Ex Parte Rules. This proceeding shall 

be treated as a ‘‘permit-but-disclose’’ 

proceeding in accordance with the 

Commission’s ex parte rules. Persons 

making ex parte presentations must file 

a copy of any written presentation or a 

memorandum summarizing any oral 

presentation within two business days 

after the presentation (unless a different 

deadline applicable to the Sunshine 

period applies). Persons making oral ex 

parte presentations are reminded that 

memoranda summarizing the 

presentation must: (1) list all persons 

attending or otherwise participating in 

the meeting at which the ex parte 

presentation was made; and (2) 

summarize all data presented and 

arguments made during the 

presentation. If the presentation 

consisted in whole or in part of the 

presentation of data or arguments 

already reflected in the presenters 

written comments, memoranda, or other 

filings in the proceeding, the presenter 

may provide citations to such data or 

arguments in his or her prior comments, 

memoranda, or other filings (specifying 

the relevant page and/or paragraph 

numbers where such data or arguments 

can be found) in lieu of summarizing 

them in the memorandum. Documents 

shown or given to Commission staff 

during ex parte meetings are deemed to 

be written ex parte presentations and 

must be filed consistent with § 1.1206(b) 

of the Commission’s rules. In 

proceedings governed by § 1.49(f) of the 

rules or for which the Commission has 

made available a method of electronic 

filing, written ex parte presentations 

and memoranda summarizing oral ex 

parte presentations, and all attachments 

thereto, must be filed through the 

electronic comment filing system 

available for that proceeding, and must 

be filed in their native format (e.g., .doc,

parte rules.

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife 

and Plants; Endangered Species 

Status for Oblong Rocksnail (Leptoxis 

compacta) 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service (Service), propose to 

list the oblong rocksnail (Leptoxis 

compacta), a freshwater snail native to 

the Cahaba River in Alabama, as an 

endangered species under the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended (Act). This determination also 

serves as our 12-month finding on a 

petition to list the oblong rocksnail. 

After a review of the best available 

scientific and commercial information, 

we find that listing the species is 

warranted. If we finalize this rule as 

proposed, it will add this species to the 

List of Endangered and Threatened 

Wildlife and extend the Act’s 

protections to the species. 

DATES: We will accept comments 

received or postmarked on or before 

January 2, 2024. Comments submitted
