SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 

28, 2022, OSHA published an Advance 

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

(ANPRM) to seek input on potential 

revisions to its standards for 

occupational exposure to lead based on 

medical findings since the issuance of 

OSHA’s lead standards that adverse 

health effects in adults can occur at 

Blood Lead Levels (BLLs) lower than the 

medical removal level (≥60 mg/dL in 

general industry, ≥50 mg/dL in 

construction) and lower than the level 

required under current standards for an 

employee to return to their former job 

status (<40 mg/dL). The agency is 

seeking input on reducing the current 

BLL triggers in the medical surveillance 

and medical removal protection 

provisions of the general industry and 

construction standards for lead. The 

agency is also seeking input about how 

current ancillary provisions in the lead 

standards can be modified to reduce 

worker BLLs. 

The public comment period for this 

ANPRM was to close on August 29, 

2022, 60 days after publication of the 

ANPRM. However, OSHA received 

multiple stakeholder requests for an 

extension of the public comment period 

(Document ID OSHA–2018–0004–0088 

(requesting an extension of 90 

additional days), OSHA–2018–0004– 

0089 (requesting an extension of 90 

additional days), OSHA–2018–0004– 

0091 (requesting an extension of 60 

days), OSHA–2018–0004–0092 

(requesting a minimum extension of 30 

days) and OSHA–2018–0004–0093 

(requesting an extension of 90 days)).

time is needed to gather data and 

information and to coordinate responses 

from organization members to develop a 

comprehensive response. 

OSHA agrees to an extension and 

believes a 60-day extension of the 

public comment period is sufficient and 

appropriate in order to address these 

stakeholder requests. Therefore, the 

public comment period will be 

extended until October 28, 2022.

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife 

and Plants; Endangered Species 

Status for Magnificent Ramshorn and 

Designation of Critical Habitat 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service (Service), propose to 

list magnificent ramshorn (Planorbella 

magnifica), a freshwater snail species 

from southeastern North Carolina, as an 

endangered species and to designate 

critical habitat for the species under the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended (Act). In total, approximately 

739 acres (299 hectares) of two ponds in 

Brunswick County, North Carolina, fall 

within the boundaries of the proposed 

critical habitat designation. We also 

announce the availability of a draft 

economic analysis (DEA) of the 

proposed designation of critical habitat 

for magnificent ramshorn. In addition, 

this document serves as our 12-month 

finding on a petition to list magnificent 

ramshorn. If we finalize this rule as 

proposed, it would extend the Act’s 

protections to this species and its 

designated critical habitat. 

DATES: We will accept comments 

received or postmarked on or before 

October 17, 2022. Comments submitted 

electronically using the Federal 

eRulemaking Portal (see ADDRESSES, 

below) must be received by 11:59 p.m. 

eastern time on the closing date. We 

must receive requests for public 

hearings, in writing, at the address

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Executive Summary 

Why we need to publish a rule. Under 

the Act, a species warrants listing if it 

meets the definition of an endangered 

species (in danger of extinction 

throughout all or a significant portion of 

its range) or a threatened species (likely 

to become an endangered species within 

the foreseeable future throughout all or 

a significant portion of its range). If we 

determine that a species warrants 

listing, we must list the species 

promptly and designate the species’ 

critical habitat to the maximum extent 

prudent and determinable. We have 

determined that magnificent ramshorn 

meets the definition of an endangered 

species; therefore, we are proposing to 

list it as such and proposing designation 

of its critical habitat. Both listing a 

species as an endangered or threatened 

species and making a critical habitat 

determination can be completed only by 

issuing a rule through the 

Administrative Procedure Act 

rulemaking process. 

What this document does. We 

propose to list magnificent ramshorn as 

an endangered species under the Act, 

and we propose to designate critical 

habitat for the species. 

The basis for our action. Under the 

Act, we may determine that a species is 

an endangered or threatened species 

because of any of five factors: (A) The 

present or threatened destruction, 

modification, or curtailment of its 

habitat or range; (B) overutilization for 

commercial, recreational, scientific, or 

educational purposes; (C) disease or 

predation; (D) the inadequacy of 

existing regulatory mechanisms; or (E) 

other natural or manmade factors 

affecting its continued existence. We 

have determined the species may no 

longer exist in the wild, as it has not 

been found in surveys over the past 40 

years at the only known historical 

locations. While likely locally 

extirpated from the wild, it does persist 

in captive populations. The most 

significant stressor that likely led to the 

extirpation of magnificent ramshorn in
