in the Federal Register on July 1, 1994 (59 FR 
34271), and Section 515 of the Treasury and General Government 
Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2001 (Pub. L. 106-554; H.R. 5658) 
and the associated Information Quality Guidelines issued by the 
Service, provide criteria, establish procedures, and provide guidance 
to ensure that decisions made by the Service represent the best 
scientific data available. They require Service biologists to the 
extent consistent with the Act and with the use of the best scientific 
data available, to use primary and original sources of information as 
the basis for recommendations to designate critical habitat. When 
determining which areas are critical habitat, a primary source of 
information is generally the listing package for the species. 
Additional information sources include the

[[Page 68919]]

recovery plan for the species, articles in peer-reviewed journals, 
conservation plans developed by States and counties, scientific status 
surveys and studies, biological assessments, or other unpublished 
materials and expert opinion or personal knowledge. All information is 
used in accordance with the provisions of Section 515 of the Treasury 
and General Government Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2001 (Pub. L. 
106-554; H.R. 5658) and the associated Information Quality Guidelines 
issued by the Service.
    Section 4 of the Act requires that we designate critical habitat on 
the basis of the best scientific data available. Habitat is often 
dynamic, and species may move from one area to another over time. 
Furthermore, we recognize that designation of critical habitat may not 
include all of the habitat areas that may eventually be determined to 
be necessary for the recovery of the species. For these reasons, 
critical habitat designations do not signal that habitat outside the 
designation is unimportant or may not be required for recovery.
    Areas that support populations, but are outside the critical 
habitat designation, will continue to be subject to conservation 
actions implemented under section 7(a)(1) of the Act and to the 
regulatory protections afforded by the section 7(a)(2) jeopardy 
standard, as determined on the basis of the best available information 
at the time of the action. Federally funded or permitted projects 
affecting listed species outside their designated critical habitat 
areas may still result in jeopardy findings in some cases. Similarly, 
critical habitat designations made on the basis of the best available 
information at the time of designation will not control the direction 
and substance of future recovery plans, habitat conservation plans, or 
other species conservation planning efforts if new information 
available to these planning efforts calls for a different outcome.

Methods

    As required by section 4(b)(2) of the Act, we use the best 
scientific data available in determining areas that contain the 
features that are essential to the conservation of the tidewater goby. 
The sources of data used in identifying critical habitat include 
information in our files regarding habitat requirements of this 
species, and the data sources mentioned in the published final rule 
that resulted in the designation of critical habitat in Orange and San 
Diego Counties (65 FR 69693). We also reviewed available information in 
reports submitted during section 7 consultations and by biologists 
holding section 10(a)(1)(A) recovery permits; information contained 
within the recently completed and peer reviewed tidewater goby recovery 
plan (Service 2005) that does not appear elsewhere; research published 
in peer-reviewed articles and presented in academic theses and agency 
reports; and regional Geographic Information System (GIS) coverages. We 
also solicited information from knowledgeable experts that have worked 
with the tidewater goby.

Primary Constituent Elements

    In accordance with section 3(5)(A)(i) of the Act and regulations at 
50 CFR 424.12, in determining which areas to propose as critical 
habitat within areas occupied by the species at the time of listing, we 
consider those physical and biological features that are essential to 
the conservation of the species and that may require special management 
considerations or protection. These include, but are not limited to, 
space for individual and population growth and for normal behavior; 
food, water, air, light, minerals, or other nutritional or 
physiological requirements; cover or shelter; sites for breeding, 
reproduction, and rearing (or development) of offspring; and habitats 
that are protected from disturbance or are representative of the 
historical geographical and ecological distributions of a species.
    The specific primary constituent elements required for the 
tidewater goby are derived from the biological needs of the tidewater 
goby as described in the Background section of this proposal and the 
following text.

Space for Individual and Population Growth and for Normal Behavior

Saline Aquatic Habitat
    Tidewater gobies occur in lagoons, estuaries, and backwater marshes 
that are adjacent to the Pacific Ocean (Wang 1982, p. 14; Irwin and 
Soltz 1984, p. 27; Swift et al. 1989, p. 1; Swenson 1993, p. 3; Moyle 
2002, p. 431). Tidewater gobies are most commonly found in waters with 
relatively low salinities, i.e., less than 10-12 ppt (Swift et al. 
1989, p. 7). This species can, however, tolerate a wide range of 
salinities and is frequently found in coastal habitats with higher 
salinity levels (Swift et al. 1989, p. 7; Worcester 1992, p. 106; Swift 
et al. 1997, pp. 15-22). The species has been collected in salinities 
as high as 42 ppt (Swift et al. 1989, p. 7). The species' tolerance of 
high salinities likely enables it to withstand some exposure to the 
marine environment, allowing it to recolonize nearby lagoons and 
estuaries following flood events. However, tidewater gobies have only 
rarely been captured in the marine environment (Swift et al. 1989, p. 
7), and they appear to enter the ocean only when flushed out of 
lagoons, estuaries, and river mouths by storm events.
Water Depth, Velocity, and Temperature
    Tidewater gobies are most commonly collected in water less than 6 
ft (2 m) deep (Wang 1982, pp. 4-5; Worchester 1992, p. 53). However, 
recently tidewater gobies were collected in Big Lagoon in Humboldt 
County during the breeding season at a water depth of 15 ft (4.6 m) 
(Goldsmith 2006a, p. 1). Whether use of these deeper waters is confined 
to this locality or is more widespread will require additional sampling 
at various depths at various locations.
    Tidewater gobies tend to avoid currents and concentrate in slack-
water areas; this suggests they are less likely to occur in areas with 
a steep gradient or microhabitats that have a substantial current. At 
Pescadero Creek in San Mateo County, tidewater gobies were absent from 
portions of the flowing creek that had a surface velocity of 0.15 m 
(0.49 ft per second), and the species was instead more densely 
concentrated in nearby eddies with lower water velocities (Swenson 
1993, p. 3).
    Backwater marshes, including lateral sloughs, are likely to be 
important to tidewater gobies for multiple reasons. Flood waters with 
increased water velocities can have a negative effect on tidewater 
gobies (Irwin and Soltz 1984, p. 27), and backwater marshes may provide 
important refuges that reduce the likelihood that tidewater gobies will 
be flushed out of the lagoons or estuaries and into the marine 
environment during heavy winter floods (Lafferty et al. 1999a, p. 619). 
Evidence that increased flows can eliminate tidewater gobies from a 
locality is suggested by the elimination of tidewater gobies from 
Waddell Creek in Santa Cruz County following a flood event in the 
winter of 1972-73 (Nelson as cited in Swift 1990, p. 2); this creek had 
been channelized and no longer afforded protection from high flows 
during flood events. Likewise, the channelization and elimination of 
habitat lateral to the main stream channel upstream of San Onofre 
Lagoon in San Diego County probably led to the flushing and extirpation 
of tidewater gobies from this locality during a storm in 1993 (Swift et 
al. 1994, p. 22-23). The importance of backwater marshes is also 
highlighted by the fact that tidewater gobies in these habitats can 
achieve a greater size than in adjacent lagoons and creeks (Swenson 
1993, pp. 6-7).

[[Page 68920]]

Because the number of eggs produced per female increases as female size 
increases (Swift et al. 1989, p. 9), it is likely that females in the 
backwater marshes can produce a proportionally greater number of young 
fry that allow a population to persist.
    Tidewater gobies have been documented in habitats with water 
temperatures that range from 46 to 77 degrees F (8 to 25 degrees C) 
(Irwin and Soltz 1984, Tables 3 and 4; Swift et al. 1989, p. 1).
Freshwater Habitat
    Tidewater gobies also occur in freshwater streams upgradient and 
tributary to brackish habitats; the salinity of these freshwater 
streams is typically less than 0.5 ppt. The available documentation 
demonstrates that in some areas, tidewater gobies can occur 1.6 to 7.3 
mi (2.6 to 11.7 km) upstream from the ocean environment (Irwin and 
Soltz 1984, p. 27; Swift et al. 1997, p. 20; Chamberlain and Goldsmith 
2006, p. 1).
    Hundreds of tidewater gobies have been observed to move upstream of 
a fixed location into areas in the Santa Ynez River 3.2 mi (5.1 km) 
from the ocean in Santa Barbara County (Swift et al. 1997, p. 20). The 
fact that this many individuals were observed to move through an area 
within a 2-hour period suggests that freshwater tributaries in some 
riverine systems provide important space for individual and population 
growth.
    We have reviewed a variety of documents to determine how far 
tidewater gobies have been detected upstream from the ocean. 
Chamberlain and Goldsmith (2006, p. 1) found tidewater gobies 1.6-2.0 
mi (2.6-3.3 km) upstream from the ocean in the Ten Mile River in 
Mendocino County; Swift et al. (1997, p. 18) found tidewater gobies 4.6 
mi (7.3 km) upstream from the ocean in the San Antonio River in Santa 
Barbara County; Swift et al. (1997, p. 20) found tidewater gobies at 
various distances from 3.9 to 7.3 mi (6.2 to 11.7 km) upstream from the 
ocean in the Santa Ynez River in Santa Barbara County; and Holland 
(1992, p. 9) found tidewater gobies 3 mi (5 km) upstream from the ocean 
in the Santa Margarita River in San Diego County. Collectively, these 
data suggest the average distance tidewater gobies have been detected 
upstream from the ocean in medium to large rivers is approximately 3.8 
mi (6.1 km). Although the reasons for the variation in up-stream 
movement between one locality and another have not been determined, 
salinity is likely an important factor. Upstream salinity levels may 
vary with time of year, tidal cycles, storm events, and topography.
Sandbars
    Many of the locations occupied by the tidewater goby closely 
correspond to stream drainages. Under natural conditions, these stream 
drainages and the marine environment collectively act to produce 
sandbars that form a barrier between the ocean and the lagoon, estuary, 
backwater marsh, and freshwater stream system (Habel and Armstrong 
1977, p. 39). These sandbars tend to be present during the late spring, 
summer, and fall seasons. The presence of a sandbar can create a lower 
salinity level (i.e., 5 to 10 ppt) in the area upgradient from the 
sandbar (Carpelan 1967, p. 324) than would otherwise exist if there 
were no sandbar. Tidewater gobies are more commonly associated with 
these lower salinity levels than with the salinity levels that occur in 
the ocean or an estuary without a sandbar, i.e., about 35 ppt. The 
formation of a sandbar also creates a larger area for aquatic organisms 
because water becomes ponded behind the sandbar. Artificial breaching 
of a sandbar tends to result in a rapid decrease in water levels and 
increases the likelihood that adult tidewater gobies, their nests, and 
their fry could become stranded and die, or become concentrated and 
subject to greater levels of predation pressure by birds or other 
predators.
    In Humboldt Bay and the Eel River estuary in Humboldt County, a 
large amount of salt and brackish marsh habitat was eliminated through 
the construction of levees and drainage channels. As a result, several 
of the localities occupied by the tidewater goby do not contain natural 
sandbars between the ocean and habitat where the species is present. 
Instead, manmade water control structures, such as tidegates and 
culverts, exist between tidal waters and the locations where tidewater 
gobies occur. These tidegates have been in place for decades, and in 
some cases, they provide habitat conditions similar to those created by 
the presence of a seasonal sandbar. In fact, most of the occupied 
tidewater goby habitats in the Humboldt Bay-Eel River estuaries are 
above tidegates.

Food

    Tidewater gobies feed mainly on macro-invertebrates such as mysid 
shrimp, gamarid amphipods, ostracods, and aquatic insects such as 
chironomid midge larvae (Irwin and Soltz 1984, p. 21-23; Swift et al. 
1989, p. 6; Swenson 1995, p. 87). The diets of adult and juvenile 
tidewater gobies tend to include the same relative abundance of 
different invertebrate species (Swenson and McCray 1996, p. 962).

Cover or Shelter

    A variety of native and nonnative fish species and fish-eating bird 
species such as egrets (Egretta spp.) and herons (e.g., great blue 
herons (Ardea herodias)) prey on tidewater gobies, and escape cover or 
shelter is necessary to reduce the likelihood that tidewater gobies 
will be preyed upon.
    A species' ability to persist when it is subject to predation 
pressure frequently depends on the presence of features that provide 
cover from predators, or the presence of a heterogeneous habitat that 
provides a greater level of structure which makes it more likely a prey 
species will avoid predation (Crowder and Cooper 1982, p. 1802; 
Gilinsky 1984, p. 455).
    At locations where tidewater gobies occur, submerged and emergent 
aquatic vegetation has the potential to provide cover from predators, 
and provide a greater degree of habitat heterogeneity or structure that 
would not otherwise exist if the aquatic vegetation was absent. Stable 
lagoons often possess dense aquatic vegetation that frequently consists 
of sago pondweed (Potamogeton pectinatus) or widgeon grass (e.g., 
Ruppia maritima and R. cirrhosa). At some locations, juvenile tidewater 
gobies are more prevalent in areas with at least some submergent 
vegetation as compared to other areas with no or little vegetation 
(Wang 1984, p. 16; Swenson 1994, p. 6; Trihey & Associates, Inc. 1996, 
p. 11). We believe it is reasonable to assume that the presence of 
submerged or emergent vegetation reduces the likelihood that tidewater 
gobies will be preyed upon by native and nonnative species because this 
vegetation provides cover and increases the level of habitat 
heterogeneity in a way that makes it more likely that tidewater gobies 
will persist where they co-occur with predators.
    Aquatic vegetation may provide some degree of shelter or refuge 
during flash flood events (Lafferty et al. 1999b, p. 621). These 
refuges presumably would result because the presence of vegetation 
would create lower water velocities than might otherwise occur in 
unvegetated areas. Such refuges would be especially important to fish 
species that are not strong swimmers, such as the tidewater goby.

Sites for Breeding, Reproduction, and Rearing (or Development) of 
Offspring

    The eggs of the tidewater goby are laid in burrows that are 
excavated by male

[[Page 68921]]

fish. The available literature suggests that burrows most commonly 
occur in areas with relatively unconsolidated, clean, coarse sand 
(Swift et al. 1989, p. 8), while other documents demonstrate that 
burrows also occur in silt or mud (Wang 1982, p. 6). Swenson (1995, p. 
148) demonstrated that tidewater gobies prefer a sandy substrate in the 
laboratory. Male tidewater gobies remain in the burrow to guard the 
eggs attached to the burrow ceiling and walls. Male tidewater gobies 
care for the embryos for approximately 9 to 11 days until they hatch, 
rarely if ever emerging from the burrow to feed (Swift et al. 1989, p. 
4).
    Tidewater goby larvae occupy the water column after the eggs hatch 
(Wang 1982, p. 15). As they mature, they occupy the bottom substrate. 
Worcester (1992, pp. 77-79) found that larval tidewater gobies in Pico 
Creek Lagoon in San Luis Obispo County tended to use the deeper portion 
of the lagoon, i.e., 29 in. (73 cm) deep water vs. 17 in. (42 cm) deep 
water.

Primary Constituent Elements for the Tidewater Goby

    Pursuant to our regulations, we are required to identify the known 
physical and biological features (PCEs) essential to the conservation 
of the tidewater goby. All of the areas proposed as revised critical 
habitat for the tidewater goby are within the species' historical 
geographic range and contain sufficient PCEs to support at least one 
life history function.
    Based on our current knowledge of the life history, biology, and 
ecology of the tidewater goby and the requirements of the habitat to 
sustain the essential life history functions of this species, we have 
determined that the PCEs for the tidewater goby are:
    (1) Persistent, shallow (in the range of about 0.1-2 m), still-to-
slow-moving, aquatic habitat most commonly ranging in salinity from 
less than 0.5 ppt to about 10-12 ppt, which provides adequate space for 
normal behavior and individual and population growth;
    (2) Substrates (e.g., sand, silt, mud) suitable for the 
construction of burrows for reproduction;
    (3) Submerged and emergent aquatic vegetation, such as Potamogeton 
pectinatus and Ruppia maritima, that provides protection from 
predators; and
    (4) Presence of a sandbar(s) across the mouth of a lagoon or 
estuary during the late spring, summer, and fall that closes or 
partially closes the lagoon or estuary, thereby providing relatively 
stable water levels and salinity.
    Although the previous rule included a PCE on the prey species the 
tidewater goby may use as food, tidewater gobies are generalists and 
prey on a wide diversity of invertebrate species that are readily 
available wherever gobies occur. Therefore, we have not included prey 
as a PCE in this revised rule.
    This proposed revised designation is designed for the conservation 
of areas supporting PCEs that exist at coastal lagoons, estuaries, 
backwater marshes, and associated freshwater tributaries, and that are 
necessary to support the life history functions which were the basis 
for the proposal. Because not all life history functions require all 
the PCEs, not all proposed revised critical habitat will contain all 
the PCEs. The presence of PCE 4 at a given location will, in general, 
only be applicable to locations where a sandbar forms due to natural 
processes.
    Units are proposed for revised designation based on sufficient PCEs 
being present to support the life processes of the species. Some lands 
contain all PCEs and support multiple life processes. Some lands 
contain only a portion of the PCEs necessary to support the particular 
use of that habitat.

Criteria Used To Identify Critical Habitat

    As required by section 4(b)(1)(A) of the Act, we use the best 
scientific data and information available in determining areas that 
contain the features that are essential to the conservation and habitat 
requirements of the tidewater goby. These include research published in 
peer-reviewed articles and presented in academic theses and agency 
reports; information submitted during section 7 consultations and by 
biologists holding section 10(a)(1)(A) recovery permits; information 
that is contained within the recently completed recovery plan for the 
tidewater goby that does not appear elsewhere; and regional Geographic 
Information System (GIS) coverages. We also solicited information from 
knowledgeable biologists that have worked with the tidewater goby.
    The process we use in this proposed rule to identify the features 
that are essential to the conservation of the tidewater goby reflects a 
complete assessment of the current, best scientific data available. 
Based on this assessment, we developed criteria for identifying 
critical habitat units (see below). By applying these criteria to the 
112 localities known to be currently occupied by gobies, we identified 
44 (39 percent) that we are proposing to designate as revised critical 
habitat. In general, we are proposing these 44 units as critical 
habitat because they support the conservation of the species in that 
these units are representative of the distribution of the goby occupied 
at the time of listing; some units are occupied by source populations, 
such that they support other habitats with gobies; and proposed units 
reflect the diversity of the species and its habitats which it 
currently occupies. In this rule, we have also attempted to describe, 
in a more explicit manner, the features that we use to determine the 
lateral and upstream extent of the critical habitat unit boundaries.
    The criteria for identifying critical habitat units include:
    (a) Areas known to be occupied at the time of listing and that 
possess one or more PCEs such that the area supports one or more of the 
tidewater goby's life processes. We determined which areas were 
occupied at the time of listing from information in two papers on goby 
occurrence (Swift et al. 1989, p. 13; Swift et al. 1993, p. 129), both 
of which were used in the preparation of the final listing rule for the 
goby;
    (b) Areas that are currently occupied but were not known to be 
occupied at the time of listing that are determined to be essential to 
the conservation of the species;
    (c) Areas that are representative of the distribution of the 
tidewater goby throughout the entire geographic range known to be 
occupied at the time of listing including those with unique ecological 
characteristics (e.g., large open bays in Humboldt County vs. small, 
routinely closed lagoons in Santa Barbara County) with the goal of 
maintaining the full range of the habitat variability and genetic and 
morphological adaptation in the species; and
    (d) Areas that allow for the continued existence of viable 
metapopulations (as defined in the ``Background'' section) under 
varying environmental conditions (e.g., drought). These areas include 
those that presumably serve as source populations or those that provide 
important connectivity between source populations.
    No areas that are currently unoccupied were found to be essential 
to the conservation of the species.
    For the purposes of this proposed rule, we assume that source 
populations are those where tidewater gobies have been observed or 
collected on a regular basis, and therefore are more likely to provide 
the individuals that disperse and recolonize localities where the 
species periodically disappears. Locations that provide connectivity 
between source populations are those locations that exist between 
source populations that are likely to act as

``stepping stones'' between more isolated populations, and contribute 
to metapopulation persistence. Locations that possess unique ecological 
characteristics are those that represent the full range of 
environmental variability where the tidewater goby has evolved, and 
therefore are likely to promote the adaptation of the species to 
different environmental conditions. For example, some of these habitats 
would include locations that reflect different environmental conditions 
in southern and northern California (e.g. smaller habitats that occur 
in a more arid environment vs. large habitats that occur in areas with 
abundant rainfall). Genetic or morphological variability was used to 
support the inclusion of locations where we assume that this 
variability may play a role in positively affecting the species' 
conservation over time. For additional information on any of the above 
definitions, please refer back to the ``Background'' section in this 
proposed rule.
    The conservation of a broad range of environmental, morphological, 
and genetic diversity that is present at the various locations is an 
important consideration in determining locations that are important for 
the conservation of the species. For example, a population's ability to 
successfully adapt to changing environmental conditions is a function 
of the heterozygosity, population size, and genetic variation of the 
individuals at a given location (Reed and Frankham 2003, p. 233). Local 
adaptations to different environmental conditions and morphological 
differences are likely linked to genetic variations among populations. 
These features may in turn be best protected by: (a) Identifying areas 
that represent the species and genetic diversity, and (b) maximizing 
within these areas the protection of contiguous environmental gradients 
across which selection and migration can interact to maintain 
population viability and (adaptive) genetic diversity (Moritz 2002, p. 
238).
    After determining the occupied localities necessary for the 
conservation of the tidewater goby by applying criteria ``a'' through 
``d'' above, the boundary of each critical habitat unit was mapped. 
Unit boundaries were based on several factors including species 
occurrence data that demonstrated where tidewater gobies have been 
observed, the presence of barriers and stream gradients that limit 
tidewater goby movements, and the presence and extent of the aquatic 
habitat required by tidewater gobies.
    The lateral extent of each critical habitat unit was delineated, in 
part, using existing digital data. To determine the lateral boundaries 
of each proposed critical habitat unit, we most frequently relied on 
National Wetland Inventory (NWI) maps that were prepared by the Service 
in 2006. The NWI maps are based on the Cowardin classification system 
(Cowardin et al. 1979); the Service has adopted this classification 
system as its official standard to describe wetland and deepwater 
habitats. Specifically, the following wetland types based on Cowardin 
(1979) were used to delineate unit boundaries: Lake, Estuarine and 
Marine Deepwater, Estuarine and Marine Wetland, Freshwater Pond, 
Freshwater Emergent Wetland, Freshwater Forested/Shrub Wetland, and 
Riverine. These wetland types have or are likely to have the PCE's at 
various times throughout the year depending on the season and 
environmental factors such as storm or drought events. In some cases, 
we used existing anthropogenic structures, such as concrete or riprap 
channel linings, that occur within wetland habitat types to delineate 
the lateral boundaries of units. To a lesser extent, we also used 
aerial imagery from the National Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP) to 
delineate the lateral boundaries of a proposed critical habitat unit 
where insufficient NWI data was available.
    The precise location where tidewater goby habitat occurs at a 
particular locality may vary on a daily, seasonal, and annual basis, 
i.e., the habitats occupied by tidewater gobies exist in a dynamic 
environment that varies over time. For example, the size and lateral 
extent of a coastal lagoon or estuary varies with daily tide cycles. 
Flood events may also change the precise location where surface water 
exists within a given lagoon, estuary, backwater marsh, or freshwater 
tributary. Therefore, it is appropriate to delineate each critical 
habitat unit to encompass the entire area occupied by tidewater gobies 
on a daily, seasonal, and annual basis. To accomplish this, we used the 
boundaries delineated on the NWI maps to determine the lateral extent 
of each unit.
    The delineation of the upstream-most extent of a particular 
critical habitat unit was determined using one of four features that 
include: (a) The average distance that tidewater gobies are known to 
move upstream from the ocean (3.8 mi (6.1 km)), (b) the presence of 
barriers (e.g., culverts) that may prevent tidewater gobies from moving 
upstream, (c) the presence of a gradient that precludes tidewater 
gobies from swimming upstream (vertical drops of more than 4 to 8 in 
(10 to 20 cm) high can act as barriers that make it less likely 
tidewater gobies will be able to swim upstream (Swift et al. 1997, p. 
20)), or (d) limited surface water in the tributary upgradient from the 
lagoon or estuary. Each of the above features describes a barrier to 
upstream movement; therefore the upstream extent of a particular unit 
was determined by whichever barrier was identified first through the 
mapping process regardless of whether or not PCE's were still present 
above it.
    When determining proposed revised critical habitat boundaries, we 
made every effort to avoid including within the boundaries of the map 
contained within this proposed rule developed areas such as buildings, 
paved areas, and other structures that lack PCEs for the tidewater 
goby. The scale of the maps prepared under the parameters for 
publication within the Code of Federal Regulations may not reflect the 
exclusion of such developed areas. Any such structures and the land 
under them inadvertently left inside critical habitat boundaries shown 
on the maps of this proposed rule have been excluded by text in the 
proposed rule and are not proposed for designation as revised critical 
habitat. Therefore, Federal actions limited to these areas would not 
trigger section 7 consultation, unless they may affect the species or 
primary constituent elements in adjacent critical habitat.
    We are proposing to designate critical habitat in areas that we 
have determined were occupied at the time of listing or are currently 
occupied, and that contain sufficient PCEs to support life history 
functions essential for the conservation of the species. Lands are 
proposed for designation based on sufficient PCEs being present to 
support the life processes of the species. Lands are proposed for 
designation based on sufficient PCEs being present to support life 
processes of the species. Some lands contain all PCEs and support 
multiple life processes. Some lands contain only a portion of the PCEs 
necessary to support the particular use of that habitat.
    Section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Act authorizes us to issue permits for 
the take of listed species incidental to otherwise lawful activities. 
An incidental take permit application must be supported by a habitat 
conservation plan (HCP) that identifies conservation measures that the 
permittee agrees to implement for the species to minimize and mitigate 
the impacts of the requested incidental take. We often exclude non-
Federal public lands and private lands that are covered by an existing 
operative HCP and executed

[[Page 68923]]

implementation agreement (IA) under section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Act from 
designated critical habitat because the benefits of exclusion outweigh 
the benefits of inclusion as discussed in section 4(b)(2) of the Act. 
There are no existing operative HCPs or draft HCPs that meet our 
issuance criteria and have been released for public notice and comment 
within the areas proposed for designation as critical habitat.

Special Management Considerations or Protection

    When designating critical habitat, we assess whether the areas 
determined to be occupied at the time of listing support PCEs that may 
require special management considerations or protection. Special 
management considerations or protection may be necessary to eliminate 
or reduce the magnitude of threats that affect the tidewater goby. 
Threats that were identified in the final rule listing the tidewater 
goby include: (1) Coastal development projects that result in the loss 
or alteration of coastal wetland habitat; (2) water diversions and 
alterations of water flows upstream of coastal lagoons and estuaries 
that negatively impact the species' breeding and foraging activities; 
(3) groundwater overdrafting; (4) channelization of habitats where the 
species occurs; (5) discharge of agricultural and sewage effluents; (6) 
cattle grazing and feral pig activity that results in increased 
sedimentation of coastal lagoons and riparian habitats, removes 
vegetative cover, increases ambient water temperatures, and eliminates 
plunge pools and collapsed undercut banks utilized by tidewater gobies; 
(7) introduced species that prey on the tidewater goby (e.g., bass, 
crayfish (Cambaris spp.)); (8) the inadequacy of existing regulatory 
mechanisms; (9) drought conditions that result in the deterioration of 
coastal and riparian habitats; and (10) competition with introduced 
species such as the yellowfin goby and chameleon goby.
    For the purposes of this rule we have combined the ``water 
diversions and alterations of water flows upstream of coastal lagoons 
and estuaries that negatively impact the species' breeding and foraging 
activities'' threats category with ``drought conditions'' and 
``groundwater overdrafting'' into one threat category called ``water 
diversions, alterations of water flows, and groundwater overdrafting 
upstream of coastal lagoons and estuaries that negatively impact the 
species' breeding and foraging activities.'' Similarly, we have 
combined the two threat categories of ``introduced species that prey on 
the tidewater goby (e.g., bass, crayfish, (Cambaris spp.))'' and 
``competition with introduced species such as the yellowfin goby and 
chameleon goby'' into one threat category called ``Introduced species 
that prey on, or compete with, the tidewater goby (e.g., yellowfin 
gobies, bass, and crayfish).'' Where special management may be 
necessary, regulatory mechanisms may need to be added or amended by 
local, State or Federal governmental entities if sufficient management 
is not achievable through voluntary mechanisms.
    We find that the PCEs present within all the areas we are proposing 
for designation may require special management considerations or 
protection due to threats to the tidewater goby or its habitat. Using 
current information provided in the tidewater goby recovery plan 
(Service 2005, Appendix E) and other information in our files, we have 
identified the known threats that may require special management 
considerations or protection for the PCEs within each of the proposed 
critical habitat units (see Proposed Revised Critical Habitat 
Designation below).

Summary of Changes From Previously Designated Critical Habitat

    The areas identified in this proposed rule constitute a proposed 
revision from the areas we designated as critical habitat for the 
tidewater goby in 2000 (65 FR 69693). The main reasons for the 
differences include:
    (1) Prior to designating critical habitat for the tidewater goby in 
2000, we published a proposed rule to: (1) Delist populations of the 
tidewater goby in areas north of Orange and San Diego Counties, and (2) 
retain the tidewater goby populations in Orange and San Diego Counties 
as an endangered distinct population segment based on our re-evaluation 
of the species' status throughout its range (64 FR 33816). Therefore, 
when we published the 2000 critical habitat final rule, we believed 
that tidewater goby populations north of Orange County did not warrant 
listing under the Act and that, therefore, there were no areas 
essential to the conservation of the tidewater goby north of Orange 
County. However, we withdrew the proposed rule to delist the goby north 
of Orange County in 2002, based on comments received from the public, 
the scientific community, industry, and other concerned government 
agencies, and based on new information received after the publication 
of the proposed rule; all of this information indicated that the 
reasons for delisting may have been in error. Therefore, we are now 
proposing to revise the designated critical habitat to include habitat 
throughout the range of the goby at the time of listing.
    (2) We are proposing to remove Aliso Creek in Orange County. In 
addition, we are not including in this proposed designation one area 
vacated by the court, Agua Hedionda Lagoon in San Diego County. Both of 
these units were included in the 2000 designation. These two areas have 
not been occupied for many years and were not occupied at the time of 
listing (the last tidewater goby specimen from Aliso Creek was 
collected in 1976 and the last tidewater goby specimen from Agua 
Hedionda Lagoon was collected in 1940 (Swift et al. 1989, p. 19)). As 
noted in (1) above, in the 2000 designation we only addressed critical 
habitat for the tidewater goby in Orange and San Diego Counties. 
However, in this proposed revised designation, we have considered the 
entire range of the species at the time of listing, which not only 
includes Orange and San Diego Counties but also 12 counties to the 
north. All the areas we have proposed in this revised designation are 
occupied, and several are known to have large populations. As noted in 
(4) below, we also considered those areas on Marine Corps Base Camp 
Pendleton (Base) in San Diego County that are occupied by tidewater 
gobies. The occupied localities on the Base are between Aliso Creek to 
the north and Agua Hedionda Lagoon to the south. However, we did not 
include these areas in this revised proposal because they are protected 
through the Base's Integrated Natural Resource Management Plan (INRMP). 
Because we are now proposing to designate critical habitat in many more 
areas than were included in the 2000 designation, all of which are 
occupied, and because those occupied areas on the Base are protected 
under the Base's INRMP, we no longer consider the two unoccupied areas 
above as being essential to the conservation of the species and we do 
not expect to see recolonization of these areas. In addition, we now 
believe that there are sufficient occupied areas in Orange and San 
Diego counties to support the natural pattern of local extinctions and 
recolonizations.
    (3) We are proposing revised PCEs based on new information. The 
2000 critical habitat rule did not explicitly recognize the importance 
of backwater marshes or freshwater tributaries. However, there are 
multiple documents that suggest these habitat types are features 
essential to the conservation of the tidewater goby (e.g., Swenson 
1993, pp. 6-7; Swift et al. 1997, p. 20; Smith 2004). Also, the 2000 
rule suggested

[[Page 68924]]

critical habitat may not occur at locations where exotic fish species 
are present. From a practical standpoint, most aquatic habitats along 
the coast of California possess at least one exotic (i.e., nonnative) 
fish species, and the mere presence of these species does not preclude 
the presence of tidewater gobies (e.g., Wang 1984, pp. 8-9; Swift et 
al. 1997, p. 23) or habitat that contains the features essential for 
the conservation of the listed fish species. The 2000 rule included a 
PCE that specifically highlighted the importance of a diversity of prey 
species the tidewater goby may use as food. Because the tidewater goby 
are known to eat a relatively large diversity of invertebrate species 
(Irwin and Soltz 1984, pp. 21-23; Swift et al. 1989, p. 6; Swenson 
1995, p. 87), we have chosen to not include a PCE in this proposed rule 
that highlights the importance of prey species. We have adopted this 
approach because we believe that, except in extenuating circumstances 
(e.g., a toxic waste spill that only affects aquatic invertebrate 
species), these invertebrates will be present if other PCEs (e.g., 
persistent, shallow aquatic habitat) are present.
    (4) In the 2000 rule, eight units were designated as critical 
habitat on Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton (Base) in San Diego County. 
The Base is the only area south of Los Angeles where goby localities 
occur, and that was occupied the time of listing and is still occupied. 
In 2001, the Marine Corps completed an Integrated Natural Resource 
Management Plan (INRMP) for the Base per the Sikes Act, as amended (16 
U.S.C. 670a). Additionally, in 1995, the Marine Corps and the Service 
completed a large-scale programmatic consultation under section 7 of 
the Act addressing, among other species, the tidewater goby and its 
habitat. In this proposed rule, we have determined that conservation 
efforts identified in the INRMP for the Base provide a benefit to the 
tidewater goby occurring in habitats within or adjacent to the Base. As 
a result, pursuant to section 4(a)(3) of the Act, we have not included 
approximately 838 ac (340 ha) of habitat on the Base in this proposed 
revision to the critical habitat designation

Proposed Revision to the Critical Habitat Designation

    We are proposing 44 units as critical habitat for the tidewater 
goby distributed along a large portion of the coast of California. 
These units, which do not correspond to those units in the 2000 
designation, if finalized, would entirely replace the current critical 
habitat designation for the tidewater goby in 50 CFR 17.95(e). The 44 
areas proposed as revised critical habitat occur in: Del Norte, 
Humboldt, Mendocino, Sonoma, Marin, San Mateo, Santa Cruz, Monterey, 
San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Ventura, and Los Angeles Counties, 
California. Based on information available to us, we are proposing to 
include 10,003 ac (4,050 ha) in our revised critical habitat for the 
goby. If no changes are made between this proposed rule and the final 
rule, this would mean that our final revised designation would increase 
the currently designated critical habitat for tidewater gobies by 
approximately 8,422 ac (3,408 ha). We considered an additional 1,594 ac 
(645 ha) that constituted the 10 critical habitat units in the previous 
designation from 2000, but are now proposing to remove them from 
designated critical habitat because eight of the areas are on the 
Marine Corp Base Camp Pendleton and qualify for exemption from 
designation under section 4(a)(3) of the Act and the other two areas 
have not been occupied since before the time of listing and are no 
longer considered essential to the conservation of the species. The 
area now proposed for designation consists of 11 percent Federal land, 
72 percent State land, 2 percent local land, and 15 percent private 
land. The proposed revised critical habitat areas described below 
constitute our best assessment at this time of areas determined to be 
occupied at the time of listing, containing the PCEs that may require 
special management considerations or protection, and those additional 
areas that were not occupied at the time of listing but are currently 
occupied and were found to be essential to the conservation of the 
tidewater goby.
    Table 1 below identifies the approximate area of locations 
determined to meet the definition of critical habitat for the tidewater 
goby, but which we have found to be exempt from proposed critical 
habitat under section 4(a)(3) of the Act.

\1\ Codes to known threats to tidewater goby PCE's that may require special management are as follows:
1. Coastal development projects that result in the loss or alteration of coastal wetland habitat affecting PCE 1, 2, 3, and 4.
2. Water diversions, alterations of water flows, and groundwater overdrafting upstream of coastal lagoons and estuaries that negatively impact the
  species' breeding and foraging activities and PCE 1, 2, and 3.
3. Channelization of habitats where the species occurs affecting PCE 1, 2, 3, and 4.
4. Non-point and point source pollution or discharge of agricultural and sewage effluents that are likely to impact the species health or breeding and
  foraging activities and PCE 1.
5. Cattle grazing and feral pig activity that results in increased sedimentation of coastal lagoons and riparian habitats, removes vegetative cover,
  increases ambient water temperatures, and eliminates plunge pools and undercut banks utilized by tidewater gobies affecting PCE 1.

    We present brief descriptions for each proposed critical habitat 
unit below and provide one or more reasons why each unit meets the 
definition of critical habitat. The first two or three letters in the 
code for each proposed critical habitat unit description reflects the 
county where the unit occurs: DN = Del Norte, HUM = Humboldt, LA = Los 
Angeles, MAR = Marin, MEN = Mendocino, MON = Monterey, SLO = San Luis 
Obispo, SM = San Mateo, SB = Santa Barbara, SC = Santa Cruz, SON = 
Sonoma, and VEN = Ventura. In Table 2 above, these units are listed in 
sequential order from north to south, with the most northerly unit 
being

[[Page 68926]]

described first and the most southerly unit being described last.
    All of the proposed critical habitat units, which follow below, for 
the tidewater goby contain the following PCEs: Persistent, shallow (in 
the range of about 0.1-2 m), still-to-slow-moving, aquatic habitat most 
commonly ranging in salinity from less than 0.5 ppt to about 10-12 ppt 
(PCE 1); substrates (e.g., sand, silt, mud) suitable for the 
construction of burrows for reproduction (PCE 2); and submerged and 
emergent aquatic vegetation, such as Potamogeton pectinatus and Ruppia 
maritima, that provides protection from predators (PCE 3). In the unit 
descriptions below, we provide an assessment indicating if PCE 4 is 
present within the unit boundary (i.e., the presence of a sandbar(s) 
across the mouth of a lagoon or estuary during the late spring, summer, 
and fall that closes or partially closes the lagoon or estuary, thereby 
providing relatively stable water levels and salinity).
    For the purposes of this document, local ownership refers to land 
that is owned or managed by a city, county, or municipal government 
entity.

DN-1, Lake Earl/Lake Tolowa (2,682 ac (1,085 ha))

    This unit is located about 3 mi (4.8 km) north of the town of 
Crescent City, and is about 10 mi (16 km) south of the California--
Oregon border. On an intermittent basis, DN-1 possesses a sandbar 
across the mouth of the lagoon or estuary during the majority of the 
late spring, summer, and fall that closes or partially closes the 
lagoon or estuary and thereby provides relatively stable conditions 
(PCE 4). This unit includes two contiguous lagoons (Lake Tolowa and 
Lake Earl), referred to collectively as Lake Earl. DN-1 includes State-
owned land within the California Department of Fish and Game's (CDFG) 
Lake Earl Wildlife Area, and a portion of Tolowa Dunes State Park. DN-1 
was occupied at the time of listing and is currently occupied. This 
proposed critical habitat unit is the largest occupied locality in Del 
Norte County. Tidewater gobies have regularly been found throughout the 
lagoon in large numbers during surveys and intensive studies (Tetra 
Tech 2000, pp. 8-9 and Tables G-1 through G-12). The unit is separated 
from the nearest extant population to the north, in Tilla Slough/Smith 
River (not proposed as critical habitat), by 7.3 mi (11.8 km). Because 
DN-1 has been consistently occupied over time, it is considered likely 
a source population for this region. This proposed critical habitat 
unit provides habitat for a tidewater goby population that is 
genetically distinct (Dawson et al. 2001, p. 1172) and is important to 
maintaining the overall genetic diversity of the species. It likely 
provides demographic and genetic support for other intermittent 
localities such as Tillas Slough, and provides a source population for 
reestablishment of the species at historically occupied but currently 
extirpated localities at Redwood Creek estuary and Freshwater Lagoon.
    Furthermore, Lake Earl/Lake Tolowa are representative of extensive 
coastal lagoons and bays north of Cape Mendocino formed over uplifting 
Holocene sediments on broad flat coastal benches. These coastal benches 
include an intricate network of estuaries and other channels that are 
features that are essential to the conservation of the tidewater goby 
because they provide refugia during seasonal floods and breeding 
habitat through the full range of climatic cycles. The water level and 
salinity within the lagoon varies seasonally and annually in response 
to (a) periods of high precipitation or drought within its watershed; 
(b) the timing, duration, and frequency of breaching events; (c) the 
water level in the lagoon at the time of breaching; and (d) ocean tidal 
cycles during and immediately following a breach. As a result of 
natural and human-induced environmental changes, maximum water depth 
within Lake Earl varies during an annual cycle from less than 5 feet 
deep to more than 10 feet deep. The distribution of tidewater gobies 
and PCEs within Lake Earl changes in response to these dynamic, short-
term habitat conditions; over a multi-year cycle, tidewater gobies may 
persist and breed anywhere within the lagoon. PCEs are found throughout 
DN-1 on a short-term but variable time scale in response to the dynamic 
variability of the habitat itself. DN-1 is important to the 
conservation of the species because it is the northernmost area within 
the range of the tidewater goby that we are proposing for critical 
habitat designation, and therefore reflects an important aspect of the 
historical geographical distribution of the species. This unit is also 
important to the conservation of the species because it is considered a 
source population, it will reduce the chance of losing the tidewater 
goby along this important coastal range, conserve genetic diversity 
within the species, and help facilitate colonization of currently 
unoccupied locations. Known threats in this unit that may require 
special management are described in Table 2.

HUM-1, Stone Lagoon (586 ac (237 ha))

    This unit is approximately 11 mi (18 km) north of the city of 
Trinidad. HUM-1 (Stone Lagoon) is a moderately large, natural, coastal 
lagoon with a narrow sand spit separating it from the ocean. The lagoon 
includes fresh water input from two streams on the east and southern 
sides of the unit. Similar to DN-1, HUM-1 is typical of large north 
coast lagoons, characterized by a seasonal sandbar that results in 
relatively stable habitat within a naturally variable range of seasonal 
and annual climate conditions. HUM-1 possesses a sandbar across the 
mouth of the lagoon or estuary during the majority of the late spring, 
summer, and fall that closes or partially closes the lagoon or estuary 
and thereby provides relatively stable conditions (PCE 4). Tidewater 
goby distribution within this overall large lagoon varies in response 
to annual and seasonal climatic conditions. The other three PCEs occur 
throughout the unit, and the species likely alters its distribution 
within the lagoon in response to seasonal and annual habitat 
variability. HUM-1 is entirely State-owned and is part of Humboldt 
Lagoons State Park. Management of the lagoon does not include goals or 
tasks specific to the tidewater goby. HUM-1 was occupied at the time of 
listing, is currently occupied and is likely a source population for 
this region. HUM-1 is the northernmost of the four Humboldt County 
units and is located 40.8 mi (65.6 km) south of Lake Earl/Lake Tolowa 
(DN-1). The unit is separated from the nearest extant population to the 
north, in Freshwater Lagoon (not proposed), by 30.7 mi (49.4 km). HUM-1 
is the closest source population to reestablish the tidewater goby 
within formerly suitable but known extirpated localities at Redwood 
Creek and Freshwater Lagoon. HUM-1 will also reduce the chance of 
losing the tidewater goby along this portion of the coast and help 
facilitate colonization of currently unoccupied locations. Known 
threats in this unit that may require special management considerations 
or protection of the PCEs are described in Table 2.

HUM-2, Big Lagoon (1,505 ac (609 ha))

    This unit is approximately 7 mi (11 km) north of the city of 
Trinidad. Big Lagoon is a large coastal lagoon with a narrow sand spit 
separating it from the ocean, and receives the majority of its fresh 
water input from one stream in the southeast portion of the unit. 
Similar to DN-1, HUM-2 is typical of large north coast lagoons and 
estuaries, characterized by a seasonal sandbar that

[[Page 68927]]

results in relatively stable habitat within a naturally variable range 
of seasonal and annual climate conditions. HUM-2 possesses a sandbar 
across the mouth of the lagoon or estuary during the majority of the 
late spring, summer, and fall that closes or partially closes the 
lagoon or estuary and thereby provides relatively stable conditions 
(PCE 4). Tidewater goby distribution within this overall large lagoon 
varies in response to annual and seasonal climatic conditions. The 
other three PCEs occur throughout the unit, and the species likely 
alters its distribution within the lagoon in response to seasonal and 
annual habitat variability. HUM-2 consists entirely of State lands that 
are part of Humboldt Lagoons State Park. HUM-2 was occupied at the time 
of listing, is currently occupied, and is likely a source population 
for this region. HUM-2 is located 4.6 mi (7.3 km) south of Stone Lagoon 
(HUM-1), which is also the nearest extant population. This critical 
habitat unit provides habitat for a tidewater goby population that is 
genetically distinct (Dawson et al. 2001, p. 1172). This unit will 
reduce the chance of losing the tidewater goby along this portion of 
the coast, help conserve genetic diversity within the species, and help 
facilitate colonization of currently unoccupied locations. Known 
threats in this unit that may require special management considerations 
or protection of the PCEs are described in Table 2.

HUM-3, Humboldt Bay (1,478 ac (598 ha))

    This unit is located within an 8 mi (13 km) radius to the north, 
south, and east of the city of Eureka. This area was known to be 
occupied at the time of listing and is currently occupied. Humboldt Bay 
and its adjacent marshes and estuaries are a complex mixture of natural 
and human-made aquatic features that have experienced many decades of 
human-induced changes. These changes include the construction of 
levees, tidegates, culverts, and other water control structures, and 
extensive dredging of sandbars. Surrounding the bay itself is a 
generally broad bench historically dominated by mudflats, tidal 
marshes, estuarine channels, and brackish marshes. Substantial portions 
of those habitats were converted to agricultural, urban, and industrial 
uses in recent history, resulting in the loss of as much as 10,000 ac 
(4,047 ha) of potentially suitable habitat.
    This critical habitat unit consists of a complex of interconnected 
estuary channels and human-made structures along the eastern edge of 
Humboldt Bay which collectively mimic, on a much reduced scale, 
habitats largely lost through past management practices. Many of these 
channels and marshes are themselves the result of changes to historical 
habitats, and depend on specific yet generally undocumented management 
activities for their continued function. To address the dynamic 
variability of these habitats resulting from seasonal and inter-annual 
precipitation differences, we have included both the actual known 
locations where tidewater gobies have been documented, as well as 
portions of those channels contiguous to but upchannel or downchannel 
from the known localities. We have not included Humboldt Bay proper in 
critical habitat, nor have we included major channels substantially 
subject to daily tidal fluctuations, as we have no evidence suggesting 
tidewater gobies may breed there. Similarly, we have not included 
channels that are not contiguous with known occupied habitat, nor have 
we included intervening marsh or agricultural lands that may 
occasionally be flooded during severe winter storm events.
    Based on several recent surveys, we have found that the precise 
locations of tidewater goby use within the channel complex during any 
particular year may change in response to annual variation in 
precipitation and channel hydrology. PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur throughout 
the unit, although their precise location during any particular time 
period may change in response to seasonal fluctuations in precipitation 
and tidal inundation. Only PCE 4 (a sandbar(s) across the mouth of 
lagoon or estuary) is not likely to occur within this unit because a 
navigable, dredged channel with a permanent open connection to the 
ocean is maintained on a regular basis. We anticipate that the 
persistence of the tidewater goby source population within this unit 
may require protection of localities that are not occupied every year, 
but collectively form a source population through an interconnected 
complex of channels and shallow water habitats. That is, any of the 
several known occupied localities within a channel complex may be used 
by tidewater gobies during various years in response to dynamic habitat 
conditions during seasonal, annual, and longer term climatic cycles 
(e.g., drought).
    Recently, significant restoration efforts directed primarily at 
salmonid recovery have occurred or are anticipated to occur within 
habitats proposed for designation as critical habitat in this revision. 
The outcome of these salmonid restoration efforts to tidewater gobies 
is unknown, and will likely vary with their design features and their 
location. This unit consists of Federal, State, local government, and 
private lands. HUM-3 is located 21.0 mi (33.9 km) south of Big Lagoon 
(HUM-2). The unit is separated from the nearest extant population to 
the south, in the Eel River (HUM-4), by 18.4 mi (29.7 km). This source 
population may provide essential demographic and genetic support to 
HUM-4, especially during periods of extreme floods (e.g., the 1964 
``Christmas Flood''), when the population of tidewater gobies at the 
Eel River estuary may be extirpated. This unit provides habitat for a 
tidewater goby population that is genetically distinct (Dawson et al. 
2001, p. 1172). This unit will reduce the chance of losing the 
tidewater goby along this portion of the coast, help conserve genetic 
diversity within the species, and help facilitate colonization of 
currently unoccupied locations. Known threats in this unit that may 
require special management are described in Table 2.

HUM-4, Eel River (268 ac) (109 ha))

    This unit is located approximately 4 mi (6.5 km) north of the town 
of Ferndale. The Eel River delta includes a large, complex estuary with 
a network of diked and natural slough channels which contain suitable 
tidewater goby habitat. The Eel River delta contains many small, un-
surveyed slough channels and other backwater areas that provide 
suitable habitat for tidewater gobies, but it also contains larger 
channels open to direct tidal influence that do not provide suitable 
habitat and are not included in this unit. This unit consists of 
backwater channels and immediately adjacent marsh contiguous to the 
known occupied habitat. This unit was not known to be occupied at the 
time of listing; however, no tidewater goby surveys are known to have 
occurred in the Eel River estuary prior to the listing. The Service 
discovered a new population of tidewater gobies in the Eel River 
estuary during surveys in 2004 (Goldsmith 2006b, p. 1). This unit 
consists of State lands, local government lands, and private lands. 
Similar to HUM-3, this unit includes portions of the contiguous channel 
upstream from the known locality, expected to function as habitat in 
response to seasonal and inter-annual fluctuations of water level and 
salinity. On an intermittent basis, HUM-4 possesses a sandbar across 
the mouth of the lagoon or estuary during the late spring, summer, and 
fall that closes or partially closes the lagoon or estuary and thereby 
provides relatively stable conditions (PCE 4). The other three PCEs 
occur throughout the unit in a

[[Page 68928]]

dynamic, seasonally variable distribution.
    As described earlier in HUM-3, we anticipate that tidewater gobies 
use various locations throughout this unit as a moving source 
population in response to the naturally changing habitat conditions. 
This unit is subject to infrequent yet severe flooding from the nearby 
Eel River proper. The major flood event of 1964 (``Christmas Flood''), 
and other major floods during the past century, may have severely 
altered habitat in most channels, including those currently occupied. 
Tidewater gobies may have persisted in the refugia provided in upper 
channels and swales, and we have included some of those channels in 
this proposal. Alternatively, the species may have been extirpated at 
the Eel River delta during those severe events, and reestablished 
itself through demographic and genetic support from HUM-3, located 
approximately 18.4 mi (29.7 km) to the north.
    Of particular importance, the Eel River location is at the north 
end of one of the largest natural geographic gaps in the tidewater 
goby's geographic range. The gap extends to the Ten Mile River 
(Mendocino County) to the south, representing a coastline distance in 
excess of 135 mi (217 km). This gap, with its rocky coastline, strong 
currents, and long distance, remains a formidable barrier to the 
dispersal of tidewater gobies. Thus, one of the reasons that this unit 
is important for the conservation of the species is because it is at 
the boundary of a large, natural gap in the geographic range of the 
species. Further, this unit possesses ecological characteristics which 
may be important in maintaining the species' ability to adapt to 
changing environments, including the ability to disperse into higher 
channels and marsh habitat during severe flood events. This unit will 
also reduce the chance of losing the tidewater goby along this portion 
of the coast, and help facilitate colonization of currently unoccupied 
locations. Known threats in this unit that may require special 
management are described in Table 2.

MEN-1, Ten Mile River (218 ac (88 ha))

    This unit is located 9 mi (14.5 km) north of the town of Fort 
Bragg. Ten Mile River includes a moderately large estuary with a long, 
low-gradient profile that contains many beneficial characteristics for 
supporting tidewater gobies, including part-time tidal exchange, 
brackish water, complex cover, suitable substrate types, and areas of 
off-channel refugia. Suitable habitat in this estuary extends to at 
least 3 mi (5 km) from the ocean, where a gradual increase in gradient 
and freshwater conditions dominates. On an intermittent basis, MEN-1 
possesses a sandbar across the mouth of the lagoon or estuary during 
the late spring, summer, and fall that closes or partially closes the 
lagoon or estuary and thereby provides relatively stable conditions 
(PCE 4). Persistent, shallow water extends in the estuary for more than 
3 mi (5 km) upstream from the ocean. Through this long estuary, 
salinity and water depth vary by season, amount of precipitation, and 
tidal cycle. Thus, PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur throughout the unit, although 
their precise location during any particular time period may change in 
response to seasonal and longer term fluctuations in precipitation and 
tidal inundation.
    This unit consists entirely of State lands. Ten Mile River was 
known to be occupied by tidewater gobies at the time of listing and is 
currently occupied. MEN-1 is located 135.0 mi (217.0 km) south of Eel 
River (HUM-4). The unit is separated from the nearest extant population 
to the south, in Virgin Creek (MEN-2), by 5.6 mi (8.9 km). This unit 
provides habitat for a tidewater goby population that is genetically 
distinct (Dawson et al. 2001, p. 1172). This unit is considered a 
source population, and will reduce the chance of losing the tidewater 
goby along this portion of the coast, help conserve genetic diversity 
within the species, and help facilitate colonization of currently 
unoccupied locations. Furthermore, this unit is the largest block of 
habitat along the coast of Mendocino County, and is the last location 
on the southern end of one of the longest stretches of unsuitable 
habitat in the species range (previously described under HUM-4). Thus, 
this unit is important to the long-term exchange of genetic material 
between populations south of Cape Mendocino and populations to the 
north in Humboldt and Del Norte Counties. South of Ten Mile River, only 
three other small, isolated localities occupied by tidewater gobies are 
known to exist across the more than 100 miles of rugged coastline 
between MEN-1 and SON-1 in south-coastal Sonoma County. Known threats 
in this unit that may require special management considerations or 
protection of the PCEs are described in Table 2.

MEN-2, Virgin Creek (11 ac (4 ha))

    This unit is located 3.5 mi (5.6 km) north of the town of Fort 
Bragg and includes the small estuary of Virgin Creek. On an 
intermittent basis, MEN-2 possesses a sandbar across the mouth of the 
estuary during the late spring, summer, and fall that closes or 
partially closes the estuary and thereby provides relatively stable 
conditions (PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur throughout the unit, 
although their precise location during any particular time period may 
change in response to seasonal fluctuations in precipitation and tidal 
inundation. This unit consists entirely of State lands that are part of 
McKerricher State Park, but is influenced by factors, such as upstream 
water quality, not under the jurisdiction of the Park. The tidewater 
goby was known to occupy this locality at the time of listing and the 
unit is currently occupied. MEN-2 is located 5.6 mi (8.9 km) south of 
Ten Mile River (MEN-1). The unit is separated from the nearest extant 
population to the south, in Pudding Creek (MEN-3), by 1.2 mi (2.0 km). 
This unit provides habitat for a tidewater goby population that is 
genetically distinct (Dawson et al. 2001, p. 1172). This unit is 
considered a source population, and it will reduce the chance of losing 
the tidewater goby along this portion of the coast, help conserve 
genetic diversity within the species, and help facilitate colonization 
of currently unoccupied locations. As described above, this unit is one 
of only three small estuaries occupied by gobies between MEN-1 and SON-
1. It forms an important intermediate locality for long-term genetic 
movement over more than 100 mi (161 km) of rugged Mendocino and Sonoma 
County coast. Known threats in this unit that may require special 
management considerations or protection of the PCEs are described in 
Table 2.

MEN-3, Pudding Creek (23 ac (9 ha))

    This unit is located 2.5 mi (4.0 km) north of the town of Fort 
Bragg. Pudding Creek, unit MEN-3, is a moderately small estuary 
controlled at the upstream end by a low-head, municipal water storage 
dam. On an intermittent basis, MEN-3 possesses a sandbar across the 
mouth of the lagoon or estuary during the late spring, summer, and fall 
that closes or partially closes the estuary, and thereby provides 
relatively stable conditions (PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur throughout 
the unit, although their precise location during any particular time 
period may change in response to seasonal fluctuations in precipitation 
and tidal inundation. This unit consists entirely of State lands that 
are part of McKerricher State Park, but is influenced by factors, such 
as upstream water quality, not under the jurisdiction of the Park. 
Tidewater gobies have been known from this location for at least the 
last 30 years, including the time of listing, and it is

[[Page 68929]]

currently occupied. MEN-3 is located 1.2 mi (2.0 km) south of Virgin 
Creek (MEN-2), which is also the nearest extant population. This unit 
allows for connectivity between tidewater goby source populations, and 
thereby supports gene flow and metapopulation dynamics in this region. 
As described above, this unit is one of only three small estuaries 
likely to be occupied by tidewater gobies between MEN-1 and SON-1. It 
forms an important intermediate locality for long-term genetic movement 
over more than 100 mi (161 km) of rugged, unoccupied Mendocino and 
Sonoma County coast. Known threats in this unit that may require 
special management considerations or protection of the PCEs are 
described in Table 2.

MEN-4, Davis Lake and Manchester State Park Ponds (24 ac (10 ha))

    This unit is located 3.3 mi (5.2 km) northeast of Point Arena, and 
includes an area with ponds fed by a small, unnamed, low-elevation, 
coastal stream in Manchester State Park. On an intermittent basis, MEN-
4 possesses a sandbar across the mouth of the lagoon or estuary during 
the late spring, summer, and fall that closes or partially closes the 
lagoon or estuary and thereby provides relatively stable conditions 
(PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur throughout the unit, although their 
precise location during any particular time period may change in 
response to seasonal fluctuations in precipitation and tidal 
inundation. This unit consists entirely of State lands that are part of 
Manchester State Park. Tidewater gobies have been known from this 
location for at least the last 30 years, including the time of listing, 
and it is currently occupied. MEN-4 is located 32.4 mi (52.2 km) south 
of Pudding Creek (MEN-3), which is also the nearest extant population. 
This unit provides habitat for a tidewater goby population that is 
genetically distinct (Dawson et al. 2001, p. 1172). This unit is 
considered a source population, and it will reduce the chance of losing 
the tidewater goby along this portion of the coast, help conserve 
genetic diversity within the species, and help facilitate colonization 
of currently unoccupied locations. As described above, this unit is one 
of only three small estuaries likely to be occupied by gobies between 
MEN-1 and SON-1. It forms an important intermediate locality for long-
term genetic movement over more than 100 miles of rugged, unoccupied 
Mendocino and Sonoma County coast. There are other potential areas of 
suitable habitat in neighboring wetlands. However, tidewater gobies 
have not been documented from these locations, and they are not 
included in this unit. Known threats in this unit that may require 
special management considerations or protection of the PCEs are 
described in Table 2.

SON-1, Salmon Creek (100 ac (41 ha))

    This unit is located about 7 mi (11.3 km) south of the community of 
Jenner at the mouth of the Russian River. On an intermittent basis, 
SON-1 possesses a sandbar across the mouth of the lagoon or estuary 
during the late spring, summer, and fall that closes or partially 
closes the lagoon or estuary and thereby provides relatively stable 
conditions (PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur throughout the unit, 
although their precise location during any particular time period may 
change in response to seasonal fluctuations in precipitation and tidal 
inundation. Within the unit, the beach, estuary downstream of the State 
Route (SR) 1 bridge, and the floodplain north of Salmon Creek and 
upstream (east) of SR 1 are State lands under the jurisdiction of the 
CDPR. The area and wetlands south of the creek and east of SR 1 in the 
unit are privately owned. This unit was occupied by tidewater gobies at 
the time of listing, is currently occupied, and is likely a source 
population for this region. The closest known existing population of 
tidewater gobies to Salmon Creek is located at Estero Americano 5.3 mi 
(8.5 km) to the south. The geological feature known as Bodega Head 
separates Salmon Creek and Estero Americano, and is likely to reduce 
the exchange of tidewater gobies between these two locations. This unit 
provides habitat for a tidewater goby population that is genetically 
distinct. This unit will reduce the chance of losing the tidewater goby 
along this portion of the coast, help conserve genetic diversity within 
the species, and help facilitate colonization of currently unoccupied 
locations. Known threats in this unit that may require special 
management considerations or protection of the PCEs are described in 
Table 2.

MAR-1, Estero Americano (295 ac (120 ha))

    This unit is located south of the Bodega Head, about 3.5 mi (5.7 
km) south of Bodega Bay. Estero Americano is approximately 750 to 1,000 
ac (300 to 400 ha) in size and is a large lagoon relative to other 
known extant and historical tidewater goby locations. On an 
intermittent basis, MAR-1 possesses a sandbar across the mouth of the 
lagoon or estuary during the late spring, summer, and fall that closes 
or partially closes the lagoon or estuary and thereby provides 
relatively stable conditions (PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur throughout 
the unit, although their precise location during any particular time 
period may change in response to seasonal fluctuations in precipitation 
and tidal inundation. The majority of this unit consists of privately-
owned lands. A small portion of the unit also consists of Federal and 
State lands. Although the abundance of tidewater goby in Estero 
Americano seems to vary, it was occupied by tidewater gobies at the 
time of listing and is currently occupied. MAR-1 is likely a source 
population for this region. The unit is one of two known locations of 
tidewater goby in this area, the other being Estero de San Antonio 
(MAR-2) approximately 2.2 mi (3.5 km) to the south. The closest known 
existing locations of tidewater goby to the north is the Salmon Creek 
estuary (SON-1), but this location is upcoast from the Bodega Head, 
which likely limits interactions with tidewater gobies from this unit. 
This unit will reduce the chance of losing the tidewater goby along 
this portion of the coast and help facilitate colonization of currently 
unoccupied locations. Known threats in this unit that may require 
special management considerations or protection of the PCEs are 
described in Table 2.

MAR-2, Estero de San Antonio (178 ac (72 ha))

    This unit is located about 5.6 mi (9 km) south of Bodega Bay. 
Estero de San Antonio provides approximately 500 to 750 ac (200 to 300 
ha) of fish habitat and is a large lagoon relative to other known 
extant and historical tidewater goby locations. On an intermittent 
basis, MAR-2 possesses a sandbar across the mouth of the lagoon or 
estuary during the late spring, summer, and fall that closes or 
partially closes the lagoon or estuary and thereby provides relatively 
stable conditions (PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur throughout the unit, 
although their precise location during any particular time period may 
change in response to seasonal fluctuations in precipitation and tidal 
inundation.
    The majority of this unit consists of private lands, and the rest 
are State lands. Tidewater gobies are abundant within Estero de San 
Antonio, and it was occupied by tidewater gobies at the time of listing 
and is currently occupied. MAR-2 is one of two known locations of 
tidewater gobies to remain within the local area. This critical habitat 
unit includes a source population of tidewater gobies that likely 
provides individuals that are recruited into surrounding 
subpopulations. The closest known

[[Page 68930]]

existing locations of tidewater goby are Estero Americano (i.e., MAR-1) 
approximately 2.2 mi (3.5 km) to the north and Lagunitas (Papermill) 
Creek (i.e., MAR-3) approximately 15.5 mi (25 km) to the south. Given 
the proximity between the MAR-1 and MAR-2 units, it is possible they 
have exchanged individuals in the past and that they continue to 
exchange individuals. Exchange between these populations bolsters the 
continued sustainable existence of the two populations which will, 
together with SON-1 and MAR-3 units, provide for natural and introduced 
colonization of available but unoccupied estuaries within the region 
south of the Russian River and north of Point Reyes.
    This critical habitat unit provides habitat for a tidewater goby 
population that is genetically distinct (Dawson et al 2001, p. 1172). 
This unit will reduce the chance of losing the tidewater goby along 
this portion of the coast, help conserve genetic diversity within the 
species, and help facilitate colonization of currently unoccupied 
locations. Known threats in this unit that may require special 
management considerations or protection of the PCEs are described in 
Table 2.

MAR-3, Lagunitas (Papermill) Creek (849 ac (344 ha))

    This unit is located in Tomales Bay 20.5 mi (33 km) south of Bodega 
Bay. We do not have information that confirms that PCE 4 (a sandbar(s) 
across the mouth of the lagoon or estuary) is present within this unit 
on at least an intermittent basis. PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur throughout 
the unit, although their precise location during any particular time 
period may change in response to seasonal fluctuations in precipitation 
and tidal inundation. The bay-ward portion of the unit consists of 
State lands. A portion of the unit consists of Federal lands under the 
jurisdiction of the National Park Service. The remaining portion of the 
unit is privately owned. Historical records existed documenting the 
presence of tidewater goby at this location, but at the time of listing 
it was not occupied. Recent surveys have, however, confirmed that the 
unit is currently occupied. This unit is essential to the conservation 
of the species because it is the only known location of the tidewater 
goby to remain within the greater Tomales Bay area. Thus, if allowed to 
establish a robust population the unit could act as an important source 
population for future colonization or introductions to other habitats 
within Tomales Bay. The closest known location with an extant tidewater 
goby population is Estero de San Antonio approximately 15.5 mi (25 km) 
to the north. Furthermore, this unit provides habitat for a tidewater 
goby population that is genetically distinct (Dawson et al 2001, p. 
1172).

MAR-4, Rodeo Lagoon (40 ac (16 ha))

    This unit is located at the tip of the Marin Peninsula, 
approximately 3.8 mi (6 km) north of San Francisco. MAR-4 possesses a 
sandbar across the mouth of the lagoon or estuary during the late 
spring, summer, and fall that closes or partially closes the lagoon or 
estuary and thereby provides relatively stable conditions (PCE 4). PCEs 
1, 2, and 3 occur throughout the unit, although their precise location 
during any particular time period may change in response to seasonal 
fluctuations in precipitation and tidal inundation. This unit consists 
of Federal lands under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service's 
Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The tidewater goby is abundant 
within Rodeo Lagoon, and the lagoon was occupied by tidewater gobies at 
the time of listing and is currently occupied. MAR-5 is the only known 
location where the tidewater goby remains within the greater Bay Area. 
This critical habitat unit provides habitat for a tidewater goby 
population that is genetically distinct (Dawson et al. 2001, p. 1172). 
It also provides habitat for a population of tidewater gobies that 
could disperse to other adjoining habitats. The closest known existing 
locations of tidewater goby are Lagunitas Creek in Tomales Bay 23.6 mi 
(38 km) to the north, and San Gregorio Creek 36 mi (58 km) to the 
south. This unit will reduce the chance of losing the tidewater goby 
along this portion of the coast, help conserve genetic diversity within 
the species, and help facilitate colonization of currently unoccupied 
locations. Known threats in this unit that may require special 
management considerations or protection of the PCEs are described in 
Table 2.

SM-1, San Gregorio Creek (39 ac (16 ha))

    This unit is located about 28 mi (45 km) south of the San 
Francisco-San Mateo County line. On an intermittent basis, SM-1 
possesses a sandbar across the mouth of the lagoon or estuary during 
the late spring, summer, and fall that closes or partially closes the 
lagoon or estuary and thereby provides relatively stable conditions 
(PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur throughout the unit, although their 
precise location during any particular time period may change in 
response to seasonal fluctuations in precipitation and tidal 
inundation. This unit consists entirely of State lands that are part of 
San Gregorio State Beach. This unit was occupied at the time of 
listing, and it is currently occupied. SM-1 is the northernmost of the 
only three extant populations in San Mateo County. This unit also 
provides habitat for a tidewater goby population that is genetically 
distinct (Dawson et al. 2001, p. 1172). This unit is noted for high 
densities of tidewater gobies (Swenson 1993, p. 3). The closest extant 
population of tidewater gobies north of San Gregorio Creek is 36 mi (58 
km) at Rodeo Lagoon and the closest historical location to the north is 
Lake Merced approximately 28 mi (45 km) to the north. The lack of 
nearby populations to the north reduces the likelihood that the 
existing SM-1 population would be naturally reestablished if it were 
lost. SM-1's position as the northernmost of the only extant tidewater 
locations remaining in San Mateo County and its proximity to potential 
reintroduction sites, the lack of other nearby locations to the north, 
and the presence of a stable population makes this unit an important 
source population for this region of the California coast. Known 
threats in this unit that may require special management considerations 
or protection of the PCEs are described in Table 2.

SM-2, Pescadero-Butano Creek (218 ac (88 ha))

    This unit is located approximately 32 mi (51 km) south of the San 
Francisco-San Mateo County line. The unit consists of a lagoon, 
marshes, and creek channels. Unit SM-2 is located between two extant 
tidewater goby populations; namely the populations in San Gregorio 
Creek (SM-1) about 3.7 mi (6 km) to the north and in Bean Hollow Creek 
(SM-3) about 2.9 mi (4.7 km) to the south. On an intermittent basis, 
SM-2 possesses a sandbar across the mouth of the lagoon or estuary 
during the late spring, summer, and fall that closes or partially 
closes the lagoon or estuary and thereby provides relatively stable 
conditions (PCE 4). However, since the early 1990s the timing of the 
sandbar formation seems to have changed from spring/summer to late 
summer or fall. PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur throughout the unit, although 
their precise location during any particular time period may change in 
response to seasonal fluctuations in precipitation and tidal 
inundation. This unit consists entirely of State lands that are part of 
Pescadero State Beach and Pescadero Marsh Natural Preserve. This unit 
was occupied by tidewater gobies at the time of listing and is 
currently occupied. This unit is unusual in that

[[Page 68931]]

some tidewater gobies from this location possess a parasite that 
appears to occasionally affect their health; these parasites, or the 
environmental factors that increase the prevalence of the parasites, 
may represent a threat to this population not identified in Table 2. 
This unit allows for connectivity between tidewater goby source 
populations, and thereby supports gene flow and metapopulation dynamics 
in this region. Known threats in this unit that may require special 
management considerations or protection of the PCEs are described in 
Table 2.

SM-3, Bean Hollow Creek (Arroyo de Los Frijoles) (10 ac (4 ha))

    This unit is located approximately 34.8 mi (56 km) south of the San 
Francisco-San Mateo County line. On an intermittent basis, SM-3 
possesses a sandbar across the mouth of the lagoon or estuary during 
the late spring, summer, and fall that closes or partially closes the 
lagoon or estuary and thereby provides relatively stable conditions 
(PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur throughout the unit, although their 
precise location during any particular time period may change in 
response to seasonal fluctuations in precipitation and tidal 
inundation. The area east of State Highway 1 is privately owned and the 
portion of the lagoon west of the highway consists of State lands, 
which are part of Bean Hollow State Beach. This unit was occupied by 
tidewater gobies at the time of listing and it is currently occupied. 
SM-3 is the southernmost of the three San Mateo County units and is 
located 2.9 mi (4.7 km) south of Pescadero Creek. The unit is separated 
from the nearest extant population to the south, in Scott Creek (not 
proposed), by 16.1 mi (26 km). This unit, together with the two units 
to the north, will reduce the chance of losing the tidewater goby along 
this important coastal range, and allows for connectivity between 
tidewater goby source populations, and thereby supports gene flow and 
metapopulation dynamics in this region. Known threats in this unit that 
may require special management considerations or protection of the PCEs 
are described in Table 2.

SC-1, Laguna Creek (26 ac (11 ha))

    This unit is located approximately 7.5 mi (12.0 km) west of the 
city of Santa Cruz. On an intermittent basis, SC-1 possesses a sandbar 
across the mouth of the lagoon or estuary during the late spring, 
summer, and fall that closes or partially closes the lagoon or estuary 
and thereby provides relatively stable conditions (PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, 
and 3 occur throughout the unit, although their precise location during 
any particular time period may change in response to seasonal 
fluctuations in precipitation and tidal inundation. This unit consists 
entirely of State lands. SC-1 was occupied by tidewater gobies at the 
time of listing and is currently occupied. SC-1 is the northernmost of 
the five Santa Cruz County units and is located 21.4 mi (34.5 km) south 
of Bean Hollow Creek (SM-3). The unit is separated from the nearest 
extant population to the south, in Baldwin Creek (SC-2), by 2.0 mi (3.2 
km). SC-1 is likely a source population for this region. This unit also 
provides habitat for a tidewater goby population that is genetically 
distinct (Dawson et al. 2001, p. 1172). This unit, together with 
Baldwin Creek (SC-2) to the south, is considered a source population, 
and will reduce the chance of losing the tidewater goby along this 
portion of the coast; help conserve the genetic diversity of the 
species; and help facilitate colonization of currently unoccupied 
locations. Known threats in this unit that may require special 
management considerations or protections of the PCEs are described in 
Table 2.

SC-2, Baldwin Creek (17 ac (7 ha))

    This unit is located approximately 6 mi (9.7 km) west of the city 
of Santa Cruz. On an intermittent basis, SC-2 possesses a sandbar 
across the mouth of the lagoon or estuary during the late spring, 
summer, and fall that closes or partially closes the lagoon or estuary 
and thereby provides relatively stable conditions (PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, 
and 3 occur throughout the unit, although their precise location during 
any particular time period may change in response to seasonal 
fluctuations in precipitation and tidal inundation. This unit consists 
entirely of State lands that are part of Wilder Ranch State Park. SC-2 
was occupied by tidewater gobies at the time of listing and is 
currently occupied. SC-2 is located 2.0 mi (3.2 km) south of Laguna 
Creek (SC-1). The unit is separated from the nearest extant population 
to the south, Lombardi Creek (not proposed), by 0.7 mi (1.2 km). SC-2 
is likely a source population for this region. This critical habitat 
unit provides habitat for a tidewater goby population that is 
genetically distinct (Dawson et al. 2001, p. 1172). This unit, together 
with Laguna Creek to the north, is considered a source population, and 
will reduce the chance of losing the tidewater goby along this portion 
of the coast; help conserve genetic diversity within the species; and 
help facilitate colonization of currently unoccupied locations. Known 
threats in this unit that may require special management considerations 
or protection of the PCEs are described in Table 2.

SC-3, Corcoran Lagoon (32 ac (12 ha))

    This unit is located approximately 3 mi (4.8 km) east of the city 
of Santa Cruz. On an intermittent basis, SC-3 possesses a sandbar 
across the mouth of the lagoon or estuary during the late spring, 
summer, and fall that closes or partially closes the lagoon or estuary 
and thereby provides relatively stable conditions (PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, 
and 3 occur throughout the unit, although their precise location during 
any particular time period may change in response to seasonal 
fluctuations in precipitation and tidal inundation. A portion of the 
unit consists of State lands that are part of Twin Lakes State Beach. 
The remaining portion is under the jurisdiction of local government, or 
is privately owned. SC-3 was occupied by tidewater gobies at the time 
of listing and is currently occupied. SC-3 is located 8.0 mi (12.9 km) 
south of Baldwin Creek (SC-2) and is in Monterey Bay. The unit is 
separated from the nearest extant population to the south, in Moran 
Lake (not proposed), by 0.7 mi (1.1 km). SC-3 is likely a source 
population for this region. This critical habitat unit provides habitat 
for a tidewater goby population that is genetically distinct (Dawson et 
al. 2001, p. 1172). This will reduce the chance of losing the tidewater 
goby along this portion of the coast; help conserve genetic diversity 
within the species; and help facilitate colonization of currently 
unoccupied locations. Known threats in this unit that may require 
special management considerations or protection of the PCEs are 
described in Table 2.

SC-4, Aptos Creek (3 ac (1 ha))

    This unit occurs within the limits of the town of Aptos. We do not 
have information that confirms that PCE 4 (a sandbar(s) across the 
mouth of the lagoon or estuary) is present within this unit on at least 
an intermittent basis. The other three PCEs are present throughout the 
unit, although their precise location during any particular time period 
may change in response to seasonal fluctuations in precipitation and 
tidal inundation. The unit consists entirely of State lands. SC-4 was 
occupied by tidewater gobies at the time of listing, is currently 
occupied and is likely a source population for this region. SC-4 is 
located 4.1 mi (6.6 km) east of Corcoran Lagoon (SC-3) and is in 
Monterey Bay. The unit is separated from the nearest extant population 
to

[[Page 68932]]

the north, Moran Lake (not proposed), by 42.0 mi (67.5 km). This unit 
will reduce the chance of losing the tidewater goby along this portion 
of the coast and help facilitate colonization of currently unoccupied 
locations. Known threats in this unit that may require special 
management consideration or protection of the PCEs are described in 
Table 2.

SC-5, Pajaro River (176 ac (71 ha))

    This unit is located approximately 5 mi (8 km) southwest of the 
town of Watsonville. On an intermittent basis, SC-5 possesses a sandbar 
across the mouth of the lagoon or estuary during the late spring, 
summer, and fall that closes or partially closes the lagoon or estuary 
and thereby provides relatively stable conditions (PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, 
and 3 occur throughout the unit, although their precise location during 
any particular time period may change in response to seasonal 
fluctuations in precipitation and tidal inundation. This unit consists 
of State, local government, and private lands. SC-5 was occupied prior 
to listing but was possibly unoccupied at the time of listing, and 
therefore we consider it to be unoccupied at the time of listing. 
However, SC-5 is currently occupied. SC-5 is the southernmost of the 
five Santa Cruz County units and is located 9.7 mi (15.6 km) south of 
Aptos Creek (SM-4) within Monterey Bay. The unit is separated from the 
nearest extant population to the south, in Bennett Slough (MN-1), by 
3.0 mi (4.7 km). This unit is essential to the conservation of the 
species because it allows for connectivity between tidewater goby 
source populations, and thereby supports gene flow and metapopulation 
dynamics in this region.

MN-1, Bennett Slough (155 ac (63 ha))

    This unit is located approximately 3.7 mi (6 km) northwest of the 
town of Castroville. We do not have information that confirms that PCE 
4 (a sandbar(s) across the mouth of the lagoon or estuary) is present 
within this unit on at least an intermittent basis; however, the other 
three PCEs are present throughout the unit, although their precise 
location during any particular time period may change in response to 
seasonal fluctuations in precipitation and tidal inundation. A portion 
of this unit is on State-owned land under the jurisdiction of either 
CDFG (Moss Landing Wildlife Area) or CDPR (Moss Landing State Beach). 
The rest of the unit is on privately owned land, or land owned by local 
government. MN-1 was occupied by tidewater gobies at the time of 
listing and is currently the only occupied locality in Monterey County. 
MN-1 is likely a source population for this region. MN-1 is located 4.1 
mi (6.6 km) south of the Pajaro River (SC-5) and is in Monterey Bay. 
The Pajaro River (SC-5) is the nearest extant population to this unit. 
This critical habitat unit provides habitat for a tidewater goby 
population that is genetically distinct (Dawson et al. 2001, p. 1172). 
This unit will reduce the chance of losing the tidewater goby along 
this portion of the coast, help conserve genetic diversity within the 
species, and help facilitate colonization of currently unoccupied 
locations. Known threats in this unit that may require special 
management considerations or protection of the PCEs are described in 
Table 2.

SLO-1, Arroyo del Corral (5 ac (2 ha))

    This unit is located approximately 6 mi (9.7 km) northwest of San 
Simeon. On an intermittent basis, SLO-1 possesses a sandbar across the 
mouth of the lagoon or estuary during the late spring, summer, and fall 
that closes or partially closes the lagoon or estuary and thereby 
provides relatively stable conditions (PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur 
throughout the unit, although their precise location during any 
particular time period may change in response to seasonal fluctuations 
in precipitation and tidal inundation. This unit consists entirely of 
State lands. SLO-1 was occupied at the time of listing and is currently 
occupied. SLO-1 is likely a source population for this region. SLO-1 is 
the northernmost of the seven San Luis Obispo County units and is 
located 83.2 mi (133.9 km) south of Bennett Slough (MN-1). The unit is 
separated from the nearest extant population to the south, Oak Knoll 
Creek (SLO-2), by 4.3 mi (6.9 km). This critical habitat unit provides 
habitat for a tidewater goby population that is genetically distinct 
(Dawson et al. 2001, p. 1172). This unit will reduce the chance of 
losing the tidewater goby along this portion of the coast; help 
conserve genetic diversity within the species; and help facilitate 
colonization of currently unoccupied locations. Known threats in this 
unit that may require special management considerations or protection 
of the PCEs are described in Table 2.

SLO-2, Oak Knoll Creek (Arroyo Laguna) (3 ac (1 ha))

    This unit is located approximately 2 mi (3.2 km) northwest of San 
Simeon. On an intermittent basis, SLO-2 possesses a sandbar across the 
mouth of the lagoon or estuary during the late spring, summer, and fall 
that closes or partially closes the lagoon or estuary and thereby 
provides relatively stable conditions (PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur 
throughout the unit, although their precise location during any 
particular time period may change in response to seasonal fluctuations 
in precipitation and tidal inundation. This unit consists entirely of 
State lands. SLO-2 was occupied at the time of listing and is currently 
occupied. SLO-2 is located 4.3 mi (6.9 km) south of Arroyo del Corral 
(SLO-1). The unit is separated from the nearest extant population to 
the south, in Arroyo de Tortuga (not proposed), by 4.9 mi (7.9 km).

particular time period may change in response to seasonal fluctuations 
in precipitation and tidal inundation. This unit consists entirely of 
State lands that are part of San Simeon State Park. SLO-4 was occupied 
at the time of listing and is currently occupied. SLO-4 is located 3.8 
mi (6.1 km) south of Little Pico Creek (SLO-3). The unit is separated 
from the nearest extant population to the south, in Santa Rosa Creek 
(not proposed), by 2.6 mi (4.2 km). SLO-4 was occupied at the time of

percent of this locality is located on State-owned land that is part of 
Pismo State Beach; the remainder is privately owned or owned by the 
town of Pismo Beach. SLO-7 was occupied at the time of listing, is 
currently occupied, and is likely a source population for this region. 
SLO-7 is the southernmost of the nine San Luis Obispo County units and 
is located 27.3 mi (44.0 km) south of San Geronimo Creek (SLO-6). The 
unit is separated from the nearest extant population to the south, in 
Arroyo Grande Creek (not proposed), by 2.6 mi (4.2 km). SLO-7 has been 
consistently occupied over time and This unit will reduce the chance of 
losing the tidewater goby along this portion of the coast and help 
facilitate colonization of currently unoccupied locations. Known

of land that is owned by local government and privately owned land. SB-
1 was occupied at the time of listing, is currently occupied, and is 
likely a source population for this region. SB-1 is the northernmost of 
the nine Santa Barbara County units and is located 11.8 mi (18.9 km) 
south of Pismo Creek (SLO-9). The unit is separated from the nearest 
extant population to the south, in Shuman Canyon (not proposed), by 8.6 
mi (13.9 km). This critical habitat unit provides habitat for a 
tidewater goby population that is genetically distinct (Dawson et al. 
2001, p. 1172). This unit will reduce the chance of losing the 
tidewater goby along this portion of the coast; help conserve genetic 
diversity within the species; and help facilitate colonization of

Gaviota. On an intermittent basis, SB-2 possesses a sandbar across the 
mouth of the lagoon or estuary during the late spring, summer, and fall 
that closes or partially closes the lagoon or estuary and thereby 
provides relatively stable conditions (PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur 
throughout the unit, although their precise location during any 
particular time period may change in response to seasonal fluctuations 
in precipitation and tidal inundation. This unit consists of privately 
owned lands. SB-2 was occupied at the time of listing and is currently 
occupied. SB-2 is located 38.8 mi (62.5 km) south of the Santa Maria 
River (SB-1). The unit is separated from the nearest extant population 
to the south, in Arroyo El Bulito (not proposed), by 0.4 mi (0.7 km). 
This unit allows for connectivity between tidewater goby source 
populations, and thereby supports gene flow and

[[Page 68934]]

metapopulation dynamics in this region. Furthermore, we believe this 
unit, and units SB-3, SB-4, SB-5, and SB-6, likely act as a 
metapopulation as defined in the ``Background'' section. These units 
are no more than 2.0 mi (3.3 km) from each other, which facilitates 
higher dispersal rates between sites. Because these units are of 
relatively small size in area (1 to 9ac (1 to 4 ha)), they are more 
susceptible to drying up or shrinking due to drought conditions and 
thereby increasing the likelihood of local extirpation. Lastly, because 
these units are small, they are likely to be dependent upon some degree 
of periodic exchange of tidewater gobies between units for any one unit 
to persist over time; therefore, designation of critical habitat at 
these five locations is necessary for the conservation of the tidewater 
goby along the Gaviota Coast in Santa Barbara County. Known threats in 
this unit that may require special management considerations or 
protection of the PCEs are described in Table 2.

the unit, although their precise location during any particular time 
period may change in response to seasonal fluctuations in precipitation 
and tidal inundation. This unit consists of privately owned lands. SB-3 
was occupied at the time of listing and is currently occupied. SB-3 is 
located 2.0 mi (3.2 km) south of Ca[ntilde]ada de las Agujas (SB-2). 
The unit is separated from the nearest extant population to the north, 
in Ca[ntilde]ada del Agua (not proposed), by 0.4 mi (0.7 km). This unit 
is important to the conservation of the species because it allows for 
connectivity between tidewater goby source populations, and thereby 
supports gene flow and metapopulation dynamics in this region. 
Furthermore, as described above in SB-2, we believe this unit, and 
units SB-2, SB-4, SB-5, and SB-6, likely act as a metapopulation as 
defined in the ``Background'' section, and that designation of critical 
habitat at these five locations is necessary for the conservation of 
the tidewater goby along the Gaviota Coast in Santa Barbara County.

supports gene flow and metapopulation dynamics in this region. 
Furthermore, as described above in SB-2, we believe this unit, and 
units SB-2, SB-3, SB-5, and SB-6, likely act as a metapopulation as

Canyon (SB-7). The unit is separated from the nearest extant population 
to the south, in Laguna Channel/Mission Creek (SB-9), by 2.8 mi (4.5 
km). This unit is essential to the conservation of the tidewater goby 
because it allows for connectivity between tidewater goby source 
populations, and thereby supports gene flow and metapopulation dynamics 
in this region.

occupied, and is likely a source population for this region. VEN-2 is 
located 4.3 mi (7.0 km) south of the Ventura River unit (SB-9), which 
is also the nearest extant population. This critical habitat unit 
provides habitat for a tidewater goby population that is genetically 
distinct (Dawson et al. 2001, p. 1172). This unit will reduce the 
chance of losing the tidewater goby along this portion of the coast, 
help conserve genetic diversity within the species, and help facilitate 
colonization of currently unoccupied locations. This critical habitat 
unit is known to have tens of thousands of tidewater gobies during 
certain times of the year (Swift 2006), and is considered one of the 
largest tidewater goby populations in southern California. Known 
threats in this unit that may require special management considerations 
or protection of the PCEs are described in Table 2.

VEN-3, J Street Drain-Ormond Lagoon (45 ac (18 ha))

    This unit is located approximately 1 mi (1.6 km) east of Port 
Hueneme. On an intermittent basis, VEN-3 possesses a sandbar across the 
mouth of the lagoon or estuary during the late spring, summer, and fall 
that closes or partially closes the lagoon or estuary and thereby 
provides relatively stable conditions (PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur 
throughout the unit, although their precise location during any 
particular time period may change in response to seasonal fluctuations 
in precipitation and tidal inundation. This unit consists of State and 
local government lands. VEN-3 was occupied at the time of listing and 
is currently occupied. VEN-3 is the southernmost of the three Ventura 
County units and is located 4.3

[[Page 68936]]

mi (6.9 km) south of the Santa Clara River (VEN-2), which is also the 
nearest extant population. This unit allows for connectivity between 
tidewater goby source populations, and thereby supports gene flow and 
metapopulation dynamics in this region. Known threats in this unit that 
may require special management considerations or protection of the PCEs 
are described in Table 2.

LA-1, Malibu Lagoon (64 ac (27 ha))

    This unit is located 0.6 mi (1 km) east of Malibu Beach. On an 
intermittent basis, LA-1 possesses a sandbar across the mouth of the 
lagoon or estuary during the late spring, summer, and fall that closes 
or partially closes the lagoon or estuary and thereby provides 
relatively stable conditions (PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur throughout 
the unit, although their precise location during any particular time 
period may change in response to seasonal fluctuations in precipitation 
and tidal inundation. This unit consists entirely of State lands that 
are part of Malibu Creek State Park. This unit was occupied at the time 
of listing, is currently occupied, and is likely a source population 
for this region. LA-1 is one of the two remaining extant populations of 
tidewater gobies within Los Angeles County, both of which are proposed 
as critical habitat units in this revision. LA-1 is located 29.6 mi 
(47.7 km) south of J Street Drain-Ormond Lagoon (VEN-3). The unit is 
separated from the nearest extant population to the south, in Topanga 
Canyon (LA-2), by 6.0 mi (9.6 km). This unit will reduce the chance of 
losing the tidewater goby along this portion of the coast and help 
facilitate colonization of currently unoccupied locations. Known 
threats in this unit that may require special management considerations 
or protection of the PCEs are described in Table 2.

LA-2, Topanga Creek (5 ac (2 ha))

    This unit is approximately 5.5 mi (8.9 km) northwest of the city of 
Santa Monica. On an intermittent basis, LA-2 possesses a sandbar across 
the mouth of the lagoon or estuary during the late spring, summer, and 
fall that closes or partially closes the lagoon or estuary and thereby 
provides relatively stable conditions (PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur 
throughout the unit, although their precise location during any 
particular time period may change in response to seasonal fluctuations 
in precipitation and tidal inundation. This unit consists entirely of 
State lands. LA-2 was not known to be occupied at the time of listing, 
however tidewater gobies were first detected at this locality in 2001 
and the unit is currently occupied. Tidewater gobies in Topanga Canyon 
are probably derived from fish that dispersed from Malibu Creek. This 
location is one of the only two remaining localities in Los Angeles 
County that are occupied by tidewater gobies. LA-2 is located 6.0 mi 
(9.6 km) south of the Malibu Creek unit (LA-1), which is also the 
nearest extant population. This unit is essential to the conservation 
of the species because it allows for connectivity between tidewater 
goby source populations, and thereby supports gene flow and 
metapopulation dynamics in this region.

Effects of Critical Habitat Designation

Section 7 Consultation

    Section 7(a) of the Act requires Federal agencies, including the 
Service, to evaluate their actions with respect to any species that is 
proposed or listed as endangered or threatened and with respect to its 
critical habitat, if any is proposed or designated. Regulations 
implementing this interagency cooperation provision of the Act are 
codified at 50 CFR part 402.
    Section 7(a)(4) of the Act requires Federal agencies to confer with 
us on any action that is likely to jeopardize the continued existence 
of a species proposed for listing or result in destruction or adverse 
modification of proposed critical habitat. This is a procedural 
requirement only. However, once a proposed species becomes listed, or 
proposed critical habitat is designated as final, the full prohibitions 
of section 7(a)(2) apply to any Federal action. The primary utility of 
the conference procedures is to maximize the opportunity for a Federal 
agency to adequately consider proposed species and critical habitat and 
avoid potential delays in implementing their proposed action as a 
result of the section 7(a)(2) compliance process, should those species 
be listed or the critical habitat designated.
    Under conference procedures, the Service may provide advisory 
conservation recommendations to assist the agency in eliminating 
conflicts that may be caused by the proposed action. The Service may 
conduct either informal or formal conferences. Informal conferences are 
typically used if the proposed action is not likely to have any adverse 
effects to the proposed species or proposed critical habitat. Formal 
conferences are typically used when the Federal agency or the Service 
believes the proposed action is likely to cause adverse effects to 
proposed species or critical habitat, inclusive of those that may cause 
jeopardy or adverse modification.
    The results of an informal conference are typically transmitted in 
a conference report; while the results of a formal conference are 
typically transmitted in a conference opinion. Conference opinions on 
proposed critical habitat are typically prepared according to 50 CFR 
402.14, as if the proposed critical habitat were designated. We may 
adopt the conference opinion as the biological opinion when the 
critical habitat is designated, if no substantial new information or 
changes in the action alter the content of the opinion (see 50 CFR 
402.10(d)). As noted above, any conservation recommendations in a 
conference report or opinion are strictly advisory.
    Once a species is listed or critical habitat is designated, section 
7(a)(2) of the Act requires Federal agencies to ensure that activities 
they authorize, fund, or carry out are not likely to jeopardize the 
continued existence of such a species or to destroy or adversely modify 
its critical habitat. Recent decisions by the 5th and 9th Circuit 
Courts of Appeals have invalidated our regulatory definition of 
``adverse modification'' at 50 CFR 402.02 (see Gifford Pinchot Task 
Force v. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 378 F.3d 1059 (9th Cir 2004) 
and Sierra Club v. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service et al., 245 F.3d 434, 
442F (5th Cir 2001)). Pursuant to current national policy and the 
statutory provisions of the Act, we determine destruction or adverse 
modification based on whether, with implementation of the proposed 
Federal action, the affected critical habitat would remain functional 
(or retain the current ability for the primary constituent elements to 
be functionally established) to serve its intended conservation role 
for the species.
    If a Federal action may affect a listed species or its critical 
habitat, the responsible Federal agency (action agency) must enter into 
consultation with us. As a result of this consultation, compliance with 
the requirements of section 7(a)(2) will be documented through the 
Service's issuance of: (1) A concurrence letter for Federal actions 
that may affect, but are not likely to adversely affect, listed species 
or critical habitat; or (2) a biological opinion for Federal actions 
that may affect, but are likely to adversely affect, listed species or 
critical habitat.
    When we issue a biological opinion concluding that a project is 
likely to result in jeopardy to a listed species or the destruction or 
adverse modification of critical habitat, we also provide reasonable 
and prudent alternatives to

[[Page 68937]]

the project, if any are identifiable. ``Reasonable and prudent 
alternatives'' are defined at 50 CFR 402.02 as alternative actions 
identified during consultation that can be implemented in a manner 
consistent with the intended purpose of the action, that are consistent 
with the scope of the Federal agency's legal authority and 
jurisdiction, that are economically and technologically feasible, and 
that the Director believes would avoid jeopardy to the listed species 
or destruction or adverse modification of critical habitat. Reasonable 
and prudent alternatives can vary from slight project modifications to 
extensive redesign or relocation of the project. Costs associated with 
implementing a reasonable and prudent alternative are similarly 
variable.
    Regulations at 50 CFR 402.16 require Federal agencies to reinitiate 
consultation on previously reviewed actions in certain instances, 
including where a new species is listed or critical habitat is 
subsequently designated that may be affected by the Federal action, 
where the Federal agency has retained discretionary involvement or 
control over the action or such discretionary involvement or control is 
authorized by law. Consequently, some Federal agencies may request 
reinitiation of consultation with us on actions for which formal 
consultation has been completed, if those actions may affect 
subsequently listed species or designated critical habitat or adversely 
modify or destroy proposed critical habitat.
    Federal activities that may affect the tidewater goby or its 
designated critical habitat will require section 7 consultation under 
the Act. Activities on State, tribal, local or private lands requiring 
a Federal permit (such as a permit from the Corps under section 404 of 
the Clean Water Act or a permit under section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Act 
from the Service) or involving some other Federal action (such as 
funding from the Federal Highway Administration, Federal Aviation 
Administration, or the Federal Emergency Management Agency) will also 
be subject to the section 7 consultation process. Federal actions not 
affecting listed species or critical habitat, and actions on State, 
tribal, local or private lands that are not federally-funded, 
authorized, or permitted, do not require section 7 consultations.

Application of the Jeopardy and Adverse Modification Standards for 
Actions Involving Effects to the Tidewater Goby and its Critical 
Habitat

Jeopardy Standard
    When performing jeopardy analyses for the tidewater goby, the 
Service applies an analytical framework that relies heavily on the 
importance of core area populations to the survival and recovery of the 
tidewater goby. The section 7(a)(2) analysis is focused not only on 
these populations but also on the habitat conditions necessary to 
support them.
    The jeopardy analysis usually expresses the survival and recovery 
needs of the tidewater goby in a qualitative fashion without making 
distinctions between what is necessary for survival and what is 
necessary for recovery. Generally, if a proposed Federal action is 
incompatible with the viability of the affected core area 
population(s), inclusive of associated habitat conditions, a jeopardy 
finding is warranted, because of the relationship of each core area 
population to the survival and recovery of the species as a whole.
Adverse Modification Standard
    The analytical framework described in the Director's December 9, 
2004, memorandum is used to complete section 7(a)(2) analyses for 
Federal actions affecting tidewater goby critical habitat. The key 
factor related to the adverse modification determination is whether, 
with implementation of the proposed Federal action, the affected 
critical habitat would remain functional (or retain the current ability 
for the primary constituent elements to be functionally established) to 
serve its intended conservation role for the species. Generally, the 
conservation role of tidewater goby critical habitat units is to 
support viable core area populations.
    Section 4(b)(8) of the Act requires us to briefly evaluate and 
describe in any proposed or final regulation that designates critical 
habitat those activities involving a Federal action that may destroy or 
adversely modify such habitat, or that may be affected by such 
designation. Activities that may destroy or adversely modify critical 
habitat may also jeopardize the continued existence of the species.
    Activities that may destroy or adversely modify critical habitat 
are those that alter the PCEs to an extent that the conservation value 
of critical habitat for the tidewater goby is appreciably reduced. 
Activities that, when carried out, funded, or authorized by a Federal 
agency, may affect critical habitat and therefore should result in 
consultation for the tidewater goby include, but are not limited to:
    (1) Actions such as channelization and water diversion that reduce 
the amount of space that is available for individual and population 
growth and normal behavior, and reduce or eliminate sites for breeding, 
reproduction, and rearing (or development) of offspring.
    (2) Actions that substantially alter the natural hydrologic regime 
upstream of the designated critical habitat units. These activities 
could include, but are not limited to, ground water pumping or surface 
water diversion activities, construction of impoundments or flood 
control structures, or the release of water in excess of levels that 
historically occurred. Such activities could result in an atypical 
reduction or excess amount of water that is present in the aquatic 
habitats that tidewater gobies occupy, and alter salinity conditions 
that support this species.
    (3) Actions that substantially alter the channel morphology of the 
proposed critical habitat units, or the areas upgradient from these 
units. Such activities may include, but are not limited to, 
channelization projects, road and bridge projects, removal of 
substrates, destruction and alteration of riparian vegetation, 
reduction of available floodplain, and removal of gravel or floodplain 
terrace materials. Such activities could increase water velocities and 
flush large numbers of tidewater gobies into the ocean especially 
during flood events.
    (4) Actions that result in the discharge of agricultural and sewage 
effluents, or chemical or biological pollutants into the aquatic 
habitats where tidewater gobies occur. Such activities have the ability 
to degrade the water quality where tidewater gobies live, introduce 
toxic substances that can poison individual fish, adversely affect fish 
immune systems, and decrease the amount of oxygen in aquatic habitats 
where the species occurs.
    (5) Actions that cause atypical levels of sedimentation in coastal 
wetland habitats or remove vegetative cover that stabilizes stream 
banks. Such activities could include, but are not limited to, grazing 
or mining activities, road construction projects, off-road vehicle use, 
and other watershed and floodplain disturbance activities. Such 
activities have the potential to alter the amount and composition of 
the substrate in the habitats where tidewater gobies occur, and thereby 
affect the species' ability to construct breeding burrows.
    (6) Actions that result in the artificial breaching of lagoon 
habitats. Such

[[Page 68938]]

activities can reduce the amount of space that is available for 
individual and population growth; strand and desiccate tidewater goby 
adults, fry or eggs; and increase the risk they will be preyed upon by 
native or non-native predators as they become concentrated and exposed 
as water levels drop.
    (7) Actions that create barriers that prevent tidewater gobies from 
accessing areas they would normally be able to access. These 
activities, which may include, but are not limited to, water 
diversions, road crossings, and sills, can reduce the amount of space 
that is available for individual and population growth, and reduce the 
number and extent of sites for breeding, reproduction, and rearing (or 
development) of offspring.
    All of the units proposed as revised critical habitat, as well as 
those that have been exempted, to contain features essential to the 
conservation of the tidewater goby. With the exception of the Eel 
River, Lagunitas (Papermill) Creek, Pajaro River, Arroyo Burro, and 
Topanga Creek units, all of the proposed revised critical habitat units 
were occupied by the species at the time of listing. All of the 
proposed units are believed to be currently occupied by the tidewater 
goby. Federal agencies already consult with us on activities in areas 
currently occupied by the tidewater goby, or where the species may be 
affected by an action, to ensure that their actions do not jeopardize 
the continued existence of the tidewater goby.

Application of Section 4(a)(3)

    The Sikes Act Improvement Act of 1997 (Sikes Act) (16 U.S.C. 670a) 
required each military installation that includes land and water 
suitable for the conservation and management of natural resources to 
complete, by November 17, 2001, an Integrated Natural Resource 
Management Plan (INRMP). An INRMP integrates implementation of the 
military mission of the installation with stewardship of the natural 
resources found on the base. Each INRMP includes an assessment of the 
ecological needs on the installation, including the need to provide for 
the conservation of listed species; a statement of goals and 
priorities; a detailed description of management actions to be 
implemented to provide for these ecological needs; and a monitoring and 
adaptive management plan. Among other things, each INRMP must, to the 
extent appropriate and applicable, provide for fish and wildlife 
management, fish and wildlife habitat enhancement or modification, 
wetland protection, enhancement, and restoration where necessary to 
support fish and wildlife and enforcement of applicable natural 
resource laws.
    The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2004 (Pub. 
L. 108-136) amended the Act to limit areas eligible for designation as 
critical habitat. Specifically, section 4(a)(3)(B)(i) of the Act (16 
U.S.C. 1533(a)(3)(B)(i)) now provides: ``The Secretary shall not 
designate as critical habitat any lands or other geographical areas 
owned or controlled by the Department of Defense, or designated for its 
use, that are subject to an integrated natural resources management 
plan prepared under section 101 of the Sikes Act (16 U.S.C. 670a), if 
the Secretary determines in writing that such plan provides a benefit 
to the species for which critical habitat is proposed for 
designation.''
    We consult with the military on the development and implementation 
of INRMPs for installations with listed species. INRMPs developed by 
military installations located within the range of the proposed 
critical habitat designation for the tidewater goby were analyzed for 
exemption under the authority of 4(a)(3) of the Act.
Application of Section 4(a)(3)--Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton
    At the time we designated critical habitat in 2000, the military 
had not completed an INRMP for the Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton 
(``Base'') in northwestern San Diego County, and section 4(a)(3)(B)(i) 
of the Act did not exist. Therefore, the areas where the tidewater goby 
occurred on the Base were included in the critical habitat designation. 
However, subsequently the Base has completed an INRMP and, based on the 
above considerations and in accordance with section 4(a)(3)(B)(i) of 
the Act, we have determined that conservation efforts identified in the 
INRMP for the Base provide benefits to the tidewater goby occurring in 
habitats within or adjacent to the Base. This includes approximately 
838 ac (340 ha) of habitat on the Base that are subject to the INRMP. 
This habitat is located in the following areas: San Mateo Creek, San 
Onofre Creek, Las Flores/Pulgas Creek, Hidden Lagoon, Aliso Canyon, 
French Lagoon, Cockleburr Canyon, and the Santa Margarita River. 
Therefore, we are proposing to remove the currently designated habitat 
for tidewater goby on this installation as this critical habitat must 
be exempted pursuant to section 4(a)(3) of the Act for the reasons 
described below.
    In 2001, the Marine Corps completed an INRMP per the Sikes Act, as 
amended. All of the currently occupied tidewater goby locations in San 
Diego County are on the Base. Additionally, in 1995, the Marine Corps 
and the Service completed a large-scale programmatic consultation under 
section 7 of the Act addressing, among other species, the tidewater 
goby and its habitat. All of the conservation measures, including the 
Base's Estuarine/Beach Ecosystem Conservation Plan and the terms and 
conditions from that consultation, have been incorporated into the 
INRMP. The objective of the Estuarine/Beach Ecosystem Conservation Plan 
is to ``manage and protect the natural resources along the Base's 
coastline emphasizing coastal lagoons and the Santa Margarita River 
Estuary'', which includes tidewater goby habitat. Specific measures in 
the INRMP that benefit the tidewater goby include: (1) General 
avoidance of estuarine wetlands by all military activities, (2) 
maintenance of currently and historically occupied tidewater goby 
habitat, (3) compensation for unavoidable impacts, (4) regular 
monitoring of tidewater goby populations, and (5) controlling and 
removing exotic plants and fish. Additionally, the Base is exploring 
the potential for habitat enhancement to benefit the tidewater goby, 
including deepening smaller lagoons. Further, the Base's environmental 
security staff reviews Base projects and enforces existing regulations 
and Base orders that, through their implementation, avoid and minimize 
impacts to natural resources, including tidewater gobies and their 
habitat.
    Habitat features essential to the conservation of the tidewater 
goby exist on the Base; however, designating critical habitat on this 
military installation may impact its role as the Marine Corps' premier 
West Coast amphibious training base and therefore affect the nation's 
military readiness. Activities occurring on the Base are currently 
being conducted in a manner that minimizes impacts to tidewater goby 
habitat. In addition, the Base already programmatically consulted for 
regularly occurring activities and regularly consults on any of their 
actions that fall outside of that programmatic consultation. This 
military installation has an approved INRMP that provides a benefit to 
the tidewater goby and the Marine Corps has committed to work closely 
with the Service and the State wildlife agency to continually refine 
the existing INRMP as part of the Sikes Act's INRMP review process.
Vandenberg Air Force Base
    Based on the considerations outlined above in the introduction to 
this section

[[Page 68939]]

and in accordance with section 4(a)(3)(B)(i) of the Act, we have 
determined that conservation efforts identified in the INRMP for 
Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB) in Santa Barbara County provide 
benefits to the tidewater goby occurring in habitats within or adjacent 
to VAFB. This includes approximately 775 ac (314 ha) of habitat on 
VAFB. This habitat is located in the following areas: Shuman Canyon, 
San Antonio Creek, and the Santa Ynez River. Therefore, we are not 
including critical habitat for tidewater goby on this installation 
pursuant to section 4(a)(3) of the Act for the reasons described below.
    VAFB completed an INRMP in 1997, prior to the passage and 
implementation of the Sikes Act Improvements Act of 1997; in 2003, VAFB 
revised their INRMP, and we provided comments on the revised INRMP, in 
a letter dated August 2, 2004. The older plan and the revised INRMP 
provide conservation measures for the tidewater goby, as well as for 
the management of important wetland habitats on the base.
    VAFB's INRMP benefits tidewater gobies through: (1) Avoidance of 
tidewater gobies and their habitat, whenever possible, in project 
planning; (2) scheduling of activities that may affect tidewater gobies 
outside of the peak breeding period (March-July); (3) coordination with 
VAFB water quality staff to prevent degradation and contamination of 
aquatic habitats; and (4) prohibiting the introduction of nonnative 
fishes into streams on-base. Further, VAFB's environmental staff 
reviews projects and enforces existing regulations and orders that, 
through their implementation, avoid and minimize impacts to natural 
resources, including tidewater gobies and their habitat. In addition, 
VAFB's INRMP provides protection to aquatic habitats for the tidewater 
goby by excluding cattle from wetlands and riparian areas through the 
installation and maintenance of fencing. VAFB's INRMP specifies 
periodic monitoring of the distribution and abundance of tidewater goby 
populations on the base.
    Habitat features essential to the conservation of the tidewater 
goby exist on VAFB; however, designating critical habitat on this 
military installation may impact its mission of launching and tracking 
of satellites and testing and evaluating missile systems, and therefore 
affect the nation's military readiness. Activities occurring on VAFB 
are currently being conducted in a manner that minimizes impacts to 
tidewater goby habitat. This military installation has an approved 
INRMP that provides a benefit to the tidewater goby, and VAFB has 
committed to work closely with the Service and the State wildlife 
agency to continually refine their existing INRMP as part of the Sikes 
Act's INRMP review process. Therefore, approximately 775 ac (314 ha) of 
critical habitat subject to the INRM at Shuman Canyon, San Antonio 
Creek, and the Santa Ynez River are exempted from critical habitat in 
this proposal to revise critical habitat.

Exclusions Under Section 4(b)(2) of the Act

    Section 4(b)(2) of the Act states that critical habitat shall be 
designated, and revised, on the basis of the best available scientific 
data after taking into consideration the economic impact, national 
security impact, and any other relevant impact, of specifying any 
particular area as critical habitat. The Secretary may exclude an area 
from critical habitat if [s]he determines that the benefits of such 
exclusion outweigh the benefits of specifying such area as part of the 
critical habitat, unless [s]he determines, based on the best scientific 
data available, that the failure to designate such area as critical 
habitat will result in the extinction of the species. In making that 
determination, the Secretary is afforded broad discretion and the 
Congressional record is clear that in making a determination under the 
section the Secretary has discretion as to which factors and how much 
weight will be given to any factor.
    Under section 4(b)(2), in considering whether to exclude a 
particular area from the designation, we must identify the benefits of 
including the area in the designation, identify the benefits of 
excluding the area from the designation, determine whether the benefits 
of exclusion outweigh the benefits of inclusion. If an exclusion is 
contemplated, then we must determine whether excluding the area would 
result in the extinction of the species. The Service is conducting an 
economic analysis of the impacts of the proposal to revise critical 
habitat and related factors, which will be available for public review 
and comment. Based on public comment on that document, the proposed 
revision itself, and the information in the final economic analysis, 
particular areas may be excluded from critical habitat by the Secretary 
under the provisions of section 4(b)(2) of the Act. This is provided 
for in the Act, and in our implementing regulations at 50 CFR 242.19.

Economic Analysis

    An analysis of the economic impacts of proposing to revise critical 
habitat for the tidewater goby is being prepared. We will announce the 
availability of the draft economic analysis as soon as it is completed, 
at which time we will seek public review and comment. At that time, 
copies of the draft economic analysis will be available for downloading 
from the Internet at http://www.fws.gov/ventura/ or by contacting the 
Ventura Fish and Wildlife Office directly (see ADDRESSES section).

Peer Review

    In accordance with our joint policy published in the Federal 
Register on July 1, 1994 (59 FR 34270), we will seek the expert 
opinions of at least three appropriate and independent specialists 
regarding this proposed rule. The purpose of such review is to ensure 
that our critical habitat designation is based on scientifically sound 
data, assumptions, and analyses. We will send these peer reviewers 
copies of this proposed rule immediately following publication in the 
Federal Register. We will invite these peer reviewers to comment, 
during the public comment period, on the specific assumptions and 
conclusions regarding the proposal to revise critical habitat.
    We will consider all comments and information received during the 
comment period on this proposed rule during preparation of a final 
rulemaking. Accordingly, the final decision may differ from this 
proposal.

Public Hearings

    The Act provides for one or more public hearings on this proposal, 
if requested. Requests for public hearings must be made in writing at 
least 15 days prior to the close of the public comment period. We will 
schedule public hearings on this proposal, if any are requested, and 
announce the dates, times, and places of those hearings in the Federal 
Register and local newspapers at least 15 days prior to the first 
hearing.

Clarity of the Rule

    Executive Order 12866 requires each agency to write regulations and 
notices that are easy to understand. We invite your comments on how to 
make this proposed rule easier to understand, including answers to 
questions such as the following: (1) Are the requirements in the 
proposed rule clearly stated? (2) Does the proposed rule contain 
technical jargon that interferes with the clarity? (3) Does the format 
of the proposed rule (grouping and order of the sections, use of 
headings, paragraphing, and so forth) aid or reduce its clarity? (4) Is 
the description

[[Page 68940]]

of the notice in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of the preamble 
helpful in understanding the proposed rule? (5) What else could we do 
to make this proposed rule easier to understand?
    Send a copy of any comments on how we could make this proposed rule 
easier to understand to: Office of Regulatory Affairs, Department of 
the Interior, Room 7229, 1849 C Street, NW., Washington, DC 20240. You 
may e-mail your comments to this address: <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#f0b588839593b0999f83de949f99de979f86"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="9bdee3e8fef8dbf2f4e8b5fff4f2b5fcf4ed">[email protected]</span></a>.

Required Determinations

Regulatory Planning and Review

    In accordance with Executive Order 12866, this document is a 
significant rule in that it may raise novel legal and policy issues, 
but it is not anticipated to have an annual effect on the economy of 
$100 million or more or affect the economy in a material way. Due to 
the tight timeline for publication in the Federal Register, the Office 
of Management and Budget (OMB) has not formally reviewed this rule. We 
are preparing a draft economic analysis of this proposed action, which 
will be available for public comment, to determine the economic 
consequences of designating the specific area as critical habitat. This 
economic analysis also will be used to determine compliance with 
Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Flexibility Act, Small Business 
Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act, Executive Order 12630, Executive 
Order 13211, and Executive Order 12875.
    Further, Executive Order 12866 directs Federal Agencies 
promulgating regulations to evaluate regulatory alternatives (Office of 
Management and Budget, Circular A-4, September 17, 2003). Pursuant to 
Circular A-4, once it has been determined that the Federal regulatory 
action is appropriate, then the agency will need to consider 
alternative regulatory approaches. Since the determination of critical 
habitat is a statutory requirement pursuant to the Endangered Species 
Act of 1973, as amended (Act) (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), we must then 
evaluate alternative regulatory approaches, where feasible, when 
promulgating a designation of critical habitat.
    In developing our designations of critical habitat, we consider 
economic impacts, impacts to national security, and other relevant 
impacts pursuant to section 4(b)(2) of the Act. Based on the discretion 
allowable under this provision, we may exclude any particular area from 
the designation of critical habitat providing that the benefits of such 
exclusion outweigh the benefits of specifying the area as critical 
habitat and that such exclusion would not result in the extinction of 
the subspecies. As such, we believe that the evaluation of the 
inclusion or exclusion of particular areas, or combination thereof, in 
a designation constitutes our regulatory alternative analysis.
    Within these areas, the types of Federal actions or authorized 
activities that we have identified as potential concerns are listed 
above in the section on Section 7 Consultation. The availability of the 
draft economic analysis will be announced in the Federal Register and 
in local newspapers so that it is available for public review and 
comments. The draft economic analysis can be obtained from the Internet 
Web site at http://www.fws.gov/ventura/ or by contacting the Ventura 
Fish and Wildlife Office directly (see ADDRESSES).

Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.)

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., as 
amended by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act 
(SBREFA) of 1996), whenever an agency is required to publish a notice 
of rulemaking for any proposed or final rule, it must prepare and make 
available for public comment a regulatory flexibility analysis that 
describes the effects of the rule on small entities (i.e., small 
businesses, small organizations, and small government jurisdictions). 
However, no regulatory flexibility analysis is required if the head of 
the agency certifies the rule will not have a significant economic 
impact on a substantial number of small entities. The SBREFA amended 
the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) to require Federal agencies to 
provide a statement of the factual basis for certifying that the rule 
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of 
small entities.
    At this time, the Service lacks the available economic information 
necessary to provide an adequate factual basis for the required RFA 
finding. Therefore, the RFA finding is deferred until completion of the 
draft economic analysis prepared pursuant to section 4(b)(2) of the Act 
and E.O. 12866. This draft economic analysis will provide the required 
factual basis for the RFA finding. Upon completion of the draft 
economic analysis, the Service will publish a notice of availability of 
the draft economic analysis of the proposal to revise critical habitat 
and reopen the public comment period for the proposed revision for an 
additional 60 days. The Service will include with the notice of 
availability, as appropriate, an initial regulatory flexibility 
analysis or a certification that the rule will not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities accompanied 
by the factual basis for that determination. The Service has concluded 
that deferring the RFA finding until completion of the draft economic 
analysis is necessary to meet the purposes and requirements of the RFA. 
Deferring the RFA finding in this manner will ensure that the Service 
makes a sufficiently informed determination based on adequate economic 
information and provides the necessary opportunity for public comment.

Executive Order 13211

    On May 18, 2001, the President issued an Executive Order (E.O. 
13211; Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy 
Supply, Distribution, or Use) on regulations that significantly affect 
energy supply, distribution, and use. Executive Order 13211 requires 
agencies to prepare Statements of Energy Effects when undertaking 
certain actions. This proposed rule to designate revised critical 
habitat for the tidewater goby is a significant regulatory action under 
Executive Order 12866, but it is not expected to significantly affect 
energy supplies, distribution, or use. Therefore, this action is not a 
significant energy action and no Statement of Energy Effects is 
required.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.)

    In accordance with the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (2 U.S.C. 
1501), the Service makes the following findings:
    (a) This rule will not produce a Federal mandate. In general, a 
Federal mandate is a provision in legislation, statute or regulation 
that would impose an enforceable duty upon State, local, or Tribal 
governments, or the private sector and includes both ``Federal 
intergovernmental mandates'' and ``Federal private sector mandates.'' 
These terms are defined in 2 U.S.C. 658(5)-(7). ``Federal 
intergovernmental mandate'' includes a regulation that ``would impose 
an enforceable duty upon State, local, or tribal governments'' with two 
exceptions. It excludes ``a condition of Federal assistance.'' It also 
excludes ``a duty arising from participation in a voluntary Federal 
program,'' unless the regulation ``relates to a then-existing Federal 
program under which $500,000,000 or more is provided annually to State, 
local, and tribal governments under entitlement authority,'' if the 
provision would

[[Page 68941]]

``increase the stringency of conditions of assistance'' or ``place caps 
upon, or otherwise decrease, the Federal Government's responsibility to 
provide funding,'' and the State, local, or tribal governments ``lack 
authority'' to adjust accordingly. At the time of enactment, these 
entitlement programs were: Medicaid; AFDC work programs; Child 
Nutrition; Food Stamps; Social Services Block Grants; Vocational 
Rehabilitation State Grants; Foster Care, Adoption Assistance, and 
Independent Living; Family Support Welfare Services; and Child Support 
Enforcement. ``Federal private sector mandate'' includes a regulation 
that ``would impose an enforceable duty upon the private sector, except 
(i) a condition of Federal assistance or (ii) a duty arising from 
participation in a voluntary Federal program.''
    The designation of critical habitat does not impose a legally 
binding duty on non-Federal government entities or private parties. 
Under the Act, the only regulatory effect is that Federal agencies must 
ensure that their actions do not destroy or adversely modify critical 
habitat under section 7. While non-Federal entities that receive 
Federal funding, assistance, or permits, or that otherwise require 
approval or authorization from a Federal agency for an action, may be 
indirectly impacted by the designation of critical habitat, the legally 
binding duty to avoid destruction or adverse modification of critical 
habitat rests squarely on the Federal agency. Furthermore, to the 
extent that non-Federal entities are indirectly impacted because they 
receive Federal assistance or participate in a voluntary Federal aid 
program, the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act would not apply; nor would 
critical habitat shift the costs of the large entitlement programs 
listed above on to State governments.
    (b) We do not believe that this rule will significantly or uniquely 
affect small governments because only about 2 percent (231 ac (93 ha)) 
of the total proposed critical habitat designation for the tidewater 
goby is owned by small government entities. As such, a Small Government 
Agency Plan is not required. We will, however, further evaluate this 
issue as we conduct our economic analysis and revise this assessment if 
appropriate.

Takings

    In accordance with Executive Order 12630 (``Government Actions and 
Interference with Constitutionally Protected Private Property 
Rights''), we have analyzed the potential takings implications of 
designating critical habitat for the tidewater goby in a takings 
implications assessment. The takings implications assessment concludes 
that this designation of critical habitat for the tidewater goby does 
not pose significant takings implications. However, we will further 
evaluate this issue as we conduct our economic analysis and review and 
revise this assessment as warranted.

Federalism

    In accordance with Executive Order 13132 (Federalism), the rule 
does not have significant Federalism effects. A Federalism assessment 
is not required. In keeping with Department of the Interior and 
Department of Commerce policy, we requested information from, and 
coordinated development of this proposal to revise critical habitat 
with, appropriate State resource agencies in the State of California. 
The revised designation of critical habitat in areas currently occupied 
by the tidewater goby imposes no additional restrictions to those 
currently in place and, therefore, has little incremental impact on 
State and local governments and their activities. The revised 
designation may have some benefit to these governments in that the 
areas that contain the features essential to the conservation of the 
species are more clearly defined, and the primary constituent elements 
of the habitat necessary to the conservation of the species are 
specifically identified. While making this definition and 
identification does not alter where and what federally sponsored 
activities may occur, it may assist these local governments in long-
range planning (rather than waiting for case-by-case section 7 
consultations to occur).

Civil Justice Reform

    In accordance with Executive Order 12988 (Civil Justice Reform), 
the Office of the Solicitor has determined that the rule does not 
unduly burden the judicial system and meets the requirements of 
sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of the Order. We have proposed revising 
critical habitat in accordance with the provisions of the Endangered 
Species Act. This proposed rule uses standard property descriptions and 
identifies the primary constituent elements within the designated areas 
to assist the public in understanding the habitat needs of the 
tidewater goby.

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.)

    This rule does not contain any new collections of information that 
require approval by OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act. This rule 
will not impose recordkeeping or reporting requirements on State or 
local governments, individuals, businesses, or organizations. An agency 
may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, 
a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB 
control number.

National Environmental Policy Act

    It is our position that, outside the Tenth Circuit, we do not need 
to prepare environmental analyses as defined by the NEPA in connection 
with designating critical habitat under the Endangered Species Act of 
1973, as amended. We published a notice outlining our reasons for this 
determination in the Federal Register on October 25, 1983 (48 FR 
49244). This assertion was upheld in the courts of the Ninth Circuit 
(Douglas County v. Babbitt, 48 F.3d 1495 (9th Cir. Ore. 1995), cert. 
denied 116 S. Ct. 698 (1996)).

Government-to-Government Relationship With Tribes

    In accordance with the President's memorandum of April 29, 1994, 
``Government-to-Government Relations with Native American Tribal 
Governments'' (59 FR 22951), Executive Order 13175, and the Department 
of Interior's manual at 512 DM 2, we readily acknowledge our 
responsibility to communicate meaningfully with recognized Federal 
Tribes on a government-to-government basis. We have determined that 
there are no tribal lands occupied at the time of listing that contain 
the features essential for the conservation and no tribal lands that 
are unoccupied areas that are essential for the conservation of the 
tidewater goby. Therefore, revised critical habitat for the tidewater 
goby has not been designated on Tribal lands.

    Tidewater Goby (Eucyclogobius newberrii)
    (1) Critical habitat units are depicted for Del Norte, Humboldt, 
Mendocino, Sonoma, Marin, San Mateo, Santa Cruz, Monterey, San Luis 
Obispo, Santa Barbara, Ventura, and Los Angeles Counties, California, 
on the maps below.
    (2) The primary constituent elements of critical habitat for the 
tidewater goby are the habitat components that provide:
    (i) Persistent, shallow (in the range of about 0.1-2 m), still-to-
slow-moving, aquatic habitat most commonly ranging in salinity from 
less than 0.5 ppt to about 10-12 ppt;
    (ii) Substrates (e.g., sand, silt, mud) suitable for the 
construction of burrows for reproduction;
    (iii) Submerged and emergent aquatic vegetation, such as 
Potamogeton pectinatus and Ruppia maritima, that provides protection 
from predators; and
    (iv) Presence of a sandbar(s) across the mouth of a lagoon or 
estuary during the late spring, summer, and fall that closes or 
partially closes the lagoon or estuary, thereby providing relatively 
stable water levels and salinity.
    (3) Critical habitat does not include manmade structures (such as 
buildings, aqueducts, airports, and roads, and the land on which such 
structures are located) existing on the effective date of this rule and 
not containing one or more of the primary constituent elements.
    Critical habitat map units.
    (4) Boundaries of critical habitat are defined for most units using 
National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) data (both published data available 
over the Internet and in-publication provisional data). Where NWI data 
was lacking, unit boundaries are digitized directly on imagery from the 
Department of Agriculture's National Aerial Imagery Program data (NAIP) 
acquired in 2005. NAIP and NWI data are projected to Universal 
Transverse Mercator (UTM), zones 10 and 11, on the North American Datum 
of 1983.
