DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Fish and Wildlife Service 

Notice of Availability of a Final 

Recovery Plan for the Ouachita Rock 

Pocketbook

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of document availability.

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service (Service), announce the 

availability of a final recovery plan for 

the endangered Ouachita rock 

pocketbook (Arkansia wheeleri). This 

rare freshwater mussel inhabits portions 

of certain streams in and near the 

southern slope of the Ouachita Uplift. A 

viable population of fewer than 1,800 

individuals inhabits the Kiamichi River 

in Oklahoma and a smaller population 

(fewer than 100 individuals) inhabits 

the lower Little River in Oklahoma and 

Arkansas. Limited evidence exists for 

recent occurrence of the species in the 

Ouachita River in Arkansas (where it 

occurred historically) and in two Red 

River tributaries in Texas. Populations 

outside of the Kiamichi River are 

believed to be too reduced at present to 

ensure long-term viability. All of the 

populations have experienced 

reductions and degradation of their 

inhabited stream segments and are 

separated by major impoundments. The 

final plan outlines objectives, criteria, 

and tasks for recovering this endangered 

species.

ADDRESSES: A copy of the final recovery 

plan may be requested by contacting the 

Oklahoma Ecological Services Field 

Office, 222 South Houston Avenue, 

Suite A, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74127.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

David Martinez, U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service, at the above address, or by 

telephone, 918/581–7458 ext. 228.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background 

Restoring endangered or threatened 

animals and plants to points where they 

are again secure, self-sustaining 

members of their ecosystems is a 

primary goal of the Service’s 

endangered species program. The 

Service is working to prepare recovery 

plans for most of the listed species 

native to the United States. Recovery 

plans describe actions considered 

necessary for conservation of the 

species, establish criteria for recovery 

levels to upgrade or delist the species, 

and estimate time and cost for 

implementing the identified recovery 

measures. 

The Endangered Species Act of 1973, 

as amended (Act) (16 U.S.C. 1531 et 

seq.), requires the development of 

recovery plans for listed species unless 

such a plan would not promote the 

conservation of a particular species. 

Section 4(f) of the Act, as amended in 

1988, requires that public notice and an 

opportunity for public review and 

comment be provided during recovery 

plan development. The Ouachita rock 

pocketbook was listed as endangered in 

1991 (56 FR 54950) and a draft recovery 

plan was prepared and issued for the 

species in 1994. 

Issuance of the draft plan included a 

notice of availability and opportunity 

for public comment (59 FR 35948) and 

other public notification efforts. 

Pertinent information received by the 

Service during the public comment 

period has been considered in 

preparation of the final recovery plan, 

and is summarized in the plan’s 

appendix. This information will also be 

taken into account in the course of 

implementing recovery actions. 

Additional information on population 

status and distribution has been 

collected and updated since publication 

of the draft in 1994; however, no 

substantive changes have been made to 

the overall recovery strategy for the 

species in the final recovery plan. 

The Ouachita rock pocketbook 

(Arkansia wheeleri) represents a 

monotypic genus now believed to be 

restricted to approximately 431 

kilometers (268 miles) of stream 

segments in the Red River and Ouachita 

River drainages in southeastern 

Oklahoma, southwestern Arkansas, and 

northwestern Texas. Stream 

impoundment, potential water 

withdrawals, channelization, water 

quality degradation, and potential land 

use changes are major threats to the 

species’ continued survival. 

The final recovery plan includes 

updated scientific information about the 

Ouachita rock pocketbook and identifies 

research and management actions 

needed to conserve and recover the 

species’ populations and habitat. The 

strategy for recovery is based on 

protection of the Kiamichi River 

population along with re-establishing 

and protecting viable populations in 

other portions of the species’ historical 

range. Activities believed necessary to 

accomplish recovery include increased 

protection of populations and their 

habitats, restoration of degraded 

habitats, filling of critical information 

gaps regarding the species’ biology and 

propagation, and public outreach 

efforts. The plan includes downlisting 

and interim delisting recovery criteria.

Authority: The Authority for this action is 

section 4(f) of the Endangered Species Act, 

16 U.S.C. 1533(f).

Dated: April 6, 2004.

Acting Regional Director.

complained of was based on a mistake 

in the determination of facts not 

previously considered; or 

(3) If in the opinion of the Certifying

the law justified reconsideration of the 

decision. 

The TAA petition was filed on behalf
