Endangered and Threatened Wildlife 

and Plants; Designation of Critical 

Habitat for the Louisiana Black Bear 

(Ursus americanus luteolus) 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service (Service), designate 

critical habitat for the Louisiana black 

bear (Ursus americanus luteolus) under 

the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended (Act). In total, approximately 

1,195,821 acres (483,932 hectares) in 

Avoyelles, East Carroll, Catahoula, 

Concordia, Franklin, Iberia, Iberville, 

Madison, Pointe Coupee, Richland, St. 

Martin, St. Mary, Tensas, West Carroll, 

and West Feliciana Parishes, Louisiana, 

fall within the boundaries of the critical 

habitat designation. 

DATES: This rule becomes effective on 

April 9, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: This final rule and the 

associated final economic analysis are 

available on the Internet at http:// 

www.regulations.gov and at http://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

It is our intent to discuss only those 

topics directly relevant to the 

development and designation of critical 

habitat for the Louisiana black bear in 

this final rule. For more information on 

the biology and ecology of the Louisiana 

black bear, refer to the final listing rule 

published in the Federal Register on 

January 7, 1992 (57 FR 588), and to our 

1995 final recovery plan, which is 

available from the Lafayette Ecological 

Services Field Office (see ADDRESSES

section). For information on Louisiana 

black bear critical habitat, refer to the 

proposed rule to designate critical 

habitat for the Louisiana black bear 

published in the Federal Register on 

May 6, 2008 (73 FR 25354). Information 

on the associated draft economic 

analysis for the proposed rule to 

designate revised critical habitat was 

published in the Federal Register on 

November 12, 2008 (73 FR 66831). 

Previous Federal Actions 

We listed the Louisiana black bear 

(Ursus americanus luteolus) as 

threatened under the Act (16 U.S.C. 

1531 et seq.) on January 7, 1992 (57 FR 

588). In our final rule listing this 

subspecies, we determined that normal 

forest management activities supporting 

a sustained yield of timber products and 

wildlife habitats were compatible with 

Louisiana black bear’s needs. 

Accordingly, we promulgated a special 

rule under section 4(d) of the Act, 

which can be found at 50 CFR 17.40(i), 

exempting the effects incidental to 

normal forest management activities 

within the subspecies’ historic range, 

except for activities causing damage to 

or loss of den trees, den tree sites, or 

candidate den trees (57 FR 588). For the 

purposes of that exemption, normal 

forest management activities are those 

activities that support a sustained yield 

of timber products and wildlife habitats, 

thereby maintaining forestland 

conditions in occupied (i.e., breeding) 

habitat. Research has supported this 

decision. In fact, in some cases, such as 

leaving downed tree tops and creating 

openings, timber management can 

provide or enhance black bear habitat 

(Weaver 1999, pp. 126–128; Hightower 

et al. 2002, p. 14; Weaver et al. 1990, p. 

344; Lindsey and Meslow 1977, p. 424). 

Therefore, we have not considered 

changing the special rule at 50 CFR 

17.40. 

We first proposed critical habitat for 

the Louisiana black bear on December 2, 

1993 (58 FR 63560), but never published 

a final rule designating critical habitat. 

On September 6, 2005, Mr. Harold 

Schoeffler and the Louisiana Crawfish 

Producers Association—West filed suit 

in U.S. District Court for the Western 

District of Louisiana (Civil Action No. 

CV05–1573 (W.D. La.)) regarding our 

failure to designate critical habitat for 

the Louisiana black bear. 

On June 26, 2007, the Court ordered 

the Service to withdraw the December 2, 

1993, proposed critical habitat rule and 

create a new proposed critical habitat 

designation by no later than 4 months 

from the date of the judgment and to 

publish a final designation by no later 

than 8 months from the date of the 

proposed or new rule. On September 5, 

2007, following a settlement agreement, 

the Court revised its order to require the 

Service to: (1) Withdraw the December 

2, 1993, proposed rule and submit a 

new prudency determination and, if 

prudent, a new proposed critical habitat 

designation to the Federal Register by 

April 26, 2008; and (2) submit a final 

critical habitat determination, if 

prudent, to the Federal Register by 

February 26, 2009. 

On May 6, 2008, we proposed critical 

habitat designation for the Louisiana 

black bear in Avoyelles, Catahoula, 

Concordia, East Carroll, Franklin, Iberia, 

Iberville, Madison, Pointe Coupee, 

Richland, St. Martin, St. Mary, Tensas, 

West Carroll, and West Feliciana 

Parishes, Louisiana (73 FR 25354). 

Simultaneously, we announced our 

withdrawal of the 1993 proposal and 

our new prudency determination. The 

proposed rule described three units 

totaling approximately 1,330,000 acres 

(ac) (538,894 hectares (ha)) within 

Louisiana. 

For more information on previous 

Federal actions concerning the 

Louisiana black bear, refer to the final 

rule listing this subspecies as threatened 

published in the Federal Register on 

January 7, 1992 (57 FR 588), and the 

proposed critical habitat rule published 

in the Federal Register on December 2, 

1993 (58 FR 63560). 

Summary of Comments and 

Recommendations 

We requested written comments from 

the public on the proposed designation 

of critical habitat for the Louisiana black 

bear during two comment periods. The 

first comment period associated with 

the publication of the proposed rule (73 

FR 25354) opened on May 6, 2008, and 

closed on July 7, 2008. We also 

requested comments on the proposed 

critical habitat designation and 

associated draft economic analysis 

during a comment period that opened 

November 12, 2008, and closed on 

December 12, 2008 (73 FR 66831). We 

also contacted appropriate Federal, 

State, and local agencies; scientific 

organizations; and other interested 

parties and invited them to comment on 

the proposed rule and draft economic 

analysis during these two comment 

periods. 

During the first comment period, we 

received 12 comment letters directly 

addressing the proposed critical habitat 

designation. During the second 

comment period, we received 15 

comment letters addressing the 

proposed critical habitat designation or 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 45 / Tuesday, March 10, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 10351 

the draft economic analysis. All 

substantive information provided 

during both comment periods has either 

been incorporated directly into this final 

determination or addressed below. 

Peer Review 

In accordance with our policy 

published on July 1, 1994 (59 FR 

34270), we solicited expert opinions 

from five knowledgeable individuals 

with scientific expertise that includes 

familiarity with the subspecies, the 

geographic region in which the 

subspecies occurs, and conservation 

biology principles. We received 

responses from three of the peer 

reviewers. 

We reviewed all comments received 

from the peer reviewers for substantive 

issues and new information regarding 

critical habitat for the Louisiana black 

bear. The peer reviewers generally 

concurred with our methods and 

conclusions and provided additional 

information, clarifications, and 

suggestions to improve the final critical 

habitat rule. Peer reviewer comments 

are addressed in the following summary 

and incorporated into the final rule as 

appropriate. 

Peer Reviewer Comments 

(1) Comment: One peer reviewer 

questioned the permanency of perpetual 

easements purchased through the 

Wetland Reserve Program (WRP) and 

the process by which such easements 

could be terminated. 

Our Response: According to the WRP 

Manual, found in Title II (Conservation) 

of The Farm Security and Rural 

Investment Act of 2002 (2002 Farm Bill; 

Public Law 107–171), prior to making a 

decision regarding easement 

termination, the Natural Resources 

Conservation Service (NRCS) must: (1) 

Consult with the Service; (2) investigate 

whether reasonable alternatives to the 

proposed action exist; and (3) determine 

whether the easement modification is 

appropriate considering the purposes of 

WRP and the facts surrounding the 

request for easement modification or 

termination. Any WRP easement 

modification, including termination, 

must: (1) Be approved by the Director of 

the NRCS in consultation with the 

Service (the National WRP Program 

Manager must coordinate the 

consultation with the Service at the 

national level); (2) not adversely affect 

the wetland functions and values for 

which the easement was acquired; (3) 

result in equal or greater ecological (and 

economic) values to the U.S. 

Government; (4) further the purposes of 

the program and address a compelling 

public need; and (5) comply with 

applicable Federal requirements, 

including the Act, the National 

Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 

4321 et seq.), Executive Order 11990 

(Protection of Wetlands), and related 

requirements. At least 90 days before 

taking any action to terminate an 

easement, the Secretary of the 

Department of Agriculture must provide 

written notice of such action to the 

Committee on Agriculture of the U.S. 

House of Representatives and the 

Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, 

and Forestry of the U.S. Senate. 

Therefore, based on our assessment of 

these requirements, the termination of a 

WRP easement appears highly 

improbable. 

In addition, our Lafayette Ecological 

Services Field Office has partnered with 

NRCS to administer WRP in Louisiana 

since the inception of that program in 

1992. Following a comprehensive 

review of our local files, and a search of 

national WRP records, we have been 

unable to find a single instance of a 

WRP easement being terminated in the 

history of that program (which includes 

nearly 10,000 projects on approximately 

2 million ac (800,000 ha) of land 

nationwide). 

(2) Comment: One peer reviewer 

expressed concern about the potential 

future conversion of non-WRP 

forestland to agricultural uses. 

Our Response: Results of recent 

studies indicate that there has been a 

reversal in the pre-1980s trend of forest 

conversion to agricultural use in the 

Lower Mississippi River Alluvial Valley 

(LMAV). Documentation of that reversal 

is limited, however, and a clear 

understanding of the magnitude of 

afforestation to date has been difficult 

because of the lack of collated data 

(Schoenholtz et al. 2001, p. 603). 

Nonetheless, available data indicates 

that over the past three decades, forest 

restoration in the LMAV portions of 

Louisiana, Mississippi, and Arkansas 

has increased dramatically, and has led 

to a significant removal of land from 

agricultural production for the purpose 

of hardwood forest establishment 

(Gardiner and Oliver 2005, p. 243). For 

example, in the LMAV region of 

Mississippi, the total forested area 

increased by 11 percent between 1987 

and 1994, and reforestation of former 

agricultural lands accounted for nearly 

40 percent of that increase (King and 

Keeland 1999, p. 352). Between 1993 

and 2007, over 140,000 ac (57,000 ha) 

were restored to forestland via WRP, 

and 200,000 ac (81,000 ha) via the 

Conservation Reserve Program, within 

Louisiana black bear habitat priority 

areas in Louisiana (Ginger et al. 2007, p. 

41). In summary, there is no evidence 

that any significant amount of forestland 

will be converted to agriculture in the 

future, and to the contrary, there is a 

promising trend in the annual increase 

of bottomland hardwood forest (BLH) 

forestation across the LMAV 

(Schoenholtz et al. 2001, p. 612). 

(3) Comment: One peer reviewer 

questioned whether bottomland 

hardwoods designated as critical habitat 

would be considered jurisdictional 

wetlands which would require permit 

authorization under section 404 of the 

Clean Water Act prior to filling for 

developmental, agricultural, or other 

purposes. That reviewer also inquired 

about habitat losses and associated 

impacts to bears should section 404 

permits authorize the loss of forested 

wetlands within the critical habitat 

boundary. 

Our Response: The U.S. Army Corps 

of Engineers (Corps) has been delegated 

the authority to regulate the placement 

of fill in wetlands and other waters of 

the United States. Wetland 

determination for regulatory purposes, 

such as assessments of wetland losses 

incurred from section 404-permitted 

activities, is typically done on a projectspecific basis by Corps personnel. 

Although regional large-scale wetland 

determination maps have not been 

typically used or developed by the 

Corps for jurisdictional purposes, based 

on our knowledge of forested 

ecosystems in the LMAV, we believe 

that most bottomland hardwoods within 

the critical habitat boundary are 

jurisdictional wetlands. Because the 

Corps evaluates permit applications on 

an individual basis, it would not be 

possible to determine whether the Corps 

would issue permits and if, or to what 

extent, they would be modified to 

minimize impacts or to accurately 

assess the full extent of future wetland 

losses from permitted projects. Given 

the nature and extent of previously 

permitted activities in bottomland 

hardwood wetlands within this region, 

we do not anticipate significant habitat 

losses from section 404-permitted 

projects. Furthermore, the Corps 

requires that section 404 permittees 

provide compensatory mitigation to 

replace wetland functions and values 

that are lost via their respective projects. 

Compensatory mitigation area virtually 

always equals or exceeds impacted area 

and is accomplished within, or in 

proximity to, the watershed of the 

impact site. Such mitigation, although 

done strictly for wetland replacement, 

would also provide habitat benefits for 

bears and should exceed habitat losses 

experienced from permitted projects. 

(4) Comment: One peer reviewer 

stated that we have not been able to 

10352 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 45 / Tuesday, March 10, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 

document female interchange between 

the Deltic Timber tracts and the Tensas 

River National Wildlife Refuge 

(TRNWR). Therefore, those populations 

currently function as separate 

populations and should be described as 

such. 

Our Response: After reevaluating all 

available information related to bear 

populations and interchange between 

the Deltic Timber tracts and the 

TRNWR, we agree with this statement 

and have considered this in our 

analysis. It is more correct to state that 

the relationship between those 

populations ‘‘may soon begin,’’ rather 

than ‘‘have likely begun,’’ to function as 

a single population. 

(5) Comment: One peer reviewer 

requested that we provide a more 

detailed description of the process used 

to approximate female bear home ranges 

for our breeding habitat delineation. 

Our Response: Female bear home 

ranges were determined on a 

population-specific basis using 

published, telemetry-based research 

(Anderson 1997, p. 37; Beausoleil 1999, 

p. 60; Marchinton 1995, p. 31; Wagner 

1995, p. 12; Weaver 1999, p. 70). The 

average home range sizes that were 

calculated as minimum convex 

polygons for each population were 

converted to average home range radii. 

Female locations (determined from 

telemetry data collected for the abovereferenced studies) were buffered with 

those population-specific home range 

radii using a geographic information 

system software package to establish an 

approximate breeding habitat boundary. 

Minor modifications to that boundary 

were made based on the availability of 

contiguous habitat and the presence of 

movement barriers (such as large 

expanses of agricultural land or poorquality habitat, waterways, highways, 

urban development, and other major 

landscape features). 

(6) Comment: One peer reviewer 

stated that the estimate of minimum 

habitat size for black bears presented by 

Cox et al. (1994, p. 50) is probably too 

large for Louisiana black bears due to 

higher habitat quality and more 

agricultural crop availability for many 

Louisiana black bear populations. 

Our Response: We concur with this 

statement and did not intend to suggest 

that the Cox et al. (1994) estimate would 

be used as a basis for our habitat 

requirements assessment. We used 

known home range sizes and habitat 

requirements for Louisiana black bears, 

on a population-specific basis (with 

emphasis on the TRNWR population as 

a stable population that relies mostly on 

habitat containing features as described 

by the primary constituent elements 

(PCE) for survival), to determine the 

minimum required habitat size. Our 

mention of the Cox et al. (1994) 

publication was only intended to 

present other research findings related 

to minimum habitat requirements for 

black bears. Consistent with this 

reviewer’s comment, our minimum 

habitat size calculation, as described in 

our May 6, 2008, proposed rule (73 FR 

25354, p. 25364), yielded an estimate 

that is significantly smaller than that of 

Cox et al. (1994). 

(7) Comment: One peer reviewer 

commented on the potential value of 

smaller habitat fragments within larger 

habitat matrices, and whether those 

smaller forested tracts should be 

designated as critical habitat for the 

Louisiana black bear. 

Our Response: We concur that smaller 

habitat patches provide benefits for 

bears, particularly to facilitate 

movement through corridors between 

populations, when they are components 

of a larger habitat matrix. Based on our 

review of available scientific literature, 

we determined that habitat fragments as 

small as 12 ac (5 ha) may be sufficient 

to provide linkage and facilitate 

movement across a fragmented 

landscape (Pelton and Van Manen 1997, 

p. 33; Beausoleil et al. 2005, pp. 409– 

410). For that reason, we included 

‘‘corridors consisting of habitat patches 

12 ac (5 ha) or greater in size’’ in our 

May 6, 2008, proposed rule to designate 

critical habitat for the Louisiana black 

bear (73 FR 25354, p. 25363). 

(8) Comment: One peer reviewer 

requested clarification of our definition 

of an ‘‘actual den tree.’’ 

Our Response: Specific language 

affording protection of actual den trees 

was included in the 1992 4(d) rule that 

was part of the listing of the Louisiana 

black bear as a threatened subspecies 

(57 FR 588, p. 593). That rule did not, 

however, define the criteria to be used 

for determining whether a tree is an 

‘‘actual den tree.’’ We interpret that 

regulatory language to extend protection 

to den trees as long as bear usage is 

determinable (i.e., it is recognizable by 

visual observation of the subject tree, or 

was known to be used in previous 

denning seasons), such that those trees 

are protected even when bears are not 

actively using them. We determine bear 

use of a den tree by visual or audible 

confirmation (if it is actively being 

used), telemetry data, and the presence 

of bear claw marks. 

(9) Comment: One peer reviewer 

questioned the portion of our critical 

habitat designation strategy that 

involves maintaining the viability of 

existing populations, stating that he 

does not believe that existing 

populations have been proven viable. 

Our Response: We concur that 

existing populations have not been 

proven to have long-term (i.e. , 100 years 

or more) viability. All known breeding 

populations of Louisiana black bears 

that were present at the time of listing, 

however, continue to exist more than 15 

years later. Population estimates for 

Louisiana black bears at the time of 

listing appear to be lower than what 

recent research would indicate, and 

there is circumstantial evidence that the 

population is growing (LDWF 2007, p. 

22). Therefore, we consider these 

populations to be viable (at least in the 

near term) for planning purposes related 

to habitat restoration and corridor 

establishment. 

(10) Comment: One peer reviewer 

questioned the application of habitat 

requirements for the TRNWR subgroup, 

which benefits from extensive access to 

adjacent agricultural fields, to the Upper 

and Lower Atchafalaya River Basin 

(ARB) (Critical Habitat Units 2 and 3) 

populations, which have less 

opportunity to forage on agricultural 

crops. He asserted that due to 

agricultural crop availability and use by 

the TRNWR subgroup, a greater land 

base may be necessary for the two ARB 

populations to compensate for the lack 

of available agriculture. 

Our Response: We agree that the 

TRNWR subgroup is situated in an area 

that provides greater access to 

agricultural crops with higher 

nutritional value (e.g., corn, wheat, and 

soybeans) than the crops that are 

available for the two ARB populations. 

The Deltic Timber area in the northern 

portion of the Tensas River Basin 

(Critical Habitat Unit 1) is a highly 

fragmented system of isolated forested 

tracts interspersed within an expansive 

agricultural landscape. Agricultural 

crops used by bears in this area is well 

documented and occurs at greater rates 

than for any other subgroup or 

population of Louisiana black bears. It 

should be noted, however, that even 

within this TRNWR subgroup, 

agricultural crops used by bears varies 

greatly by season and natural foods 

comprise most of the diet (by volume) 

for half of the year (Anderson 1997, p. 

53). We believe that bears in both ARB 

populations also have access to, and 

will forage on, agricultural crops in their 

vicinity. Because sugarcane is the most 

commonly grown crop in this region, 

bears in these populations likely benefit 

less from the use of adjacent agriculture 

than bears in the TRNWR subgroup. 

Accordingly, we incorporated more 

PCE-definitional habitat into our critical 

habitat boundary (423,170 ac (171,251 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 45 / Tuesday, March 10, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 10353 

ha) total for Units 2 and 3) for the two 

ARB populations than is currently 

inhabited by bears in the TRNWR 

subgroup (141,868 ac (57, 412 ha)). As 

explained in our proposal to designate 

critical habitat (73 FR 25354, pp. 25364– 

25365), because the TRNWR subgroup 

sustains itself throughout much of the 

year primarily on habitats containing 

the PCEs, and that subgroup is viable, 

based on the results of population 

viability analyses, that subgroup was 

used as a model to evaluate the 

minimum habitat requirements for 

maintenance of long-term population 

viability. 

(11) Comment: One peer reviewer 

stated that the shared boundary (i.e., the 

corridor) between Units 2 and 3 seems 

relatively constricted and may not be 

adequate to ensure long-term 

connectivity and dispersal across those 

two units. 

Our Response: We have reassessed the 

landscape along the southern boundary 

of Unit 2 and the northern boundary of 

Unit 3 relative to potential travel 

corridors for bears. As explained in the 

Methods section of this document, 

increasing the unit width in this region 

would incorporate primarily 

agricultural fields and urban 

development, and virtually no 

additional forested habitat. Accordingly, 

the shared boundary of these two units 

has not been modified from our original 

proposal. 

(12) Comment: One peer reviewer had 

several questions regarding the use of 

the terms ‘‘occupied at time of listing’’ 

and ‘‘currently occupied’’ and the basis 

for critical habitat designation only in 

habitat that was occupied at the time of 

listing. Also, one public commenter 

expressed similar concerns. 

Our Response: Louisiana black bear 

resource managers have commonly used 

the term ‘‘occupied’’ habitat to indicate 

areas with physical evidence of 

reproduction (e.g., young, females with 

young, or lactating females). Critical 

habitat is defined in section 3 of the Act 

in part as 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) which may require 

special management considerations or 

protection. Therefore, for critical habitat 

designation, we use the term 

‘‘occupied’’ in a less restrictive sense to 

indicate the subspecies’ presence in an 

area without regard to reproductive 

information (i.e., the transient or 

permanent presence of male or female 

bears). In order to avoid confusion, we 

use the term ‘‘breeding areas’’ or 

‘‘breeding habitat’’ in this document to 

refer to areas with physical evidence of 

reproduction. We inadvertently used the 

term ‘‘currently occupied’’ once in the 

proposal when we should have used the 

term ‘‘current breeding habitat.’’ We 

have noted this error and revised our 

text. 

Under the Act and its implementing 

regulations (50 CFR 424.12(e)), we can 

designate critical habitat in areas 

outside of the geographical area 

occupied by the species at the time it is 

listed only when (1) the inclusion of 

specific areas occupied at the time of 

listing defined by the essential physical 

and biological features are not sufficient 

to conserve the species and (2) we 

determine that those areas outside the 

geographical area occupied by the 

species are essential for the 

conservation of the species. In preparing 

this final critical habitat designation, we 

did not find any areas outside of the 

geographical area occupied by the 

Louisiana black bear at the time of 

listing that are essential for the 

conservation of the subspecies, and we 

believe the specific areas included in 

this designation are sufficient to 

conserve the subspecies; therefore, we 

are not designating areas outside of the 

geographical area occupied by the 

subspecies. 

(13) Comment: One peer reviewer 

stated that coastal habitat is not superior 

habitat but that the small number of 

data points and bear use of garbage for 

food may have affected those estimates. 

Our Response: That statement 

referenced a speculation made by 

researchers over 10 years ago (Wagner 

1995, p. 25). We agree that the 

knowledge we have gained about the 

coastal population indicates the 

commenter is correct, and we have 

included that in our discussion. 

(14) Comment: One peer reviewer 

requested additional information on 

how we will evaluate the cumulative 

effects of critical habitat alteration. 

Our Response: Critical habitat 

receives protection under section 7 of 

the Act through the prohibition against 

Federal agencies carrying out, funding, 

or authorizing the destruction or 

adverse modification of critical habitat. 

Section 7 of the Act requires 

consultation on Federal actions that 

may affect critical habitat. Under section 

7 of the Act, the Federal action agency 

must provide an analysis of cumulative 

effects, along with other information, 

when requesting formal consultation. 

The Service is required to consider 

cumulative effects of a proposed action 

in formulating our biological opinion. 

Under the provisions of the Act, we 

determine destruction or adverse 

modification on the basis of 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. 

(15) Comment: One peer reviewer 

stated that, through the coordinated 

efforts of Federal, State, and private 

groups, remarkable progress in the 

protection and restoration of black bear 

habitat has been achieved in Louisiana 

in the past 10 years and was achieved 

without the benefit of critical habitat 

designation. The commenter wished to 

congratulate all those involved. 

Our Response: We agree that the 

progress made in Louisiana black bear 

habitat protection and restoration is 

noteworthy. We estimate that about 

600,000 ac (240,000 ha) of land have 

been restored or protected in the bear’s 

range since it was listed in January 

1992. This includes lands that have 

been purchased by State and Federal 

agencies, public and private lands 

protected from development, and 

privately owned lands where bear 

habitat has been restored. All this was 

accomplished through the voluntary 

participation of many partners, such as 

the NRCS and other Federal agencies, 

State agencies in Louisiana and 

Mississippi, the Black Bear 

Conservation Committee (BBCC), the 

Louisiana Forestry Association, 

universities, and private citizens. We 

believe that designation of critical 

habitat will provide benefits in addition 

to those provided through private 

landowner incentive and conservation 

programs, and will further conservation 

of this subspecies. 

(16) Comment: Two peer reviewers 

stated that critical habitat designation 

has the potential to diminish landowner 

support for conservation activities 

benefitting the Louisiana black bear. 

One suggested that we precede critical 

habitat designation with a public 

education campaign. 

Our Response: We agree that negative 

perceptions associated with critical 

habitat designations could potentially 

alienate the private landowners that 

have been, and continue to be, so vital 

in the Louisiana black bear recovery. As 

we discuss in the ‘‘State Comments’’ 

section and in the ‘‘Benefits of 

Inclusion’’ section of this rule, we 

continue to recognize that designating 

critical habitat in areas where we have 

partnerships with private landowners 

that have led to conservation or 

management of listed species may 

impact landowners and future 

partnerships and conservation efforts. 

10354 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 45 / Tuesday, March 10, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 

Therefore, we have excluded private 

lands enrolled in the WRP under 

permanent conservation easements from 

critical habitat designation. 

Furthermore, lands that currently do not 

contain the physical and biological 

features essential to the conservation of 

the Louisiana black bear do not meet the 

definition of critical habitat and are not 

designated as critical habitat, nor would 

they be considered to be such if they 

were restored, or allowed to naturally 

regenerate, to forested habitat 

subsequent to this designation. 

We also agree that public education 

regarding critical habitat is important. 

From the beginning of this designation 

process, we have made efforts to inform 

the public (landowners and public 

agencies) about critical habitat and the 

designation process through 

newspapers, fact sheets, and informal 

meetings. We are committed to 

continuing public education about the 

Louisiana black bear and its critical 

habitat. 

(17) Comment: Two reviewers stated 

that our approach was logical and 

reasonable. One commenter indicated 

that we had thoroughly reviewed and 

appropriately interpreted the most 

recent scientific literature. One 

commenter indicated that we had 

designated sufficient quantity and 

quality in a way that encompassed all 

breeding populations and all primary 

constituent elements. 

Our Response: We appreciate the peer 

reviewers’ positive evaluation of the 

biological and scientific basis for our 

critical habitat determination. 

(18) Comment: One commenter 

provided suggestions on the consistent 

use of terms, citations, and other 

grammatical inconsistencies. 

Our Response: We have made those 

corrections where appropriate and 

necessary in this designation. 

(19) Comment: One peer reviewer 

stated that he did not consider a density 

of one bear per 686 ac (278 ha) as low 

(even in the southeastern United States) 

and that, while this density is low when 

compared to densities on the nearby 

Deltic lands, it was more likely slightly 

higher than average across the 

Southeast. 

Our Response: We agree and have 

made this correction. 

(20) Comment: One peer reviewer 

requested clarification on the methods 

we would use to determine the presence 

of a breeding population in Mississippi. 

Our Response: There have been only 

three documented occurrences of 

successful reproduction of Louisiana 

black bears in Mississippi (Ginger et al. 

2007, p. 34); there is no overlap in the 

home ranges of the three female bears 

that produced those litters. Based on our 

analysis of over 15 years of Louisiana 

black bear research and telemetry data, 

we have concluded that an isolated 

female bear (though she may 

occasionally produce a litter of cubs) 

does not constitute a breeding 

population. We have determined that a 

breeding population must consist of at 

least five adult females that are known 

to have successfully reproduced and 

that have overlapping home ranges. 

Evaluation of existing telemetry data 

indicates that habitats used by fewer 

than five adult females serve as 

temporary residences during atypical 

patterns of dispersal (i.e., movement 

patterns that are most often observed in 

bears translocated during reintroduction 

programs). 

(21) Comment: One peer reviewer 

questioned why it might be desirable to 

exclude WRP lands enrolled under a 

permanent easement. 

Our Response: Due to the level of 

protection from development afforded 

these lands, and the potential that 

negative perceptions associated with 

critical habitat designations could 

potentially alienate the private 

landowners that have been so vital to 

the Louisiana black bear recovery, we 

have determined that the benefits of 

exclusion outweigh the benefits of 

inclusion for lands enrolled under 

permanent easements in the WRP. In 

addition, we believe that this 

determination will not result in the 

extinction of the Louisiana black bear. 

Please refer to the ‘‘Benefits of 

Exclusion’’ section of this rule for 

further information. 

Comments From States 

Section 4(i) of the Act states ‘‘the 

Secretary shall submit to the State 

agency a written justification for his 

failure to adopt regulation consistent 

with the agency’s comments or 

petition.’’ Comments received from 

State agencies regarding the proposal to 

designate critical habitat for the 

Louisiana black bear are addressed 

below. 

(22) State Comment: The Louisiana 

Department of Wildlife and Fisheries 

(LDWF) stated that critical habitat 

designation is not necessary for the 

successful restoration of the black bear 

in Louisiana. 

Our Response: According to section 

4(a)(3) of the Act, the Service is required 

to designate critical habitat for 

threatened and endangered species to 

the maximum extent prudent and 

determinable. Also, as a result of a 

lawsuit filed by Harold Schoeffler and 

Louisiana Crawfish Producers-West, we 

were ordered by the court to designate 

critical habitat, if prudent, for the 

Louisiana black bear. We have already 

determined that designation of critical 

habitat is prudent (May 6, 2008, 73 FR 

25354). Therefore, we must designate 

critical habitat to fulfill those statutory 

and legal obligations. 

(23) State Comment: The LDWF stated 

that critical habitat designation for the 

Louisiana black bear has the potential to 

alienate private landowners who have 

habitat upon which the bear depends. 

They furthermore indicated that a 

cooperative relationship is necessary 

with those landowners in order to 

collect data and accomplish habitat 

restoration needed for delisting. 

Our Response: We agree with the 

LDWF that negative perceptions 

associated with critical habitat 

designations could potentially alienate 

the private landowners that have been 

and continue to be so vital to the 

Louisiana black bear recovery. We also 

recognize that the significant strides 

made in habitat restoration for this 

subspecies are in large part due to 

conservation actions taken by private 

landowners and will continue to be 

needed to conserve this subspecies. As 

we discuss in the ‘‘Benefits of 

Inclusion’’ section of this rule, we 

continue to recognize that designating 

critical habitat in areas where we have 

partnerships with private landowners 

that have led to conservation or 

management of listed species may 

impact landowners and future 

partnerships and conservation efforts. 

Therefore, we have excluded private 

lands enrolled under permanent 

conservation easements in the WRP 

from critical habitat designation. 

Furthermore, lands that currently do not 

contain features essential for the 

Louisiana black bear’s conservation do 

not meet the definition of critical habitat 

and are not designated as critical 

habitat, nor would they be considered to 

be such if they were restored, or allowed 

to naturally regenerate, to forested 

habitat subsequent to this designation. 

We continue to be committed to 

working on habitat restoration with 

private landowners in the future. See 

our response to Comment 16 above. 

(24) State Comment: The LDWF and 

several other commenters stated strong 

support for exempting lands enrolled in 

the NRCS’ WRP program from critical 

habitat designation. They also requested 

that we consider exemptions for other 

Federal conservation assistance 

programs including the NRCS’ 

Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), 

the Conservation Reserve Enhancement 

Program (CREP), and the Wildlife 

Habitat Incentive Program (WHIP). 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 45 / Tuesday, March 10, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 10355 

Our Response: Under section 4(b)(2) 

of the Act, 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, 

and determine whether the benefits of 

exclusion outweigh the benefits of 

inclusion. If, based on this analysis, we 

make the determination that the benefits 

of exclusion outweigh the benefits of 

inclusion, then we can exclude the area 

only if such exclusion would not result 

in the extinction of the species. 

In the case of lands enrolled under a 

permanent easement in the WRP, those 

easement restrictions provide 

substantial protection and management 

for the Louisiana black bear and its 

essential habitat features in contrast to 

the designation of critical habitat, which 

only precludes destruction or adverse 

modification. We have determined that 

the benefits of exclusion outweigh the 

benefits of inclusion for lands enrolled 

under permanent easements in the 

WRP. In addition, we believe that this 

determination will not result in the 

extinction of the Louisiana black bear. 

Please refer to the ‘‘Exclusions Under 

Section 4(b)(2) of the Act’’ section of 

this rule, as well as responses to 

Comments 16 and 23, for further 

information. 

We share the LDWF’s concern and 

acknowledge the benefits that other 

private landowner incentive and 

conservation programs (i.e., CRP, CREP, 

WHIP) offer for the Louisiana black bear 

and other wildlife. However, 

landowners who enroll in those 

programs are not bound by an easement 

that permanently prohibits development 

or conversion of those lands. Instead, 

landowners sign an agreement 

(generally 10 to 15 years in duration) 

and at the end of that agreement those 

properties may be converted to another 

use. In those instances, the protection 

provided to those lands is not 

significantly different from that 

provided via critical habitat under 

section 7 of the Act (i.e., protection from 

adverse modification or destruction). 

Therefore, while we believe that 

excluding lands enrolled in those 

conservation agreements may provide 

benefits in terms of maintaining 

landowner cooperation, we have 

determined not to exclude them from 

this critical habitat designation. 

We recognize that critical habitat 

designated at a particular point in time 

may not include all of the habitat areas 

that we may later determine are 

necessary for the recovery of the 

species. For these reasons, a critical 

habitat designation does not signal that 

habitat outside the designated area is 

unimportant or may not promote the 

recovery of the species. We continue to 

be committed to working on habitat 

restoration with private landowners in 

the future. 

(25) State Comment: The LDWF 

expressed agreement with the proposed 

critical habitat geographic boundaries. 

The LDWF also indicated that those 

boundaries are consistent with the most 

current LDWF telemetry, research, and 

habitat data. In addition, the agency 

stated that while bear sightings may 

occur throughout Louisiana, the 

proposed critical habitat protects the 

core breeding populations and the 

highest quality bear habitat. 

Our Response: We appreciate the 

LDWF’s positive evaluation of the 

biological and scientific basis for our 

critical habitat determination. 

Public Comments 

(26) Comment: One commenter stated 

that he believed the Louisiana black 

bear population to be between 500 and 

700 bears. 

Our Response: Current Louisiana 

black bear population estimates vary 

somewhat among the professional 

community, primarily due to the lack of 

a reliable and comprehensive estimate. 

We used every published population 

estimate available (Beausoliel 1999, p. 

51; Boerson et al. 2003, p. 203; Pelton 

and Van Manen 1997, p. 38; Triant et al. 

2004, p. 653) to support our estimated 

current population size of 400 to 700 

bears. A more comprehensive 

population study is currently being 

conducted, but will not be finalized 

prior to the court-ordered deadline for 

publication of this critical habitat 

designation. 

(27) Comment: One commenter stated 

that a map published by the BBCC in 

2006 indicated that bears had been 

observed in virtually every Louisiana 

parish. That commenter also discussed 

potential critical habitat designation in 

specific areas based on anecdotal 

sighting information from locations 

throughout Louisiana and in portions of 

Arkansas and Mississippi. 

Our Response: We acknowledge that 

bears have been observed throughout 

Louisiana and in portions of its 

neighboring States. Included in those 

sightings are confirmed Louisiana black 

bear occurrences in relatively major 

urban areas such as Abbeville, Bossier 

City, Crowley, Lafayette, and New 

Iberia. Current breeding habitat and 

corridors linking breeding areas were 

paramount in the delineation of this 

critical habitat designation. We do not 

have data to show that these specific 

bear sightings suggested by the 

commenter, in portions of Louisiana, 

Arkansas, and Mississippi, are part of a 

resident population, within current 

breeding habitat, or within a suitable 

travel corridor that would warrant 

designation as critical habitat. 

Therefore, we have not included these 

areas in our designation of critical 

habitat. 

(28) Comment: One commenter briefly 

described the significance of corridors, 

expressed concern regarding our 

designation of corridors that only link 

existing populations, and stated that 

additional corridors in other areas 

should be considered. Several suggested 

potential corridors were described, 

including those that would link: (1) 

Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge 

(NWR) in south Arkansas to the Upper 

Ouachita NWR in north Louisiana; (2) 

the Gulf of Mexico to the Town of 

Bogalusa in Louisiana, which would 

include the Pearl River and Old River 

Wildlife Management Areas (WMA) and 

the Bogue Chitto NWR; (3) Cat Island 

NWR and Tunica Hills WMA to St. 

Catherine Creek NWR in Mississippi; 

and (4) east-central Louisiana (i.e., 

Lasalle and Rapides Parish) to Texas via 

the Red River Alluvial Plain 

(incorporating various State WMAs and 

U.S. Forest Service parcels). 

Our Response: We concur that 

corridors perform a significant role in 

the conservation of the Louisiana black 

bear. Accordingly, we have designated 

corridors between all known breeding 

populations of the Louisiana black bear. 

We also acknowledge that anecdotal 

Louisiana black bear sighting 

information exists for various locations 

throughout Louisiana and in portions of 

its neighboring States. As previously 

explained, such sightings are not always 

evidence of a resident population or of 

an important (or even suitable) travel 

corridor that would warrant designation 

as critical habitat. Accordingly, we do 

not believe that the designation of 

Felsenthal NWR and the Upper 

Ouachita NWR, including a corridor 

linkage, would further the conservation 

of the Louisiana black bear. Since 2000, 

over 100 bears (including both adult 

females and cubs) have been captured 

on White River NWR and neighboring 

lands and reintroduced to Felsenthal 

NWR. Those bears, however, are not 

considered Louisiana black bears; 

therefore, the regulations implementing 

the Act and associated critical habitat 

designations would not apply to that 

population or to Felsenthal NWR. There 

have been occasional bear sightings on 

the Upper Ouachita NWR, which have 

increased since the initiation of the 

Felsenthal NWR black bear 

reintroduction program (USFWS 2008, 

10356 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 45 / Tuesday, March 10, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 

pp. 48–50); however, we do not have 

any evidence of a breeding population 

on Upper Ouachita NWR. Consequently, 

we do not believe that there is 

justification to warrant designation of 

Felsenthal NWR (with a non-U. a. 

luteolus population), Upper Ouachita 

NWR (with no population), or a corridor 

linkage between those properties. 

Although bear sightings are 

occasionally reported in the Pearl River 

Basin between the Gulf of Mexico to the 

Town of Bogalusa, there is no 

documented evidence of reproduction 

of Louisiana black bears occurring east 

of the Mississippi River in Louisiana. 

Very few bear studies have been 

conducted east of the Mississippi River 

in Louisiana due to the extremely low 

density of bears in this region. We are 

aware of just one such study, where 

only one confirmed bear occurrence was 

documented during a 5-month study 

involving 70 bait stations (Stinson 1996, 

p. 12). In addition to the Pearl River 

Basin not supporting a breeding 

population, it does not form a logical 

corridor between any known 

populations of Louisiana black bears. 

Accordingly, we have determined that 

this area does not contain the features 

essential to the conservation of the 

subspecies; therefore, it was not 

included within our critical habitat 

boundary. 

Cat Island NWR and Tunica Hills 

WMA occur within, and St. Catherine 

Creek NWR occurs immediately north 

of, the Stinson (1996, p. 13) study area. 

As described above, that study 

confirmed speculations that this region 

supports very few bears. Louisiana black 

bear reproduction has not been 

documented on any of these lands, and 

establishing a corridor between them 

would serve little, if any, function for 

bear conservation. Therefore, we have 

determined that this area does not 

contain the features essential to the 

conservation of the subspecies, and it 

was not included within our critical 

habitat boundary. 

Although occasional sightings are 

reported, there is no evidence that 

Louisiana black bears travel the Red 

River Alluvial Plain between eastcentral Louisiana (i.e., Lasalle and 

Rapides Parish) and Texas with any 

frequency. There is also no data to 

support classification of any areas 

within this region as Louisiana black 

bear breeding habitat. 

In summary, as stated above, current 

breeding habitat was paramount in this 

delineation of critical habitat, and was 

based on known locations and home 

ranges of reproductive females. 

Corridors linking those core breeding 

areas were also designated based on the 

best available science (primarily 

telemetry studies) and extensive 

landscape-level habitat analyses which 

are described in the Methods section of 

our previous proposal May 6, 2008, (73 

FR 25354, pp. 25359) and in this Final 

Rule. 

(29) Comment: Several commenters 

suggested that we evaluate the effect of 

major highways on Louisiana black bear 

dispersal and habitat access. Specific 

reference was made regarding U.S. 

Highway 90 (Hwy. 90) in St. Mary 

Parish, Louisiana and U.S. Interstate 20 

(I–20) in Madison Parish, Louisiana, and 

their apparent lack of permeability for 

bear movement. 

Our Response: We concur that Hwy. 

90 and I–20 are major obstacles to intraand inter-population bear movement. 

Over the last several years, we have 

organized numerous site inspections 

and meetings involving biologists from 

both the National Wildlife Refuge 

System and the Ecological Services 

Divisions of the Service, the LDWF, the 

Louisiana Department of Transportation 

and Development, the Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), private 

environmental and engineering firms, 

and the BBCC to address issues with 

highway-associated impacts to bears. 

We have completed a biological opinion 

on the effects of a proposed upgrade of 

Hwy. 90 to interstate specifications on 

the Louisiana black bear, which 

included a conservation 

recommendation that the FHWA 

‘‘install large mammal/bear crossings at 

suitable locations along the subject 

reach of Hwy. 90.’’ With the assistance 

of the BBCC, private corporations, and 

major local landowners, we are 

currently developing a large-scale 

habitat restoration and protection plan 

to address both habitat issues and 

highway-associated limitations on bear 

conservation in this region of the State. 

We have designed similar plans along I– 

20, most of which have been 

successfully implemented, primarily 

through the designation of a WRP 

Special Project Area. Although I–20 in 

Madison Parish has numerous large 

bridges over river and stream crossings 

that allow safe passage for bears, we 

have developed and implemented plans 

to further improve the permeability of 

that roadway for bears. The current 

critical habitat boundary crosses both of 

the subject roadways (in addition to 

many others), and we believe that it 

fully reflects our planning and 

conservation efforts and is consistent 

with these commenters’ requests. 

(30) Comment: One commenter stated 

that a single corridor or series of habitat 

linkages through the Mississippi River 

Delta and the ARB may not be adequate 

for Louisiana black bear conservation. 

Our Response: We determined that 

designating all Louisiana black bear 

breeding habitat, including corridors 

that link those habitats, would be 

sufficient to ensure the conservation of 

this subspecies. Currently, all Louisiana 

black bear breeding populations occur 

along the Atchafalaya and Lower 

Mississippi River Alluvial Valleys, as 

reflected in our critical habitat boundary 

and delineation of corridors. We concur 

with this commenter’s general position 

that a single habitat linkage would be 

insufficient for Louisiana black bear 

conservation purposes. For that reason, 

we delineated corridors to provide 

sufficient width to incorporate 

numerous potential travel and habitat 

linkages (e.g., small forested patches 

and riparian zones along streams, 

sloughs, and bayous) between each of 

the existing breeding populations. 

(31) Comment: One commenter 

recommended modifications to the 

Louisiana Black Bear Recovery Plan 

including revisions to estimated 

population increases and home range 

sizes based on Taylor’s (1971) estimate 

for the Upper ARB population. The 

commenter also suggested several 

specific changes to our critical habitat 

boundary in the context of that Plan. 

Our Response: Louisiana black bear 

population and home range sizes were 

determined on a population-specific 

basis from the most recent available 

scientific studies (Anderson 1997, p. 37; 

Beausoliel 1999, pp. 51, 57, 60; Boerson 

et al. 2003, p. 203; Marchinton 1995, p. 

31; Pelton and Van Manen 1997, p. 38; 

Triant et al. 2004, p. 653; Wagner 1995, 

p. 12; Weaver 1999, p. 70). We will 

consider recommended modifications to 

the Louisiana Black Bear Recovery Plan 

when it is updated. We assume that the 

commenter intends for us to address 

critical habitat suggestions in this final 

rule rather than in a revised recovery 

plan. Accordingly, recommendations 

related specifically to critical habitat are 

addressed throughout the Public 

Comments section of this document. 

(32) Comment: Two commenters 

expressed concern about the effects of 

global climate change and resultant sea 

level rise on the long-term viability of 

the Lower ARB population and of the 

corridor that connects the Lower and 

Upper ARB populations of Louisiana 

black bear. 

Our Response: Our critical habitat 

designation includes the hardwood 

forests on three south Louisiana salt 

domes (i.e., Avery Island, Weeks Island, 

and Belle Isle). The elevations of those 

domes far exceed the surrounding 

landscape, with a maximum elevation 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 45 / Tuesday, March 10, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 10357 

found on Avery Island at 152 feet (ft) (46 

meters (m)) above sea level. Within 

Critical Habitat Unit 3, we have also 

included hardwood forests that are 

flood-protected by levees and pumps to 

provide a suitable travel and habitat 

linkage to higher-elevation habitats to 

the north. Within this unit, we have 

designated a relatively large corridor 

that is, to the best of our mapping 

capabilities, comprised of habitat 

containing the PCEs. We used the best 

available science (described in detail in 

the Methods section of this document) 

to delineate that corridor in a manner 

that would facilitate bear movement 

between the Lower ARB and higherelevation habitats of the Upper ARB 

population. We will continue our 

negotiations with the Louisiana 

Department of Transportation and 

Development (LDOTD) and FHWA 

regarding highway crossings for bears 

on Hwy. 90 along the subject corridor 

(previously described in detail). We will 

also continue our participation in the 

development of a large-scale habitat 

restoration and protection plan to 

address both habitat issues and 

highway-associated limitations on bear 

conservation in the Lower ARB, which 

will ensure that the subject corridor can 

fully support dispersal from expanding 

bear populations and the northward 

migration of bears that may leave coastal 

habitats rendered unsuitable by sea 

level rise. We believe that delineating 

this critical habitat boundary to include 

higher-elevation salt dome forests, 

flood-protected forests, and a corridor 

that provides northward dispersal 

opportunities, in conjunction with our 

continued efforts to resolve highwayassociated limitations to bear dispersal 

(including our participation in 

landscape-level habitat restoration and 

protection planning), is sufficient to 

address conservation challenges for the 

Louisiana black bear. 

(33) Comment: One commenter 

recommended that we designate critical 

habitat in all areas that support breeding 

populations and that we include habitat 

linkages between those populations. 

Our Response: We concur and 

appreciate this validation of our critical 

habitat designation strategy, which is to 

include all areas that contain features 

essential to the conservation of the 

Louisiana black bear. We have 

determined that such areas include 

breeding habitat with connecting 

corridors, and, in accordance with this 

recommendation, we have included all 

such areas in our designation. 

(34) Comment: One commenter stated 

that we are proposing to designate 

critical habitat on too small a portion of 

the Louisiana black bear’s present range 

and that we should be allowed to 

designate critical habitat beyond areas 

where the subspecies is currently 

secure. 

Our Response: We are unsure what 

the commenter means by the term 

‘‘where populations are secure.’’ 

However, for inclusion in a critical 

habitat designation, the habitat within 

the geographical area occupied by the 

species at the time of listing must 

contain the physical and biological 

features that are essential to the 

conservation of the species and that may 

require special management 

consideration or protection. Under the 

Act, we can designate critical habitat in 

areas outside of the geographical area 

occupied by the species at the time it is 

listed only when (1) the inclusion of 

specific areas occupied at the time of 

listing defined by the essential physical 

and biological features are not sufficient 

to conserve the species; and (2) we 

determine that those areas are essential 

for the conservation of the species. 

As stated above, current breeding 

habitat was paramount in this 

designation, and was based on known 

locations and home ranges of 

reproductive females. We are also 

designating corridors linking those core 

breeding areas based on the best 

available science (primarily telemetry 

studies) and extensive landscape-level 

habitat analyses, which are described in 

the Methods section of our previous 

proposal (May 6, 2008, 73 FR 25354, pp. 

25359) and in this final rule. We 

determined that those areas are 

sufficient for the conservation of this 

subspecies. 

(35) Comment: One commenter 

recommended that we reconsider our 

reduction of the 1993 Louisiana black 

bear critical habitat determination and 

our exclusion of the eastern portion of 

the ARB. 

Our Response: We withdrew our 1993 

proposal to designate Louisiana black 

bear critical habitat (58 FR 63560) 

concurrently with the publication of our 

new proposal in 2008 (73 FR 25354). In 

that latter proposal, we explained that 

the withdrawal was not only to comply 

with a court order, but to consider the 

significant amount of new information 

available on this subspecies and its 

habitat since the initial proposal 

published over 15 years ago. At the time 

of the initial critical habitat proposal, 

the resultant boundary was based on 

information (both biological and 

geographical) that was limited and 

primarily unpublished and anecdotal in 

nature. The current critical habitat 

boundary is based on numerous 

published studies including those by 

Anderson (1997), Beausoliel (1999), 

Benson (2005), Boerson et al. (2003), 

Hightower et al. (2002), Marchinton 

(1995), Pelton and Van Manen (1997), 

Stinson (1996), Triant et al. (2004), Van 

Why (2003), Wagner (1995), and Weaver 

(1999). Those studies have provided 

new insight into Louisiana black bear 

biology and ecology that was not 

available for our 1993 proposal. 

Therefore, to use the 1993 critical 

habitat boundary as a basis for our 

current designation would not be 

incorporating the best available 

scientific and commercial information. 

Our current boundary includes portions, 

but not all, of the areas proposed in 

1993; it also includes additional areas 

beyond those that were initially 

proposed. This is an entirely new 

designation, developed independently 

of the 1993 proposal, and it is based on 

sound scientific findings that were 

unavailable in 1993. We followed these 

same principles in our delineation of 

the boundary through the ARB. We also 

employed new elevation data and 

digital mapping technologies (described 

in detail in the ‘‘Criteria Used to 

Designate Critical Habitat’’ section of 

this document) to determine areas 

within the ARB that are most likely to 

facilitate bear movement between the 

Upper and Lower ARB populations. Our 

boundary through the ARB does not 

include all possible areas that a bear 

could travel. It includes lands that, 

based on recent scientific findings and 

the latest mapping technologies, contain 

the features essential for the 

conservation of the subspecies. 

(36) Comment: One commenter 

recommended that we designate critical 

habitat in Mississippi, due to recently 

documented evidence of reproduction, 

and in Texas, due to reported sightings 

and the area’s position within the 

historic range of the Louisiana black 

bear. 

Our Response: As described in our 

response to Comment 20, we have 

determined that Mississippi does not 

support breeding populations of the 

Louisiana black bear. (The ‘‘Criteria 

Used to Designate Critical Habitat’’ 

section provides additional details 

regarding the classification of breeding 

habitat.) 

We acknowledge that Louisiana black 

bear sightings have been reported 

throughout Louisiana and in portions of 

its neighboring States including eastern 

Texas. As previously explained, such 

sightings are not always evidence of a 

resident population or of an important 

(or even suitable) travel corridor that 

would warrant designation as critical 

habitat. Since its listing as a threatened 

subspecies in 1992, there has been no 

10358 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 45 / Tuesday, March 10, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 

documented evidence of Louisiana 

black bear reproduction in Texas. 

(37) Comment: Two commenters 

specifically requested that lands 500 ft 

(152 m) from the top of the top bank of 

the Tensas River and lands within 1,000 

ft (305 m) of the land-side toe of the 

Mississippi River mainline levees be 

excluded because of future maintenance 

requirements. 

Our Response: The commenters did 

not provide sufficient information for us 

to evaluate the benefits of exclusion of 

those areas. Therefore, based on 

analysis, the protection provided to 

those lands is not significantly different 

from that provided via critical habitat 

under section 7 of the Act (i.e., 

protection from adverse modification or 

destruction). Therefore, we have not 

excluded those lands from critical 

habitat designation for the Louisiana 

black bear. 

(38) Comment: Numerous 

commenters, including both private and 

governmental entities, expressed 

opposition to the designation of critical 

habitat for the Louisiana black bear. 

Another commenter stated that we had 

exaggerated potential habitat losses in 

making our decision. He also stated his 

belief that the designation of critical 

habitat for the Louisiana black bear was 

about compliance with the courts and 

control over land resources and not 

based on science or the needs of the 

bear. Other commenters questioned the 

need for critical habitat based on 

increased bear sightings and encounters. 

Our Response: According to section 

4(a)(3) of the Act, the Service is required 

to designate critical habitat for 

threatened and endangered species to 

the maximum extent prudent and 

determinable. As a result of a lawsuit 

filed by Harold Schoeffler and Louisiana 

Crawfish Producers—West, we were 

issued a September 5, 2007, order from 

the U.S. District Court for the Western 

District of Louisiana to: (1) Withdraw 

the December 2, 1993, proposed rule 

and submit a new prudency 

determination and, if prudent, a new 

proposed critical habitat designation to 

the Federal Register by April 26, 2008; 

and (2) submit a final critical habitat 

determination, if prudent, to the Federal 

Register by February 26, 2009. As set 

forth in the proposed rule, in fulfilling 

the Court’s order, we found that critical 

habitat was prudent and determinable 

and that designation was prudent (73 FR 

25354). 

Furthermore, section 4 of the Act 

requires that we designate critical 

habitat on the basis of the best scientific 

and commercial data available. Further, 

our Policy on Information Standards 

Under the Endangered Species Act, 

published in the Federal Register on 

July 1, 1994 (59 FR 34271), the 

Information Quality Act (section 515 of 

the Treasury and General Government 

Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2001 

(Pub. L. 106–554; H.R. 5658)), and our 

associated Information Quality 

Guidelines provide criteria, establish 

procedures, and provide guidance to 

ensure that our decisions represent the 

best scientific data available. They 

require our 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. 

In preparing this final critical habitat 

designation for the Louisiana black bear, 

we reviewed and considered comments 

from the public and peer reviewers on 

the May 6, 2008, proposed designation 

of critical habitat (73 FR 25354) and the 

November 12, 2008, draft economic 

analysis (73 FR 66831). We also 

reviewed the most recent data for land 

ownership and habitat types and 

reevaluated the information and data 

used in our previous proposal. 

(39) Comment: One commenter 

pointed out that we listed WRP 

enrollment as 55,000 ac (22,000 ha) 

while over 219,459 ac (88,811 ha) of 

land in Louisiana have been enrolled in 

the WRP program. 

Our Response: We agree that over 

200,000 ac (81,000 ha) have been 

enrolled in the WRP program Statewide. 

The 55,000 ac (22,000 ha) we reference 

represent the approximate amount of 

land enrolled in the WRP within the 

proposed critical habitat boundary only. 

(40) Comment: Two commenters 

expressed concern about potential 

changes to the current forestry 

exemption (provided in the final rule 

listing the Louisiana black bear as a 

threatened subspecies [57 FR 588]), and 

the impact on silvicultural activity 

resulting from Louisiana black bear 

critical habitat designation. 

Our Response: We have not removed 

or modified the forestry exemption as 

written in the final rule listing the 

Louisiana black bear as a threatened 

subspecies (January 7, 1992, 57 FR 588). 

In our May 6, 2008, proposal to 

designate critical habitat, we 

specifically stated that research 

supports our conclusion that normal 

silviculture (i.e., timber management 

that is consistent with the Louisiana 

Recommended Forestry Best 

Management Practices) is compatible 

with Louisiana black bear management; 

therefore, we did not propose any 

changes to that special rule under 

section 4(d) of the Act (at 50 CFR 

17.40[i]) as part of this critical habitat 

designation. It should also be noted that, 

consistent with that special rule, there 

have been no restrictions, nor have there 

been any consultations under the Act, 

involving silvicultural activity and 

potential impacts to Louisiana black 

bears in the 16 years that the subspecies 

has been listed. 

(41) Comment: One commenter stated 

opposition to the exclusion of lands 

enrolled under a permanent 

conservation easement in the WRP for 

several reasons and stated that these 

lands should not be used as a 

justification to curtail critical habitat 

boundaries. That commenter stated that: 

(1) The proposal is not based on an 

honest balancing of the positive and 

negative, and the Service acted illegally 

because it never weighed the benefits of 

designation against the risks of 

designation; (2) the Service cannot use 

exclusions to undermine Congress’ 

established purpose for designating 

critical habitat; (3) excluding WRPs via 

16 U.S.C. 1532(b)(4) is not appropriate 

and case law would not support the 

outcome; (4) the Service presents little 

or no evidence to support its conclusion 

that critical habitat designation is a 

deterrent to WRP enrollment; (5) private 

landowners may not have voluntarily 

enrolled into WRP without possible 

regulatory restrictions; and (6) the 

Service failed to acknowledge that 

landowners receive an incentive, in the 

form of financial support from the 

Federal government, to enroll in this 

program. The commenter urged the 

Service to include privately owned land 

held in conservation easements in our 

critical habitat designation, as these 

lands are not afforded the same level of 

protection as lands within a critical 

habitat designation. 

Our Response: We have conducted a 

review and evaluation of the benefits of 

inclusion and the benefits of exclusion 

of lands enrolled in permanent 

easement under the WRP as critical 

habitat for the Louisiana black bear. We 

also presented the economic benefits 

that landowners who enroll in this 

program receive (approximately $8,000 

per ac ($3,200 per ha)) (Economic 

Analysis, 2008; Exhibit 2–1 and p. 4–3). 

Due to the benefit provided by the level 

of protection from development 

afforded these lands and the potential 

that negative perceptions associated 

with critical habitat designations could 

potentially alienate the private 

landowners that have been so vital to 

continuing Louisiana black bear 

recovery, we have determined that the 

benefits of exclusion outweigh the 

benefits of inclusion for lands enrolled 

under permanent easements in the 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 45 / Tuesday, March 10, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 10359 

WRP. Please see section ‘‘Benefits of 

Exclusion—Permanent Easement 

Wetland Reserve Program Lands’’ for a 

more detailed discussion. Furthermore, 

we have determined that such exclusion 

would not result in the extinction of the 

Louisiana black bear. Please refer to the 

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

Act’’ section of this rule for a more 

detailed discussion. We have not 

excluded any other lands under 

conservation easements. 

(42) Comment: Several commenters 

expressed concern that critical habitat 

designation will require consultation for 

various landowner activities and that as 

a result of those consultations, 

landowner activities will be restricted 

and the Service will ultimately be 

determining what actions would be 

allowed. 

Our Response: Only Federal activities 

that may affect the Louisiana black bear 

or its designated critical habitat require 

consultation under section 7 of the Act. 

Activities on State, Tribal, local, or 

private lands are subject to the section 

7 consultation process only if they have 

a Federal nexus, such as activities 

requiring a Federal permit. 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(a)(2) 

consultations. Please see ‘‘Section 7 

Consultation’’ for a more detailed 

discussion. 

(43) Comment: One commenter 

requested that the Service consider 

possible economic benefits resulting 

from the designation, specifically noting 

potential benefits resulting from flood 

control and wetland conservation. 

Our Response: As discussed in 

section 1.3.3 of the draft economic 

analysis (DEA), the Service believes that 

the direct benefits of the proposed rule 

are best expressed in biological terms 

that can be weighed against the 

expected cost impacts of the 

rulemaking. Where data are available to 

evaluate the ancillary benefits of critical 

habitat designation, the analysis may 

attempt to quantify these benefits (see 

section 1.3.3 of the DEA). 

As noted in section 2.1 of the DEA, 

land use patterns in the areas proposed 

for critical habitat have been and 

continue to be shaped by Federal flood 

control programs in addition to local 

economic factors. Specifically, the DEA 

notes that there are substantial baseline 

factors that provide for conservation of 

wetlands and provide for flood control 

within the proposed critical habitat 

areas. 

The DEA considers whether 

additional changes in land use and 

management, above and beyond 

baseline conditions, would occur as a 

result of designation. For example, the 

DEA considers whether the designation 

would result in modifications to oil and 

gas development activities in the 

context of U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers’ section 404 permitting 

activities (Chapter 3). These potential 

modifications include relocation of drill 

sites and directional drilling, both of 

which could reduce the impact of this 

land use on wetlands. However, the 

extent of wetland impact avoided (e.g., 

amount of area and time period), the 

nature of the avoided impacts, and the 

resultant benefits associated with 

wetland protection, including flood 

control benefits, cannot be forecast 

using best available information. In 

addition, there are no data or models 

that would allow development of a 

forecast of how designation will impact 

the frequency or severity of floods (i.e., 

how land uses will change as a result of 

the designation and how these changes 

would impact flood frequency or 

severity). 

In the case of the Louisiana black 

bear, there have been no previous 

section 7 consultations under the Act 

related to flood control activities. In 

addition, as discussed in section 2.4 of 

the DEA, it is possible that participation 

in voluntary conservation programs will 

decline as a result of critical habitat 

designation, potentially leading to a 

negative impact on wetland 

conservation and flood control. As a 

result of all of these factors, potential 

benefits resulting from enhanced flood 

control or wetlands conservation are not 

quantified in the DEA. 

(44) Comment: A commenter notes 

that designation of critical habitat could 

impact oil and gas development and 

commercial and residential 

development. 

Our Response: A draft economic 

analysis (DEA) was made available to 

the public through the notice of 

availability (NOA) published November 

12, 2008. Chapter 3 of the DEA 

discusses impacts on oil and gas 

development. Chapter 5 of the DEA 

discusses potential impacts on 

residential and commercial 

development. 

(45) Comment: One commenter stated 

that designation of critical habitat can 

be ‘‘neutral or beneficial’’ in promoting 

participation in voluntary conservation 

agreements. Another commenter stated 

that designation will lead some 

landowners to stop cooperating in 

voluntary conservation efforts. 

Our Response: Section 2.4 of the DEA 

provides a detailed discussion of the 

potential for changes in participation in 

voluntary conservation agreements. The 

DEA concludes there may be fewer 

landowner enrollments in programs like 

the WRP that provide substantial 

benefits for bears, and as a result, 

critical habitat designation could result 

in a reduction of the quantity and 

quality of available bear habitat relative 

to what would have been available 

without designation. There was 

insufficient information available, 

however, to quantify this potential 

change. 

(46) Comment: Several commenters 

stated that potential impacts on 

agricultural activities, including impacts 

on land uses and land values, could be 

greater than estimated in the DEA. In 

addition to the apiary fencing costs 

cited in the DEA, commenters believe 

that additional impacts could result 

from crop depredation, drainage 

impacts (i.e., impacts on the ability to 

clear farm and parish drainage systems), 

and additional requirements for 

pesticide registration. 

Our Response: The DEA discusses 

potential impacts on agricultural 

activities in section 6.1. As noted in that 

section, damage to bees and hives was 

identified as the most costly agricultural 

problem associated with the Louisiana 

black bear. While other crop 

depredation may occur, no complaints 

have been filed with either the Service 

or the Louisiana Department of Wildlife 

and Fisheries. Therefore, there is little 

information available to gauge the 

extent or frequency of crop depredation 

and its resulting economic impact. 

While recognizing that many local 

farmers and landowners may be 

concerned about the possible land-use 

restrictions, the Service has not 

identified current agricultural practices 

as a threat to the Louisiana black bear. 

As a result, to date, there have been no 

consultations under section 7 of the Act 

related to these activities, and no 

impacts are forecast to occur in the 

DEA. 

Summary of Changes From Proposed 

Rule 

In preparing the final critical habitat 

designation for the Louisiana black bear, 

we reviewed and considered comments 

from the public and peer reviewers on 

the May 6, 2008, proposed designation 

of critical habitat (73 FR 25354) and the 

November 12, 2008, notice of 

availability of the associated draft 

economic analysis (73 FR 66831). We 

also reviewed the most recent data for 

land ownership and habitat types and 

reevaluated the information and data 

used in our previous proposal. As a 

result, we made the following changes 

to our proposed designation: 

10360 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 45 / Tuesday, March 10, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 

(1) We made corrections to ensure the 

consistent use of terms, citations, and 

grammar. We also provided clarification 

on the use of the terms ‘‘occupied at 

time of listing’’, ‘‘occupied’’, and 

‘‘breeding’’ populations. 

(2) We made corrections to the 

identity of areas under Federal and State 

ownership by including Federal- and 

State-owned Farmers Home 

Administration (FmHA) tracts. In the 

proposed rule (73 FR 25354), we had 

incorrectly assigned those tracts to 

private ownership. 

(3) We made one correction to clarify 

our description of one primary 

constituent element (PCE). In the 

proposed rule (73 FR 25354; May 6, 

2008), we omitted the word ‘‘wide’’ for 

PCE 2(b). That portion of the PCE now 

reads as follows: (b) Forested areas 

greater than 150 feet (46 meters) wide 

along waterways and sloughs and 

having a diversity of plant species and 

age-classes of sufficient area, quality, 

and configuration, as described in PCE 

1 above, to provide dispersal habitat 

between breeding populations to 

maintain genetic variability and 

promote stable or increasing 

populations, and to provide habitat 

supporting safe movement, foraging, 

and denning. 

(4) In our May 6, 2008, proposed rule 

we identified 1,331,635 ac (538,894 ha) 

of habitat containing features essential 

for Louisiana black bear conservation in 

three units (73 FR 25354). As we 

continued work on the proposed 

designation, we made one change that 

affected the total area considered to 

meet the definition of critical habitat. 

We refined our mapping accuracy to 

better define habitat that contains 

essential features to minimize the 

inclusion of areas that do not contain 

PCEs for the Louisiana black bear, based 

primarily on a reevaluation of the 

information and data used in our 

proposal. This meant that, to the best 

extent possible, we removed areas that 

do not contain the PCEs and are not 

otherwise considered to provide 

features essential to the Louisiana black 

bear’s conservation. Consequently, we 

delineated a boundary that more 

accurately reflects telemetry data and 

known breeding habitat. No changes 

were made as a result of the refined 

mapping to the proposed critical habitat 

boundaries of Units 1 and 2. However, 

we identified lands within the proposed 

boundary for Unit 3 that do not contain 

the PCEs, including urban development, 

agricultural land, and poor-quality nonPCE habitats such as marsh and semipermanently inundated swamps that do 

not link higher quality habitats. 

Although we are reporting a decrease in 

the overall area of Unit 3, removal of 

those areas has not reduced the extent 

of habitat containing the PCEs in this 

unit. This refinement resulted in a 

decrease of 85,516 ac (34,607 ha) in Unit 

3. As a result, we determined that 

133,636 ac (54,080 ha) in Unit 3 meet 

the definition of critical habitat. 

(5) In the proposed rule (73 FR 25354; 

May 6, 2008), we stated that we were 

evaluating the sufficiency of the 

permanent easement protection of the 

restored land from future conversion or 

development for the purpose of possible 

exclusion of private lands enrolled in 

the WRP via a permanent easement. We 

have determined that the benefits of 

excluding lands enrolled in a permanent 

easement under the WRP from critical 

habitat designation outweigh the 

benefits of including these lands, and 

that their exclusion will not result in 

extinction of this subspecies. Therefore, 

we are excluding 48,751 ac (19,729 ha) 

of Unit 1 and 1,547 ac (626 ha) of Unit 

2 under section 4(b)(2) of the Act, and 

we are designating the remaining 

628,505 ac (254,347 ha) of land in Unit 

1 and 433,680 ac (175,504 ha) of land 

in Unit 2 as critical habitat (see 

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

Act’’ section of this final rule for a 

detailed discussion of this exclusion). 

Except as previously discussed, our 

final designation includes all areas 

proposed as critical habitat for the 

Louisiana black bear (i.e., Units 1, 2, 

and 3), totaling approximately 1,195,821 

ac (483,932 ha). 

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 

(a) essential to the conservation of the 

species and 

(b) 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 the use of 

all methods and procedures that are 

necessary to bring any endangered 

species or threatened species to the 

point at which the measures provided 

under 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, 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 Federal agencies 

carrying out, funding, or authorizing the 

destruction or adverse modification of 

critical habitat. Section 7(a)(2) of the Act 

requires consultation on Federal actions 

may affect 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 to access private lands. Such 

designation does not require 

implementation of restoration, recovery, 

or enhancement measures by private 

landowners. Where a landowner 

requests Federal agency funding or 

authorization for an action that may 

affect a listed species or critical habitat, 

the consultation requirements of section 

7(a)(2) would apply. 

For inclusion in a critical habitat 

designation, the habitat within the 

geographical area occupied by the 

species at the time of listing must 

contain the physical and biological 

features that are essential to the 

conservation of the species, and be 

included only if those features may 

require special management 

consideration or protection. 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 those 

physical and biological features 

essential to the conservation of the 

species). Under the Act, we can 

designate critical habitat in areas 

outside of the geographical area 

occupied by the species at the time it is 

listed only when we determine that 

those areas are essential for the 

conservation of the species. 

Section 4 of the Act requires that we 

designate critical habitat on the basis of 

the best scientific and commercial data 

available. Further, our Policy on 

Information Standards Under the 

Endangered Species Act, published in 

the Federal Register on July 1, 1994 (59 

FR 34271), the Information Quality Act 

(section 515 of the Treasury and General 

Government Appropriations Act for 

Fiscal Year 2001 (Pub. L. 106–554; H.R. 

5658)), and our associated Information 

Quality Guidelines provide criteria, 

establish procedures, and provide 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 45 / Tuesday, March 10, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 10361 

guidance to ensure that our decisions 

represent the best scientific data 

available. They require our 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 

should be designated as critical habitat, 

our primary source of information is 

generally the information developed 

during the listing process for the 

species. Additional information sources 

may include the 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. 

Habitat is often dynamic, and species 

may move from one area to another over 

time. Furthermore, we recognize that 

critical habitat designated at a particular 

point in time may not include all of the 

habitat areas that we may later 

determine are necessary for the recovery 

of the species. For these reasons, a 

critical habitat designation does not 

signal that habitat outside the 

designated area is unimportant or may 

not promote the recovery of the species. 

Areas that support populations, but 

are outside the critical habitat 

designation, will continue to be subject 

to conservation actions. They are also 

subject 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 Federal agency 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 information available 

at the time of these planning efforts calls 

for a different outcome. 

Primary Constituent Elements (PCEs) 

In accordance with section 3(5)(A)(i) 

of the Act and regulations at 50 CFR 

424.12, in determining which areas 

occupied by the species at the time of 

listing to designate as critical habitat, 

we consider those physical and 

biological features essential to the 

conservation of the species that may 

require special management 

considerations or protection. We 

consider the physical and biological 

features to be the PCEs laid out in the 

appropriate quantity and spatial 

arrangement for the conservation of the 

species. These PCEs include, but are not 

limited to: 

(1) Space for individual and 

population growth and for normal 

behavior; 

(2) Food, water, air, light, minerals, or 

other nutritional or physiological 

requirements; 

(3) Cover or shelter; 

(4) Sites for breeding, reproduction, 

and rearing (or development) of 

offspring; and 

(5) Habitats that are protected from 

disturbance or are representative of the 

historic geographical and ecological 

distributions of a species. 

We derive the specific PCEs for the 

Louisiana black bear from the biological 

needs of this subspecies as described in 

the Critical Habitat section of the 

proposed rule to designate critical 

habitat for the Louisiana black bear 

published in the Federal Register on 

May 6, 2008 (73 FR 25354). 

Space for Individual and Population 

Growth and Normal Behavior 

Louisiana black bear populations are 

currently found in the bottomland 

hardwood (BLH) forest communities 

and associated habitat of the Lower 

Mississippi River Alluvial Valley. Prime 

black bear habitat is characterized by 

relatively inaccessible terrain, thick 

understory vegetation, and abundant 

food sources in the forms of shrubs or 

tree-borne soft or hard mast (Pelton 

1982, p. 507). BLH forest community 

types in the range of the Louisiana black 

bear, expressed in terms of dominancecodominance, include Taxodium 

distichum (bald cypress); T. distichumNyssa aquatica (bald cypress-water 

tupelo); Betula nigra-Platanus 

occidentalis (river birch-American 

sycamore); Populus deltoides 

(cottonwood); Celtis laevigata-Ulmus 

americana-Fraxinus pennsylvanica 

(sugarberry-American elm-green ash); 

Quercus nuttallii-U. americana-F. 

pennsylvanica (Nuttall oak-American 

elm-green ash); Q.lyrata-Carya aquatica 

(overcup oak-water hickory); 

Liquidambar styraciflua-Q. nigra 

(sweetgum-water oak); and Q. 

michauxii-Q. falcata (swamp chestnut 

oak-cherrybark oak) (BBCC 1997, p. 15). 

Benson (2005, p. 56, Table 4.1) 

described habitat types in terms of 

species, flooding regime, and age as: (1) 

Upland forests—BLH forests in 

relatively high elevation sites not 

subject to frequent flooding; and (2) 

lowland forest—BLH forests in 

relatively low elevations subject to 

seasonal or annual flooding. Louisiana 

black bear habitat in the Lower 

Atchafalaya population differs from the 

Tensas and Upper Atchafalaya areas in 

that it includes, in addition to forested 

wetlands (e.g., deciduous forests, 

cypress forests, deciduous and bald 

cypress forests, shrub-scrub marshes), 

open marshes, deciduous forest spoil 

banks, and upland hardwood forest 

(Nyland 1995, p. 58). The interspersion 

of these communities may be important 

in meeting the seasonal needs of the 

Lower Atchafalaya Louisiana black bear 

(Nyland 1995, p. 58). The coastal (or 

wetland) habitats may provide escape 

cover, food sources, and secure travel 

corridors between other habitat types 

(Jones and Pelton 2003, p. 193). 

The size of the area necessary for 

black bears may differ depending on 

population density, habitat quality, 

conservation goals, and assumptions 

regarding minimum viable populations 

(Rudis and Tansey 1995, p. 172). For 

example, Rudis and Tansey (1995, p. 

172), citing personal communications, 

reported estimates of minimal areas 

needed to support a black bear 

population ranging from 79,000 ac 

(32,000 ha) in forested wetlands to 

197,684 ac (80, 000 ha) in upland 

forests. Cox et al. (1994, p. 50) estimated 

that a population of 200 or more bears 

could require a habitat base of 

approximately 490,000 to 980,000 ac 

(198,000 to 397,000 ha). Maintaining 

and enhancing key habitat patches 

within breeding habitat is a critical 

conservation strategy for black bears 

(Hellgren and Vaughan 1994, p. 276). 

Areas should be large enough to 

maintain female survival rates above the 

minimum rate necessary to sustain a 

population (Hellgren and Vaughan 

1994, p. 280). Weaver (1999, pp. 105– 

106) documented that bear home ranges 

and movements were centered in 

forested habitat and noted that actions 

to conserve, enhance, and restore that 

habitat would promote population 

recovery, although no recommendations 

on minimum requirements were 

provided. Hellgren and Vaughn (1994, 

p. 283) concluded that large, contiguous 

forests are a critical conservation need 

for black bears. 

One approach to assessing Louisiana 

black bear habitat needs is to look at 

existing densities; however, density 

estimates should be used with caution 

as they can be influenced by population 

estimation methodology and study area 

delineation. No single area-density 

relationship has been developed for 

Louisiana black bears; however, density 

estimates have been developed for 

Louisiana black bears in two locations. 

10362 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 45 / Tuesday, March 10, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 

Bear density for the TRNWR subgroup 

was estimated to be 1 bear per 686 ac 

(0.36 per km2). This is low compared to 

the adjacent Deltic subgroup with a 

density of 1 bear per 173 ac (1.43 per 

km2) (Boersen et al. 2003, p. 204). The 

unusually high densities observed on 

the Deltic tracts may be the result of the 

small size of the habitat fragments and 

accessibility of adjacent desirable 

agricultural crops (Boersen et al. 2003, 

p. 204). 

Another approach to assess Louisiana 

black bear habitat requirements is to 

examine bear movements and home 

ranges. The home ranges of Louisiana 

black bears appear to be closely linked 

to forest cover (Marchinton 1995, p. 48). 

Female range size may be partly 

determined by habitat quality (Amstrup 

and Beecham 1976, p. 345), while male 

home range size may be determined by 

the distribution of females (i.e., to allow 

for a male’s efficient monitoring of a 

maximum number of females) (Rogers 

1987, p. 19). Male black bears 

commonly disperse, and adult male 

bears can be wide-ranging with home 

ranges generally three to eight times 

larger than those of adult females 

(Pelton 1982, p. 507) and that may 

encompass several female home ranges 

(Rogers 1987, p. 19). Dispersal by female 

black bears is uncommon and typically 

is a short distance (Rogers 1987, p. 43). 

Females without cubs generally had 

larger home ranges than females with 

newborn cubs (Benson 2005, p. 46), 

although this difference was observed to 

vary seasonally, with movements more 

restricted in the spring (Weaver 1999, p. 

99). Following separation of the mother 

and yearling offspring, young female 

black bears commonly establish a home 

range partially within or adjacent to 

their mother’s home range (Rogers 1987, 

p. 39). Young males, however, generally 

disperse from their maternal home 

range. Limited information suggests that 

subadult males may disperse up to 136 

mi (219 km) (Rogers 1987, p. 44; BBCC 

1997, p. 22). 

Home range estimates, calculated as 

the minimum convex polygon (MCP), 

vary for the Louisiana black bear. The 

MCP is a way to represent animal 

movement data and is calculated as the 

smallest (convex) polygon that contains 

all the points a group of animals have 

visited. Mean MCP home range 

estimates for the Tensas River NWR 

population were 35,736 ac (14,462 ha) 

and 5,550 ac (2,426 ha) for males and 

females, respectively (Weaver 1999, p. 

70). Male home ranges (MCP) in the 

Upper Atchafalaya population may be 

as high as 80,000 ac (32,375 ha), while 

female home ranges are approximately 

8,000 ac (3,237 ha) (Wagner 1995, p. 12). 

Lower Atchafalaya population home 

ranges (MCP) were estimated to be 

10,477 ac (4,200 ha) for males, and 

3,781 ac (1,530 ha) for females (Wagner 

1995, p. 12). It was speculated that the 

smaller home ranges of Lower 

Atchafalaya bears when compared to 

Upper Atchafalaya bears may be due to 

superior habitat quality in the coastal 

area (Wagner 1995, p. 25). However, the 

smaller home range estimates may have 

been affected by the small number of 

data points and bear use of garbage for 

food in many coastal locations. 

Louisiana black bears located on the 

Deltic lands in the Tensas River 

population have very small home ranges 

compared to other black bear 

populations with an estimated average 

home range (MCP) for males of 1,729 ac 

(700 ha) and 1,038 ac (420 ha) for 

females (Beausoleil 1999, p. 57). The 

smaller home ranges for this population 

are believed to be a result of the bears’ 

reliance on the surrounding agricultural 

crops for forage (Benson 2005, p. 95) 

and the overall higher quality of the 

forested habitat (Weaver 1999, pp. 90– 

91). Based on observations of the Deltic 

populations, Benson (2005, p. 95) 

suggested that it may be possible for a 

relatively large number of bears to 

require less space and persist in limited 

forest habitat if food is sufficiently 

abundant and diverse. 

Habitat loss, besides reducing the 

overall area, can result in fragmentation 

or isolation of habitat, as is evident for 

the Louisiana black bear (Clark 1999, p. 

107). Habitat fragmentation can restrict 

bear movements both within and 

between populations (Beausoleil et al. 

2005, p. 403; Marchinton 1995, p. 53; 

BBCC 1997, p. 23). This can result in 

increased mortality as bears are forced 

to forage on less protected sites, travel 

farther to forage, or cross barriers such 

as roads (Pelton 1982, p. 507; Hellgren 

and Maehr 1992, pp. 154, 155, 156). 

Open areas, roads, large waterways, 

development, and large expanses of 

agricultural land may affect habitat 

contiguity. Such features tend to impede 

the movement of bears (Clark 1999, p. 

107). Habitat fragmentation also limits 

the potential for the present Louisiana 

black bear population to expand its 

current breeding range (USFWS 1995, p. 

8). Habitat fragmentation can create 

barriers to immigration and emigration 

that can affect population demographics 

and genetic integrity (Clark et al. 2006, 

p. 12). Bear populations in a relatively 

large habitat patch are not ensured of 

long-term survival without 

recolonization by bears from adjacent 

patches (Clark 1999, p. 111). The longterm protection of habitat and 

interconnecting corridors or habitat 

linkages between viable breeding 

populations is one of the recovery 

criteria for the Louisiana black bear 

(USFWS 1995, p. 14). 

Habitat linkages or corridors 

providing vegetative cover can facilitate 

the movement of bears through 

agricultural (or other open) lands, 

particularly when bears reside in 

fragmented tracts of forest, as is the case 

for the Louisiana black bear (Weaver et 

al. 1990b, p. 347). Based on telemetry 

locations and visual observations, 

Marchinton (1995, p. 53) determined 

that wooded drainages were important 

travel corridors for movement between 

forested tracts. He noted that those 

drainages may facilitate movements 

across agricultural lands and may be 

important for dispersal. Likewise, 

Weaver (1999, p. 67) found significant 

black bear use of habitat linkages 

between larger forested tracts, including 

forested edges associated with bayous, 

their tributaries, various dry ditch 

bottoms, and brushy ditch and canal 

banks in various agricultural tracts. 

Bears were also observed to frequent 

certain areas of intact forest such as the 

banks of rivers, sloughs, ditches, and 

bayous, and Weaver (1999, p. 82) 

suggested that the term ‘‘habitat 

linkages’’ may be more appropriate than 

travel corridors when referring to the 

remnant habitat features that link 

disjunct wooded tracts. 

Beausoleil (1999, p. 62) observed that 

female Louisiana black bears would not 

move between woodlots unless they 

were connected by a forested corridor or 

were closer than 1,640 feet (ft) (0.5 km) 

apart. Anderson (1997, p. 74 via T. 

Edwards, USFWS pers. communication) 

found that female bears would not travel 

across expansive agricultural fields that 

separated forested tracts by 4,541 ft (1.3 

km) and observed that bears traveled 

along tree-lined ditches that were as 

narrow as 16 ft (5 m) in width 

(Anderson (1997, p. 74). Similarly, Van 

Why (2003, pp. 30, 46) observed 

Louisiana black bears using narrow 

strips of vegetation (less than 33 ft (10 

m) in width) to travel through 

inhospitable habitats such as open 

fields. Weaver et al. (1990b, p. 347) 

recommended a 197-ft (60-m) buffer 

zone along waterways as a travel 

corridor or habitat linkage. Bears will 

travel through open habitat (Weaver 

1999, p. 81), but they may travel farther 

from the forested edge when in a 

wooded corridor versus in an open field 

(Anderson 1997, p. 42). 

Habitat linkages, as described in 

Louisiana black bear population studies, 

are generally described as narrow and 

linear in shape, most likely resulting 

from the fact that ditches and bayous are 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 45 / Tuesday, March 10, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 10363 

the only remaining features connecting 

habitat fragments within a population. 

Non-linear habitat patches located 

between existing populations may also 

provide areas for bear movement. Such 

linkages increase the amount of forested 

habitat (Beausoleil et al. 2005, p. 408) 

and may serve not only as pathways for 

concealed travel, but may also provide 

other functions such as escape cover, 

bedding and denning sites, routes for 

juvenile dispersal, and avenues for 

genetic exchange (Weaver 1999, pp. 82– 

83). Habitat linkages ranging from 2.5 ac 

to 12 ac (1 ha to 5 ha) can provide cover 

for black bears (Pelton and Van Manen 

1997, p. 33). Smaller areas (i.e., 2.5 ac 

(1 ha)) may provide suitable movement 

paths for shorter, within-population 

movements but may not be sufficient for 

establishing larger movement paths 

between populations. Beausoleil et al. 

(2005, pp. 409–410) recommended the 

establishment of habitat corridors to 

reduce the isolation of forested habitats 

for black bears and suggested that 

corridor width should vary with length 

and increase with distance. Similarly, 

Cox et al. (1994, p. 35) suggested that 

black bears likely require broader 

habitat areas rather than thin corridors 

when connecting distant populations. 

While there is scientific discussion 

regarding the relative importance of 

wildlife corridors in general, they have 

been shown to be important for black 

bears (Cox et al. 1994, p. 34). 

Furthermore, in modeling spatial 

landscape structure and species 

dispersal, King and With (2002, p. 33) 

found that habitat clumping may help 

mitigate the negative effect that habitat 

loss has on dispersal success. Habitat 

linkages (or corridors) are needed to 

facilitate bear movement between 

habitat patches within and between 

black bear populations (Anderson 1997, 

p. 82; Wagner 1995, p. 43; BBCC 1997, 

p. 54). Telemetry data on Louisiana 

black bear movements in the Tensas 

River Basin demonstrate that habitat 

linkages should be considered in 

management plans intended to ensure 

Louisiana black bear population 

viability in fragmented habitats and to 

provide for the large home ranges 

(particularly of males) needed for 

unimpeded breeding and dispersal 

(Weaver 1999, p. 106). 

Food, Water, Air, Light, Minerals, or 

Other Nutritional or Physiological 

Requirements 

The Louisiana black bear’s diet is 

dominated by plant material throughout 

the year (Pelton 1982, p. 508; Anderson 

1997, p. 77; Benson 2005, p. 20). A 

portion of the diet is made up of animal 

matter, primarily beetles and other 

insects (which are consumed year-round 

(Anderson 1997, p. 79)), and 

occasionally carrion (Pelton 1982, pp. 

508–509; Benson 2005, p. 27). Diets vary 

seasonally in relation to food 

availability as does habitat use (Nyland 

1995, p. 53). After den emergence in the 

spring, bears utilize remaining fat 

reserves (Pelton 1982, p. 509). As this is 

generally a time of lower food 

abundance, bears may lose weight but 

will soon take advantage of any 

available protein-rich foods (Pelton 

1982, p. 509). On the Deltic tracts, such 

items include grasses, sedges, oats, 

wheat, and beetles (Anderson 1997, p. 

49; Benson 2005, p. 26). During the 

summer, food abundance and diversity 

increases, and soft mast, found 

primarily in forest openings, becomes a 

major food source. Soft mast may 

include such items as blackberry, grape, 

mulberry, sassafras, and paw paw 

(Weaver et al. 1990b, p. 344; Anderson 

1997, p. 78; BBCC 1997, p. 18; Benson 

2005, p. 26). Recently timbered areas 

can provide foraging opportunities for 

bears as they allow light penetration 

through canopy openings and provide 

rotting wood that harbors beetles and 

grubs (Weaver et al. 1990b, p. 344). 

Louisiana black bears were also 

observed using early successional areas 

(e.g., planted with trees or regenerating 

naturally) planted with trees (0 to 12 

years) or by an open canopy and dense 

understory of shrubs, vines, and 

saplings (Benson 2005, p. 56, Table 4.1). 

Such areas provide food and cover 

similar to natural openings in forests. 

Food availability during the late 

summer and fall is critical as bears need 

to increase their fat stores in preparation 

for winter dormancy and denning 

(Pelton 1982, p. 509; BBCC 1997, p. 18). 

Acorns and other hard mast are 

important food items during this period 

(Pelton 1986, p. 51; Benson 2005, p. 27). 

Extensive foraging may occur and bears 

may travel great distances in search of 

food (Pelton 1982, p. 509). It is not 

uncommon for a bear to gain one to two 

pounds of fat daily (Pelton 1986, p. 51). 

Bears will forage on agricultural crops, 

which may dominate the diet depending 

on availability (Nyland 1995, p. 59; 

Anderson 1997, p. 78; Benson 2005, p. 

20). 

An important factor affecting black 

bear populations appears to be variation 

in food supply and its effect on 

physiological status and reproduction 

(Rogers 1976, pp. 436–437). Black bear 

cub survival and development are 

closely associated with the physical 

condition of the mother (Rogers 1976, p. 

434). Cub mortality rates and female 

infertility are typically greater in single 

or successive years of poor mast 

production or failure (Rogers 1987, p. 

53; Eiler et al. 1989, p. 357; Elowe and 

Dodge 1989, p. 964). Nutrition may 

affect the age of female reproductive 

maturity and subsequent fecundity 

(Pelton 1982, p. 504). Reproduction may 

occur as early as 2 years of age for black 

bears in high quality habitat; in poor or 

marginal habitat, reproduction may not 

occur until 7 years of age (Rogers 1987, 

pp. 51–52, Table 8). Litter size may be 

affected by food availability prior to 

denning (Rogers 1987, p. 53, Table 10). 

During periods of food shortages, bears 

range farther in search of food. This 

increased movement substantially 

increases their chances for human 

encounters and human-related mortality 

(Rogers 1976, p. 436; Pelton 1982, p. 

509). These high mortality rates are 

suspected to be greater for yearling and 

subadult black bear males dispersing 

from the family unit, and are probably 

the result of starvation, accidents (e.g., 

vehicular collisions), and poaching. 

Cover or Shelter 

Black bears undergo a period of 

winter dormancy that allows them to 

circumvent food shortages and severe 

weather (Pelton 1982, p. 508). Louisiana 

black bears generally enter dens in early 

December and emerge in mid-April 

(Weaver 1999, p. 116, Table 4.1). They 

may remain somewhat active during 

this period and have been observed 

changing den sites and foraging, 

although their home range sizes are 

reduced (Weaver 1999, p. 115; 

Hightower et al. 2002, p. 16). Louisiana 

black bears use trees, brush piles, and 

ground nests for denning (Weaver 1999, 

p. 118; Hightower et al. 2002, p. 14). An 

individual bear may use one or more 

different den types, often within the 

same season (Weaver 1999, p. 118). 

Weaver (1999, p. 120) noted that most 

den trees were bald cypress, but also 

observed bear use of other species such 

as overcup oak and American sycamore. 

Den tree cavities appeared to result from 

broken tops or limbs and averaged 

approximately 49 ft (15 m) in height 

(Weaver 1999, p. 121). Den trees 

primarily occur along permanently 

flooded sloughs, seasonally flooded 

flats, lakes, bayous, and rivers (Weaver 

1999, p. 130). Ground dens were located 

in wooded habitat and constructed from 

stacked palmetto and vegetation 

arranged in a wreath-like manner. Many 

of the wreath-like dens included 

excavated depressions, but those created 

from stacked palmetto did not (Weaver 

1999, pp. 121–122). Dens were observed 

in forested habitat and constructed 

against a backdrop such as a felled log, 

a tree top, or the base of a tree (Weaver 

1999, p. 122). In the Tensas population, 

10364 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 45 / Tuesday, March 10, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 

13 of 17 dens were located in forested 

stands that were at least partially 

timbered within the last 5 years (Weaver 

1999, p. 122). Brush pile dens were 

observed in residual tree tops that were 

felled during recent timber harvests 

(Weaver 1999, pp. 122; Hightower et al. 

2002, p. 14). Trees large enough and 

sufficiently mature to contain useable 

cavities are almost always found in 

places inaccessible to logging 

(Marchinton 1995, p. 55), or are left 

standing due to their low economic 

value. 

The importance of high-quality cover 

for bedding, denning, and escape cover 

increases as forests become smaller and 

more fragmented, and as human 

encroachment and disturbance in bear 

habitat increases (Pelton 1986, p. 52). 

The thick understory found in some 

BLH forests and adjacent areas provides 

high-quality escape cover, which is 

considered especially important where 

fragmented habitats put bear 

populations in closer proximity to 

humans. Bears frequently use forested 

areas and scrub-shrub habitat as escape 

cover and as resting sites or ‘‘daybeds’’ 

(Weaver et al. 1990b, p. 347). Daybeds 

are generally shallow, unlined 

depressions excavated in soft ground or 

leaf litter (Pelton 1982, p. 509; BBCC 

2005, p. 13). Secure areas for bedding, 

denning, and escape can be found in 

cover that limits visibility, slows foot 

travel, and creates noise when traversed 

(Weaver et al. 1990b, p. 347). 

Sites for Breeding, Reproduction, or 

Rearing (or Development) of Offspring 

The average age for first female 

reproduction varies widely across black 

bear studies; however, most describe 

breeding occurring between 3 years and 

5 years of age (Weaver 1990, p. 5). 

Breeding occurs in summer and the 

gestation period for black bears is 7 to 

8 months (Weaver 1990, p. 5). Delayed 

implantation occurs in the black bear; 

blastocysts float free in the uterus and 

do not implant until late November or 

early December (Pelton 1982, p. 505). 

Because of this, pregnant females are 

not subject to the nutritional drain of a 

developing fetus while they forage to 

increase fat reserves for winter torpor 

(Weaver 1990, p. 5). Additional 

information on female habitat 

requirements is described in the Space 

for Individual and Population Growth 

and Normal Behavior discussion above. 

Females give birth during the denning 

season. The normal litter size is two, 

although litter sizes of one to four cubs 

(and rarely five) do occur. Cubs are 

altricial (helpless) at birth (Weaver 

1990, p. 5) and generally exit the den 

site with the female in April or May. 

Young bears stay with the female 

through summer and fall, and den with 

her the next winter. The young disperse 

in their second spring or summer, prior 

to the female’s period of estrus (Pelton 

1982, p. 505). Estrus starts when the 

female becomes physiologically capable 

of reproducing again. However, not all 

females produce cubs every other 

winter; reproduction is related to 

physiological condition (i.e, female 

bears that do not reach an optimal 

weight or fat level may not reproduce in 

a given year) (Rogers 1987, p. 51). 

Females give birth while in their 

winter dens. Den site characteristics 

were described in more detail in the 

‘‘Cover or Shelter’’ discussion above. 

Secure den sites for reproduction are 

particularly important as the young 

would not survive without their mother 

should she abandon her den because of 

disturbance. Benson (2005, p. 84) found 

that female reproductive status affected 

den type use, as females with cubs used 

trees for dens more frequently than 

ground dens. However, Hightower et al. 

(2002, p. 14) did not detect differences 

in den type use by females based on 

their reproductive status. 

Tree dens may be an important 

component for female reproductive 

success in areas subject to flooding 

(Hellgren and Vaughan 1989a, p. 352). 

Den trees located in cypress swamps 

would appear to provide an increase in 

security (e.g., decrease in disturbance) 

compared to ground dens. The 

availability of den trees, however, does 

not appear to be a limiting factor for 

reproductive success (Weaver and 

Pelton 1994, p. 431); den trees may not 

be necessary for Louisiana black bears if 

flooding and disturbance are minimized 

(Hightower et al. 2002, p. 15). 

To afford additional protection to 

denning bears, when we listed the 

Louisiana black bear, we extended legal 

protection to candidate and actual den 

trees by promulgating a special rule 

under section 4(d) of the Act and found 

at 50 CFR 17.40(i) (57 FR 588, January 

7, 1992). As the terms imply, ‘‘actual 

den tree’’ refers to any tree used by a 

denning bear during the winter and 

early spring seasons. Candidate den 

trees are defined in the final rule as 

Taxodium distichum (bald cypress) and 

Nyssa sp. (tupelo gum) in occupied 

Louisiana black bear habitat having a 

diameter at breast height of 36 inches 

(in) (92 centimeters (cm)) or greater, 

with visible cavities, and occurring in or 

along rivers, lakes, streams, bayous, 

sloughs, or other water bodies. Results 

of recent research involving Louisiana 

black bears indicate that they will use 

virtually any species of tree for a den 

site (including overcup oak, American 

elm, sweetgum, water hickory, and 

sycamore), if it meets the minimum 

diameter and cavity presence criteria 

described above (Hightower et al. 2002, 

p. 16). 

Habitats That Are Protected From 

Disturbance 

Remoteness is an important spatial 

feature of black bear habitat. In the 

southeastern United States, remoteness 

is relative to forest tract size and the 

presence of roads. Examples of 

remoteness important for black bear 

habitat include: A tract of timberland 

0.5 mi (0.8 km) from well-maintained 

roads and development (Rudis and 

Birdsey 1986, p. 5), a forested tract of 

more than 2,500 ac (1,000 ha) (Rudis 

and Tansey 1995, p. 172), or a tract with 

0.8 mi or less of road per mile2 (0.5km/ 

km2) of forest (Pelton 1986, p. 52). 

Remote timberlands, by this definition, 

are relatively rare within the historical 

range of black bears and are located 

primarily in Louisiana (Rudis and 

Birdsey 1986, p. 5). Increasing road 

density increases the likelihood of 

human disturbances, which can limit 

habitat suitability and use for black 

bears. 

In some cases, where remoteness does 

not exist, bears are adaptable and 

through changes in behavior can survive 

and thrive in proximity to humans if 

afforded areas of retreat that ensure little 

chance of close contact or visual 

encounters. For example, bears may 

shift home range locations in response 

to increases in road densities (Brody 

and Pelton 1989, p. 10). However, in 

areas of fragmented habitat, behavioral 

adjustments may not be sufficient to 

offset the negative effects of barriers 

such as roads. Approximately 38 

percent of known Louisiana black bear 

mortalities are the result of road kills 

(Pace et al. 2000, p. 368). 

Primary Constituent Elements for the 

Louisiana Black Bear 

Under the Act and its implementing 

regulations, we are required to identify 

the physical and biological features 

within the geographical area known to 

be occupied at the time of listing that 

are essential to the conservation of the 

Louisiana black bear and which may 

require special management 

considerations or protections. The 

physical and biological features are the 

primary constituent elements (PCEs) 

laid out in a specific spatial 

arrangement and quantity to be essential 

to the conservation of the species. All 

areas designated as critical habitat for 

the Louisiana black bear are occupied, 

are within the subspecies’ historic 

geographic range, and contain sufficient 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 45 / Tuesday, March 10, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 10365 

PCEs to support at least one life history 

function. 

Based on our current knowledge of 

the life history, biology, and ecology of 

the subspecies and the requirements of 

the habitat to sustain the essential life 

history functions of the subspecies, we 

have determined that Louisiana black 

bear’s PCEs are: 

(1) Breeding habitat (i.e., within or 

contiguous to the home range of females 

in a core breeding population) 

consisting of hardwood forest areas 

having a diversity of age, class, and 

species and containing sources of hard 

mast (acorns and nuts) produced by 

such species as mature oaks, hickories, 

and pecan, and that may include one or 

more of the following: 

(a) Areas containing soft mast 

provided by a diversity of plant species, 

including, but not limited to, 

blackberry, grape, mulberry, sassafras, 

paw paw, etc., occurring primarily in 

forest openings, on spoil banks, and in 

areas adjacent to forested habitat; 

(b) Areas within forested habitat 

providing protein sources consisting of 

beetles and other colonial insects found 

in rotting and decaying wood found on 

the forest floor; 

(c) Grasses and sedges found in forest 

openings, on spoil banks with open 

canopies, and in vegetated areas 

adjacent to forested habitats; and 

(d) Secure areas for reproduction, 

winter dormancy, day bedding, and 

escape. These include areas with den 

trees (e.g., bald cypress, overcup oak, 

American sycamore, etc.); areas with a 

thick understory, shrub-scrub habitat, 

openings along spoil banks, vegetated 

areas adjacent to forests, or any 

vegetation that provides cover, limits 

visibility, slows foot travel, or creates 

noise when traversed; early successional 

forests (0 to 12 years) with an open 

canopy and dense understory of shrubs, 

vines, and saplings; or areas with 

vegetation such as palmetto, greenbriars, 

blackberry, dewberry, and downed 

trees. 

(2) Corridors consisting of: 

(a) Habitat patches 12 acres (5 

hectares) or greater in size; or 

(b) Forested areas greater than 150 feet 

(46 meters) wide along waterways and 

sloughs and having a diversity of plant 

species and age-classes of sufficient 

area, quality, and configuration, as 

described in PCE 1 above, to provide 

dispersal habitat between breeding 

populations to maintain genetic 

variability and promote stable or 

increasing populations, and to provide 

habitat supporting safe movement, 

foraging, and denning. 

As described in the Primary 

Constituent Elements section, breeding 

habitat (PCE–1) must be interspersed 

and connected by suitable corridors 

(PCE–2) to allow for movement between 

core populations. 

This final designation is designed for 

the conservation of PCEs necessary to 

support the life history functions of the 

Louisiana black bear and the areas 

containing those PCEs in the 

appropriate quantity and spatial 

arrangement essential for the 

conservation of the subspecies. Because 

not all life history functions require all 

the PCEs, not all critical habitat will 

contain all the PCEs. 

Special Management Considerations or 

Protections 

When designating critical habitat, we 

assess whether the areas occupied by 

the species at the time of listing contain 

the features that are essential to the 

conservation of the species, and 

whether these features may require 

special management consideration or 

protections. As stated in the final listing 

rule (January 7, 1992; 57 FR 588), 

threats to the physical and biological 

features essential to the conservation of 

the Louisiana black bear include the 

direct and indirect impacts of land 

clearing or development resulting in 

habitat fragmentation and land use 

conversion, primarily to agriculture and 

development. Activities that may 

destroy or adversely modify critical 

habitat are those that alter the PCEs to 

an extent that the value of critical 

habitat for both the survival and 

recovery of the Louisiana black bear is 

appreciably reduced. More specifically, 

such activities could reduce the extent 

of habitat available for foraging, 

denning, escape, reproduction and 

sheltering within populations, and 

severely limit or prevent dispersal and 

genetic exchange among populations. 

Examples of actions that have effects on 

Louisiana black bear habitat include, 

but are not limited to: 

(1) Initiation or expansion of 

agricultural operations; hydrocarbon 

exploration and development; 

commercial, industrial, and residential 

development; flood control projects that 

involve clearing of woody vegetation on 

Corps flowage easement lands; and 

other activities that would require the 

permanent removal or fragmentation of 

forested wetlands; 

(2) Road construction, large-scale or 

wide-ranging development, and floodcontrol projects that would result in 

barriers that are impermeable to bears; 

(3) Large-scale, temporary clearing of 

all woody vegetation on flowage 

easements within the Atchafalaya River 

Basin to facilitate drainage of the 

Mississippi and Atchafalaya Rivers 

during extraordinarily high water 

periods. Such activities could 

temporarily eliminate habitat for 

foraging, denning, escape, reproduction, 

and sheltering within populations 

occurring in Unit 2, and severely limit 

or prevent dispersal and genetic 

exchange between populations within 

Units 2 and 3. 

As described in more detail in the 

unit descriptions below, we find that 

the PCEs within each unit may require 

special management considerations or 

protection due to threats to the 

Louisiana black bear or its habitat. 

Criteria Used To Identify Critical 

Habitat 

As required by section 4(b)(2) of the 

Act, we used the best scientific data 

available to designate critical habitat. 

We only designate areas outside the 

geographical area occupied by a species 

when a designation limited to its 

present range would be inadequate to 

ensure the conservation of the species 

(50 CFR 424.12(e)). 

We have acquired and evaluated 

additional data since our previous 

proposal May 6, 2008 (73 FR 25354), 

and have revised the critical habitat 

boundary to avoid the inclusion of nonPCE land. All critical habitat units 

discussed in this designation are 

occupied by the Louisiana black bear. 

We use the term ‘‘occupied’’ to indicate 

the subspecies’ presence in an area 

without regard to reproductive 

information (i.e., the transient or 

permanent presence of male or female 

bears). This is in contrast to the use of 

this same term by Louisiana black bear 

resource managers who have 

historically used it to indicate areas 

with physical evidence of reproduction 

(e.g., young, females with young, or 

lactating females). We use the term 

‘‘breeding areas or breeding habitat’’ to 

refer to areas with physical evidence of 

reproduction. 

Our conservation strategy is based on 

a review of the biological needs of this 

subspecies as described in the literature, 

and the recovery strategy outlined in the 

Louisiana black bear recovery plan. In 

proposing critical habitat, our two-fold 

strategy is to: (1) Reduce the potential 

for extinction by providing habitat in 

areas of sufficient composition and size 

to maintain the viability of existing 

reproducing populations (as determined 

by breeding habitat); and (2) ensure the 

demographic vigor and genetic 

variability of existing populations by 

providing habitat of sufficient 

composition and location to provide 

areas of connectivity between adjoining 

breeding populations. The discussion 

below summarizes the criteria used to 

10366 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 45 / Tuesday, March 10, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 

identify critical habitat. For additional 

information, refer to the proposed 

critical habitat rule published on May 6, 

2008 (73 FR 25354). 

We include land within the critical 

habitat unit boundaries contingent upon 

that land being occupied at the time of 

listing and containing the physical and 

biological features essential to the 

conservation of the Louisiana black 

bear, meaning that it either (1) serves as 

breeding habitat, or (2) serves as an 

immigration or emigration corridor 

between the core breeding populations. 

We have defined breeding habitat as 

bottomland and upland hardwood 

forests and adjacent vegetated habitats 

having a diversity of plant species and 

age-classes with evidence of use by at 

least five adult female bears that have 

home ranges that partially or completely 

overlap (core areas). An area that is 

completely or partially within one or 

more of those home ranges, but outside 

of the core area, as defined above, 

would be considered breeding habitat if 

it: (1) Has demonstrated use (via radio 

telemetry) of at least one female bear 

and is larger than 5 ac (2 ha) in size; or 

(2) is larger than 100 ac (40 ha) in size, 

regardless of telemetry confirmation of 

female presence, and is not separated 

from the breeding habitat core area by 

a landscape feature that may negatively 

influence natural bear movements (e.g., 

a State or Federal road, or a large 

waterway). Evaluation of existing 

telemetry data suggests that forest use 

by fewer than five females is generally 

indicative of temporary residence as a 

result of dispersal (noted most often 

within, and surrounding, the 

reintroduction complex). 

Immigration and emigration corridors 

between existing breeding habitats were 

determined primarily by the distance 

between existing core breeding 

populations. Corridor boundary width 

varies and was further determined by 

the following three factors (listed below 

in order of decreasing significance): 

(1) The width necessary to 

incorporate more than one potential 

habitat linkage. Selection of only one 

path of habitat linkages would not 

account for the nomadic nature of bears, 

nor for their spatially large habitat 

requirements, and would assume (likely 

incorrectly) that all bears would select 

the same path while traveling the 

significant distance that separates 

existing populations. According to Cox 

et al. (1994, p. 35), ‘‘black bears likely 

require broader habitat areas rather than 

thin corridors if connecting distant 

populations is a goal.’’ 

(2) The feasibility of delineating all 

existing forested areas that is suitable 

for smaller scale movements that occur 

during immigration and emigration 

between existing populations. Anderson 

(1997, p. 74 via T. Edwards, USFWS, 

personal communication) found that 

bears would travel along ‘‘tree-lined 

ditches’’ that were as narrow as 16 ft (5 

m) in width. Delineation of such small 

linkages (which are often abundant and 

sinuous) that provide connectivity 

between existing populations is not 

technically feasible. 

(3) The presence of existing landscape 

features, such as large water bodies, and 

State and Federal highways. Placing 

critical habitat boundaries along large 

landscape features is preferable because 

those features often affect or direct bear 

movements (i.e., form the actual 

boundary of such movements) and 

because large landscape features can be 

clearly defined for regulatory purposes. 

We re-assessed the boundaries of all 

three critical habitat units based on 

comments received on our original 

proposal, additional data acquired 

subsequent to that proposal, and the 

original data used in the proposal (73 

FR 25354; May 6, 2008) which includes: 

occurrence data for the Louisiana black 

bear (LDWF, the Service, Louisiana 

State University, and the University of 

Tennessee); 1998, 2004, 2005, and 2007 

digital raster and digital orthophoto 

quarter-quadrangles (DOQQ); and 

1:24,000 scale digital raster graphics 

(DRG) of the USGS topographic 

quadrangles. 

The nature of the landscape within 

Unit 1 (i.e., heavily fragmented forests) 

significantly reduces the latitude in 

delineating that boundary because it 

necessitates the inclusion of virtually all 

remnant forests to ensure that sufficient 

habitat (i.e., breeding habitat and 

corridors) is incorporated within the 

critical habitat boundary. Based on 

comments received regarding our May 

6, 2008 proposal (73 FR 25354), we 

evaluated the potential for increasing 

the width of Unit 1 particularly in the 

corridor areas between breeding 

populations. Our evaluation concluded 

that increasing the unit width in this 

region would incorporate primarily 

agricultural fields and virtually no 

additional forested habitat. Including 

additional agricultural areas within the 

critical habitat boundary would not be 

beneficial because those areas do not 

contain features essential to the 

conservation of the subspecies. 

Accordingly, the boundary of Unit 1 has 

not been modified from our proposal. 

The landscape in the northern portion 

of Unit 2 resembles that of Unit 1 in 

regard to forest fragmentation, and 

provides similar limitations in 

delineating critical habitat. The 

southern portion of Unit 2, however, 

traverses the ARB and presented a 

distinctive challenge in determining the 

placement of boundaries through an 

expansive (over 600,000 ac [242,812 ha]) 

and virtually uninterrupted forested 

system. The ARB, from U.S. Interstate 

10 along its northern boundary to U.S. 

Highway 90 along its southern 

boundary, does not support reproducing 

females. We used the original geospatial 

data sets from our previous proposal, 

and employed additional data to 

determine the areas within the ARB that 

would most likely facilitate bear 

movement between those two 

populations. That newer data included 

Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) 

Data, classified digital Landsat imagery, 

and Louisiana black bear habitat 

selection preference data. 

LIDAR data is derived from a remote 

sensing system that is used by the 

National Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration and National 

Aeronautics and Space Administration 

(NASA). Data are collected from a 

transceiver, which is mounted to a fixed 

wing aircraft that sends and receives 

laser pulses along the surface of the 

earth (http://www.csc.noaa.gov/ 

products/sccoasts/html/tutlid.htm). The 

final product is a set of longitude, 

latitude, and elevation positions for 

every data point, from which a digital 

elevational model of ground surface can 

be generated. LIDAR point data are 

available for the entire ARB and were 

used to identify higher elevations that 

would be generally more conducive to 

bear usage (particularly for travel 

between existing populations). 

The Landsat Program uses satellites to 

capture moderate resolution remotesensing data of the earth’s surface. 

Digital Landsat imagery is the product 

of that program, and is jointly managed 

by NASA and the U.S. Geological 

Survey (USGS). Several Landsat images 

for the ARB have been preliminarily 

classified into categories of land and 

water by the USGS—National Wetlands 

Research Center (Allen et al. 2008). The 

classification approach taken by Allen 

et al. (2008) in their ongoing study uses 

a tasseled cap (TCAP) transformation to 

reduce the original Landsat data to three 

transformed bands of brightness, 

greenness, and wetness. Images taken at 

many different river stages are classified 

into areas of land and water and are 

then used to demonstrate the range of 

expected inundation with changing 

river stages. We compared ARB 

inundation and dry land prevalence at 

a variety of river stages with the 

probability of exceedance of those river 

stages during each month of the year 

based on stage duration curves that we 

developed from the Corps’ Atchafalaya 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 45 / Tuesday, March 10, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 10367 

River gauge data. Through that 

comparison, we were able to use images 

that were classified at known river 

stages to temporally evaluate ARB land 

that could provide suitable travel and 

dispersal corridors for bears (i.e., that 

would not be inundated), especially 

during the period when dispersal would 

be most likely to occur. 

Wagner (2003) developed a 

landscape-scaled habitat selection 

function for two Louisiana black bear 

populations (Upper and Lower ARB) 

using telemetry data and classified 

Landsat imagery. He used a TCAP 

transformation, as described above for 

the USGS study, to classify Landsat 

imagery. Bear habitat selections were 

evaluated based on a comparison of that 

classification to known telemetry 

locations. Bear habitat preferences 

within the ARB are not known because 

very few bears, if any, permanently 

reside within that system. The result of 

Wagner’s (2003) study was the 

development of a GIS-based model that 

predicts bear habitat preferences 

throughout the ARB, using classified 

imagery and known telemetry locations 

from the two ARB subpopulations. 

Based on our evaluation of these three 

data sets, we determined that the 

boundary of Unit 2 sufficiently 

incorporates the best available science 

and was correctly delineated as shown 

in our May 6, 2008, proposal (73 FR 

25354). Based on comments we received 

regarding that proposal, we also 

evaluated the potential for increasing 

the width of the southern boundary of 

Unit 2, where it connects to Unit 3. 

However, similar to the constraints 

noted for Unit 1, the prevalence of 

agriculture and urban development in 

this region of the State precludes the 

incorporation of additional forested 

habitat in the southernmost extent of 

Unit 2. We have determined that it 

would not be beneficial or justifiable to 

incorporate large agricultural and urban 

expanses within the critical habitat 

boundary as those lands do not contain 

features essential to the conservation of 

the subspecies. Accordingly, the 

boundary of Unit 2 has not been 

modified from our May 6, 2008, 

proposed rule. 

We have made relatively minor 

revisions to the Unit 3 boundary based 

on a reevaluation of the information and 

data used in our proposal (73 FR 25354). 

The result is a boundary that more 

accurately reflects telemetry data and 

known breeding habitat, and that 

minimizes the inclusion of areas that do 

not contain PCEs for the Louisiana black 

bear. Areas that have been removed 

from the previously proposed boundary 

include urban development, agricultural 

land, and poor-quality non-PCE habitats 

such as marsh and semi-permanently 

inundated swamps that do not link 

higher quality habitats. Although we are 

reporting a decrease in the overall 

acreage of Unit 3, removal of those areas 

has not reduced the extent habitat 

containing the PCEs in this unit. 

All areas designated as critical habitat 

contain the physical and biological 

features essential to the conservation of 

the subspecies and either: (1) Currently 

support a breeding population of 

Louisiana black bears; or (2) function as 

corridors to maintain movement 

between core populations. We have 

determined that those areas are 

sufficient to conserve the Louisiana 

black bear. 

When determining the critical habitat 

boundaries for this final rule, we made 

every effort to avoid including 

developed areas such as lands covered 

by buildings, pavement, and other 

structures because such lands lack the 

PCEs for the Louisiana black bear. The 

scale of the maps we prepared under the 

parameters for publication within the 

Code of Federal Regulations may not 

reflect the exclusion of such developed 

lands. Any such structures and the land 

under them inadvertently left inside 

critical habitat boundaries shown on the 

maps of this critical habitat rule have 

been excluded by text in this final rule. 

Therefore, a Federal action involving 

these lands would not trigger section 7 

consultation with respect to critical 

habitat and the requirement of no 

adverse modification unless the specific 

action may affect adjacent critical 

habitat. 

Final Critical Habitat Designation 

We are designating three units as 

critical habitat for the Louisiana black 

bear. The critical habitat areas described 

below constitute our best assessment at 

this time of areas that meet the 

definition of critical habitat. Those three 

areas are: (1) Tensas River Basin, (2) 

Upper Atchafalaya River Basin, and (3) 

Lower Atchafalaya River Basin. 

Table 1 shows both the lands 

designated as critical habitat and the 

lands being excluded from critical 

habitat under section 4(b)(2) of the Act. 

Table 2 summarizes the areas that meet 

the definition of critical habitat for the 

Louisiana black bear and areas 

designated as critical habitat by land 

ownership (Table 2).

Unit Descriptions 

Unit 1: Tensas River Basin 

Unit 1 consists of 628,505 ac (254,347 

ha) of Federal, State, and privately 

owned lands in the Tensas River Basin. 

It includes portions of Avoyelles, East 

Carroll, Catahoula, Concordia, Franklin, 

Madison, Richland, Tensas, West 

Carroll, and West Feliciana Parishes. 

Portions of this land that meet the 

definition of critical habitat in this area 

(48,751 ac (19,729 ha)) are enrolled 

under permanent easements in the 

WRP. We excluded those lands from 

critical habitat because we determined 

the benefits of excluding these lands 

outweigh the benefits of including these 

lands in a critical habitat designation. 

Furthermore, exclusion of these lands 

will not result in the extinction of this 

subspecies (see Table 1 and ‘‘Exclusions 

Under Section 4(b)(2) of the Act’’ 

section of this final rule for a detailed 

discussion of this exclusion). 

This unit was occupied at the time of 

listing and currently provides breeding 

and corridor habitat for the Louisiana 

black bear. The perimeter of the 

northern portion of Unit 1 

approximately coincides with the 

boundaries of the Deltic Timber tracts, 

TRNWR, and Big Lake Wildlife 

Management Area (WMA). The 

perimeter of the southern portion of 

Unit 1 is bounded primarily by the Red 

River WMA and Three Rivers 

Management Area on the north and east; 

by the Red River, Bayou Jeansonne, and 

Bayou des Glaises on the west; and by 

the Lower Old River on the south. 

The central portion of this unit serves 

as a corridor and extends from the south 

boundaries of Big Lake WMA and 

TRNWR in Franklin and Tensas 

Parishes, to the north boundary of Red 

River WMA in Concordia Parish. The 

Tensas River and Bayou Cocodrie form 

most of the western boundary of that 

corridor. The eastern boundary of that 

corridor includes the east property 

boundary of Buckhorn Wildlife WMA, 

and Louisiana State Highways 573, 566, 

and 15. This area contains features 

essential to the conservation of the 

Louisiana black bear because it serves as 

a corridor to maintain habitat linkages 

for immigration and emigration between 

the existing breeding populations at the 

northern and southern extents of this 

unit. Two of the three recovery criteria 

listed in the Louisiana black bear 

recovery plan (USFWS 1995, p. 14) 

specifically state that the eventual 

delisting of the Louisiana black bear is 

contingent upon the establishment 

(where absent) and long-term 

maintenance of such corridors. 

According to Clark (1999, p. 111), the 

stability and long-term viability of 

disjunct populations may be precluded 

in the absence of such corridors. 

A significant portion of Unit 1 occurs 

within State and federally owned or 

managed lands that include TRNWR 

(68,909 ac (27,886 ha)), Big Lake WMA 

(19,587 ac (7,927 ha)), Buckhorn WMA 

(11,238 ac (4,548 ha)), Bayou Cocodrie 

NWR (13,638 ac (5,519 ha)), Lake 

Ophelia NWR (17,408 ac (7,045 ha)), 

Red River WMA (43,570 ac (17,632 ha)), 

Three Rivers WMA (29,863 ac (12,085 

ha)), and Grassy Lake WMA (13,214 ac 

(5,348 ha)). Habitat restoration within 

Unit 1 has been primarily accomplished 

through the WRP, which is 

administered by the NRCS, and through 

a major carbon sequestration/habitat 

restoration project, initiated by Entergy 

Corporation, the Trust for Public Land, 

Environmental Synergy, Inc., and the 

Service. Since the Louisiana black bear 

was listed as a threatened subspecies in 

1992, approximately 53,487 ac (21,645 

ha) of marginal agricultural land has 

been restored in this unit as a result of 

the WRP program; the program includes 

perpetual protection through 

conservation easements for most such 

tracts. The State of Louisiana has 

purchased 2,420 ac (979 ha) of Wetland 

Reserve Program lands as an addition to 

the BuckhornWMA. As part of an 

ongoing carbon sequestration initiative, 

approximately 10,000 acres of marginal 

agricultural land are planned for 

purchase, reforestation, and transfer to 

the Service as an addition to the 

TRNWR. The first phase of this project 

was completed in 2005, and involved 

reforestation of 2,900 ac (1,174 ha) of 

land that were added to the TRNWR. 

Unit 1 contains PCEs 1 and 2. Threats 

to this subspecies and its habitat that 

may require special management of the 

physical and biological features 

essential for the conservation of the 

subspecies in this unit include 

continued habitat fragmentation (from 

such sources as hydrocarbon 

exploration and production, 

transportation development, agricultural 

activities, and urban sprawl), and 

human-induced mortality (such as 

poaching, vehicle strikes, and nuisance 

abatement activities) which is 

exacerbated by habitat fragmentation. 

Unit 2: Upper Atchafalaya River Basin 

Unit 2 consists of 433,680 ac (175,504 

ha) of Federal, State, and privately 

owned lands in the Upper Atchafalaya 

River Basin. It includes portions of 

Iberia, Iberville, Pointe Coupee, St. 

Martin, and St. Mary Parishes. Portions 

of this land that meet the definition of 

critical habitat in this area (1,547 ac 

(626 ha)) are enrolled under permanent 

easements in the WRP. We excluded 

those lands from critical habitat because 

we determined the benefits of excluding 

these lands outweigh the benefits of 

including these lands in a critical 

habitat designation. Furthermore, 

exclusion of these lands will not result 

in the extinction of this subspecies (see 

Table 1 and ‘‘Exclusions Under Section 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 45 / Tuesday, March 10, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 10369 

4(b)(2) of the Act’’ section of this final 

rule for a detailed discussion of this 

exclusion). 

This unit was occupied at the time of 

listing and currently supports breeding 

and corridor habitat for the Louisiana 

black bear. The northern half of Unit 2 

is bounded primarily by Louisiana 

Highway 1 on the north, Louisiana 

Highway 1 and the East Atchafalaya 

Basin Flood Protection Levee on the 

east, the Atchafalaya River on the west, 

and U.S. Interstate 10 on the south. The 

southern portion extends from U.S. 

Interstate 10 in St. Martin Parish to U.S. 

Highway 90 in St. Mary Parish. Its east 

and west boundaries approximately 

follow the West Atchafalaya Basin 

Flood Protection Levee and the 

Atchafalaya River, respectively. The 

southern portion of Unit 2 serves as a 

corridor to maintain immigration and 

emigration between the existing core 

breeding populations in Unit 3 and in 

the northern half of this unit. Two of the 

three recovery criteria listed in the 

Louisiana black bear recovery plan 

(USFWS 1995, p. 14) specifically state 

that the eventual delisting of the 

Louisiana black bear is contingent upon 

the establishment (where absent) and 

long-term maintenance of such 

corridors. According to Clark (1999, p. 

111), the stability and long-term 

viability of disjunct populations may be 

precluded in the absence of such 

corridors. 

Portions of Unit 2 occur within State 

and federally owned and managed lands 

that include Atchafalaya NWR (15,762 

ac (6,379 ha)), Bayou Teche NWR (3 ac 

(1 ha)), Sherburne WMA and the 

adjacent (State-managed) Corps-owned 

Bayou Des Ourses Area (29,883 ac 

(12,093 ha)), and Attakapas Island WMA 

(26,819 ac (10,854 ha)). Habitat 

restoration within Unit 2 has been 

relatively limited and primarily 

accomplished through the WRP 

program. Approximately 1,550 ac (627 

ha) of marginal agricultural land has 

been restored in this unit as a result of 

that program; the program includes 

perpetual protection through 

conservation easements for most such 

tracts. 

Unit 2 contains PCEs 1 and 2. Threats 

to the Louisiana black bear and its 

habitat that may require special 

management of the physical and 

biological features essential for the 

conservation of the subspecies in this 

unit include continued habitat 

fragmentation (from such sources as 

hydrocarbon exploration and 

production, transportation 

development, agricultural activities, and 

urban sprawl), and human-induced 

mortality (such as poaching, vehicle 

strikes, and nuisance abatement 

activities), which is exacerbated by 

habitat fragmentation. 

Unit 3: Lower Atchafalaya River Basin 

Unit 3 consists of 133,636 ac (54,080 

ha) of Federal, State, and privately 

owned lands in the Lower Atchafalaya 

River Basin. It lies south of U.S. 

Highway 90 (Hwy. 90) in Iberia and St. 

Mary Parishes. This unit was occupied 

at the time of listing by the Louisiana 

black bear and currently supports 

breeding habitat. 

In addition to bottomland hardwood 

forests, bears within this unit also 

utilize upland hardwood habitats 

associated with four salt domes (Avery, 

Cote Blanche, Weeks Islands, and Belle 

Isle) and coastal marshes adjacent to 

those forests. The vast majority of Unit 

3 is privately owned, with the exception 

of 7,440 ac ( 3,011 ha) of the Bayou 

Teche NWR, which is unique in that it 

is the only National Wildlife Refuge 

established specifically for the 

conservation of the Louisiana black 

bear. The boundaries of Unit 3 

approximately coincide with U.S. 

Highway 90 to the north; Avery Island 

to the west; the Gulf Intracoastal 

Waterway (GIWW) to the south; then 

southeast along Big Wax Bayou, 

southeast of Belle Isle; then northeast 

along Big Lacassine Bayou to the GIWW; 

then east along the GIWW; then 

southeast along Hog Bayou; then 

northeast along the Wax Lake Outlet to 

the GIWW; and then east to the Lower 

Atchafalaya River. 

A significant acreage of bottomland 

hardwood forests in private ownership 

not associated with the four salt domes 

is flood-protected via levees, manmade 

ditches, and pumps. Those flood 

protection features have caused such 

forests to lose their wetland 

classification and associated regulatory 

protection under the Clean Water Act 

(33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.). Subsequently, 

there is continual development along 

the Hwy. 90 corridor within Unit 3, 

most of which is not subject to Federal 

regulation. The Federal Highway 

Administration and the Louisiana 

Department of Transportation have 

proposed an upgrade of U.S. Highway 

90, within this unit, to Interstate 

Highway System standards as an 

extension of U.S. Interstate Highway 49. 

Unit 3 contains PCE 1. Threats to this 

subspecies and its habitat that may 

require special management of the 

physical and biological features 

essential for the conservation of the 

subspecies in this unit include 

continued habitat fragmentation (from 

such sources as hydrocarbon 

exploration and production, 

transportation development, agricultural 

activities, and urban sprawl), and 

human-induced mortality (such as 

poaching, vehicle strikes, and nuisance 

abatement activities), which is 

exacerbated by habitat fragmentation. 

Effects of Critical Habitat Designation 

Section 7 Consultation 

Section 7(a)(2) of the Act requires 

Federal agencies, including the Service, 

to ensure that actions they fund, 

authorize, or carry out are not likely to 

destroy or adversely modify critical 

habitat. Decisions by the Fifth and 

Ninth Circuits Court of Appeals have 

invalidated our definition of 

‘‘destruction or adverse modification’’ 

(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, 245 F.3d 434, 442 (5th 

Cir. 2001)), and we do not rely on this 

regulatory definition when analyzing 

whether an action is likely to destroy or 

adversely modify critical habitat. Under 

the statutory provisions of the Act, we 

determine destruction or adverse 

modification on the basis of 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 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 the species or to 

destroy or adversely modify its critical 

habitat. 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, 

we document compliance with the 

requirements of section 7(a)(2) through 

our 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 are likely to adversely affect 

listed species or critical habitat. 

When we issue a biological opinion 

concluding that a project is likely to 

jeopardize the continued existence of a 

listed species or destroy or adversely 

modify critical habitat, we also provide 

reasonable and prudent alternatives to 

the project, if any are identifiable. We 

define ‘‘Reasonable and prudent 

alternatives’’ at 50 CFR 402.02 as 

10370 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 45 / Tuesday, March 10, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 

alternative actions identified during 

consultation that: 

• Can be implemented in a manner 

consistent with the intended purpose of 

the action, 

• Can be implemented consistent 

with the scope of the Federal agency’s 

legal authority and jurisdiction, 

• Are economically and 

technologically feasible, and 

• Would, in the Director’s opinion, 

avoid jeopardizing the continued 

existence of the listed species or 

destroying or adversely modifying 

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 instances where we have 

listed a new species or subsequently 

designated critical habitat that may be 

affected and the Federal agency has 

retained discretionary involvement or 

control over the action (or the agency’s 

discretionary involvement or control is 

authorized by law). Consequently, 

Federal agencies may sometimes need to 

request reinitiation of consultation with 

us on actions for which formal 

consultation has been completed, if 

those actions with discretionary 

involvement or control may affect 

subsequently listed species or 

designated critical habitat. 

Federal activities that may affect the 

Louisiana black bear 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 (33 U.S.C. 1251 

et seq.) or a permit from us under 

section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Act) or 

involving some other Federal action 

(such as funding from the Federal 

Highway Administration, Federal 

Aviation Administration, or the Federal 

Emergency Management Agency) are 

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(a)(2) consultations. 

Application of the ‘‘Adverse 

Modification’’ Standard 

The key factor related to the adverse 

modification determination is whether, 

with implementation of the proposed 

Federal action, the affected critical 

habitat would continue to serve its 

intended conservation role for the 

species, or would retain its current 

ability for the primary constituent 

elements to be functionally established. 

Activities that may destroy or adversely 

modify critical habitat are those that 

alter the PCEs to an extent that 

appreciably reduces the conservation 

value of critical habitat for the Louisiana 

black bear. Generally, the conservation 

role of Louisiana black bear critical 

habitat units is to maintain the viability 

of existing reproducing populations and 

to ensure the demographic vigor and 

genetic variability of existing 

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 those activities that may be 

affected by such designation. 

Activities that, when carried out, 

funded, or authorized by a Federal 

agency, may affect critical habitat and 

therefore should result in consultation 

for the Louisiana black bear include, but 

are not limited to: 

(1) Actions that would reduce the 

extent of habitat available for 

population maintenance or expansion or 

that would negatively alter the function 

of forested corridors, which facilitate 

genetic exchange between existing 

populations, through the permanent 

conversion or fragmentation of those 

forested habitats. Such activities could 

include, but are not limited to, initiation 

or expansion of agricultural operations; 

hydrocarbon exploration and 

development; commercial, industrial, 

and residential development; flood 

control projects that involve clearing of 

woody vegetation on Corps’ flowage 

easement lands; and other activities that 

would require the permanent removal or 

fragmentation of forested wetlands. 

(2) Actions that would create 

significant barriers to movement both 

within and among existing populations. 

Those activities could reduce the 

availability of habitat for foraging, 

denning, escape, reproduction, and 

sheltering within populations, and 

severely limit or prevent dispersal and 

genetic exchange among populations. 

Such actions could include, but are not 

limited to road construction, large-scale 

or wide-ranging development, and 

flood-control projects that would result 

in barriers that are impermeable to 

bears. 

(3) Actions performed by the Corps 

that would result in significant habitat 

losses on their flowage easement lands 

within the Atchafalaya River Basin. 

Those activities could include largescale, temporary clearing of all woody 

vegetation on easement lands to 

facilitate drainage of the Mississippi and 

Atchafalaya Rivers during 

extraordinarily high water periods. Such 

activities could temporarily eliminate 

habitat for foraging, denning, escape, 

reproduction, and sheltering within 

populations occurring in Unit 2, and 

severely limit or prevent dispersal and 

genetic exchange between populations 

within Units 2 and 3. 

Exemptions 

Application of Section 4(a)(3) of the Act 

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 an 

integrated natural resources 

management plan (INRMP) by 

November 17, 2001. 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.’’ 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 45 / Tuesday, March 10, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 10371 

There are no Department of Defense 

lands with a completed INRMP within 

the critical habitat designation. 

Exclusions 

Application of Section 4(b)(2) of the Act 

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

the Secretary must designate and revise 

critical habitat 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 he determines that the 

benefits of such exclusion outweigh the 

benefits of specifying such area as part 

of the critical habitat, unless 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 legislative history is clear that the 

Secretary has broad discretion regarding 

which factor(s) to use and how much 

weight to give to any factor. 

Under section 4(b)(2) of the Act, 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, and determine whether the 

benefits of exclusion outweigh the 

benefits of inclusion. If based on this 

analysis we determine that the benefits 

of exclusion outweigh the benefits of 

inclusion, then we can exclude the area 

only if such exclusion would not result 

in the extinction of the species. 

In the following sections, we address 

a number of general issues that are 

relevant to the exclusions considered in 

the final rule. 

Benefits of Designating Critical Habitat 

The process of designating critical 

habitat as described in the Act requires 

that the Service identify those lands on 

which are found the physical or 

biological features essential to the 

conservation of the species that may 

require special management 

considerations or protection, and those 

areas outside the geographical area 

occupied by the species at the time of 

listing that are essential to the 

conservation of the species. In 

identifying those lands, the Service 

must consider the recovery needs of the 

species, such that, on the basis of the 

best scientific and commercial data 

available at the time of designation, the 

habitat that is identified, if managed or 

protected, could provide for the survival 

and recovery of the species. 

The identification of those areas that 

are essential for the conservation of the 

species and can, if managed, provide for 

the recovery of a species is beneficial. 

The process of proposing and finalizing 

a critical habitat rule provides the 

Service with the opportunity to 

determine the physical and biological 

features essential for conservation of the 

species within the geographical area 

occupied by the species at the time of 

listing, as well as to determine other 

areas essential to the conservation of the 

species. The designation process 

includes peer review and public 

comment on the identified physical and 

biological features and areas. This 

process is valuable to land owners and 

managers in developing conservation 

management plans for identified areas, 

as well as any other occupied habitat or 

suitable habitat that may not be 

included in the Service’s determination 

of essential habitat. 

The consultation provisions under 

section 7(a)(2) of the Act constitute the 

regulatory benefits of critical habitat. As 

discussed above, Federal agencies must 

consult with us on actions that may 

affect critical habitat and must avoid 

destroying or adversely modifying 

critical habitat. Federal agencies must 

also consult with us on actions that may 

affect a listed species and refrain from 

undertaking actions that are likely to 

jeopardize the continued existence of 

the species. The analysis of effects to 

critical habitat is a separate and 

different analysis from that of the effects 

to the species. Therefore, the difference 

in outcomes of these two analyses 

represents the regulatory benefit of 

critical habitat. For some species, and in 

some locations, the outcome of these 

analyses will be similar, because effects 

on habitat will often result in effects on 

the species. However, the regulatory 

standard is different, as the jeopardy 

analysis looks at the action’s impact on 

survival and recovery of the species and 

the adverse modification analysis looks 

at the action’s effects on the designated 

habitat’s contribution to the species’ 

conservation. This will, in many 

instances, lead to different results and 

different regulatory requirements. Thus, 

critical habitat designations may 

provide greater regulatory benefits to the 

recovery of a species than would listing 

alone. 

There are two limitations to the 

regulatory effect of critical habitat. First, 

a consultation is required only where 

there is a Federal nexus (an action 

authorized, funded, or carried out by 

any Federal agency)—if there is no 

Federal nexus, the critical habitat 

designation of private lands itself does 

not restrict actions that destroy or 

adversely modify critical habitat. 

Second, the designation only limits 

destruction or adverse modification. By 

its nature, the prohibition on adverse 

modification is designed to ensure that 

the conservation role and function of 

those areas that contain the physical 

and biological features essential to the 

conservation of the species or of 

unoccupied areas that are essential to 

the conservation of the species are not 

appreciably reduced as the result of a 

Federal action. Critical habitat 

designation alone, however, does not 

require private property owners to 

undertake specific steps toward 

recovery of the species. Once an agency 

determines that consultation under 

section 7(a)(2) of the Act is necessary, 

the process may conclude informally 

when the Service concurs in writing 

that the proposed Federal action is not 

likely to adversely affect critical habitat. 

However, if we determine through 

informal consultation that adverse 

impacts are likely to occur, then formal 

consultation is initiated. Formal 

consultation concludes with a biological 

opinion issued by the Service on 

whether the proposed Federal action is 

likely to result in destruction or adverse 

modification of critical habitat. 

As stated above, the designation of 

critical habitat does not require that any 

management or recovery actions take 

place on the lands included in the 

designation. Even in cases where 

consultation is initiated under section 

7(a)(2) of the Act, the end result of 

consultation is to avoid jeopardy to the 

species or adverse modification of its 

critical habitat or both, but not 

necessarily to manage critical habitat or 

institute recovery actions on critical 

habitat. Conversely, voluntary 

conservation efforts implemented 

through management plans institute 

proactive actions over the lands they 

encompass and are put in place to 

remove or reduce known threats to a 

species or its habitat; they therefore 

implement recovery actions. We believe 

that in many instances the regulatory 

benefit of critical habitat is low when 

compared to the conservation benefit 

that can be achieved through 

implementing habitat conservation 

plans (HCPs) under section 10 of the Act 

or other voluntary conservation efforts 

or management plans. The conservation 

achieved through such plans is typically 

greater than what we achieve through 

multiple site-by-site or project-byproject section 7 consultations involving 

consideration of critical habitat. 

Management plans commit resources to 

implement long-term management and 

protection for particular habitat for at 

10372 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 45 / Tuesday, March 10, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 

least one and possibly other listed or 

sensitive species. Section 7 

consultations only commit Federal 

agencies to preventing adverse 

modification of critical habitat caused 

by the particular project, and they are 

not committed to provide conservation 

or long-term benefits to areas not 

affected by the proposed action. Thus, 

implementation of an HCP, voluntary 

conservation action, or management 

plan that incorporates enhancement or 

recovery as the management standard 

may often provide as much or more 

benefit than a consultation for critical 

habitat designation. 

Another benefit of including lands in 

critical habitat is that designation of 

critical habitat serves to educate 

landowners, State and local 

governments, and the public regarding 

the potential conservation value of an 

area. This helps focus and promote 

conservation efforts by other parties by 

clearly delineating areas of high 

conservation value for the Louisiana 

black bear. In general, critical habitat 

designation always has educational 

benefits; however, in some cases, they 

may be redundant with other 

educational effects. For example, HCPs 

have significant public input and may 

largely duplicate the educational 

benefits of a critical habitat designation. 

Including lands in critical habitat also 

informs State agencies and local 

governments about areas that could be 

conserved under State laws or local 

ordinances. 

Conservation Partnerships on NonFederal Lands 

Most federally listed species in the 

United States will not recover without 

cooperation of non-Federal landowners. 

More than 60 percent of the United 

States is privately owned (National 

Wilderness Institute 1995), and at least 

80 percent of endangered or threatened 

species occur either partially or solely 

on private lands (Crouse et al. 2002). 

Stein et al. (1995) found that only about 

12 percent of listed species were found 

almost exclusively on Federal lands (90 

to 100 percent of their known 

occurrences restricted to Federal lands) 

and that 50 percent of federally listed 

species are not known to occur on 

Federal lands at all. 

Given the distribution of listed 

species with respect to land ownership, 

conservation of listed species in many 

parts of the United States is dependent 

upon working partnerships with a wide 

variety of entities and the voluntary 

cooperation of many non-Federal 

landowners (Wilcove and Chen 1998; 

Crouse et al. 2002; James 2002). 

Building partnerships and promoting 

voluntary cooperation of landowners are 

essential to understanding the status of 

species on non-Federal lands, and 

necessary for us to implement recovery 

actions such as reintroducing listed 

species, habitat restoration, and habitat 

protection. 

Many non-Federal landowners derive 

satisfaction from contributing to 

endangered species recovery. We 

promote these private-sector efforts 

through the Department of the Interior’s 

Cooperative Conservation philosophy. 

Conservation agreements with nonFederal landowners (HCPs, safe harbor 

agreements, other conservation 

agreements, easements, and State and 

local regulations) enhance species 

conservation by extending species 

protections beyond those available 

through section 7 consultations. In the 

past decade, we have encouraged nonFederal landowners to enter into 

conservation agreements, based on a 

view that we can achieve greater species 

conservation on non-Federal land 

through such partnerships than we can 

through regulatory methods (61 FR 

63854; December 2, 1996). 

Many private landowners, however, 

are wary of the possible consequences of 

encouraging endangered species to their 

property, and there is mounting 

evidence that some regulatory actions 

by the Federal Government, while wellintentioned and required by law, can 

(under certain circumstances) have 

unintended negative consequences for 

the conservation of species on private 

lands (Wilcove et al. 1996; Bean 2002; 

Conner and Mathews 2002; James 2002; 

Koch 2002; Brook et al. 2003). Many 

landowners fear a decline in their 

property value due to real or perceived 

restrictions on land-use options where 

threatened or endangered species are 

found. Consequently, harboring 

endangered species is viewed by many 

landowners as a liability. This 

perception results in anti-conservation 

incentives because maintaining habitats 

that harbor endangered species 

represents a risk to future economic 

opportunities (Main et al. 1999; Brook et 

al. 2003). 

According to some researchers, the 

designation of critical habitat on private 

lands significantly reduces the 

likelihood that landowners will support 

and carry out conservation actions 

(Main et al. 1999; Bean 2002; Brook et 

al. 2003). The magnitude of this 

negative outcome is greatly amplified in 

situations where active management 

measures (such as reintroduction, fire 

management, and control of invasive 

species) are necessary for species 

conservation (Bean 2002). We believe 

that the judicious exclusion of specific 

areas of non-federally owned lands from 

critical habitat designations can 

contribute to species recovery and 

provide a superior level of conservation 

than critical habitat alone. 

The purpose of designating critical 

habitat is to contribute to the 

conservation of threatened and 

endangered species and the ecosystems 

upon which they depend. The outcome 

of the designation, triggering regulatory 

requirements for actions funded, 

authorized, or carried out by Federal 

agencies under section 7(a)(2) of the 

Act, can sometimes be 

counterproductive to its intended 

purpose on non-Federal lands. Thus the 

benefits of excluding areas that are 

covered by partnerships or voluntary 

conservation efforts can often be high. 

Benefits of Excluding Lands With 

Approved Management Plans 

The benefits of excluding lands with 

approved long-term management plans 

from critical habitat designation include 

relieving landowners, communities, and 

counties of any additional regulatory 

burden that might be imposed by 

critical habitat. Many conservation 

plans take years to develop, and upon 

completion, are consistent with 

recovery objectives for listed species 

that are covered within the plan area. 

Many also provide conservation benefits 

to unlisted sensitive species. Our 

experience in implementing the Act has 

found that designation of critical habitat 

within the boundaries of management 

plans that provide conservation 

measures for a species is a disincentive 

to many entities which are either 

currently developing such plans, or 

contemplating doing so in the future, 

because one of the incentives for 

undertaking conservation is greater ease 

of permitting where listed species will 

be affected. Addition of a new 

regulatory requirement would remove a 

significant incentive for undertaking the 

time and expense of management 

planning. In fact, designating critical 

habitat for species in areas covered by 

a conservation plan could result in the 

loss of some species’ benefits if 

participants abandon the planning 

process in part because of the strength 

of the perceived additional regulatory 

compliance that such designation would 

entail. The time and cost of regulatory 

compliance for a critical habitat 

designation do not have to be quantified 

for them to be perceived as additional 

Federal regulatory burden sufficient to 

discourage continued participation in 

developing plans targeting listed 

species’ conservation. 

A related benefit of excluding lands 

covered by approved management plans 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 45 / Tuesday, March 10, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 10373 

from critical habitat designation is the 

unhindered, continued ability it gives 

us to seek new partnerships with future 

plan participants, including States, 

counties, local jurisdictions, 

conservation organizations, and private 

landowners, which together can 

implement conservation actions that we 

would be unable to accomplish 

otherwise. Designating lands within 

approved management plan areas as 

critical habitat would likely have a 

negative effect on our ability to establish 

new partnerships to develop these 

plans, particularly plans that address 

landscape-level conservation of plant 

species and habitats. By excluding these 

lands, we preserve our current 

partnerships and encourage additional 

conservation actions in the future. 

Furthermore, both HCPs and Natural 

Communities Conservation Plan 

(NCCP)-HCP applications require 

consultation, which would review the 

effects of all HCP-covered activities that 

might adversely impact the species 

under a jeopardy standard, including 

possibly significant habitat 

modification, even without the critical 

habitat designation. Additionally, all 

other Federal actions that may affect the 

listed species still require consultation 

under section 7(a)(2) of the Act, and we 

review these actions for possibly 

significant habitat modification in 

accordance with the jeopardy standard 

under section 7 of the Act. 

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

Act 

We received several public comments 

suggesting we exclude lands enrolled 

under conservation agreements, through 

programs such as NRCS Conservation 

Reserve Program (CRP), Wildlife Habitat 

Improvement Program (WHIP), 

Environmental Quality Incentives 

Program (EQIP), Emergency Watershed 

Program (EWP), and the Service’s 

Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program 

(PFW), from critical habitat designation. 

While we believe that excluding lands 

enrolled in those specific conservation 

agreements may provide benefits in 

terms of maintaining landowner 

cooperation, landowners who enroll in 

those programs are not bound by an 

easement that permanently prohibits 

development or conversion of those 

lands. Instead, landowners sign an 

agreement (generally 10 to 15 years in 

duration) and at the end of that 

agreement those properties may be 

converted to another use. In those 

instances, the protection provided to 

those lands is not significantly different 

from that provided by a critical habitat 

designation under section 7 of the Act 

(i.e., adverse modification or 

destruction). As indicated in our 

response to Comment 24 in the ‘‘Public 

Comments’’ section above we do not 

conclude that the benefits of excluding 

those specific lands outweigh the 

benefits of including them in the 

designation. Therefore, they have not 

been excluded from this designation. 

However, after consideration under 

section 4(b)(2) of the Act, we are 

excluding approximately 50,298 ac 

(20,355 ha) of non-Federal lands in 

Units 1 and 2 enrolled under 

permanent/perpetual easements in the 

NRCS’ WRP from the critical habitat 

designation for the Louisiana black bear. 

We excluded these areas because we 

believe that: 

(1) Their value for conservation will 

be preserved for the foreseeable future 

by existing protective actions; or 

(2) They are appropriate for exclusion 

under the ‘‘other relevant impact’’ 

provisions of section 4(b)(2) of the Act. 

In the paragraphs below, we provide 

a detailed analysis of our exclusion of 

these lands under section 4(b)(2) of the 

Act. 

Permanent Easement Wetland Reserve 

Program Lands—Exclusions Under 

Section 4(b)(2) of the Act 

In reviewing lands enrolled under 

permanent easements under the WRP 

for potential exclusion under section 

4(b)(2) of the Act, we consider (in 

addition to the general partnership 

relationships identified above) whether 

those easements provide for protection 

and appropriate management, if 

necessary, of essential habitat and 

whether the easement incorporates 

conservation management strategies and 

actions consistent with currently 

accepted principles of conservation 

biology. 

The WRP is a voluntary program that 

provides eligible landowners the 

opportunity to address wetland, wildlife 

habitat, soil, water, and related natural 

resource concerns on private lands in an 

environmentally beneficial and costeffective manner. The WRP is 

authorized by 16 U.S.C. 3837 et seq., 

and the implementing regulations are 

found at 7 CFR part 1467. The first and 

foremost emphasis of the WRP is to 

protect, restore, and enhance the 

functions and values of wetland 

ecosystems to attain habitat for 

migratory birds and wetland-dependent 

wildlife, including threatened and 

endangered species. The WRP is 

administered by the NRCS (in 

agreement with the Farm Service 

Agency) and in consultation with the 

Service and other cooperating agencies 

and organizations. The Service 

participates in several ways, including 

assisting NRCS with land eligibility 

determinations; providing the biological 

information for determining 

environmental benefits; assisting in 

restoration planning such that easement 

lands achieve maximum wildlife 

benefits and wetland values and 

functions; and providing 

recommendations regarding the timing, 

duration, and intensity of landownerrequested compatible uses. 

Land that is eligible for enrollment in 

the WRP includes such areas as 

wetlands cleared or drained for farming, 

pasture, or timber production; certain 

adjacent lands that contribute 

significantly to wetland functions and 

values; restored wetlands that need 

long-term protection; and existing or 

restorable riparian habitat corridors that 

connect protected wetlands. Eligible 

land must be restorable and suitable for 

providing wildlife benefits. Thus, the 

WRP provides an incentive for private 

landowners to restore non-productive 

farmland (prior-converted wetlands), 

and in Louisiana the majority of WRP 

land under permanent easement is 

agricultural land that is being restored 

to its original bottomland hardwood 

forest habitat. 

Under the WRP, there are three 

enrollment options available for the 

landowner: (1) Permanent/perpetual 

easement; (2) 30-year easement; and (3) 

restoration cost-share agreement. Under 

the permanent easement option, a 

conservation easement is placed upon 

the enrolled lands for perpetuity. When 

a landowner enrolls in an easement 

option, the landowner is selling a real 

property interest to the United States. 

After the easement is recorded in the 

local lands record office, the landowner 

retains ownership and responsibility for 

the land. The landowner controls access 

to the land; has the right to hunt, fish, 

and pursue other undeveloped 

recreational uses provided such use 

does not impact other prohibitions 

listed in the warranty easement deed; 

and may sell or lease land enrolled in 

the program (NRCS 2007; pp. 1–2). 

Participating landowners may request 

other prohibited uses such as haying, 

grazing, or harvesting timber. When 

evaluating compatible uses, the NRCS 

evaluates whether that proposed use is 

consistent with the long-term protection 

and enhancement of the wetland 

resources for which the easement was 

established and Federal funds 

expended. Requests may be approved if 

the NRCS determines that the activity 

both enhances and protects the 

purposes for which the easement was 

acquired and would not adversely affect 

habitat for migratory birds and 

threatened and endangered species. 

10374 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 45 / Tuesday, March 10, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 

NRCS retains the right to cancel an 

approved compatible use authorization 

at any time if it is deemed necessary to 

protect the functions and values of the 

easement. According to the authorizing 

language (16 U.S.C. 3837a(d)), 

compatible economic uses, including 

forest management, are permitted if 

consistent with the long-term protection 

and enhancement of the wetland 

resources for which the easement was 

established. Should such a modification 

be considered, NRCS would consult 

with the Service prior to making any 

changes. 

Benefits of Inclusion—Permanent 

Easement Wetland Reserve Program 

Lands 

The inclusion of approximately 

48,751 ac (19,729 ha) of land in Unit 1 

and approximately 1,547 ac (626 ha) of 

land in Unit 2 enrolled in a permanent 

easement under the WRP could be 

beneficial because it identifies lands to 

be managed for the conservation and 

recovery of the Louisiana black bear. 

The process of proposing and finalizing 

a critical habitat provided the Service 

with the opportunity to determine the 

physical and biological features, or 

PCEs, essential for conservation of the 

species within the geographical area 

occupied by the species at the time of 

listing, as well as to determine if there 

were other areas essential to the 

conservation of the species. The 

designation process includes peer 

review and public comment on the 

identified features and areas. This 

process is valuable to land owners and 

managers in developing conservation 

management plans for identified areas, 

as well as any other occupied habitat or 

suitable habitat that may not have been 

included in the Service’s determination 

of essential habitat. However, 

identification of important habitat for 

the Louisiana black bear and efforts to 

conserve the subspecies and its habitat 

were initiated in the early 1990s and 

resulted in the development of the 

‘‘Louisiana Black Bear Habitat 

Restoration Planning Maps’’ (HRPM). 

Those maps, developed by a 

collaborative multi-agency and 

organization group, were designed to 

directly address Louisiana black bear 

recovery criteria and designed for use 

with conservation programs (especially 

for the WRP), which encourage 

reforestation of marginal and 

nonproductive cropland in Louisiana. 

Permanent easements under the WRP 

provide substantial protection and 

management for the Louisiana black 

bear and its essential habitat features. In 

contrast, the only regulatory benefit to 

critical habitat designation is through 

the consultation provisions of section 7 

of the Act, for Federal actions that may 

destroy or adversely modify critical 

habitat. Moreover, the educational 

benefits of designation are small and 

largely redundant to those derived 

through conservation efforts already in 

place or underway on the 48,751 ac 

(19,729 ha) of land in Unit 1 and the 

approximately 1,547 ac (626 ha) of land 

in Unit 2 that are protected under the 

WRP permanent easement. The process 

of developing the HRPM since 1992 has 

involved extensive input and the 

involvement of Federal, State, and local 

government partners including (but not 

limited to): NRCS, LDWF, BBCC, 

Louisiana State University, the 

Louisiana Nature Conservancy, and the 

Service. Therefore, the educational 

benefits of designating these private 

lands in Units 1 and 2 as critical habitat 

are minimal. 

The consultation provisions under 

section 7(a) of the Act constitute the 

regulatory benefits of designating lands 

as critical habitat. As discussed above, 

Federal agencies must consult with us 

on actions that may affect critical 

habitat and must avoid destroying or 

adversely modifying critical habitat. 

However, for all of the approximately 

50,298 ac (20,355 ha) of land in Units 

1 and 2 under a WRP permanent 

easement, any changes to the easement 

would be approved only if the NRCS 

determines that the activity both 

enhances and protects the purposes for 

which the easement was acquired. 

Therefore, we do not anticipate a 

regulatory benefit to result from 

designation of those areas as critical 

habitat. 

Benefits of Exclusion—Permanent 

Easement Wetland Reserve Program 

Lands 

In contrast to the lack of an 

appreciable benefit by including these 

lands as critical habitat, their exclusion 

from critical habitat will help preserve 

the partnerships that we have developed 

with the NRCS, other groups and 

agencies, and private landowners 

through the development and use of the 

HRPMs in the implementation of WRP 

permanent easements. At the time of 

listing, approximately one-half of 

Louisiana black bear breeding habitat 

was privately owned (BBCC 1997, p. 

31), making the support and 

participation of private landowners vital 

to this subspecies’ recovery. As 

discussed above, and evident in the 

public comments we received, many 

landowners perceive critical habitat as 

an unfair and unnecessary regulatory 

burden imposed on them for conducting 

an activity that benefits Louisiana black 

bear conservation measures such as 

enrolling in a WRP permanent 

easement. A significant amount of 

habitat restoration specifically designed 

to conserve and recover the Louisiana 

black bear has been accomplished 

through the use of the HRPMs and the 

voluntary cooperation of private 

landowners enrolled in the WRP. 

Since 1992, over 55,000 ac (22,250 ha) 

of private lands have been enrolled in 

the NRCS’ WRP within critical habitat, 

which has benefited Louisiana black 

bear conservation. We have no 

quantitative data to prove that 

landowner enrollment in voluntary 

conservation programs may decrease as 

the result of critical habitat designation. 

We received unfavorable landowner 

responses during the 1993–94 critical 

habitat proposal process when the 

majority of comments received were in 

opposition to the designation, and 

several landowners who had previously 

allowed black bear research activities on 

their lands subsequently denied access 

to researchers and agency personnel. 

Furthermore, the NRCS’ staff and 

managers, who work with private 

landowners on a daily basis, have 

indicated that there would likely be 

negative impacts (real or perceived) to 

voluntary conservation activities on 

private property by designating existing 

and newly created habitat as critical 

habitat and thus could result in a 

significant detrimental effect on future 

voluntary habitat restoration efforts 

(May 29, 2008, meeting with the 

Service). Similarly, comments from 

other professionals (Louisiana 

Department of Wildlife and Fisheries) 

and peer reviewers who interact 

regularly with private landowners, as 

well as comments received from a 

conservation group and landowners 

themselves, have indicated their belief 

that the negative perceptions associated 

with critical habitat designation would 

have detrimental impacts on black bear 

conservation efforts and enrollment in 

voluntary landowner conservation 

programs. In the case of lands enrolled 

under a permanent easement in the 

WRP, those easement restrictions 

provide substantial protection and 

management for the Louisiana black 

bear and its essential habitat features 

above that provided by designation of 

critical habitat, which only precludes 

destruction or adverse modification. 

Finally, landowner enrollment in the 

WRP has been primarily driven by the 

financial incentive provided to them 

through the easement payment and, in 

many instances, a desire to restore the 

land for Louisiana black bears or other 

wildlife. We know of no data that would 

indicate an increase in voluntary 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 45 / Tuesday, March 10, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 10375 

landowner enrollment due to possible 

regulatory restrictions. On the contrary, 

the comments we have received during 

the comments period indicate the 

opposite. 

Benefits of Exclusion Outweigh the 

Benefits of Inclusion—Permanent 

Easement Wetland Reserve Program 

Lands 

We reviewed and evaluated the 

benefits of inclusion and the benefits of 

exclusion of lands enrolled in 

permanent easement under the WRP as 

critical habitat for the Louisiana black 

bear. We found that the benefits of 

inclusion were minimal since 

protections afforded by the WRP 

permanent easements currently provide 

just as much, if not more, protection 

than critical habitat designation would 

provide. We also found substantial 

benefits to excluding these areas, such 

as maintaining non-Federal partnerships 

and providing opportunities for using 

flexible tools for restoration of the 

Louisiana black bear’s habitat. We 

believe the cooperation of private 

landowners to provide access to habitat 

and participate in restoration actions 

would be lost if critical habitat were 

designated on these lands. Based on this 

evaluation, we find that the benefit of 

excluding lands enrolled in permanent 

easement under the WRP lands 

outweighs the benefit of including those 

lands as critical habitat for the 

Louisiana black bear. 

Exclusion Will Not Result in Extinction 

of the Species—Permanent Easement 

Wetland Reserve Program Lands 

Exclusion of these 50,298 ac (20,355 

ha) of non-Federal lands from the final 

designation of critical habitat will not 

result in the extinction of the Louisiana 

black bear because these lands are 

permanently conserved and are, or will 

be, managed for the benefit of this 

subspecies under the terms of the WRP 

permanent easement. The jeopardy 

standard of section 7 of the Act and 

routine implementation of habitat 

protection through the section 7 process 

also provide assurances that the 

subspecies will not go extinct. The 

protections afforded to the Louisiana 

black bear under the jeopardy standard 

will remain in place for the areas 

excluded from critical habitat. 

Economic Analysis 

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

to designate critical habitat on the basis 

of the best scientific information 

available and to consider the economic 

and other relevant impacts of 

designating a particular area as critical 

habitat. Section 4(b)(2) of the Act allows 

the Secretary to exclude areas from 

critical habitat for economic reasons if 

the Secretary determines that the 

benefits of such exclusions outweigh the 

benefits of designating the area as 

critical habitat. However, this exclusion 

cannot occur if it will result in the 

extinction of the species concerned. 

Following the publication of the 

proposed critical habitat designation, 

we conducted an economic analysis to 

estimate the potential economic effect of 

the designation. The draft economic 

analysis (DEA) was made available for 

public review on November 12, 2008 (73 

FR 66831). We accepted comments and 

information on the DEA until December 

12, 2008. Following the close of the 

comment period, a final analysis of the 

potential economic effects of the 

designation (FEA) was developed taking 

into consideration the public comments 

and any new information. 

The primary purpose of the FEA is to 

estimate the potential economic impacts 

associated with the designation of 

critical habitat for the Louisiana black 

bear. This information is intended to 

assist the Secretary in making decisions 

about whether the benefits of excluding 

particular areas from the designation 

outweigh the benefits of including those 

areas in the designation. This economic 

analysis considers the economic 

efficiency effects that may result from 

the designation, including habitat 

protections that may be co-extensive 

with the listing of the species. The 

economic analysis separates the costs 

associated with conservation measures 

and economic impacts that occurred 

pre-designation from those that are 

likely to occur as a result of the 

designation. It also addresses 

distribution of impacts, including an 

assessment of the potential effects on 

small entities and the energy industry. 

The economic analysis separated the 

costs associated with the areas that we 

proposed to exclude from the areas that 

we proposed to designate at the time of 

the May 6, 2008, proposed rule (73 FR 

25354). This information can be used by 

the Secretary to assess whether the 

effects of the designation might unduly 

burden a particular group or economic 

sector. 

The economic analysis focuses on the 

direct and indirect costs of the rule. 

However, economic impacts to land use 

activities can exist in the absence of 

critical habitat. These impacts may 

result from, for example, local zoning 

laws, State and natural resource laws, 

and enforceable management plans and 

best management practices applied by 

other State and Federal agencies. 

Economic impacts that result from these 

types of protections are not included in 

the analysis as they are considered to be 

part of the regulatory and policy 

baseline. 

The economic analysis examines 

activities taking place both within and 

adjacent to the designation. It estimates 

impacts based on activities that are 

‘‘reasonably foreseeable’’ including, but 

not limited to, activities that are 

currently authorized, permitted, or 

funded, or for which proposed plans are 

currently available to the public. 

Accordingly, the analysis bases 

estimates on activities that are likely to 

occur within a 20-year timeframe from 

when the proposed rule became 

available to the public (73 FR 25354; 

May 6, 2008). The 20-year timeframe 

was chosen for the analysis because, as 

the time horizon for an economic 

analysis is expanded, the assumptions 

on which the projected number of 

projects and cost impacts associated 

with those projects become increasingly 

speculative. 

Based on our analysis, we concluded 

that the designation of critical habitat 

would not result in a significant 

economic impact. The present estimated 

value of baseline economic impacts 

associated with Louisiana black bear 

conservation efforts ranged from $68.4 

million to $76.6 million discounted at 3 

percent, or $84.9 million to $97 million 

discounted at 7 percent. The potential 

post-designation incremental economic 

impacts for the next 20 years range from 

$1.5 million to $8.6 million, applying a 

3 percent discount rate, or $1.1 million 

to $6.3 million applying a 7 percent 

discount rate. The range in values of 

incremental costs is a result of the 

uncertainty in forecasting the number of 

new oil and gas wells that are likely to 

be drilled in the next 20 years. 

Economic impacts attributable to 

critical habitat designation (i.e., 

incremental impacts) are associated 

entirely with oil and gas activities. 

Incremental costs were based on 

industry costs associated with the 

modification or relocation of aboveground well sites. 

The post-designation baseline costs 

for the WRP were estimated to be $6.2 

million based on the assumption that 

WRP enrollment would continue at the 

same rate as the past over the next 20 

years. There may be an incremental 

effect of decreased WRP enrollment as 

a result of critical habitat designation for 

the Louisiana black bear; however there 

was insufficient public data to quantify 

that anticipated decrease. 

We do not find the economic costs to 

be significant. Therefore, we have not 

excluded any areas from this 

designation of critical habitat based on 

economic impacts.

Required Determinations 

Regulatory Planning and Review 

The Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) has determined that this rule is 

not significant and has not reviewed 

this rule under Executive Order 12866 

(E.O. 12866). OMB bases its 

determination upon the following four 

criteria: 

(a) Whether the rule will have an 

annual effect of $100 million or more on 

the economy or adversely affect an 

economic sector, productivity, jobs, the 

environment, or other units of the 

government. 

(b) Whether the rule will create 

inconsistencies with other Federal 

agencies’ actions. 

(c) Whether the rule will materially 

affect entitlements, grants, user fees, 

loan programs or the rights and 

obligations of their recipients. 

(d) Whether the rule raises novel legal 

or policy issues. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 

et seq.) 

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act 

(RFA; 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), as amended 

by the Small Business Regulatory 

Enforcement Fairness Act (SBREFA), 

whenever an agency must 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 effect 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 an agency certifies the rule will 

not have a significant economic impact 

on a substantial number of small 

entities. SBREFA amended RFA to 

require Federal agencies to provide a 

certification statement of factual basis 

for certifying that the rule will not have 

a significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. In 

this final rule, we are certifying that the 

critical habitat designation for the 

Louisiana black bear will not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. 

The following discussion explains our 

rationale. 

According to the Small Business 

Administration (SBA), small entities 

include small organizations, such as 

independent nonprofit organizations; 

small governmental jurisdictions, 

including school boards and city and 

town governments that serve fewer than 

50,000 residents; as well as small 

businesses. Small businesses include 

manufacturing and mining concerns 

with fewer than 500 employees, 

wholesale trade entities with fewer than 

100 employees, retail and service 

businesses with less than $5 million in 

annual sales, general and heavy 

construction businesses with less than 

$27.5 million in annual business, 

special trade contractors doing less than 

$11.5 million in annual business, and 

agricultural businesses with annual 

sales less than $750,000. To determine 

if potential economic impacts to these 

small entities are significant, we 

consider the types of activities that 

might trigger regulatory impacts under 

this rule, as well as the types of project 

modifications that may result. In 

general, the term ‘‘significant economic 

impact’’ is meant to apply to a typical 

small business firm’s business 

operations. 

To determine if the rule could 

significantly affect a substantial number 

of small entities, we consider the 

number of small entities affected within 

particular types of economic activities 

(e.g., housing development, grazing, oil 

and gas production, timber harvesting). 

We apply the ‘‘substantial number’’ test 

individually to each industry to 

determine if certification is appropriate. 

However, the SBREFA does not 

explicitly define ‘‘substantial number’’ 

or ‘‘significant economic impact.’’ 

Consequently, to assess whether a 

‘‘substantial number’’ of small entities is 

affected by this designation, this 

analysis considers the relative number 

of small entities likely to be impacted in 

an area. In some circumstances, 

especially with critical habitat 

designations of limited extent, we may 

aggregate across all industries and 

consider whether the total number of 

small entities affected is substantial. In 

estimating the number of small entities 

potentially affected, we also consider 

whether their activities have any 

Federal involvement. 

Designation of critical habitat only 

affects activities authorized, funded, or 

carried out by Federal agencies. Some 

kinds of activities are unlikely to have 

any Federal involvement and so will not 

be affected by critical habitat 

designation. In areas where the 

subspecies is present, Federal agencies 

already are required to consult with us 

under section 7 of the Act on activities 

they authorize, fund, or carry out that 

may affect the Louisiana black bear. 

Federal agencies also must consult with 

us if their activities may affect critical 

habitat. Designation of critical habitat, 

therefore, could result in an additional 

economic impact on small entities due 

to the requirement to reinitiate 

consultation for ongoing Federal 

activities (see Application of the 

‘‘Adverse Modification Standard’’ 

section). 

In our final economic analysis of the 

proposed critical habitat designation, 

we evaluated the potential economic 

effects on small business entities 

resulting from conservation actions 

related to the listing of the Louisiana 

black bear and the proposed designation 

of critical habitat. The analysis is based 

on the estimated impacts associated 

with the proposed rulemaking as 

described in Chapters 2 through 7 and 

Appendix A of the analysis and 

evaluates the potential for economic 

impacts related to: (1) Oil and gas 

exploration and development; (2) 

subspecies/habitat management; (3) 

recreational and residential 

development; (4) agriculture; (5) 

transportation; and (6) forestry. 

The final economic analysis identified 

45 small entities that may be affected by 

the designation of critical habitat for the 

Louisiana black bear. All of those 

entities were associated with oil and gas 

development and exploration. The total 

estimated impact per small entity over 

20 years would range from between 1.0 

to 5.4 percent of the small entity’s 

median revenues. Additionally, the final 

economic analysis estimates annualized 

impacts associated with conservation 

activities for the Louisiana black bear 

could range from $25,100 to $141,000 

discounted at the 7 percent rate over the 

next 20 years. 

The final economic analysis 

concludes that, with the exception of 

impacts related to oil and gas 

exploration and development, there are 

no incremental impacts resulting from 

designation of critical habitat for the 

Louisiana black bear that may be borne 

by small businesses. 

In summary, we considered whether 

this designation would result in a 

significant economic effect on a 

substantial number of small entities. 

Based on the above reasoning and 

currently available information, we 

concluded that this rule would not 

result in a significant economic impact 

on a substantial number of small 

entities. Therefore, we are certifying that 

the designation of critical habitat for the 

Louisiana black bear will not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities, 

and a regulatory flexibility analysis is 

not required.

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act (5 U.S.C 801 et seq.) 

Under SBREFA, this rule is not a 

major rule. Our detailed assessment of 

the economic effects of this designation 

is described in the final economic 

analysis. Based on the effects identified 

in the economic analysis, we believe 

that this rule will not have an annual 

effect on the economy of $100 million 

or more, will not cause a major increase 

in costs or prices for consumers, and 

will not have significant adverse effects 

on competition, employment, 

investment, productivity, innovation, or 

the ability of U.S.-based enterprises to 

compete with foreign-based enterprises. 

Refer to the final economic analysis for 

a discussion of the effects of this 

determination. 

Executive Order 13211 

On May 18, 2001, the President issued 

Executive Order 13211 (E.O. 13211; 

‘‘Actions Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use’’) on regulations 

that significantly affect energy supply, 

distribution, and use. E.O. 13211 

requires agencies to prepare Statements 

of Energy Effects when undertaking 

certain actions. OMB has provided 

guidance for implementing this 

Executive Order that outlines nine 

outcomes that may constitute ‘‘a 

significant adverse effect’’ when 

compared to not taking the regulatory 

action under consideration. The 

economic analysis finds that none of 

these criteria are relevant to this 

analysis. Thus, based on information in 

the economic analysis, energy-related 

impacts associated with Louisiana black 

bear conservation activities within 

critical habitat are not expected. As 

such, the designation of critical habitat 

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 et 

seq.), we make 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 

‘‘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; Aid to Families with 

Dependent Children 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 

result in the destruction or adverse 

modification of critical habitat. NonFederal 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. 

However, the legally binding duty to 

avoid destruction or adverse 

modification of critical habitat rests 

squarely on the Federal agency. 

Furthermore, to the extent that nonFederal 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 onto 

State governments. 

(b) We do not believe that this rule 

will significantly or uniquely affect 

small governments because it will not 

produce a Federal mandate of $100 

million or greater in any year, that is, it 

is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ 

under the Unfunded Mandates Reform 

Act. The designation of critical habitat 

imposes no obligations on State or local 

governments. By definition, Federal 

agencies are not considered small 

entities, although the activities they 

fund or permit may be proposed or 

carried out by small entities. As such, a 

Small Government Agency Plan is not 

required. 

Executive Order 12630—Takings 

In accordance with E.O. 12630 

(‘‘Government Actions and Interference 

with Constitutionally Protected Private 

Property Rights’’), we have analyzed the 

potential takings implications of 

designating critical habitat for the 

Louisiana black bear in a takings 

implications assessment. Critical habitat 

designation does not affect landowner 

actions that do not require Federal 

funding or permits, nor does it preclude 

development of habitat conservation 

programs or issuance of incidental take 

permits to permit actions that do require 

Federal funding or permits to go 

forward. The takings implications 

assessment concludes that this 

designation of critical habitat for the 

Louisiana black bear does not pose 

significant takings implications for 

lands within or affected by the 

designation. 

Federalism 

In accordance with E.O. 13132 

(Federalism), this 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 

critical habitat designation with 

appropriate State resource agencies in 

Louisiana. We received comments from 

the Louisiana Department of Wildlife 

and Fisheries and the Louisiana 

Department of Natural Resources and 

have addressed them in the Response to 

Comments section of the rule. The 

designation of critical habitat in areas 

currently occupied by the Louisiana 

black bear may impose nominal 

additional regulatory restrictions to 

those currently in place and, therefore, 

may have little incremental impact on 

State and local governments and their 

activities. The designation may have 

some benefit to these governments in 

that the areas that contain the physical 

and biological features essential to the 

conservation of the subspecies are more 

clearly defined, and the PCEs of the 

habitat necessary to the conservation of 

the subspecies are specifically 

identified. This information does not 

alter where and what federally 

10378 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 45 / Tuesday, March 10, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 

sponsored activities may occur. 

However, it may assist local 

governments in long-range planning 

(rather than having them wait for caseby-case section 7 consultations to 

occur). 

Civil Justice Reform 

In accordance with E.O. 12988 (Civil 

Justice Reform), the regulation meets the 

applicable standards set forth in 

sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of the Order. 

We are designating critical habitat in 

accordance with the provisions of the 

Act. This final rule uses standard 

property descriptions and identifies the 

physical and biological features 

essential to the conservation of the 

subspecies within the designated areas 

to assist the public in understanding the 

habitat needs of the Louisiana black 

bear. 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

This rule does not contain any new 

collections of information that require 

approval by OMB under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 

et seq.). 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 

(NEPA) 

It is our position that, outside the 

Jurisdiction of the U.S. Court of Appeals 

for the Tenth Circuit, we do not need to 

prepare environmental analyses as 

defined by the NEPA (42 U.S.C. 4321 et 

seq.) in connection with designating 

critical habitat under the Act. We 

published a notice outlining our reasons 

for this determination in the Federal 

Register on October 25, 1983 (48 FR 

49244). This position was upheld by the 

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth 

Circuit (Douglas County v. Babbitt, 48 

F.3d 1495 (9th Cir. 1995), cert. denied 

516 U.S. 1042 (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), E.O. 

13175, and the Department of the 

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. In 

accordance with Secretarial Order 3206 

of June 5, 1997, ‘‘American Indian 

Tribal Rights, Federal-Tribal Trust 

Responsibilities, and the Endangered 

Species Act,’’ we readily acknowledge 

our responsibilities to work directly 

with Tribes in developing programs for 

healthy ecosystems, to acknowledge that 

Tribal lands are not subject to the same 

controls as Federal public lands, to 

remain sensitive to Indian culture, and 

to make information available to Tribes. 

We determined that there are no Tribal 

lands occupied at the time of listing that 

contain the features essential for the 

conservation, and no unoccupied Tribal 

lands that are essential for the 

conservation of the Louisiana black 

bear. Therefore, we are not designating 

critical habitat for the Louisiana black 

bear on Tribal lands.

Concordia, Franklin, Iberia, Iberville, 

Madison, Pointe Coupee, Richland, St. 

Martin, St. Mary, Tensas, West Carroll, 

and West Feliciana Parishes, Louisiana, 

on the maps below. 

(2) The primary constituent elements 

of critical habitat for the Louisiana black 

bear are the habitat components that 

provide: 

(i) Breeding habitat (i.e., within or 

contiguous to the home range of females 

in a core breeding population) 

consisting of hardwood forest areas 

having a diversity of age class and 

species and containing sources of hard 

mast (acorns and nuts) produced by 

such species as mature oaks, hickories, 

and pecan, and that may include one or 

more of the following: 

(A) Areas containing soft mast 

provided by a diversity of plant species, 

including, but not limited to, 

blackberry, grape, mulberry, sassafras, 

paw paw, etc., occurring primarily in 

forest openings, on spoil banks, and in 

areas adjacent to forested habitat. 

(B) Areas within forested habitat 

providing protein sources consisting of 

beetles and other colonial insects found 

in rotting and decaying wood found on 

the forest floor. 

(C) Grasses and sedges found in forest 

openings, on spoil banks with open 

canopies, and in vegetated areas 

adjacent to forested habitats. 

(D) Secure areas for reproduction, 

winter dormancy, day bedding, and 

escape. These include areas with den 

trees (e.g., bald cypress, overcup oak, 

American sycamore, etc.); areas with a 

thick understory, shrub-scrub habitat, 

openings along spoil banks, vegetated 

areas adjacent to forests, or any 

vegetation that provides cover, limits 

visibility, slows foot travel, or creates 

noise when traversed; early successional 

forests (0 to 12 years) with an open 

canopy and dense understory of shrubs, 

vines, and saplings; or areas with 

vegetation such as palmetto, greenbriars, 

blackberry, dewberry, and downed 

trees. 

(ii) Corridors consisting of: 

(A) Habitat patches 12 acres (5 

hectares) or greater in size; or 

(B) Forested areas greater than 150 

feet (46 meters) wide along waterways 

and sloughs and having a diversity of 

plant species and age-classes of 

sufficient area, quality, and 

configuration, as described in paragraph 

(2)(i) of this entry, to provide dispersal 

habitat between breeding populations to 

maintain genetic variability and 

promote stable or increasing 

populations, and to provide habitat 

supporting safe movement, foraging, 

and denning. 

(3) Critical habitat does not include 

manmade structures (such as buildings, 

aqueducts, runways, roads, and other 

paved areas) and the land on which they 

are located existing within the legal 

boundaries on the effective date of this 

rule. 

(4) Critical habitat map units. Data 

layers defining map units were created 

on a base of USGS digital ortho-photo 

quarter-quadrangles, and critical habitat 

units were then mapped using Universal 

Transverse Mercator (UTM) Zone 15N 

coordinates.
