to the revenue benchmark.

18. We also encourage parties to

provide further information about the

services that can be provided over the

network that the universal service

mechanism is designed to support, and

the revenues related to those services,

because such information will enable us

to set the benchmarks accurately. Based

on 1994 data received in response to our

earlier data request in CC Docket No.

80–286, the Commission suggested in

the Universal Service Order that the

benchmarks might be set at

approximately $31 for residential

service and $51 for business service.35

Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis

19. In the Universal Service Order we

conducted a Final Regulatory Flexibility

Analysis (FRFA),36 as required by the

Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA).37 We

received no petitions for reconsideration

of that FRFA. In this present Public

Notice, the Commission promulgates no

additional final rules, and our action

does not affect the previous analysis. If

commenters believe that the proposals

discussed in this Public Notice require

additional RFA analysis, they should

include a discussion of these issues in

their comments.

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife

and Plants; Reopening of Comment

Period on Proposed Endangered

Status for the San Xavier Talussnail

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service,

Interior.

ACTION: Proposed rule; notice of

reopening of public comment period.

SUMMARY: The Fish and Wildlife Service

(Service) provides notice that the public

comment period for the proposal to list

the San Xavier talussnail (Sonorella

eremita) is reopened. This land snail is

known to occur at a single site near

Tucson, Arizona, in an area of limestone

talus about 50 by 100 feet in size.

DATES: The comment period originally

closed on May 24, 1994. This notice

reopens the public comment period,

which now closes on July 21, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and

materials should be sent to the Field

Supervisor, Arizona Ecological Services

Field Office, U.S. Fish and Wildlife

Service, 2321 W. Royal Palm Road,

Suite 103, Phoenix, Arizona 85021.

Comments and materials received will

be available for public inspection during

normal business hours, by appointment,

at the above address.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Debra Bills, Arizona Ecological Services

Field Office, at the above address or

telephone (602) 640–2720.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The San Xavier talussnail was first

proposed as endangered on March 23,

1994 (59 FR 13691). At that time, a 60-

day public comment period was opened

until May 23, 1994, and all interested

parties were requested to submit factual

reports or information that might

contribute to the development of a final

rule. A final determination of whether

to list the San Xavier talussnail has not

yet been made.

Following a recent examination of

property boundaries, the Service

discovered that the owner of the habitat

occupied by the San Xavier talussnail is

not the entity previously believed to be

the owner. In consideration of the new

information concerning ownership of

the species’ habitat and the length of

time that has elapsed since the initial

proposal, the Service has determined

that reopening the comment period is

necessary. The Service is seeking

comments or suggestions from the

public, other concerned governmental

agencies, the scientific community,

industry, or any other interested party

concerning this proposed rule. The

Service is seeking any new information

that may have been developed since the

proposal was published, and that may

expand the current knowledge

concerning the status, distribution, or

threats surrounding the San Xavier

talussnail.

et seq.).
