50 CFR Part 17 

RIN 1018–AT91 

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife 

and Plants; Designation of Critical 

Habitat for the Fender’s Blue Butterfly 

(Icaricia icarioides fenderi), Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii (Kincaid’s 

Lupine), and Erigeron decumbens var. 

decumbens (Willamette Daisy). 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service (Service), propose to 

designate critical habitat for the 

Fender’s blue butterfly (Icaricia 

icarioides fenderi), and two plants, 

Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii 

(Kincaid’s lupine), and Erigeron 

decumbens var. decumbens (Willamette 

daisy) pursuant to the Endangered 

Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). 

We are proposing to designate 3,089 

acres (ac) (1,250 hectares (ha) as critical 

habitat for Fender’s blue butterfly, 724 

ac (293 ha) as critical habitat for L. 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii, and 718 ac 

(291 ha) as critical habitat for E. 

decumbens var. decumbens. The 

proposed critical habitat is located in 

Polk, Benton, Yamhill, Lane, Marion, 

Linn, and Douglas Counties, Oregon, 

and Lewis County, Washington. 

DATES: We will accept comments from 

all interested parties until January 3, 

2006. We must receive requests for 

public hearings, in writing, at the 

address shown in the ADDRESSES section 

by December 19, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Public Comments Solicited 

We intend that any final action 

resulting from this proposal will be as 

accurate and as effective as possible. 

Therefore, comments or suggestions 

from the public, other concerned 

governmental agencies, the scientific 

community, industry, or any other 

interested party concerning this 

proposed rule are hereby solicited. 

Comments particularly are sought 

concerning: 

(1) The reasons any habitat should or 

should not be determined to be critical 

habitat as provided by section 4 of the 

Act, including whether the benefit of 

designation will outweigh any threats to 

the species due to designation; 

(2) Specific information on the 

Fender’s blue butterfly, Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii, and Erigeron 

decumbens var. decumbens and its 

habitat, and which habitat or habitat 

components (i.e., physical and 

biological features) are essential to the 

conservation such as soil moisture 

gradient, microsite preferences, light 

requirements; 

(3) Specific information on the 

amount and distribution of the Fender’s 

blue butterfly, Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii and Erigeron decumbens var. 

decumbens habitat; what areas should 

be included in the designations that 

were occupied at the time of listing and 

contain the features that are essential to 

the conservation of the species and why; 

specific information is also sought on 

what areas that were not occupied at the 

time of listing are essential to the 

conservation of the species and why; 

(4) Land use designations and current 

or planned activities in the subject areas 

and their possible impacts on proposed 

critical habitat; we specifically solicit 

information including: 

(a) The benefits provided by a 

management plan; specifically describe 

how the plan addresses each primary 

constituent element (PCE) in the 

absence of designated critical habitat; 

describe conservation benefits to 

Fender’s blue butterfly, Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii or Erigeron 

decumbens var. decumbens; include 

citations that point to the certainity of 

implementation of those aspects of the 

management plans (see the Special 

Management Considerations or 

Protections section below); 

(b) The benefits of excluding from the 

critical habitat designation the areas 

covered by the plan; we are especially 

interested in knowing how partnerships 

may be positively or negatively affected 

by a designation, or through exclusion 

from critical habitat, and costs 

associated with designation; 

(c) With specific reference to the 

recent amendments to sections 4(a)(3) 

and 4(b)(2) of the Act, we request 

information from the Department of 

Defense to assist the Secretary of the 

Interior in making a determination as to 

whether to exclude critical habitat on 

lands administered by or under the 

control of the Department of Defense 

based on the benefit of an Integrated 

Natural Resources Management Plan 

(INRMP) to the conservation of the 

species; 

(5) Any foreseeable economic, 

national security, or other potential 

impacts resulting from the proposed 

designation and, in particular, any 

impacts on small entities; and 

(6) Whether our approach to 

designating critical habitat could be 

improved or modified in any way to 

provide for greater public participation 

and understanding, or to assist us in 

accommodating public concerns and 

comments.

Designation of Critical Habitat Provides 

Little Additional Protection to Species 

In 30 years of implementing the Act, 

the Service has found that the 

designation of statutory critical habitat 

provides little additional protection to 

most listed species, while consuming 

significant amounts of available 

conservation resources. The Service’s 

present system for designating critical 

habitat has evolved since its original 

statutory prescription into a process that 

provides little real conservation benefit, 

is driven by litigation and the courts 

rather than biology, limits our ability to 

fully evaluate the science involved, 

consumes enormous agency resources, 

and imposes huge social and economic 

costs. The Service believes that 

additional agency discretion would 

allow our focus to return to those 

actions that provide the greatest benefit 

to the species most in need of 

protection. 

Role of Critical Habitat in Actual 

Practice of Administering and 

Implementing the Act 

While attention to and protection of 

habitat is paramount to successful 

conservation actions, we have 

consistently found that, in most 

circumstances, the designation of 

critical habitat is of little additional 

value for most listed species, yet it 

consumes large amounts of conservation 

resources. Sidle (1987) stated, ‘‘Because 

the Act can protect species with and 

without critical habitat designation, 

critical habitat designation may be 

redundant to the other consultation 

requirements of section 7.’’ Currently, 

only 470 species or 37.5 percent of the 

1,253 listed species in the U.S. under 

the jurisdiction of the Service have 

designated critical habitat. 

We address the habitat needs of all 

1,253 listed species through 

conservation mechanisms such as 

listing, section 7 consultations, the 

Section 4 recovery planning process, the 

Section 9 protective prohibitions of 

unauthorized take, Section 6 funding to 

the States, and the Section 10 incidental 

take permit process. The Service 

believes that it is these measures that 

may make the difference between 

conservation for many species. 

We note, however, that a recent Ninth 

Circuit judicial opinion, Gifford Pinchot 

Task Force v. United States Fish and 

Wildlife Service, has invalidated the 

Service’s regulation defining destruction 

or adverse modification of critical 

habitat. In response, on December 9, 

2004, the Director issued guidance to be 

considered in making section 7 adverse 

modification determinations. This 

critical habitat designation does not use 

the invalidated regulation in our 

consideration of critical habitat’s 

benefits. The Service will carefully 

manage consultations that analyze 

impacts to designated critical habitat, 

particularly those that appear to be 

resulting in an adverse modification 

determination. Such consultations will 

be reviewed by the Regional Office prior 

to finalizing to ensure that an adequate 

analysis has been conducted that is 

informed by the Director’s guidelines. 

Procedural and Resource Difficulties in 

Designating Critical Habitat 

We have been inundated with 

lawsuits for our failure to designate 

critical habitat, and we face a growing 

number of lawsuits challenging critical 

habitat determinations once they are 

made. These lawsuits have subjected the 

Service to an ever-increasing series of 

court orders and court-approved 

settlement agreements, compliance with 

which now consumes nearly the entire 

listing program budget. This leaves the 

Service with little ability to prioritize its 

activities to direct scarce listing 

resources to the listing program actions 

with the most biologically urgent 

species conservation needs. 

The consequence of the critical 

habitat litigation activity is that limited 

listing funds are used to defend active 

lawsuits, to respond to Notices of Intent 

(NOIs) to sue relative to critical habitat, 

and to comply with the growing number 

of adverse court orders. As a result, 

listing petition responses, the Service’s 

own proposals to list critically 

imperiled species, and final listing 

determinations on existing proposals are 

all significantly delayed. 

The accelerated schedules of court 

ordered designations have left the 

Service with almost no ability to 

provide for adequate public 

participation or to ensure a defect-free 

rulemaking process before making 

decisions on listing and critical habitat 

proposals due to the risks associated 

with noncompliance with judiciallyimposed deadlines. This in turn fosters 

a second round of litigation in which 

those who fear adverse impacts from 

critical habitat designations challenge 

those designations. The cycle of 

litigation appears endless, is very 

expensive, and in the final analysis 

provides relatively little additional 

protection to listed species. 

The costs resulting from the 

designation include legal costs, the cost 

of preparation and publication of the 

designation, the analysis of the 

economic effects and the cost of 

requesting and responding to public 

comment, and in some cases the costs 

of compliance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). None 

of these costs result in any benefit to the 

species that is not already afforded by 

the protections of the Act enumerated 

earlier, and they directly reduce the 

funds available for direct and tangible 

conservation actions. 

Background 

It is our intent to discuss those topics 

directly relevant to the designation of 

critical habitat in this proposed rule. For 

more information on the Fender’s blue 

butterfly, Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii and Erigeron decumbens var. 

decumbens, refer to the final listing rule 

published in the Federal Register on 

January 25, 2000 (65 FR 3875). Provided 

below is a general overview of the 

habitat requirements and distribution of 

Fender’s blue butterfly, L. sulphureus 

ssp. kincaidii and E. decumbens var. 

decumbens. 

These species occur in wet prairie, 

upland prairie, and oak/savanna 

habitats (collectively referred to as 

prairie habitat) which were once widely 

distributed across western Oregon and 

southwestern Washington (Clark 1996; 

Schultz et al. 2003; Wilson et al. 2003). 

Various descriptions of prairie habitats 

have been published over the years and 

they usually vary in their division of 

communities and the dominant species 

present in each community (Jackson 

1996). For the purposes of this 

document we describe two habitat 

types, wet and upland prairie, and we 

define these by describing the plant 

communities reported co-occuring with 

the Fender’s blue butterfly, Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii and Erigeron 

decumbens var. decumbens. Upland 

prairie (including oak savanna) habitat 

is characterized by short-grass stature 

which is dominated by native bunch 

grasses and forbs, such as: Calochortus 

tolmiei (Cat’s ear, Tolmie star-tulip), 

Danthonia californica (California 

oatgrass), Eriophyllum lanatum 

(common woolly sunflower, Oregon 

66494 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 211 / Wednesday, November 2, 2005 / Proposed Rules 

sunshine), Festuca romeri (Romer’s 

fescue), and Fragaria virginiana 

(Virginia strawberry) (Wilson 1998a; 

Schultz et al. 2003; Wilson et al. 2003). 

Wet prairies are seasonally flooded 

ecosystems occurring on both poorly 

drained soil types and well-drained 

soils where shallow bedrock impedes 

drainage (Wilson 1998b). Although wet 

prairie soils dry-out during typical 

summer droughts, they have soils with 

hydric characteristics that support 

facultative or obligate wetland plant 

species (Wilson 1998b) such as, 

Anthoxanthum odoratum (sweet 

vernalgrass), Deschampsia caespitosa 

(tufted hairgrass), Eriophyllum lanatum, 

and Lomatium bradshawii (Bradshaw’s 

lomatium) (Clark et al. 1993; Wilson 

1998b). The Fender’s blue butterfly, 

Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii and 

Erigeron decumbens var. decumbens, 

occur in prairie remnants with 

undisturbed (not disturbed in the last 10 

years) subsoils (the layer of soil between 

the topsoil and bedrock) (Kagen and 

Yamamota 1987; USFWS 2003a; 

USFWS 2004a, 2004b). 

Prairie habitat has been reduced to 

less than one percent of pre-settlement 

distribution (Hammond and Wilson 

1993), making the ecosystem among the 

most endangered in the United States 

(Noss et al. 1995). The decline in these 

habitats and their increased 

fragmentation have led to the decline of 

many native prairie plants and animals 

(Wilson 1998a, 1998b). The most 

noteworthy decline was that of Fender’s 

blue butterfly, which was thought to be 

extinct for over 50 years before being 

rediscovered in Benton County, Oregon 

in the late 1980s (Schultz et al. 2003; 

Wilson et al. 2003). 

Historically, prairie plant species, 

such as Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii and Erigeron decumbens var. 

decumbens, were scattered across the 

landscape in patches which were 

relatively close to each other (Jackson 

1996; Schultz 1998; Severns 2003a). 

Today, few prairie habitat patches 

remain and most are threatened to 

varying degrees by the spread of exotic 

grasses and shrubs, and succession to 

forest (Hammond and Wilson 1993; 

Schultz et al. 2003; Wilson et al. 2003). 

As a result, many of the remaining 

populations of Fender’s blue butterfly, 

L. sulphureus ssp. kincaidii, and E. 

decumbens var. decumbens are 

extremely small and isolated, further 

threatening the long-term persistence of 

these species (Jackson 1996; Schultz 

1998; Schultz and Hammond 2003; 

Severns 2003a; Schultz et al. 2003). 

Fender’s blue butterfly and Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii 

The Fender’s blue butterfly and 

Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii 

populations occur on early seral (one 

stage in a sequential progression) 

upland prairie habitat with plant 

species including, but not limited to: 

Achillea millefolium (common yarrow), 

Aster hallii (Hall’s aster), Brodiaea 

congesta (Brodiaea), Bromus carinatus 

(California brome), Calochortus tolmiei, 

Carex tumulicola (splitawn sedge), 

Cirsium callilepis (fewleaf thistle), 

Danthonia californica, Elymus glaucus 

(blue wildrye), Eriophyllum lanatum, 

Festuca californica (California fescue), 

Festuca roemeri, Fragaria virginiana, 

Geranium oreganum (Oregon geranium), 

Grindelia integrifolia (gumweed), 

Lomatium nudicaule (barestemmed 

desert parsley), Luzula campestris 

(wood rush), Prunella vulgaris (common 

selfheal), Sanicula crassicaulis (Pacific 

blacksnakeroot), Sidalcea virgata (rose 

checkermallow and dwarf 

checkerbloom), Silene hookeri (Hooker’s 

silene), and Wyethia angustifolia 

(California compassplant). Many of 

these associated species are considered 

indicators for this habitat type (Schultz 

and Dlugosch 1999; Schultz 2001; 

Schultz et al. 2003; Wilson et al. 2003). 

L. sulphureus ssp. kincaidii habitat is 

described as prairie or open areas, and 

this species is unable to survive 

prolonged periods of shade (Wilson et 

al. 2003). This plant is a low-growing 

herbaceous perennial with large 

individual plant clones (Wilson et al. 

2003). Excavation efforts indicate that 

leaves 33 feet (10 m) or more apart can 

be interconnected by below ground 

stems, and the species is long-lived with 

lateral growth rates suggesting that some 

plants could be several decades old 

(Wilson et al. 2003). L. sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii clones are scattered in patches 

across the prairie habitat and intermixed 

with several other prairie-associated 

plant species. 

Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii is 

the primary host plant for the Fender’s 

blue butterfly and is utilized by the 

butterfly as a larval food source and for 

oviposition (laying eggs) (Schultz et al. 

2003; Wilson et al. 2003). The Fender’s 

blue butterfly habitat requirements 

include a larval host plant, native forbs 

for adult nectar sources, and a mixture 

of native grasses that help maintain the 

short-grass stature of the upland prairies 

(Wilson et al. 1997; Schultz 2001) 

essential to the survival of these shade 

intolerant species (Wilson et al. 2003). 

Full sun conditions are necessary for 

adult butterflies to seek out nectar, 

search for a mate and disperse. The 

Fender’s blue butterfly appears to have 

limited dispersal ability with most 

dispersing adults likely remaining 

within 1.2 miles (2 km) of their natal 

lupine patch (Schultz 1998). The 

maximum dispersal distance reported 

for the Fender’s blue butterfly is 3.1 to 

3.7 miles (5 to 6 km) (Hammond and 

Wilson 1992; Schultz 1998). 

To simplify mapping efforts, Fender’s 

blue butterfly occupancy has typically 

been recorded by simply reporting the 

location of occupied lupine patches 

(Schultz and Dlugosch 1999; Schultz 

2001; Schultz et al. 2003). Adult 

butterflies utilize a variety of prairie 

species in addition to the lupine habitat. 

Species occurrence information 

reported in the final listing rule was 

calculated by reporting the estimated 

area covered by the lupine, which 

considerably under-estimates the range 

of Fender’s blue butterfly adults. For 

this proposed critical habitat 

designation, we have identified and 

report all known prairie habitat 

supporting Fender’s blue butterfly 

populations, regardless of the presence 

or absence of lupine. 

Fender’s blue butterfly is currently 

found in 16 isolated populations 

comprising a total of approximately 

3,388 ac (1,370 ha) of upland prairie 

habitat. The prairie habitat currently 

supporting this species is found in 

Yamhill, Polk, Benton, and Lane 

Counties, Oregon. Lupinus sulphureus 

ssp. kincaidii occurs in 76 upland 

prairie/savanna habitat patches, totaling 

approximately 1,150 ac (465 ha). The 

prairie habitat supporting this species is 

scattered across six counties (Lewis 

County, Washington, and Yamhill, Polk, 

Benton, Lane, and Douglas Counties, 

Oregon). 

Erigeron decumbens var. decumbens 

Erigeron decumbens var. decumbens 

grows in wet prairies occurring on 

relatively impermeable soils with plant 

species including, but not limited to: 

Anthoxanthum odoratum, Aster curtus 

(white-top aster), Aster hallii (Hall’s 

aster), Brodiaea coronaria (crown 

brodiaea), Camassia quamash (common 

camas), Danthonia californica 

(California oatgrass), Deschampsia 

caespitosa, Festuca arundinacea (tall 

fescue), Grindelia integrifolia 

(gumweed), Holcus lanatus (velvet 

grass), Horkelia congesta (Sierra 

horkelia), Saxifraga integrifolia (bog 

saxifrag), Lomatium bradshawii, Luzula 

campestris (wood rush), Panicum 

capillare (witchgrass), Potentilla gracilis 

(slender cinquefoil), Prunella vulgaris 

(common selfheal) and Sisyrinchium 

angustifolium (narrowleaf blue-eyed 

grass) (Clark et al. 1993; Clark et al. 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 211 / Wednesday, November 2, 2005 / Proposed Rules 66495 

1995a, 1995b; Jackson 1996; Clark 

2000). Erigeron decumbens var. 

decumbens also grows in upland 

prairies as previously described (Clark 

et al. 1993; Clark et al. 1995a; Jackson 

1996; Clark 2000). 

Erigeron decumbens var. decumbens 

typically occurs where woody cover is 

nearly absent and where herbaceous 

vegetation cover is low in stature 

relative to the surrounding areas (Clark 

et al. 1993). Erigeron decumbens var. 

decumbens is a low growing (6–24 

inches (15–60 cm) herbaceous perennial 

occurring in clumps of genetically 

identical ramets (i.e., a vegetatively 

reproduced copy of the parent plant) 

that are typically patchy in distribution 

across the prairie habitat (Clark et al. 

1993). These plants are intermixed with 

several associated species which are 

considered indicator species for the 

prairie habitat (Clark et al. 1993). 

Erigeron decumbens var. decumbens 

occurs in 32 wet and upland prairie 

patches, totaling 1,193 ac (483 ha). This 

species currently occurs in Benton, 

Lane, Linn, Marion, and Polk Counties, 

Oregon. 

The historic wide spread distribution 

of continuous prairie habitat allowed 

the Fender’s blue butterfly, Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii and Erigeron 

decumbens var. decumbens to function 

as metapopulations (Jackson 1996; 

Schultz 1998; Schultz et al. 2003; and 

Severns 2003a). Currently, populations 

are mostly isolated from neighboring 

populations and interactions between 

them are thought to be rare events 

(Jackson 1996; Schultz 1998; Severns 

2003a). Recovery of all three species 

will require reestablishment of 

functioning habitat networks that 

support multiple, connected 

populations (Kaye, in litt., 2005; Schultz 

et al. 2003; Severns 2003a). In this 

document we refer to these functioning 

habitat networks as metapopulations. 

Previous Federal Actions 

The Fender’s blue butterfly, Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii and Erigeron 

decumbens var. decumbens were listed 

on January 25, 2000. For more 

information on previous Federal actions 

concerning the Fender’s blue butterfly, 

L. sulphureus ssp. kincaidii and E. 

decumbens var. decumbens, refer to the 

final listing rule published in the 

Federal Register on January 25, 2000 

(65 FR 3875.) 

On April 23, 2003, a complaint was 

filed against the Service (CV 03 513 JE 

(D. Or.)) for failure to designate critical 

habitat for the Fender’s blue butterfly, 

Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii and 

Erigeron decumbens var. decumbens. In 

December 2003, a settlement agreement 

resulted in a schedule for the Service to 

submit a proposed critical habitat rule 

to the Federal Register by October 15, 

2005, and a final rule by October 15, 

2006. 

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 (I) essential to the conservation 

of the species and (II) that may require 

special management considerations or 

protection; and (ii) specific areas 

outside the geographic 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’’ means the use 

of all methods and procedures that are 

necessary to bring an endangered or a 

threatened species to the point at which 

listing under the Act is no longer 

necessary. 

Critical habitat receives protection 

under section 7 of the Act through the 

prohibition against destruction or 

adverse modification of critical habitat 

with regard to actions carried out, 

funded, or authorized by a Federal 

agency. Section 7 requires consultation 

on Federal actions that are likely to 

result in the destruction or adverse 

modification of 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 access to private lands. 

To be included in a critical habitat 

designation, the habitat within the area 

occupied by the species at the time of 

listing must first have features that are 

‘‘essential to the conservation of the 

species.’’ Critical habitat designations 

identify, to the extent known using the 

best scientific and commercial data 

available, habitat areas that provide 

essential life cycle needs of the species 

(i.e., areas on which are found the 

primary constituent elements, as 

defined at 50 CFR 424.12(b)). 

Habitat occupied at the time of listing 

may be included in critical habitat only 

if the essential features thereon may 

require special management or 

protection. Thus, we do not include 

areas where existing management is 

sufficient to conserve the species; as 

discussed below, such areas may also be 

excluded from critical habitat pursuant 

to section 4(b)(2). Specific areas outside 

the geographical area occupied by the 

species at the time it is listed may be 

designated as critical habitat, in 

accordance with the provisions of 

section 4 of the Act, upon a 

determination by the Secretary that such 

features are essential for the 

conservation of the species. 

The Service’s Policy on Information 

Standards Under the Endangered 

Species Act, published in the Federal 

Register on July 1, 1994 (59 FR 34271), 

and Section 515 of the Treasury and 

General Government Appropriations 

Act for Fiscal Year 2001 (Pub. L. 106–

554; H.R. 5658) and the associated 

Information Quality Guidelines issued 

by the Service, provide criteria, 

establish procedures, and provide 

guidance to ensure that decisions made 

by the Service represent the best 

scientific and commercial data 

available. They require Service 

biologists to the extent consistent with 

the Act and with the use of the best 

scientific and commercial data 

available, to use primary and original 

sources of information as the basis for 

recommendations to designate critical 

habitat. When determining which areas 

are critical habitat, a primary source of 

information is generally the listing 

package for the species. Additional 

information sources 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. All 

information is used in accordance with 

the provisions of Section 515 of the 

Treasury and General Government 

Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2001 

(Pub. L. 106–554; H.R. 5658) and the 

associated Information Quality 

Guidelines issued by the Service. 

Section 4 of the Act requires that we 

designate critical habitat on the basis of 

the best scientific data available. Habitat 

is often dynamic, and species may move 

from one area to another over time. 

Furthermore, we recognize that 

designation of critical habitat may not 

include all of the habitat areas that may 

eventually be determined to be 

necessary for the recovery of the 

species. For these reasons, critical 

habitat designations do not signal that 

habitat outside the designation is 

unimportant or may not be required for 

recovery. Most populations of Fender’s 

blue butterfly, Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii and Erigeron decumbens var. 

decumbens have not been studied well 

enough to determine how to restore 

functioning metapopulations in these 

highly fragmented prairie remnants. 

Although it is generally understood that 

recovery of remaining populations will 

involve expanding existing populations, 

66496 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 211 / Wednesday, November 2, 2005 / Proposed Rules 

increasing connectivity, and/or 

improving habitat quality (Clark et al. 

1995b; Schultz et al. 2003; Severns 

2003a; Wilson et al. 2003), additional 

information is needed to determine the 

most appropriate restoration design 

(Schultz et al. in prep.). Since each of 

the remaining populations occur in a 

unique habitat setting, habitat analyses 

will likely need to be completed to 

determine which lands are suitable for 

expanding populations, increasing 

connectivity, and reestablishing 

functioning metapopulations. For many 

populations of Fender’s blue butterfly, 

L. sulphureus ssp. kincaidii and E. 

decumbens var. decumbens, we do not 

have the information necessary to 

specifically identify additional areas 

needed to increase connectivity between 

populations and establish larger 

metapopulations. If new information 

becomes available identifying additional 

features essential to the conservation of 

these species, we will reevaluate the 

critical habitat designation. 

Areas that support populations, but 

are outside the critical habitat 

designation, will continue to be subject 

to conservation actions implemented 

under section 7(a)(1) of the Act and 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 

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 new information 

available to these planning efforts calls 

for a different outcome. 

Methods 

As required by section 4(b)(1)(A) of 

the Act, we use the best scientific and 

commercial data available in 

determining areas that contain the 

features that are essential to the 

conservation of the Fender’s blue 

butterfly, Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii and Erigeron decumbens var. 

decumbens. 

We have reviewed available 

information that pertains to the habitat 

requirements of these species and 

evaluated all known species locations 

using data from the following sources: 

Spatial data for known species locations 

from the Oregon Natural Heritage 

Information Center (ORNHIC 2004), 

Washington Natural Heritage Program 

(WNHP 2005), U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers (Corps 2004), and Bureau of 

Land Management (BLM 2005); United 

States Geological Survey (USGS 2000) 

1:24,000 scale 3.75 digital 

orthophotographic quarter quadrangle 

images; recent biological surveys and 

reports; site-specific habitat evaluations 

(USFWS 2003a; USFWS 2004a, 2004b, 

2004e); data in reports submitted during 

section 7 consultations and by biologists 

holding section 10(a)(1)(A) recovery 

permits; research published in peerreviewed articles and presented in 

academic theses or reports; recovery 

team meeting notes; and discussions 

with species experts. We are not 

proposing to designate areas outside the 

geographic area occupied by the species. 

Primary Constituent Elements 

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

of the Act and regulations at 50 CFR 

424.12, in determining which areas to 

propose as critical habitat, we are 

required to base critical habitat 

determinations on the best scientific 

and commercial data available and to 

consider those physical and biological 

features (primary constituent elements 

(PCEs)) that are essential to the 

conservation of the species, and that 

may require special management 

considerations and protection. These 

include, but are not limited to: Space for 

individual and population growth and 

for normal behavior; food, water, air, 

light, minerals, or other nutritional or 

physiological requirements; cover or 

shelter; sites for breeding, reproduction, 

and rearing (or development) of 

offspring; and habitats that are protected 

from disturbance or are representative of 

the historic geographical and ecological 

distributions of a species. We are 

requesting specific information from the 

public on the Fender’s blue butterfly, 

Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii, and 

Erigeron decumbens var. decumbens 

and its habitat, and which habitat or 

habitat components (i.e., physical and 

biological features) are essential to the 

conservation and why. 

The specific primary constituent 

elements required for the Fender’s blue 

butterfly, Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii and Erigeron decumbens var. 

decumbens are derived from the 

biological needs of these species as 

described in the Background section of 

this proposal with specific requirements 

described below. 

Space for Individual and Population 

Growth and Normal Behavior 

Fender’s blue butterfly 

Historically, the Willamette Valley 

was a mosaic of upland and wetland 

prairie, with lupine patches rarely more 

than 0.3 miles (0.5 km) apart, providing 

a high probability that the Fender’s blue 

butterfly could disperse between 

patches (Schultz 1998). Habitat 

fragmentation has isolated the 

remaining populations of Fender’s blue 

butterfly to such an extent that dispersal 

among suitable habitat patches is now 

likely a rare event (Schultz 1998) which 

increases the risk of inbreeding 

depression (Schultz et al. 2003). The 

rarity of host lupine patches and habitat 

fragmentation are the major ecological 

factors limiting reproduction, dispersal, 

and subsequent colonization of new 

habitat (Hammond and Wilson 1992, 

1993; Hammond 1994; Schultz 1997a; 

Schultz and Dlugosch 1999). 

Conservation recommendations for 

recovering the Fender’s blue butterfly 

include having enough high quality 

habitat to maintain viable populations 

across the range of the species (Schultz 

et al. 2003). This will require habitat 

restoration to create new sites, 

expanding the size of existing sites and 

creating habitat networks that connect 

isolated populations (Schultz et al. 

2003). The largest remaining Fender’s 

blue butterfly populations generally 

occur in the largest, most connected 

prairie remnants currently supporting 

the species (USFWS 2004a, 2004e). 

Schultz et al. (2003) found that under 

current conditions, even these largest 

Fender’s blue butterfly populations have 

a poor chance of survival over the next 

100 years. 

The three largest known butterfly 

populations occur on prairie remnants 

with estimated areas of 251 ac (102 ha), 

55 ac (22 ha), and 31 ac (13 ha) 

(Hammond 2004; Fitzpatrick 2005; 

USFWS 2004a, 2004e, 2005), 

respectively. Although the prairie 

habitat supporting these populations is 

threatened to varying degrees by 

invasive species and woody succession, 

it also appears to have the highest 

diversity of native plant species. Large 

habitat patches tend to support higher 

native species diversity (Noss and 

Cooperrider 1994) and the Fender’s blue 

butterfly depends on a diversity of 

native plant species for survival (Wilson 

et al. 1997). 

To promote successful dispersal 

between lupine patches and reestablish 

functioning metapopulations, Fender’s 

blue butterly will likely require 

stepping-stones of lupine patches that 

are close enough together for dispersing 

butterflies to have a high probability of 

finding them (Schultz 1998). This 

conservation reserve strategy is superior 

to narrow linear corridors because 

Fender’s blue butterfly flight patterns 

into non-lupine habitat make it unlikely 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 211 / Wednesday, November 2, 2005 / Proposed Rules 66497 

they would stay in a narrow corridor 

(Schultz 1998). Reestablishing stepping 

stones of lupine habitat between 

existing populations increases the 

likelihood that dispersing individuals 

will move from one large lupine patch 

to the next (Schultz 1998). Lupine 

patches should be less than 0.6 mile (1 

km) from their nearest neighbor (Schultz 

1998; Schultz 2001; Schultz and Crone 

2005) to restore functioning 

metapopulations for the Fender’s blue 

butterfly and ensure the long-term 

persistence of this species (Schultz et al. 

2003). 

Recovery of the Fender’s blue 

butterfly will require ten functioning 

metapopulations that are distributed 

across the range of the species. All of 

the reserve metapopulations will need 

to consistently maintain a sufficient 

number of individuals and a minimum 

growth rate for 10–15 consecutive years. 

In addition to the above draft criteria, 

three of the metapopulations will need 

to be larger (larger areal extent), 

functioning metapopulations (Schultz et 

al., in litt., 2005). The three areas with 

the highest likelihood of fostering large, 

functioning metapopulations are lands 

owned by The Nature Conservancy 

(TNC) in Eugene, Oregon, the Baskett 

Slough National Wildlife Refuge 

populations, and the areas currently 

supporting the Wren, Oregon, 

populations. 

Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii 

For many organisms that are patchily 

distributed, the minimum viable 

population will often depend on both 

the occupied and surrounding 

unoccupied habitat that is protected and 

managed for the species (Nunny and 

Campbell 1993). Plant populations often 

occupy only small regions of the 

available habitat at any one period, and 

this pattern is very relevant to their 

conservation (Menges 1991). The habitat 

between plant patches is often utilized 

for seedling establishment (Wilson 

1998b) and, as such, may be necessary 

for the long-term perseverance of the 

species (Nunny and Campbell 1993). 

Native upland prairies are lowgrowing plant communities dominated 

by bunchgrasses with open spaces 

occurring between plants (Wilson 

1998a, 1998b). Spaces between 

bunchgrasses remain available for the 

vegetative spread of lupine and seedling 

establishment necessary for expanding 

population size and increasing 

population viability. In addition to 

providing space for population growth, 

larger prairie habitats provide 

opportunity for population expansion 

because the native grasses and forbs 

maintain the short-grass prairie stature 

and provide the full sun conditions 

necessary for the species to grow and 

expand into surrounding habitat 

(Wilson 1998a). 

Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii 

populations exhibit typical signs of 

inbreeding depression (a process that 

weakens plant fitness through repeated 

generations of inbreeding), such as low 

seed production, which is attributed to 

the small size and isolated nature of the 

species’ current distribution (Severns 

2003a; Wilson et al. 2003). Insect 

outcrossing pollination (the transfer of 

pollen from the flower of one plant to 

the flower of another plant of the same 

species) has been documented as 

necessary for successful seed 

production in L. sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii (Wilson et al. 2003). Since L. 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii is a long lived 

perennial that grows to more than 20 m 

in diameter, and observations suggest 

that lupine patches are either one 

individual or a few closely related 

individuals (Severns 2003a), successful 

outcrossing pollination will require 

large populations with many 

individuals or multiple plant patches of 

unrelated individuals that are 

functionally connected (i.e., they are in 

close enough proximity that pollinators 

will regularly move between the 

patches). The number of L. sulphureus 

ssp. kincaidii patches occurring within 

prairie remnants has been positively 

correlated with increased seed 

production, likely because larger 

populations have a higher density of 

floral displays and attract more 

pollinators (Severns 2003a). Since 

population size appears to be important 

for visibility to pollinators and the 

successful reproduction of L. 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii, increasing the 

size of existing populations will play a 

role in recovering this species (Severns 

2003a). 

Habitat management 

recommendations for the conservation 

and recovery of Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii include expanding the size of 

existing populations by augmenting 

them with individuals from other plant 

populations (Severns 2003a). The 

prairie habitat occurring between 

existing lupine patches will be 

necessary to provide space for 

augmentations which is expected to 

reduce the effects of inbreeding 

depression. Smaller distances between 

plant patches increase the likelihood of 

outcrossing as insect pollinators more 

readily travel among nearby patches to 

transfer pollen between individual 

plants. The stepping-stone reserve 

design recommended for Fender’s blue 

butterfly will also benefit L. sulphureus 

ssp. kincaidii by increasing opportunity 

for pollen transfer between existing 

plant patches and allow current small 

populations to function together as 

larger ones (Severns 2003a; Wilson et al. 

2003). 

Draft recovery criteria for the Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii include 

having reserves established across the 

historic range of the species with 

populations larger than 0.25 ac (0.1 ha) 

of lupine cover and within 5 miles (8 

km) of neighboring populations (Gisler 

et al., in litt., 2005). An area-based 

measurement is used for minimum 

patch size due to the difficulty of 

counting individual plants of this clonal 

species. The 5 mile (8 km) criterion is 

based on the estimated pollinating 

distance of the honeybee (Apis 

mellifera), which is the primary 

pollinator of this species (Gisler et al., 

in litt., 2005). These criteria are 

expected to promote larger functioning 

metapopulations, with increased 

population sizes and genetic diversity, 

which in turn, promotes long-term 

population viability and species 

conservation. 

Erigeron decumbens var. decumbens 

Erigeron decumbens var. decumbens 

populations are currently vulnerable to 

inbreeding depression throughout their 

range because they occur in small, 

isolated habitat patches (Jackson 1996). 

Jackson (1996) documents that 

conservation plans for the wet prairie 

habitat must emphasize connections, 

corridors, and large areas of contiguous 

habitat. Clark et al. (1993) identified 

habitats critical for the conservation of 

E. decumbens var. decumbens and 

recommends protecting sites harboring 

large populations of native plants, 

prairie habitat providing physical links 

between E. decumbens var. decumbens 

populations, and potential sites for 

restoration in order to reduce the 

current threats to survival (Clark et al. 

1993). 

E. decumbens var. decumbens 

populations are typically distributed in 

clumps scattered across the prairie 

habitat and dispersed among other 

prairie indicator species (Clark et al. 

1993). Larger prairie remnants are more 

likely to provide the conditions 

necessary to support population growth 

because the native species composition 

maintains the light and composition 

necessary for this species to persist and 

expand. Conservation measures 

documented as necessary for 

maintaining and increasing the few 

remaining populations of E. decumbens 

var. decumbens include promoting 

conditions for natural regeneration as 

well as possibly augmenting small 

populations with propagated 

66498 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 211 / Wednesday, November 2, 2005 / Proposed Rules 

individuals (Clark et al. 1995b). Open 

spaces between bunch grasses allow E. 

decumbens var. decumbens to expand 

within a habitat patch and larger prairie 

remnants provide the area necessary to 

use propagated individuals for 

population augmentation. 

Draft recovery criteria for the Erigeron 

decumbens var. decumbens include the 

establishment of reserves comprised of 

populations larger than 200 plants and 

within 5 miles (8 km) of neighboring 

populations, across the historic range of 

the species (Robinson et al., in litt., 

2005). E. decumbens var. decumbens 

population estimates are typically 

reported by counting plant clumps as 

individual plants and therefore, a 

minimum number of individuals has 

been identified in the draft recovery 

criteria (Robinson et al., in litt., 2005). 

Food 

The Fender’s blue butterfly uses 

Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii, L. 

arbustus (spur lupine) and L. albicaulis 

(sickle-keeled lupine) as larval host 

plants. Adult Fender’s blue butterflies 

require several forbs for nectar (Schultz 

and Dlugosch 1999; Schultz et al. 2003). 

Specific adult nectar sources include: 

Allium acuminatum (tapertip onion), 

Allium amplectans (narrowleaf onion), 

Calochortus tolmiei (Tolmie’s mariposa 

lily), Eriophyllum lanatum (woolly 

sunflower), Sidalcea campestris 

(Meadow checkermallow), Sidalcea 

virgata (rose checker-mallow), Vicia 

sativa (common vetch) and V. hirsuta 

(tiny vetch). These exotic vetches (V. 

sativa and V. hirsuta) are heavily used 

at many sites but they are considered a 

lower quality source of nectar (Schultz 

and Dlugosch 1999). 

Light 

As previously described, all three 

species are early seral and occur in open 

areas. Willamette Valley grasslands have 

been described as a mixture of wet and 

upland prairie, and oak/savanna habitat 

having a relatively open canopy cover 

(Altman et al. 2001; Chappell et al. 

2001). These open areas were 

historically maintained by the 

indigenous people of the Willamette 

Valley who seasonally burned the land 

to facilitate hunting and gathering of 

food (Clark et al. 1995b; Clark 2000; 

Jackson 1996; Schultz et al. 2003; 

Wilson et al. 2003). The fires prevented 

the widespread abundance of woody 

species and maintained the openness 

needed for early seral species to persist 

(Jackson 1996; Schultz et al. 2003; 

Wilson et al. 2003). Change in this 

historic disturbance regime has allowed 

shrubs and trees to invade many prairies 

and oak/savannas. 

Populations of Fender’s blue butterfly 

and Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii 

historically occurring in the oak/ 

savannas were probably the first to be 

lost to succession and development, 

with most of the remaining populations 

found in the valley floor prairies. L. 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii and many of 

the Fender’s blue butterfly nectar 

sources do not tolerate the decrease in 

available light that results from 

increased canopy closure as prairies 

gradually grow into woodlands in the 

absence of disturbance (Schultz et al. 

2003). Erigeron decumbens var. 

decumbens typically occurs where 

woody cover is nearly absent and where 

herbaceous vegetation cover is low in 

stature relative to the surrounding areas 

(Clark et al. 1993). 

Native Willamette Valley prairies are 

predominantly low-stature communities 

with most plant foliage occurring within 

8 inches (20 cm) of the soil, but with 

flowering stalks of some of the grasses 

reaching up to 59 inches (150 cm) in 

height (Wilson 1998a, 1998b). 

Maintaining the stature of the prairie 

habitat that surrounds the patches of 

Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii and 

E. decumbens var. decumbens is 

essential for the conservation of not 

only the plants but also the Fender’s 

blue butterfly (Schultz et al. 2003). The 

butterfly is more vigorous in the full sun 

of open habitats which provide 

conditions that promote nectaring and 

ovipositioning (Schultz et al. 2003). 

Populations of Lupinus sulphureus 

ssp. kincaidii occurring in Douglas 

County, Oregon, have been documented 

occurring in atypical habitat for the 

species (Barnes 2004). The Douglas 

County populations are in wooded areas 

with canopy cover ranging from 50 to 80 

percent (Barnes 2004) and dominated by 

species such as: Arbutus menziesii 

(Pacific madrone), Arctostaphylos 

columbiana (hairy manzanita), 

Calocedrus decurrens (incense cedar), 

Calochortus tolmiei (Cat’s ear, Tolmie 

star-tulip), Canadanthus modestus 

(giant mountain aster), Ceanothus 

cuneatusa (buckbrush), Cerastium 

arvense (field chickweed), Cynosurus 

echinatus (bristly dogstail grass), 

Daucus carota (Queen Anne’s Lace, 

wild carrot), Dichelostemma capitatum 

(bluedicks), Festuca californica 

(California fescue), Festuca roemeri 

(Roemer’s fescue), Fragaria vesca 

(woodland strawberry), Hieracium 

albiflorum (white hawkweed), 

Holodiscus discolor (oceanspray), 

Lathyrus polyphyllus (leafy pea), 

Lonicera hispidula (pink honeysuckle), 

Pinus ponderosa (ponderosa pine), 

Pseudotsuga menziesii (Douglas fir, 

Doug fir), Quercus kelloggii (California 

black oak), Rubus ursinus (California 

blackberry), Sanicula crassicaulis 

(Pacific blacksnakeroot), 

Symphoricarpos albus (snowberry), 

Torilis arvensis (spreading 

hedgeparsley), Toxicodendron 

diversilobum (poison oak), Vicia 

americana (American vetch), and 

Whipplea modesta (common whipplea). 

Moisture 

Plant communities in prairie 

ecosystems vary mainly due to 

differences in moisture and these 

moisture differences are a result of 

elevation, slope, and soil permeability 

(Jackson 1996). The Willamette Valley 

prairies have been categorized into two 

habitat types, wet prairie and upland 

prairie (Jackson 1996). The wet prairie 

habitat is defined as areas of low relief, 

with poor drainage and hydric, clayey 

soils (Jackson 1996). This habitat type is 

dominated by bunchgrasses, most 

predominately Deschampsia caespitosa 

(Clark et al. 1993; Jackson 1996). 

Jackson (1996) describes the term 

upland prairie as ‘‘misleading’’ because 

this habitat largely occurs on the valley 

floor. A few upland prairie habitat 

patches occur on colluvium upland 

soils (Jackson 1996), but many occur on 

soils not considered upland, such as 

terraces, alluvium, and even floodplain 

soils (Clark et al. 1993; Jackson 1996; 

Wilson et al. 2003). Although many of 

the habitat patches supporting the 

Fender’s blue butterfly, Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii and Erigeron 

decumbens var. decumbens occur on 

the valley floor, they have been 

characterized as ‘‘upland prairies’’

because of their drier conditions which 

are attributed to better draining soils or 

topography (Jackson 1996). This upland 

prairie habitat is typically characterized 

by the vegetation that thrives in these 

well-drained conditions (associated 

species previously identified) (Jackson 

1996). 

Erigeron decumbens var. decumbens 

grows in both wet and upland prairies. 

The populations occurring in wet 

prairies tend to occur in the driest 

portions of the wet prairie habitat. E. 

decumbens var. decumbens prefers the 

driest of habitats in which D. caespitosa 

can grow, and thus where D. caespitosa 

is sparse (Clark et al. 1993). Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii populations 

occur predominately in upland prairie 

habitat with a few occurring in the 

transitional areas between wet and 

upland prairie habitats. The Fender’s 

blue butterfly largely occurs in upland 

prairies, however several adult nectar 

sources occur in wet prairies and are 

utilized by the butterfly when wet 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 211 / Wednesday, November 2, 2005 / Proposed Rules 66499 

prairie patches are adjacent to lupine 

patches. 

Reproduction 

Fender’s blue butterfly 

Adult Fender’s blue butterflies emerge 

in May and females lay their eggs on the 

underside of lupine leaves. The 

butterfly uses three lupine species as 

host plants for oviposition. A few weeks 

after oviposition, the eggs hatch and the 

larvae eat lupine leaves for a few weeks 

until the lupines senesce. After lupine 

senescence, the larvae enter an extended 

diapause which lasts until the following 

March. When the lupine plants 

resurface, the larvae emerge from the 

soil litter and begin eating the young 

lupine leaves until they pupate in midApril (Schultz et al. 2003). Adult 

females lay approximately 350 eggs 

(Schultz et al. 2003) over their estimated 

15-day lifespan. Of these eggs, 

approximately 1.5 will survive to 

adulthood, indicating that female 

fecundity is very low (Schultz 1998; 

Schultz et al. 2003). 

Native prairie composition, including 

short-stature grasses, provides the full 

sun conditions required for Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii plants to 

produce an abundance of leaves for 

Fender’s blue butterfly to lay eggs upon, 

whereas invasive species often cover the 

lupine leaves making it difficult for the 

butterfly to oviposition. Native nectar 

sources have been documented as 

higher quality adult food sources and 

butterfly populations dependent on low 

quality exotic vetches, may spend more 

of their limited adult flight time 

nectaring, and less time ovipositioning 

(Schultz and Dlugosch 1999). 

Schultz and Crone (2001) found that 

Fender’s blue butterfly population 

patterns are influcenced by habitat 

patch size via residence time of female 

butterflies, where butterflies emigrate 

from smaller patches more quickly than 

they do from larger patches. This 

directly influences the numbers and 

spatial distribution of eggs, and 

therefore the future number of 

butterflies. Because Fender’s blue 

butterflies only live for approximately 

two weeks, a change in residence time 

by a day markedly influences the 

distribution of eggs. 

Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii 

Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii 

flowers possess a pump or piston 

arrangement for cross-pollination by 

insects, as is common in other lupines 

(Knuth 1906; Kaye 1999). Pollination of 

L. sulphureus ssp. kincaidii appears to 

be carried out by bees visiting the 

flowers and the relatively small flowers 

attract only small bees (Wilson et al. 

2003). Several bee species have been 

documented commonly visiting L. 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii flowers, such 

as small bumblebees (Bombus mixtus 

and B. californicus), and the European 

honey bee (Apis mellifera). As described 

in Wilson et al. (2003), insect 

pollination appears to be critical for 

successful seed production in L. 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii. The 

maturation of the flowers of L. 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii promotes 

outcrossing pollination because of the 

way they mature from the bottom of the 

inflorescence to the top (Wilson et al. 

2003). 

Studies indicate that inbreeding 

depression may limit the seed set and 

seed fitness of smaller lupine 

populations (Severns 2003a; Wilson et 

al. 2003). Conserving Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii will likely 

require the outcrossing of populations 

by planting new individuals from 

different sources near existing 

populations and increasing pollinator 

connectivity between existing 

populations (Severns 2003a). 

Erigeron decumbens var. decumbens 

This species spreads vegetatively via 

rhizomes over short distances (about 4 

inches (10 cm)) (Kaye 2000) and the 

plants often grow in clumps, making it 

difficult to distinguish individuals. 

Sexual reproduction is facilitated by 

insect pollination. Pollinators include 

species such as the field crescent 

butterfly (Phyciodes campestris), sweat 

bees (Halictidae spp.), and a syrphid fly 

(Toxomerous occidentalis) (Jackson 

1996). Seeds are dispersed by wind but 

over very short distances (Clark et al. 

1993). Research indicates that 

scarification stimulates germination but 

the mechanism for seed coat 

scarification (scoring of the seed coat) in 

the wild is unknown (Clark et al. 

1995b). Germination of Erigeron 

decumbens var. decumbens seeds 

occurs mostly in April and May (Clark 

et al. 1995b). Flowering is concentrated 

in June and early July, and seeds are 

dispersed in mid to late July (Ingersoll 

et al. 1995). 

Jackson (1996) reports that remaining 

populations of Erigeron decumbens var. 

decumbens may be experiencing 

reproductive difficulties because they 

are extremely small and isolated from 

one another. Gene flow between 

individuals of a sexually-reproducing 

species is requisite for their persistence 

(Jackson 1996). Research results indicate 

that the E. decumbens var. decumbens 

is at risk of inbreeding depression 

(Jackson 1996). To reduce this risk and 

to conserve the species, it will likely be 

necessary to increase the number of 

habitat patches located in close 

proximity to one another such that 

functioning metapopulations are 

restored. This population arrangement 

provides increased opportunity for 

insects to carry pollen between 

individual plants and increases the 

likelihood of reproductive success of E. 

decumbens var. decumbens. 

Areas Representative of the Historic 

Geographical and Ecological 

Distributions of a Species 

Fender’s blue butterfly 

Conservation recommendations for 

the Fender’s blue butterfly include 

having a reserve design with a 

minimum of two populations for each 

occupied county (eight total) so that a 

local back-up is always available in case 

of site extirpations (Hammond and 

Wilson 1993). Draft recovery criteria for 

the Fender’s blue butterfly include 

having ten Fender’s blue butterfly 

metapopulations distributed across the 

historic range of the species before 

considering delisting (Schultz et al., in 

litt., 2005). By maintaining viable 

metapopulations across the species’

range, the distribution would be wide 

enough to buffer the species from 

catastrophes that may occur in portions 

of its range (Schultz et al. 2003). 

Recommendations for reserve design 

criteria for this species include 

preserving populations occurring under 

unique conditions as distinct ecological 

segregates (Hammond and Wilson 

1993). Therefore, populations occurring 

in unique habitat conditions should be 

conserved across the range of the 

species, with a reserve design that 

provides ‘‘back-up’’ populations 

occurring in the same unique habitat 

conditions. For example, a few unique 

Fender’s blue butterfly populations 

occur on valley hillsides that appear to 

be stable climax grasslands due to the 

presence of deep, fine-textured, selfmulching soils or xeric lithosols, while 

the vast majority of remaining sites 

occur on the valley floor under different 

habitat conditions (Hammond and 

Wilson 1993). 

Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii 

Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii 

populations in Douglas County, Oregon 

and Lewis County, Washington, 

represent the furthest southern and 

northern extent of the current range, 

respectively. These populations are 

highly disjunct and isolated from the 

Willamette Valley populations with 

approximately 81 miles (131 km) 

between the northernmost Willamette 

Valley population to the Lewis County, 

66500 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 211 / Wednesday, November 2, 2005 / Proposed Rules 

Washington population, and 

approximately 54 miles (87 km) 

separating Oregon’s south Willamette 

Valley populations from the Douglas 

County populations. 

The primary habitat for Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii is open 

upland prairie and meadow edges, often 

near oak trees with a relatively open 

canopy cover. Most of the Douglas 

County, Oregon, populations appear to 

tolerate more shaded habitat conditions 

with canopy cover of 50 to 80 percent 

(Barnes 2004). These plants are found in 

wooded areas dominated by 

Pseudotsuga menziesii (Douglas-fir), 

Arbutus menziesii (Pacific madrone), 

and other trees and shrubs (Barnes 

2004). Because these populations 

represent the southern-most extent of 

this species’ range, they may be adapted 

to tolerate more extreme habitat and/or 

other environmental conditions. 

Therefore, conservation of L. sulphureus 

ssp. kincaidii populations across their 

current range will require recovery units 

in Lewis County, Washington and 

Douglas County, Oregon, in addition to 

recovery units in the Willamette Valley, 

Oregon (Gisler et al., in litt., 2005). 

Erigeron decumbens var. decumbens 

Erigeron decumbens var. decumbens 

occurs on wetland prairie dominated by 

Deschampsia caespitosa. It also occurs 

on a few upland prairie sites 

characterized by a mix of native and 

non-native bunchgrasses (Jackson 1996; 

Clark 2000). Since this species occurs in 

both wet prairie and upland prairie 

habitat, conservation of representative 

populations in both of these habitat 

types is essential to the conservation of 

this species. As previously described, 

the long-term persistence of small 

populations will likely depend on 

augmentation with propagated 

individuals (Clark et al. 1995b). Since 

there are very few surviving populations 

of E. decumbens var. decumbens and 

because they occur in both wet and 

upland prairie habitats, population 

augmentations must be sensitive to 

geographic variation in genotype and 

phynotype. 

Although it may be possible to 

reestablish functioning metapopulations 

across the range of the Fender’s blue 

butterfly, Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii, and Erigeron decumbens var. 

decumbens, it is highly unlikely that 

these metapopulations will ever be 

reconnected because of the distance 

between existing populations in an 

extremely fragmented landscape. Each 

metapopulation will therefore need to 

be independently viable, supporting 

multiple populations to reduce the risk 

of localized extinction. 

With so few remaining populations of 

each of these species, losing any one of 

these populations through a natural or 

human-caused event will measurably 

increase the likelihood of extinction. 

For example, an accidental spraying of 

insecticide and/or herbicide on a 

Fender’s blue butterfly and Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii population, 

could eliminate the entire population of 

one or both species. In December 2004, 

one of the core Fender’s blue butterfly 

populations was significantly damaged 

by a herd of pigs that gained access into 

and rooted up a large area of occupied 

prairie habitat. Although the likelihood 

of such an event is variable and difficult 

to predict, the extant small populations 

are at high risk of extirpation if such an 

event were to occur. 

Primary Constituents Elements for the 

Fender’s blue butterfly, Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii and Erigeron 

decumbens var. decumbens 

Based on our current knowledge of 

the life history, biology, and ecology of 

the species and the requirements of the 

habitat to sustain life history functions 

of the species, we have determined that 

the Fender’s blue butterfly, Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii and Erigeron 

decumbens var. decumbens’s primary 

constituent elements (PCEs) are: 

The PCEs for Fender’s blue butterfly 

are: 

(1) Early seral upland prairie, oak 

savanna habitat with undisturbed 

subsoils that provides a mosaic of low 

growing grasses and forbs, and an 

absence of dense canopy vegetation 

allowing access to sunlight needed to 

seek nectar and search for mates; 

(2) Larval host-plants: Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii, L. arbustus, or 

L. albicaulis; 

(3) Adult nectar sources, such as: 

Allium acuminatum (tapertip onion), 

Allium amplectens (narrowleaf onion), 

Calochortus tolmiei (Tolmie’s mariposa 

lilly), Camassia quamash (small camas), 

Cryptantha intermedia (clearwater 

cryptantha), Eriophyllum lanatum 

(wooly sunflower), Geranium oreganum 

(Oregon geranium), Iris tenax (toughleaf 

iris), Linum angustifolium (pale flax), 

Linum perenne (blue flax), Sidalcea 

campestris (Meadow checkermallow), 

Sidalcea virgata (rose checker-mallow), 

Vicia cracca (bird vetch), V. sativa 

(common vetch) and V. hirsute (tiny 

vetch); 

(4) Stepping stone habitat: 

Undeveloped open areas with the 

physical characteristics appropriate for 

supporting the short-stature prairie, oak/ 

savanna plant community (well drained 

soils), within and between natal lupine 

patches (∼1.2 miles (∼2 km)), necessary 

for dispersal, connectivity, population 

growth, and, ultimately, viability. 

The PCEs for Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii are: 

(1) Early seral upland prairie, oak 

savanna habitat with a mosaic of low 

growing grasses, forbs, and spaces to 

establish seedlings or new vegetative 

growth, with an absence of dense 

canopy vegetation providing sunlight 

for individual and population growth 

and reproduction and with undisturbed 

subsoils and proper moisture and 

protection from competitive invasive 

species. 

(2) The presence of insect outcrossing 

pollinators, such as Bombus mixtus and 

B. californicus, with unrestricted 

movement between existing lupine 

patches, critical for successful lupine 

reproduction. 

The PCE for Erigeron decumbens var. 

decumbens is: 

(1) Early seral upland prairie, oak 

savanna habitat with a mosaic of low 

growing grasses, forbs, and spaces to 

establish seedlings or new vegetative 

growth, with an absence of dense 

canopy vegetation providing sunlight 

for individual and population growth 

and reproduction and with undisturbed 

subsoils and proper moisture and 

protection from competitive invasive 

species. 

Criteria Used To Identify Critical 

Habitat 

We are proposing to designate critical 

habitat on lands that we have 

determined were occupied at the time of 

listing and contain the primary 

constituent elements for Fender’s blue 

butterfly, Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii and Erigeron decumbens var. 

decumbens. To identify areas of habitat 

containing the features essential for the 

conservation of all three species we 

selected areas that represent the current 

distribution of each species, are of 

sufficient quality (including size) to 

contribute to functioning 

metapopulations (which provide 

connectivity among core populations) or 

which represent unique ecological 

conditions. This approach is consistent 

with the general principles of 

conserving rare and endangered species 

and their habitats (Gilpin and Soule 

1986; Goodman 1987a, 1987b; Stacey 

and Taper 1992; Lesica and Allendorf 

1995; Falk et al. 1996; Fahrig 1997; Noss 

and Csuti 1997; Huxel and Hastings 

1998; Redford and Richter 1999; 

Debinski and Holt 2000; Donaldson et 

al. 2002; Schultz et al. 2003; Wilson et 

al. 2003; Severns 2003a). 

We selected areas across the current 

distribution of Fender’s blue butterfly, 

Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii and 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 211 / Wednesday, November 2, 2005 / Proposed Rules 66501 

Erigeron decumbens var. decumbens. 

Species protected across their range face 

a lower risk of extinction than those 

protected in portions of their range 

(Soule and Simberloff 1986). This 

fundamental tenet of conservation 

biology is reflected in the draft recovery 

criteria and other reports for the 

Fender’s blue butterfly, Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii and Erigeron 

decumbens var. decumbens, which 

document the need for functioning 

metapopulations distributed across the 

current range of these species 

(Hammond and Wilson 1993; Schultz et 

al. 2003; Schultz et al., in litt., 2005; 

Gisler et al., in litt., 2005; Robinson et 

al., in litt., 2005). 

We selected occupied areas exhibiting 

the highest quality habitat by evaluating 

the following factors for each known 

occurrence: The presence of prairie 

indicator species, amount of habitat 

degradation (exotic species and 

succession to shrubs and trees), 

population size, and available 

surrounding prairie habitat to support 

population growth. Specifically, we 

selected occupied prairie habitat rated 

as moderate to high quality (USFWS 

2004a and 2004b; USFWS 2005). 

Moderate quality habitat is defined as 

those areas supporting a minimum of 

three prairie indicator species, 

providing adequate available habitat for 

population growth (surrounded by 

short-grass prairie habitat) and areas 

where habitat management activities 

would be effective at controlling threats. 

By identifying the highest quality 

occupied areas with supporting habitat 

available for population growth and 

expansion these areas are of sufficient 

size and quality to maintain viable 

populations. 

We then selected areas that provide 

for population connectivity. Fender’s 

blue butterfly habitat needs to be 

connected, ideally in a stepping-stone 

arrangement, to provide gene flow and 

demographic interaction between 

populations (Schultz 1998; Crone and 

Schultz 2003; Schultz et al. 2003; 

Schultz and Crone 2005). This 

connectivity is central to maintaining 

functioning metapopulations which are 

at lower risk of extinction than 

populations that do not interact. 

Reserves composed of functioning 

metapopulations increase the likelihood 

that recolonization of individual 

populations will occur following local 

extinctions (Huxel and Hastings 1998) 

or that populations with depressed gene 

pools will be ‘‘rescued’’, and reduce the 

risk of inbreeding depression, as 

previously described in the Space for 

Individual and Population Growth and 

Reproduction section. 

We selected areas across a wide range 

of habitat conditions (e.g., Erigeron 

decumbens var. decumbens populations 

occurring in upland prairie habitat 

tolerate drier conditions than wet 

prairie Erigeron decumbens var. 

decumbens populations). Fahrig and 

Merriam (1994) recommended 

conservation of species across the 

variety of habitats in which they are 

found to reduce the chance of losing 

disjunct populations which may have a 

unique phenotype, genotype, or 

adaptations to local environmental 

conditions. 

All sites selected based on the above 

principles were then screened with the 

following criteria which were used to 

evaluate all occupied areas supporting 

the PCEs to delineate the habitat 

containing the features essential to the 

conservation of the Fender’s blue 

butterfly, Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii and Erigeron decumbens var. 

decumbens: 

(1) We used our best professional 

judgment to select all prairie remnants 

supporting core populations distributed 

across their respective ranges. Based on 

site-specific evaluations completed 

during field verification of occurrence 

data (USFWS 2003a, 2004a, and 2004b) 

and various scientific reports (Severns 

2004; Hammond 2004; Fitzpatrick 2005; 

BLM 2005; Kuykendall and Kaye 1993a, 

1993b; Clark et al. 1993), core sites were 

identified as the highest quality sites 

which significantly contribute towards 

both local metapopulation function and 

range wide distribution. 

From the areas selected according to 

the above principles, we eliminated 

some areas from further consideration if 

they did not contain features essential 

for the conservation of the species 

because: (1) The area was highly 

degraded and may not be restorable; and 

(2) the area was small, highly 

fragmented, or isolated such that it 

would provide little or no long-term 

conservation value. 

(2) In addition to habitat patches 

meeting criteria 1 above, we evaluated 

all populations that were in close 

proximity (1.2 miles (2 km) for Fender’s 

blue butterfly and 5 miles (8 km) for 

both plant species) to core populations. 

Fender’s blue butterfly, Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii and Erigeron 

decumbens var. decumbens all require 

functioning metapopulations to ensure 

long-term persistence. Therefore, areas 

that provide stepping-stone habitat 

between two core populations of each 

species are necessary for the 

conservation of these species. These 

areas include habitat patches meeting 

the criteria below: 

(a) For Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii, we selected areas supporting 

at least 0.25 ac (0.1 ha) of plant cover 

located within 5 miles (8 km) of core 

populations; 

(b) For Erigeron decumbens var. 

decumbens, we selected areas 

supporting a minimum of 200 plants 

(estimated to be 0.6 ac (0.24 ha) based 

on average density (Clark et al. 1993)) 

located within 5 miles (8 km) of core 

populations; 

(c) For Fender’s blue butterfly, we 

selected areas within 1.2 miles (2 km) of 

a core Fender’s blue butterfly 

population and between two Fender’s 

blue butterfly populations. 

(3) To select areas in atypical 

ecological settings we used the 

following criteria: 

(a) For Fender’s blue butterfly we 

selected populations occurring on valley 

hillsides that may be climax grasslands; 

(b) For Erigeron decumbens var. 

decumbens we selected populations on 

wet and upland prairie habitats; 

(c) For Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii we selected populations in 

Douglas County, Oregon, where plants 

tend to be more shade tolerant. 

Applying the Criteria 

The PCEs were examined in 

combination with habitat maps, land 

use maps, aerial photographs, and 

occurrence data for populations meeting 

the above criteria to identify the extent 

of prairie habitat supporting viable 

species occurrences. Areas providing 

the physical and biological features 

essential to the conservation of these 

species were identified and the prairie 

habitat boundaries were digitized. Local 

land managers and scientific experts 

familiar with the prairie habitat patches 

were then asked to review prairie 

mappings to ensure that only areas able 

to support Fender’s blue butterfly, 

Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii and 

Erigeron decumbens var. decumbens 

were included within our prairie 

boundaries. The proposed critical 

habitat units were then delineated by 

overlaying those extant species 

locations meeting criteria 1–3 above, 

and mapping prairie boundaries onto 

2000 USGS 1:24,000 scale 3.75 

orthophotographic quadrangle images. 

When determining proposed critical 

habitat boundaries, effort was made to 

avoid proposing the designation of 

developed areas such as buildings, 

paved areas, and other structures that 

lack PCEs for the Fender’s blue 

butterfly, Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii and Erigeron decumbens var. 

decumbens. Any such structures 

inadvertently left inside proposed 

66502 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 211 / Wednesday, November 2, 2005 / Proposed Rules 

critical habitat boundaries are not 

considered part of the proposed unit. 

Special Management Considerations or 

Protections 

When designating critical habitat, we 

determine whether areas occupied at the 

time of listing and containing the 

primary constituent elements may 

require special management 

considerations or protections. 

Maintenance of Open Habitat 

Conditions 

Since most prairie habitat within the 

range of these species is earlysuccessional, active management is 

necessary for the conservation of all 

populations of Fender’s blue butterfly, 

Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii and 

Erigeron decumbens var. decumbens 

that occur in the proposed units 

described below. Without active 

management or natural disturbance, 

many populations may be lost to habitat 

succession (Wilson 1998a, 1998b; 

Wilson et al. 2003) as trees and shrubs 

grow and outcompete early seral plants 

and shade-out or crowd-out important 

early seral species such as L. sulphureus 

ssp. kincaidii, E. decumbens var. 

decumbens and Fender’s blue butterfly 

nectar sources. Left unmanaged, entire 

lupine populations in these early seral 

habitats may disappear (Wilson et al. 

2003). 

Fender’s blue butterfly and Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii 

Fender’s blue butterfly and Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii populations 

respond positively to habitat restoration. 

Mowing, burning and mechanical 

removal of weeds, when done 

appropriately, have all been shown to 

benefit Fender’s blue populations. At 

sites managed by TNC, the Fender’s 

blue butterfly and L. sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii populations increased 

following removal of noxious nonnative plants such as: Rubus discolor 

(Himalayan blackberry) and Cytisus 

scoparius (Scotch broom) (Fitzpatrick 

2005). Wilson and Clark (1997) studied 

the effects of controlled fire and mowing 

on Fender’s blue butterfly and its native 

upland prairie at Baskett Slough 

National Wildlife Refuge in western 

Oregon. Although fire killed all larvae 

in treated patches, nearby unburned 

(untreated) patches provided a source of 

female Fender’s blue butterflies that 

were able to recolonize the entire 

burned (treated) area. Wilson and Clark 

(1997) also found that Fender’s blue 

butterfly eggs were 10 to 14 times more 

abundant in plots that were mowed or 

burned compared to undisturbed, 

control plots. Woody plants were 

reduced 45 percent with burning and 66 

percent with mowing. At the Corps’

Fern Ridge Reservoir, the Fender’s blue 

population has increased dramatically 

since fall mowing of L. sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii patches has been 

implemented. The abundance of 

Fender’s blue butterfly eggs and L. 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii have increased 

as blackberry bushes have been 

controlled in several test plots located 

on BLM lands in Eugene, Oregon (Kaye 

and Cramer 2003). In general, Fender’s 

blue butterfly egg abundance increased 

substantially at sites treated to control 

non-native weeds (Schultz et al. 2003). 

Erigeron decumbens var. decumbens 

Since periodic fire is believed to have 

historically maintained open prairie 

conditions, the use of prescribed 

burning as a maintenance tool has been 

investigated for restoring wet prairie 

habitats (Clark and Wilson 1998). 

Studies investigating the effects of fire 

on Erigeron decumbens var. decumbens 

populations have been inconclusive, as 

to whether fire promotes or inhibits 

populations (Wilson and Clark 1997). 

Additionally, research efforts 

investigating the control of woody 

vegetation in wet prairies demonstrated 

that none of the treatments (fire, 

mowing, and hand removal of woody 

vegetation) proved to be more effective 

than the others (Clark and Wilson 2000). 

Mowing with the removal of cut 

material actually increased the presence 

of non-native herbaceous species and 

should not be used as a management 

tool (Clark and Wilson 2000). Because 

Erigeron decumbens var. decumbens 

does not tolerate the presence of woody 

vegetation, habitat management will be 

required for the long-term persistence of 

this species. Further investigation is 

needed to determine the most 

appropriate techniques for managing 

available habitat. Also, due to the low 

reproductive capability of the species, 

recovery of the E. decumbens var. 

decumbens will likely depend on 

artificially augmenting populations in 

areas where woody vegetation has been 

removed (Clark 2000). 

Reduce Habitat Fragmentation and 

Increase Population Size 

The Fender’s blue butterfly, Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii, and Erigeron 

decumbens var. decumbens are at risk of 

inbreeding depression and site 

extirpation across their respective 

ranges because populations are small 

and isolated from one another (Jackson 

1996; Schultz et al. 2003, Severns 

2003a, 2003b; Schultz et al. in prep). All 

three species will benefit from 

reestablishing prairie plant patches in 

close proximity to core populations. 

This will also establish reserve areas 

that may ultimately be needed for 

delisting (Gisler et al., in litt., 2005; 

Schultz et al., in litt., 2005). 

Efforts have been made to establish 

stepping-stones of lupine habitat 

between core Fender’s blue butterfly 

populations occurring on BLM lands 

and Corps lands. A small patch of 

Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii 

planted in 2001 between two core 

Fender’s blue butterfly populations 

became occupied by the species during 

the 2004 field season (Severns 2004). 

While inconclusive, this observation 

provides evidence that Schultz’s (1998) 

recommended stepping-stone reserve 

design may allow for successful 

dispersal between populations (Severns 

2004). Connectivity is considered 

essential to the survival of each of these 

populations (Schultz et al. in prep.; 

Severns 2004). The reserve design 

concept has been documented to likely 

benefit L. sulphureus ssp. kincaidii as 

well, since lupine patches located in 

close proximity to one another are more 

likely to be cross-pollinated. 

Schultz et al. (in prep.) completed a 

study to determine if fragmented prairie 

remnants near Eugene, Oregon, can be 

restored to a large functioning 

metapopulation that will persist over 

the long-term. Several populations 

occur in this area but they are too far 

apart for the butterfly to disperse 

(greater than 1.2 miles (2 km)) and there 

are few intervening habitat patches. 

This study specifically looked at the 

conservation potential of restorable land 

located between the populations in a 

matrix of urban and agricultural land 

uses. Results of this study indicate that 

restoring existing prairie habitat to high 

quality may result in viable but 

unconnected populations unless habitat 

between populations is also 

reestablished. 

Expanding Erigeron decumbens var. 

decumbens populations will require 

more investigation into the roles of 

sexual and vegetative reproduction of 

this species. If sexual reproduction 

proves to be most important for 

population recruitment, then mangers 

will need to focus on strategies that 

promote flowering, seed production, 

and seedling establishment (Clark 2000). 

However, if vegetative regeneration is 

predominant, then managers will need 

to focus on activities that promote ramet 

production (Clark 2000). Clark et al. 

(1995b) found that vegetative 

propagation is a viable technique for E. 

decumbens var. decumbens; 

populations may also be increased by 

sowing seeds under appropriate 

conditions, although this technique 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 211 / Wednesday, November 2, 2005 / Proposed Rules 66503 

appeared to be less effective than 

vegetative propagation. 

Roadside, Power Right-of-Way, and 

Railroad Maintenance 

Many remaining populations of 

Fender’s blue butterfly and Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii, and Erigeron 

decumbens var. decumbens populations 

occur in road right-of-ways and are 

adversely affected by maintenance 

activities such as mowing and/or 

spraying of herbicides when applied at 

the wrong time of year. In general, these 

kinds of maintenance activities should 

be implemented between August 1 and 

March 15 to avoid adverse impacts to 

these species. A few L. sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii populations along roads 

persist, likely because the routine 

maintenance provides open, full-sun 

conditions characteristic of L. 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii habitat. 

Protection 

Several Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii and Erigeron decumbens var. 

decumbens populations occur on 

private lands and consequently remain 

unprotected under existing state or 

federal statutes because these laws do 

not protect listed plants on private lands 

(Wilson et al. 2003). Limited protection 

of plant populations may be afforded 

under programs administered by the 

USDA Natural Resources Conservation 

Service, such as the Wetland Reserve 

Program. However, current program 

rules prioritize disturbed agricultural 

lands over prairie remnant habitats 

which limits the programs ability to 

protect existing plant populations since 

they typically do not occur in disturbed 

agricultural lands. Lacking statutory 

protection, Wilson et al. (2003) 

concluded that many of the plant 

populations occurring on private lands 

will likely be lost to development, 

agriculture, and invasion of weeds. 

The Fender’s blue butterfly is 

dependent primarily on L. sulphureus 

ssp. kincaidii as a larval food source and 

for egg laying (ovipositioning). When 

populations of L. sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii are destroyed, it also reduces 

the opportunity to expand existing 

Fender’s blue butterfly populations. 

Proposed Critical Habitat Designation 

We are proposing 13 units as critical 

habitat for Fender’s blue butterfly, 16 

units for Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii and 9 units for Erigeron 

decumbens var. decumbens (see Figure 

1). The critical habitat units described 

below constitute our best assessment of 

the features essential to the conservation 

of the Fender’s blue butterfly, L. 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii, and E. 

decumbens var. decumbens that were 

occupied at the time of listing, that 

contain the primary constituent 

elements, and that may require special 

management.

Fender’s blue butterfly proposed 

critical habitat encompasses 3,089 ac 

(1,250 ha); 36 percent of this area is on 

Federal land; less than 1 percent is State 

land, 2 percent is local government 

land, and 61 percent is private land. 

Proposed critical habitat for Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii encompasses 

724 ac (293 ha). Federal lands comprise 

23 percent of this proposed area; 1 

percent is State land, less than 1 percent 

is local government land, and 76 

percent is private land. Proposed critical 

habitat for Erigeron decumbens var. 

decumbens includes 718 ac (291 ha); 45 

percent of this habitat is on Federal 

land, 1 percent is State land, 1 percent 

is local government land, and 53 

percent is private land. 

Fender’s Blue Butterfly 

In total, we are proposing 13 critical 

habitat units, each of which represents 

the areas of habitat containing the 

features essential to the conservation of 

existing core populations across the 

range of the species. Collectively, these 

units provide the foundation for 8 of the 

10 Recovery Reserve areas. Each unit 

represents a core population that is 

currently isolated from other occupied 

areas and each unit was occupied at the 

time of listing. As previously identified, 

three of the Recovery Reserves will need 

to be large functioning metapopulations 

to be considered for delisting (Schultz et 

al., in litt., 2005). Therefore, to simplify 

unit descriptions we have grouped units 

that with proper management and 

restoration may function as larger 

connected metapopulations. For many 

Recovery Reserves we do not have the 

information at this time to identify 

lands that provide stepping-stone 

habitat between units that will likely be 

needed to meet recovery goals. 

However, with proper management the 

proposed critical habitat will provide 

the necessary conditions to ensure 

Fender’s blue butterfly populations will 

persist across their range. 

Unit 1 for Fender’s blue butterfly 

(Units FBB–1A and 1B): 


EP02NO05.003</GPH>
66508 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 211 / Wednesday, November 2, 2005 / Proposed Rules 

Units FBB–1A and 1B encompass 

approximately 6.25 ac (2.5 ha) and 14 ac 

(5.75 ha) respectively, of private land 

occurring within northern Yamhill 

County and within the Oak Ridge 

Recovery Reserve boundaries identified 

in the draft recovery plan (Schultz et al., 

in litt., 2005). The Oak Ridge butterfly 

population is supported by three 

separate habitat patches, and the 

population has been monitored 

annually for ten years (Hammond 2004). 

The population has become much larger 

over the last three years with an 

estimated 259 butterflies in 2004 

(Hammond 2004). FBB–1A represents 

the northern most known occupied 

habitat patch in the current range of 

Fender’s blue butterfly and occurs along 

both the east and west sides of Oak 

Creek Road. FBB–1B is located 

approximately 0.7 miles (1.1 km) south 

of FBB–1A along both the east and west 

sides of Oak Creek Road, near the 

junction with Fairdale Road. The prairie 

habitat within FBB–1A and FBB–1B 

includes the PCEs essential to the 

conservation of this core population, 

which represents the foundation for one 

of ten reserve complexes necessary for 

delisting this species (Schultz et al., in 

litt., 2005). 

In recent years the Oak Ridge butterfly 

metapopulation has been evenly 

distributed between the three lupine 

patches. However, ten years of 

monitoring reports for this population 

indicate that the number of individuals 

supported by each habitat patch has 

increased and decreased annually with 

one habitat patch disproportionately 

supporting the population each year. 

The population fluctuations 

documented at these sites are attributed 

to the following threats: Roadside 

maintenance, livestock grazing and 

presence of invasive species (Hammond 

2004). The overall population has 

remained relatively stable, likely 

because its distribution between three 

habitat patches provides opportunity for 

recolonization of impacted habitat 

patches (Hammond 2004). The prairie 

habitat within and between FBB–1A 

and 1B should be managed to allow for 

growth and expansion of this relatively 

small population in order to 

consistently maintain the population 

growth rate necessary for Recovery 

Reserves. 

This unit provides the habitat 

containing the features that are essential 

for the continued persistence of the core 

population in this portion of the 

species’ range. Establishing steppingstone habitat between FBB–1A and 1B 

will contribute towards a more 

connected functioning metapopulation. 

However, at this time we do not have 

enough information to identify 

additional potential habitat for 

population expansion that may be 

necessary to meet delisting criteria. The 

prairie habitat identified in FBB–1A and 

1B has the features essential to the 

conservation of this species because it 

has one of the largest remaining 

Fender’s blue butterfly 

metapopulations; it is supported by its 

primary host plant, Lupinus sulphureus 

ssp. kincaidii; it occurs at the northern 

most extent of the species range 

(Hammond 2004); and there is 

surrounding prairie habitat available for 

population expansion. 

Unit 2 for Fender’s blue butterfly 

(Unit FBB–2): 

Unit FBB–2 consists of approximately 

51 ac (21 ha) of private lands within 

southern Yamhill County and occurs 

within the Gopher Valley Recovery 

Reserve boundaries identified in the 

draft recovery plan (Schultz et al., in 

litt., 2005). The Gopher Valley butterfly 

population has been monitored 

annually for ten years (Hammond 2004) 

and has remained stable with a 

relatively low number of individuals 

consistently being reported (as 

compared to other stable populations) 

(Hammond 2004). The Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii habitat 

supporting this population occurs in 

two habitat patches scattered along the 

east and west sides of Gopher Valley 

Road. The largest distance separating 

lupine patches is approximately 0.12 

miles (0.2 km). This population is 

threatened by the limited availability of 

nectar sources, presence of invasive 

species, and roadside maintenance 

activities. 

With the proper management of the 

prairie habitat surrounding the 

population located within the FBB–2 

unit boundary, this area should provide 

opportunity for population growth and 

expansion of both Fender’s blue 

butterfly and Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii. Unit FBB–2 provides ease of 

Fender’s blue butterfly movement 

between lupine habitat patches, and to 

all the features essential to the 

conservation of the species. The area 

identified within the boundaries of 

FBB–2 provides the foundation for the 

Gopher Valley Recovery Reserve 

(Schultz et al., in litt., 2005). The prairie 

habitat identified in FBB–2 has the 

features essential to the conservation of 

this species because it is one of the 

largest remaining Fender’s blue butterfly 

populations in this portion of its range; 

it is supported by its primary host plant; 

it provides the foundation for the 

existence of the species in this portion 

of its range (Hammond 2004); and there 

is surrounding prairie habitat available 

for population expansion. 

Unit 3 for Fender’s blue butterfly 

(Unit FBB–3): 

Unit FBB–3 encompasses 

approximately 3.65 ac (1.5 ha) of 

primarily state-owned lands within 

northern Polk County and occurs within 

the Mill Creek Recovery Reserve 

boundaries identified in the draft 

recovery plan (Schultz et al., in litt., 

2005). The Mill Creek butterfly 

population has been monitored 

annually for ten years (Hammond 2004) 

and the overall number of individuals 

has increased over the past three years 

(Hammond 2004). The lupine habitat 

supporting this population occurs in 

two patches scattered along the 

northeast and southwest sides of 

Highway 22, near the intersection with 

Mill Creek Road. The Oregon 

Department of Transportation (ODOT) 

owns most of the habitat supporting this 

population. Hammond (2004) 

documents the history of threats to this 

unit, largely the presence of invasive 

grasses and shrubs that have overgrown 

the habitat, suppressing the lupine and 

Erigeron decumbens var. decumbens 

populations occupying this prairie 

remnant. 

Mowing activities implemented by 

ODOT in 2000 resulted in a large growth 

flush of Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii and Fender’s blue butterfly. 

This demonstrates that appropriate 

management of this site should provide 

the habitat essential for population 

growth and expansion and ultimately 

the survival of this population. Due to 

the limited availability of supporting 

prairie habitat, and the existing habitat 

being divided by the highway, this 

population will likely need to be 

augmented with other areas to meet 

Recovery Reserve criteria. However, at 

this time we do not have enough 

information to identify potential habitat 

for population expansion. It is possible 

that other populations occur nearby 

because the surrounding areas support 

large open areas that have yet to be 

surveyed. The prairie habitat identified 

in FBB–3 has the features essential to 

the conservation of this species because 

it is supported by its primary host plant; 

the population size has been increasing 

over the last few years; it is one of the 

largest remaining Fender’s blue butterfly 

populations in this portion of its range 

and it provides the core metapopulation 

for the Mill Creek Recovery Reserve 

(Schultz et al., in litt., 2005). 

Unit 4 for Fender’s blue butterfly 

(Units FBB–4A and 4B): 

Units FBB–4A and 4B encompass 

approximately 536 ac (217 ha) and 629 

ac (254 ha) respectively, of private and 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 211 / Wednesday, November 2, 2005 / Proposed Rules 66509 

Federal land occurring within northern 

Polk County and within the Baskett 

Recovery Reserve boundaries identified 

in the draft recovery plan (Schultz et al., 

in litt., 2005). Units FBB–4A and 4B are 

located adjacent to Highway 22 

approximately 5.5 miles (8.8 km) 

northeast of the City of Dallas. Units 

FBB–4A and 4B are approximately 0.12 

miles (0.2 km) apart with predominately 

agricultural lands occurring between 

these populations. An estimated 64 

percent of the habitat encompassed 

within Unit FBB–4 occurs within the 

boundaries of the Service’s Baskett 

Slough National Wildlife Refuge 

(Refuge) and approximately 36 percent 

of the prairie habitat occurs on adjacent 

private lands. Refuge biologists have 

documented the occurrence of the PCEs 

throughout the habitat within FBB–4A 

and 4B and also the Fender’s blue 

butterfly’s utilization of these areas 

(USFWS 2005). 

Many of the populations occurring in 

FBB–4A have been monitored annually 

for ten years (Hammond 2004), and 

populations occupy ten separate patches 

of Lupinus arbustus which are scattered 

across the unit. Recent survey results 

indicate that this metapopulation 

increased dramatically in size during 

2003–2004 (Hammond 2004). The total 

metapopulation size was estimated at 

223 individuals in 2001 and 

approximately 1,368 individuals in 

2004. This large surge in population is 

likely the result of both favorable 

weather conditions and habitat 

management activities implemented by 

Refuge staff during the 2001–2002 field 

seasons (Hammond 2004). Habitat 

conditions had steadily declined 

between 1993 and 2001 due to 

encroachment of grasses and brush in 

the upland prairie habitat (Hammond 

2004). These habitat conditions had 

adversely impacted not only the 

Fender’s blue butterfly but also the 

population of Erigeron decumbens var. 

decumbens supported within FBB–4A. 

Unit FBB–4 (FBB–4A and 4B) 

supports the largest known Fender’s 

blue butterfly metapopulation and the 

largest contiguous occupied prairie 

patch in the range of the species. This 

relatively large, contiguous prairie 

habitat is one of a few occupied 

remnants occurring on valley hillsides, 

with most remaining populations 

occurring on the valley floor. The open 

nature of the lands occurring between 

FBB–4A and 4B increases the potential 

for individuals to successfully disperse 

between habitat patches. Based on 

recent population increases, it is likely 

that with the continued management of 

invasive species across FBB–4A and 4B 

these units could support one of the 

three ‘‘large functioning 

metapopulations’’ required for delisting 

(Schultz et al., in litt., 2005) of the 

Fender’s blue butterfly. Each of the 

required large functioning reserves is 

distributed across the species’ range 

with this metapopulation occurring in 

the northern region. This unit has the 

features essential to the conservation of 

the species because it supports the 

largest known metapopulation, consists 

of ten connected populations and 

provides an abundance of nectaring and 

dispersal habitat that allows for 

population growth and expansion. 

Unit 5 for Fender’s blue butterfly 

(Unit FBB–5): 

Unit FBB–5 consists of approximately 

12.3 ac (5 ha) of private lands within the 

central portion of Polk County and 

occurs within the Dallas/Polk County 

Recovery Reserve boundaries (Schultz et 

al., in litt., 2005). Unit FBB–5 is located 

near the junction of Highway 223 and 

Oakdale Avenue and largely falls within 

the City of Dallas’ urban-growth 

boundary. Although Hammond (2004) 

has estimated the size of this population 

for over ten years, he documents that he 

has been unable to access the site for 

over seven years and has been limited 

to visually-obstructed roadside 

observations. During the 2004 field 

season, we met with the private 

landowner who owns one of the parcels 

currently supporting the population and 

we were able to document the extent to 

which the PCEs were distributed on 

several adjoining parcels. Additionally, 

we surveyed an adjoining parcel, which 

is listed for sale, on the south side of the 

prairie remnant, and it supports nectar 

habitat essential to the conservation of 

this population. The landowner we met 

with in 2004 has entered into a Partners 

for Fish and Wildlife Agreement 

(USFWS 2004d) and in cooperation 

with Refuge staff, has agreed to manage 

his portion of the Fender’s blue butterfly 

and Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii 

populations. The Fender’s blue butterfly 

population is threatened by the limited 

availability of food plants, presence of 

invasive species, and the impacts 

associated with the encroachment of 

urban development. Hammond (2004) 

has documented the removal of several 

acres of Fender’s blue butterfly habitat 

over the last ten years for residential 

development. 

At this time, we do not have enough 

information to specifically identify 

which surrounding areas support the 

PCEs and could contribute towards 

population expansion and the long-term 

viability of a larger metapopulation. The 

open areas to the south support prairie 

remnants that historically supported 

Fender’s blue butterfly populations and 

have been extirpated over the last ten 

years (Hammond 2004). Reintroductions 

of Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii or 

augmentations may be necessary for the 

long-term viability of the Dallas/Polk 

County Recovery Reserve. Although this 

unit likely represents only a portion of 

the area necessary for long-term 

viability of the Dallas/Polk County 

Recovery Reserve, appropriate 

management of the prairie habitat 

within FBB–5 should provide 

opportunity for population growth and 

expansion, and ultimately the survival 

of the population. Unit FBB–5 provides 

the habitat containing the features 

essential for the continued persistence 

of this core population by providing the 

‘‘backbone’’ of a larger metapopulation 

for this Recovery Reserve. 

Unit 6 for Fender’s blue butterfly 

(Units FBB–6A and 6B): 

Units FBB–6A and 6B encompass 

approximately 2.4 ac (1 ha) and 16 ac 

(6.5 ha) respectively, of private lands 

occurring within southern Polk County 

and the Dallas/Polk County Recovery 

Reserve boundaries (Schultz et al., in 

litt., 2005). Unit FBB–6A is located 

along McCaleb Road near Cooper Creek 

and Unit FBB–6B is approximately 0.8 

mile (1.4 km) south of FBB–6A along 

Monmouth Highway. Several Fender’s 

blue butterfly populations historically 

occurring south of Dallas, Oregon have 

been extirpated over the last decade 

(Hammond 2004). The habitat 

encompassed within FBB–6 (FBB–6A 

and 6B) supports the core butterfly 

population occurring at the southern 

end of the Dallas/Polk County Recovery 

Reserve. Reintroductions of Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii or 

augmentations may be necessary at 

extirpated sites to provide steppingstone habitat between FBB–5 and FBB–

6 in order to ensure for the long-term 

viability of the Dallas/Polk County 

Recovery Reserve. Unit FBB–6 

apparently provides the habitat 

containing the features essential to the 

persistence of this core population, as 

evidenced by an increasing population 

size over the last few years; it is one of 

the largest remaining Fender’s blue 

butterfly populations in this portion of 

its range and it is one of two core, 

isolated populations providing the 

‘‘backbone’’ at the southern end of this 

Recovery Reserve. 

The larval host plant found in FBB–

6B is Lupinus albicaulis, and based on 

roadside observations, Hammond (2004) 

estimates several hundred individuals 

occupy this habitat. Since L. albicaulis 

is a short-lived perennial, Hammond 

(2004) documents that without periodic 

disturbance this butterfly population 

may disappear more quickly than 

66510 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 211 / Wednesday, November 2, 2005 / Proposed Rules 

populations using L. sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii and L. arbustus as a host plant. 

However, L. albicaulis is the primary 

host plant for Puget blue butterfly 

(Icaricia icarioides blackmorei) and 

appears to serve the Puget blue quite 

well (Schultz, in litt., 2005). 

Additionally, other roadside 

populations of Polk County Fender’s 

blue butterfly supported by L. albicaulis 

have remained stable for over a decade 

(Hammond 2004). Even if the available 

habitat is transitory, it may serve as an 

important stepping-stone between other 

sites and enhance genetic exchange 

between sites over the period that the 

butterflies use the site (Schultz, in litt., 

2005). 

FBB–6A supports a roadside 

population of Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii and is located between FBB–

6B and a Fender’s blue butterfly site 

where individuals have not been seen 

for two years. FBB–6A provides 

stepping-stone habitat for Fender’s blue 

butterfly and is essential to the longterm persistence of the Dallas/Polk 

County Recovery Reserve. 

Units 7, 8, and 9 for Fender’s blue 

butterfly (Units FBB–7, FBB–8, and 

FBB–9): 

Units FBB–7, FBB–8, and FBB–9 

collectively represent the areas of 

habitat containing the features essential 

to the conservation of the Fender’s blue 

butterfly populations in northern 

Benton County, which with appropriate 

management could support one of the 

three large functioning metapopulations 

necessary for the Fender’s blue butterfly 

to be considered for delisting (Schultz et 

al., in litt., 2005). This reserve is located 

in the central region of the species range 

and consists of two large and one 

medium size populations that are 

isolated from one another. The 

availability of habitat in each of these 

units provides opportunity for 

population growth and expansion, with 

appropriate stepping-stone habitat 

conditions available for facilitating ease 

of movement within units. 

Each of these units is essential to the 

conservation of the species because they 

collectively support three of the largest 

remaining Fender’s blue butterfly 

populations in this portion of the 

species range and are located in 

relatively close proximity to one 

another, thus increasing the potential 

for interaction between populations, 

they are all supported by Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii, and there is 

surrounding prairie habitat available for 

metapopulation expansion. Steppingstone habitat between FBB–7, FBB–8, 

and FBB–9 may contribute to a yet 

larger, functioning metapopulation. The 

habitat included within each of these 

units provides the foundation for longterm persistence of each respective 

isolated population and recovery 

strategies should focus on opportunities 

to connect metapopulations to larger, 

functioning metapopulations. 

Unit 7 for Fender’s blue butterfly 

(Unit FBB–7): 

Unit FBB–7 consists of approximately 

48.3 ac (19.6 ha) of private and State 

lands within Benton County. The 

habitat in this unit supports the second 

largest known Fender’s blue butterfly 

population and occurs in McDonald 

Forest located off of Oak Creek Road. 

Approximately 14 percent of the habitat 

supporting the PCEs within FBB–7 

occurs on Oregon State University lands 

and the remaining 86 percent occurs on 

private lands. This Fender’s blue 

butterfly population has been monitored 

annually for ten years (Hammond 2004) 

and recent studies indicate this 

population has the highest chance of 

long-term persistence based on 

population trend data (Schultz et al. 

2003). 

This population is threatened by the 

encroachment of invasive grasses and 

succession to forest, especially in 

narrow areas of the meadow where tree 

encroachment could block-off portions 

of the habitat and isolate portions of the 

populations. Although a management 

plan has not been completed for this 

unit, the landowner is interested in 

maintaining the prairie habitat for the 

butterfly. In cooperation with Oregon 

State University scientists, the 

landowner is studying appropriate 

management techniques for controlling 

invasive Brachypodium sylvaticum 

(false brome). Unit FBB–7 provides a 

diverse composition of high quality 

habitat utilized by all life stages of the 

Fender’s blue butterfly. This habitat is 

uniquely located in a meadow 

surrounded by forested land and 

supports the second largest remaining 

Fender’s blue butterfly populations 

across the range of the species. This 

population provides the foundation for 

one of the three large, functioning 

metapopulations necessary for delisting 

(Schultz et al., in litt., 2005) and is 

located in the central portion of the 

species range. 

Unit 8 for Fender’s blue butterfly 

(Unit FBB–8): 

Unit FBB–8 encompasses 

approximately 717 ac (290 ha) of private 

lands within Benton County. This unit 

is located in Wren, Oregon, between 

Kings Valley Highway, Cardwell Hill 

Road and Blakesly Creek Road, 

approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) 

southwest of Unit FBB–7. Several of the 

Fender’s blue butterfly populations 

occupying this unit have been surveyed 

annually for ten years (Hammond 2004). 

A new population of Fender’s blue 

butterfly has been documented using a 

large population of Lupinus sulphureus 

ssp. kincaidii located between two of 

the regularly monitored populations of 

Fender’s blue butterfly (Hammond 

2004). The powerline right-of-way that 

runs across Unit FBB–8 appears to play 

a significant role in Fender’s blue 

butterfly dispersal between the L. 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii populations 

scattered across this large contiguous 

high quality prairie (USFWS 2004a, 

2004e). The relatively ‘‘pristine’’

(Hammond 2004), large prairie habitat 

included within Unit FBB–8 is essential 

for all life stages or this Fender’s blue 

butterfly metapopulation. This core 

metapopulation provides the foundation 

for one of the three large, functioning 

metapopulations necessary for delisting 

(Schultz et al., in litt., 2005). 

Unit 9 for Fender’s blue butterfly 

(Unit FBB–9): 

Unit FBB–9 consists of approximately 

49 ac (20 ha) of private lands located 

north of Philomath. The habitat occurs 

primarily to the south of West Hills 

Road and to the west of 19th Street. The 

Greenbelt Land Trust recently obtained 

a conservation easement for 51 percent 

of the prairie habitat supporting this 

population. Adult Fender’s blue 

butterfly individuals have been 

observed using the nectaring habitat in 

this remnant prairie and many of the 

Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii 

populations scattered throughout the 

unit. The Fender’s blue butterfly 

population utilizing the eastern portion 

of this site has been monitored for the 

last five years (Hammond 2004). Threats 

to this site include encroachment of 

invasive species, trees and shrubs, and 

a small portion of the Unit FBB–9 is 

located along West Hills Road and 

impacted by roadside maintenance 

activities. Unit FBB–9 provides the 

habitat essential for all life stages of this 

butterfly population, and one of the core 

populations that are the foundation for 

one of the three, large functioning 

metapopulations necessary for delisting 

(Schultz et al., in litt., 2005). 

Units 10, 11, and 12 for Fender’s blue 

butterfly (Unit FBB–10, FBB–11, and 

FBB–12): 

Units FBB–10, FBB–11, and FBB–12, 

support the core populations essential 

to the conservation of the species in this 

southern portion of their range. 

Collectively, these units provide the 

foundation for the conservation of a 

third large, functioning Fender’s blue 

butterfly metapopulation within the 

west Eugene Recovery Reserve 

boundaries (Schultz et al., in litt. 2005). 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 211 / Wednesday, November 2, 2005 / Proposed Rules 66511 

Additionally, recent studies indicate 

that the areas collectively proposed in 

Units FBB–10, FBB–11, and FBB–12 are 

essential for the long-term viability of 

this larger metapopulation (Schultz et 

al. in prep.). 

This reserve supports three core 

populations that are mostly isolated 

from one another (greater than 0.93 

miles (1.5 km) from the nearest 

occupied lupine patch) with a few 

stepping-stone populations located 

between core populations. The 

availability of habitat within each of 

these units provides opportunity for 

population growth and expansion, as 

well as areas appropriate for steppingstone habitat that will facilitate ease of 

movement within units. Each of these 

units is essential to the conservation of 

the species because they collectively 

support two of the largest remaining 

Fender’s blue butterfly metapopulations 

(FBB–10 and FBB–12), the two 

metapopulations are located in 

relatively close proximity to one another 

providing a unique opportunity to 

reestablish a larger connected set of 

populations that functions as a viable 

metapopulation, the butterfly 

populations are all supported by 

Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii, and 

there is surrounding prairie habitat 

available for population expansion. 

Stepping-stone habitat in FBB–11 is 

necessary to provide connectivity 

between core butterfly populations to 

ensure the long-term persistence of this 

metapopulation. 

Unit 10 for Fender’s blue butterfly 

(Unit FBB–10A and 10B): 

Unit FBB–10A and 10B encompass 

approximately 50 ac (20.5 ha) and 463 

ac (188 ha) of prairie habitat, 

respectively, in Lane County, Oregon. 

The prairie habitat included within 

FBB–10A and 10B occurs on BLM and 

Corps land (60 percent), private lands 

(32 percent), and County lands (8 

percent). Each of these subunits support 

a core metapopulation of Fender’s blue 

butterfly and Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii which have been surveyed 

annually since 1993 (Severns 2004; 

Fitzpatrick 2005). Eighty-four percent of 

the area included within FBB–10A 

occurs on Corps lands located near 

Shore Lane, NE Fern Ridge Reservoir. 

The populations occupying FBB–10A 

require tall-oat grass management 

because this invasive grass now covers 

100 percent of the habitat supporting all 

six populations (Severns 2004). 

Nevertheless, the 2004 population 

surveys reported the largest number of 

individuals ever observed at the site; the 

population size more than doubled 

between 2003 and 2004. The Corps has 

reestablished populations of Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii between core 

Fender’s blue butterfly populations 

located within this unit to provide 

butterfly stepping-stone habitat and 

increase connectivity. In 2001, a small 

patch of L. sulphureus ssp. kincaidii 

was planted on the side of a spoil 

mound, on the south side of the 

Amazon Canal. The Fender’s blue 

butterfly was documented using this 

lupine patch during the 2004 field 

season. This demonstrates that the 

recommended stepping-stone reserve 

design (Schultz 1998) will allow for 

successful dispersal between core 

populations occurring on Corps lands in 

FBB–10A and on BLM lands in FBB–

10B (Severns 2004). This connection is 

considered essential to the survival of 

each of these populations (Schultz et al. 

in prep.; Severns 2004). 

Approximately two-thirds of the 

prairie habitat included within FBB–

10B occurs on publicly owned lands, 

primarily BLM, but also Corps and 

County lands, and the remaining onethird occurs on adjacent private lands. 

The center of this unit occurs near the 

intersection of Fir Butte Road and the 

Amazon Canal. Portions of the habitat 

occurring on BLM land are severely 

threatened by the closed canopy cover 

of Rubus discolor that has overtaken 

large areas of the site (Kaye 2004). 

Fender’s blue butterfly populations 

supported by the habitat within FBB–

10B would benefit from adult nectar 

source augmentations (Severns 2004). 

Habitat management will be necessary 

to increase the size and connectivity of 

butterfly populations by restoring 

additional stepping-stone habitat 

patches that enhance the connection 

between the core populations occupying 

FBB–10A and FBB–10B ((Schultz et al. 

in prep). Unit FBB–10 (FBB–10A and 

FBB–10B) provides the habitat 

containing the features essential for two 

butterfly populations. This unit 

includes one of the most contiguous 

prairie remnants, increasing the 

potential for connectivity between these 

two core populations and provides the 

foundation for reestablishing a large 

functioning metapopulation within the 

west Eugene Recovery Reserve 

boundaries (Schultz et al., in litt., 2005). 

Unit 11 for Fender’s blue butterfly 

(Unit FBB–11A, 11B, 11C, 11D, and 

11E): 

Unit FBB–11A consists of 15.5 ac (6.3 

ha) of privately owned land. FBB–11B 

includes approximately 14 ac (5.7 ha) of 

primarily BLM land (94 percent) with 6 

percent occurring on private lands. 

FBB–11C encompasses approximately 

22 ac (9 ha) with 94 percent occurring 

on BLM land and 6 percent on private 

lands. FBB–11D encompasses 

approximately 188 ac (76 ha) with 88 

percent on publicly owned lands 

(County, BLM, and State) and 12 

percent on private lands. FBB–11E 

consists of approximately 4.5 ac (1.8 ha) 

of land entirely owned by Lane County. 

Most of the lupine populations scattered 

across the prairie habitat within this 

unit are relatively small, but the habitat 

supporting them is essential to the longterm viability of a larger functioning 

Fender’s blue butterfly metapopulation 

in this southern portion of the species 

range (Schultz et al. in prep). 

The area included within this unit 

provides needed stepping-stone habitat 

between the BLM/Corps metapopulation 

to the northwest and TNC 

metapopulations to the southeast 

(Schultz et al. in prep). Local land 

managers recently surveyed this area to 

identify habitat patches suitable for 

reestablishing Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii populations as stepping-stones 

for the Fender’s blue butterfly (Schultz 

et al. in prep.). The areas they identified 

occur within this unit boundary and 

this habitat will need to be enhanced to 

increase the size and connectivity of 

butterfly populations by restoring 

patches between core metapopulations 

within FBB–10 and FBB–12 (Schultz et 

al. in prep.). Unit FBB–11 (FBB–11A, 

11B, 11C, 11D, and 11E) provides the 

habitat essential for all life stages of this 

butterfly population because it includes 

habitat to reestablish connectivity 

between two of the largest remaining 

metapopulations, and it increases 

viability of all populations in this 

portion of the species range. The habitat 

included within FBB–11 is essential for 

reestablishing connectivity between 

existing metapopulations and providing 

for a large functioning metapopulation 

(Schultz et al. in prep.). 

Unit 12 for Fender’s blue butterfly 

(Units FBB–12A and 12B): 

Units FBB–12A and 12B encompasses 

approximately 114.4 ac (46 ha) with the 

majority of this land occurring on TNC 

property and are located near the 

intersection of Bailey Hill Road and 

Bertelson Road. The Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii and Fender’s 

blue butterfly populations are scattered 

across the 508 ac (206 ha) of remnant 

prairie known as the Willow Creek 

Natural Area (Fitzpatrick 2005). FBB–

12A and 12B function as a 

metapopulation and collectively 

represent the third largest Fender’s blue 

butterfly metapopulation across the 

range of the species. The populations 

occurring within this unit have been 

monitored for over 10 years (Fitzpatrick 

2005). 

The habitat within FBB–12A and 12B 

is threatened by exotic vegetation and 

66512 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 211 / Wednesday, November 2, 2005 / Proposed Rules 

succession to woody vegetation. To 

ensure viability of the Willow Creek 

metopopulation, the area within this 

unit should be enhanced to provide 

opportunity for population growth and 

expansion (Schultz et al. in perp). Unit 

FBB–12 (FBB–12A and 12B) has the 

features essential to the conversation of 

the specifies because it includes some of 

the highest quality remaining upland 

prairie, supports the large core 

metapopulation in this portion of the 

species range, and the metapopulation 

is fundamental to the persistence of this 

larger functioning metapopoulation 

(Schultz et al. in prep) located with the 

West Eugene Recovery Reserve 

boundaries (Schultz et al. in litt., 2005). 

Unit 13 for Fender’s blue butterfly 

(Unit FBB–13): 

Unit FBB–13 encompasses 

approximately 133 ac (54 ha) of private 

land that supports several patches of 

primarily Lupinus arbustus scattered 

across the remnant prairie. The Fender’s 

blue butterfly population occupying this 

unit has been monitored since 1993 

(Fitzpatrick 2005). This habitat supports 

one of the largest remaining butterfly 

populations and it supports a diverse 

flora of native plants (Schultz 2004). 

The habitat included in this unit is very 

different than the populations growing 

on the valley floor (Hammond and 

Wilson 1993). Hammond and Wilson 

(1993) indicate this population should 

be regarded as a distinct ecological 

segregate that should be preserved in a 

unique population. The size, quality 

and its unique ecological conditions 

make this unit essential to the 

conservation of the species. 

Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii 

We present, below, brief descriptions 

of all units, and reasons they are 

essential for the conservation of the 

Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii. In 

total, we propose 16 critical habitat 

units, each of which represents the 

habitat containing the features essential 

to the conservation of core populations 

across the range of the species. To 

simplify unit descriptions we have 

grouped units that are within pollinator 

distance of one another, and may 

function as larger, connected 

metapopulations with proper 

management and restoration. For many 

Recovery Reserves we do not have the 

information at this time to identify 

lands that provide stepping-stone 

habitat between units which will likely 

be needed to meet recovery goals. 

However, the proposed critical habitat 

will provide the foundation for L. 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii populations to 

persist across their range. 

Unit 1 of Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii (Units KL–1A and 1B): 

Units KL–1A and 1B consists of 

approximately 6 ac (2.5 ha) of private 

land in Lewis County, Washington. 

There are only two small populations of 

Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii 

remaining in Washington. These 

populations are highly disjunct from the 

Willamette Valley populations with an 

estimated 81 miles (131 km) separation. 

Conservation biology principles include 

providing for the conservation of a 

species over a range of habitat types to 

reduce the chance of losing disjunct 

populations representing important 

conservation value for their adaptation 

to local environmental conditions and 

their genetic uniqueness (Fahrig and 

Merriam 1994). In keeping with this 

principle, the draft recovery criteria for 

this species identify the need to have 

populations conserved across their 

current range (Gisler et al., in litt., 

2005). Unit KL–1 (KL–1A and KL–1B) 

includes the highest quality prairie 

habitat supporting L. sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii in this northern-most extent of 

its range. This habitat will likely need 

to be actively managed to expand the 

current populations and re-establish 

lupine patches in relative close 

proximity (3–5 miles (5–8 km)) to one 

another. At this time, we do not have 

enough information to identify 

additional potential habitat for 

population expansion, which will likely 

be necessary for these populations to 

function as a viable metapopulation and 

meet delisting criteria. The prairie 

habitat identified in this unit has the 

features essential to the conservation of 

this species because it supports two of 

the remaining L. sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii populations in the northernmost extent of the species’ range, and 

there is surrounding prairie habitat 

available for population expansion. 

Unit 2 of Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii (Unit KL–2 A and 2B): 

Unit KL–2A and 2B encompass 

approximately 6.25 ac (2.5 ha) and 14 ac 

(5.75 ha) respectively, of private land in 

northern Yamhill County. KL–2A 

supports Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii patches along both the east 

and west sides of Oak Creek Road. KL–

2B is located approximately 0.68 miles 

(1.1 km) south of KL–2A along both the 

east and west sides of Oak Creek Road, 

near the junction with Fairdale Road. 

Yamhill County is responsible for 

roadside maintenance activities along 

Oak Creek Road that may adversely 

impact these plant populations. The 

prairie habitat within KL–2 (KL–2A and 

2B) includes the PCEs essential to the 

conservation of this core population. 

Habitat management will be necessary 

to maintain the short-grass stature of the 

native prairie and provide the habitat 

conditions essential to the conservation 

of L. sulphureus ssp. kincaidii. The 

Fender’s blue butterfly uses L. 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii at this site as 

a primary host plant and 100 percent of 

Unit KL–1 is included within Unit FBB–

1. 

Threats to this Lupinus sulphureus 

ssp. kincaidii unit include road 

maintenance, livestock grazing, and 

presence of invasive species (Hammond 

2004). The distribution of habitat 

patches in relatively close proximity to 

each other has likely contributed to the 

persistence of this population. Impacts 

to this population over the years have 

typically affected only one habitat patch 

at any given time since they are 

scattered across the prairie habitat. The 

prairie habitat within KL–2 will likely 

need to be managed to allow for growth 

and expansion of this relatively small 

population in order to meet recovery 

goals. Severns (2003a) indicates that the 

stepping-stone reserve design 

recommended for the conservation of 

Fender’s blue butterfly will also benefit 

L. sulphureus ssp. kincaidii 

populations. Increasing the number of 

lupine patches in close proximity to one 

another will likely increase the chances 

for outcrossing pollination, which is 

essential to the conservation of this 

species. 

This population will likely need to 

function with other populations to form 

a more viable metapopulation in order 

for the species to persist over the longterm. At this time we do not have 

enough information to identify 

additional potential habitat for 

population expansion that will be 

necessary for this metapopulation to 

meet delisting criteria. Although there 

are other reported occurrences in the 

general vicinity, those sites did not meet 

the minimum patch size for draft 

recovery criteria, were highly degraded, 

or were roadside without potential for 

population expansion, and were not 

considered essential to the conservation 

of this population. Unit KL–2 provides 

the habitat essential for the continued 

persistence of a core population in this 

portion of species range. This unit has 

the features essential to the conservation 

of this species because even with a 

relatively small population size, it 

supports one of the largest remaining 

Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii 

populations, it represents the northernmost Willamette Valley population, and 

it provides surrounding prairie habitat 

for population expansion. 

Units 3 and 4 of Lupinus sulphureus 

ssp. kincaidii (Unit KL–3 and KL–4): 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 211 / Wednesday, November 2, 2005 / Proposed Rules 66513 

These units each support a Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii population 

that, collectively, may function as a 

larger metapopulation. These units are 

located approximately 2.3 miles (3.7 

km) apart and likely have at least rare 

cross pollination events. Active 

management may be necessary to both 

enhance these populations and identify 

opportunities to increase pollinator 

connectivity between units. At this time 

we do not have enough information to 

identify additional potential habitat for 

population expansion, which will likely 

be necessary for these populations to 

function as a larger metapopulation. 

Although there are other small, mostly 

roadside populations recorded within 

the estimated 5 miles (8 km) pollinator 

distance, most are highly degraded, 

presumed extinct, or too small to meet 

Recovery Reserve design criteria, and 

are not proposed for critical habitat. 

Each of these units have the features 

essential to the conservation of the 

species because they each support the 

largest remaining populations in this 

portion of their range, are located in 

relatively close proximity to one 

another, increasing potential for cross 

pollination and increased reproductive 

success, and there is surrounding prairie 

habitat available for population 

expansion. 

Unit 3 of Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii (Unit KL–3): 

Unit KL–3 consists of approximately 

51 ac (21 ha) of private lands within 

Yamhill County. The Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii population is 

comprised of several populations 

scattered along the east and west sides 

of Gopher Valley Road near its 

intersection with Dupee Road. Yamhill 

County is responsible for roadside 

maintenance activities along Gopher 

Valley Road that may adversely impact 

this population of L. sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii. The largest distance 

separating lupine populations is 

approximately 0.12 mi (0.2 km). This 

population is threatened by the 

presence of invasive species; the 

relatively small, isolated nature of the 

population; and impacts associated with 

roadside maintenance activities. The 

Fender’s blue butterfly uses L. 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii at this site as 

a primary host plant, and 100 percent of 

Unit KL–3 is included in Unit FBB–2. 

The prairie habitat within KL–3 

should be managed to allow for growth 

and expansion of this relatively small 

population. Increasing the number of 

Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii 

patches in close proximity to one 

another will increase the chances for 

outcrossing pollination, which is 

essential to the conservation of this 

species. Because of the limited 

availability of supporting prairie habitat, 

this population will need to function 

with other populations as a larger, more 

viable metapopulation in order to 

persist over the long term. This prairie 

habitat should be actively managed in 

order to maintain the short-grass prairie 

stature essential for the conservation of 

Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii and 

provide opportunity for population 

growth and expansion. Unit KL–3 is 

essential for the continued persistence 

of a functioning metapopulation in this 

portion of the species’ range. 

Unit 4 of Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii (Unit KL–4A and 4B): 

Unit KL–4A and 4B consists of 

approximately 69 ac (28 ha) of private 

lands in Yamhill County and is located 

west of Muddy Valley Road and south 

of Eagle Point Road. The Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii populations 

are relatively small and scattered across 

this large, contiguous prairie remnant. 

The L. sulphureus ssp. kincaidii 

population within this unit boundary is 

one of only a few populations supported 

by extensive areas of the short-grass 

prairie necessary for population growth 

and expansion. This habitat should be 

managed in a way that enhances the L. 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii population so 

that the plantextends across the 

available habitat, ideally with 

populations located between 0.3 and 0.6 

mi (0.5 and 1 km) apart, mimicking 

historic prairie conditions. Unit KL–4 

(KL–4A and 4B) provides the habitat 

that has the features essential for the 

continued persistence of this core 

population, and, together with the 

habitat included in Unit KL–3, these 

areas are fundamental to the continued 

persistence of a viable metapopulation 

in this portion of the species’ range. 

Summary of Units 5 and 6 of Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii (Unit KL–5 

and KL–6): 

Units KL–5 and KL–6 are both 

primarily State-owned lands managed 

by the ODOT, and each support 

populations of Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii in this portion of the species’

range that collectively may function as 

a larger metapopulation. These units are 

both relatively small, but they are two 

of the largest remaining populations in 

this portion of the species’ range. In 

addition, they are within the estimated 

5 mi (8 km) pollinator distance of one 

another, and therefore may be 

functioning as a larger more viable 

metapopulation. However, if cross 

pollination between habitat patches 

occurs, it is likely a rare event. Active 

management will likely be necessary to 

both enhance these populations and 

identify opportunities to increase 

pollinator connectivity between units. 

At this time, we do not have enough 

information to identify additional 

potential habitat for population 

expansion, which will likely be 

necessary for these populations to 

regularly function as a larger 

metapopulation. Although there are 

other small, mostly roadside 

populations recorded within the 

estimated 5 mi (8 km) pollinator 

distance, most are highly degraded, 

presumed extinct, or too small to meet 

Recovery Reserve design criteria and not 

expected to contribute towards the longterm persistence of this species. Each of 

these units have the features essential to 

the conservation of the species because: 

(1) They support the largest remaining 

populations in this portion of their 

range; (2) they are located in relatively 

close proximity to one another, 

increasing potential for cross pollination 

and increased reproductive success; and 

(3) there is surrounding prairie habitat 

available for population expansion. 

Unit 5 of Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaiddi (Unit KL–5): 

Unit KL–5 encompasses 

approximately 1.7 ac (0.7 ha) of ODOT 

land in southern Yamhill County and is 

located south of State Highway 18, east 

of Ballston Road, and approximately 0.6 

mi (1 km) south of the Yamhill River. 

Although the overall prairie remnant 

supporting the population is small, the 

population of Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaiddi is relatively large, with over a 

1,000 individuals reported to occupy 

the unit. The prairie habitat within and 

between KL–5 and KL–6 should be 

managed to allow for growth and 

expansion of these small populations. 

Severns (2003a) indicates that the 

stepping-stone reserve design 

recommended for the conservation of 

Fender’s blue butterfly will also benefit 

L. sulphureus ssp. kincaiddi 

populations. Increasing the number of 

lupine patches in close proximity to one 

another will likely increase the chances 

for outcrossing pollination, which will 

increase long-term viability of the 

metapopulation. Unit KL–5 provides the 

habitat containing the features essential 

for the continued persistence of this 

core population and, together with the 

habitat included in Unit KL–6, is 

fundamental to the continued 

persistence of a functioning 

metapopulation in this portion of the 

species’ range. 

Unit 6 of Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaiddi (Unit KL–6): 

Unit KL–6 encompasses 

approximately 3.5 ac (1.5 ha) of 

primarily ODOT land in northern Polk 

County. The Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaiddi population occurs in two 

66514 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 211 / Wednesday, November 2, 2005 / Proposed Rules 

patches scattered along the northeast 

and southwest sides of Highway 22, 

near the intersection with Mill Creek 

Road. The Fender’s blue butterfly uses 

the L. sulphureus ssp. kincaiddi at this 

site as a primary host plant, and 100 

percent of Unit KL–6 is included in Unit 

FBB–5. Additionally, a small population 

of Erigeron decumbens var. decumbens 

occurs at this site. Hammond (2004) has 

documented that invasive grasses and 

shrubs have repressed the L. sulphureus 

ssp. kincaiddi and E. decumbens var. 

decumbens populations occupying this 

prairie remnant. There are also the 

impacts associated with roadside 

populations described above in the 

Special Management Considerations or 

Protections section. 

Although Unit KL–6 has limited 

available prairie habitat directly 

adjacent to the area currently supporting 

the species, mowing activities 

implemented by ODOT in 2000 resulted 

in an increase of Lupinus sulphureus 

ssp. kincaiddi and Fender’s blue 

butterfly. This demonstrates that 

appropriate management of this site 

does provide opportunity for population 

growth and expansion and, ultimately 

for the survival of this small population. 

Unit KL–6 provides the habitat 

containing the features essential for the 

continued persistence of the core 

population, and together with Unit KL–

5, strengthens this core reserve area and 

is fundamental to the continued 

persistence of a functioning 

metapopulation in this portion of the 

species’ range. It is likely that other 

populations occur in the near vicinity 

because the surrounding area is fairly 

undeveloped and much of this land has 

never been surveyed for L. sulphureus 

ssp. kincaiddi. 

Unit 7 of Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaiddi (Unit KL–7): 

Unit KL–7 consists of approximately 

12.3 ac (5 ha) of private lands in central 

Polk County. This unit is located near 

the junction of Highway 223 and 

Oakdale Avenue, and largely falls 

within the City of Dallas’ urban-growth 

boundary. The Fender’s blue butterfly 

uses Lipinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii 

at this site as a primary host plant, and 

100 percent of Unit KL–7 is included in 

Unit FBB–5. This butterfly population 

was monitored consistently between 

1993 and 1997, but not again until May 

2004. During the May 2004 field season, 

we met with the private landowner who 

owns one of the land parcels currently 

supporting the population of L. 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii occurring 

within this unit boundary. We were able 

to document the extent of the area 

supporting the PCEs across the 

landscape and determined that a 

significant portion of the area 

historically supporting L. sulphureus 

ssp. kincaidii and Fender’s blue 

butterfly populations has been 

developed into residential lots. 

Hammond (2004) has documented the 

removal of several acres of habitat over 

the last 10 years that had historically 

supported this population. The 

landowner we met with in 2004 has 

entered into a Partners for Fish and 

Wildlife Agreement (USFWS 2004d) 

and, in cooperation with Refuge staff, 

has agreed to manage the portion of 

Fender’s blue butterfly and L. 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii habitat 

occurring on his property. This 

population is threatened by the 

presence of invasive species and the 

impacts associated with the 

encroachment of urban development. 

The area identified within the 

boundaries of KL–7 includes the 

features essential to the conservation of 

this core population in this portion of 

the species’ range. Because of the 

limited availability of supporting prairie 

habitat, this population will likely need 

to function with other populations as a 

larger, viable metapopulation in order 

for the species to persist over the long 

term. At this time, we do not have 

enough information to specifically 

identify which surrounding areas 

supporting the PCEs will likely be 

necessary for the long-term viability of 

this larger metapopulation. The open 

areas to the south support roadside 

prairie remnants that historically had 

Lipinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii 

populations that have been extirpated 

over the last 10 years (Hammond 2004). 

Summary of Units 8, 9, and 10 of 

Lipinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii (Units 

KL–8, KL–9, and KL–10): 

These units each support a Lipinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii population 

that, collectively, may function as a 

larger metapopulation. These units are 

located approximately 3.7 mi (6 km) 

apart and may, at least occasionally, be 

cross-pollinated by insects. Active 

management will likely be necessary to 

both enhance these populations and 

identify opportunities to increase 

pollinator connectivity between units. 

Each of these units contain the habitat 

that have the features essential to the 

conservation of the species because: (1) 

They each support a relatively large 

population; and (2) they are located in 

relatively close proximity to one 

another, thus increasing potential for 

cross pollination and increased 

reproductive success; and (3) there is 

surrounding prairie habitat available for 

population expansion. At this time, we 

do not have enough information to 

identify additional potential habitat for 

population expansion, which may be 

necessary for these populations to 

regularly function as a larger 

metapopulation. Although there are 

other small, mostly roadside 

populations recorded within the 

estimated 5 mi (8 km) pollinator 

distance, most are highly degraded, 

presumed extinct, or too small to meet 

Recovery Reserve criteria, and not 

expected to contribute towards the longterm persistence; they are therefore not 

proposed as critical habitat. 

Unit 8 of Lipinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii (Unit KL–8): 

Unit KL–8 consists of approximately 

28.2 ac (11 ha) of private and State lands 

in Benton County. This unit occurs in 

McDonald Forest located off Oak Creek 

Road and supports one of the highest 

quality remaining prairies. The Lipinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii occupying this 

unit is the primary host plant of the 

Fender’s blue butterfly; this site is the 

second largest known Fender’s blue 

butterfly population, and 100 percent of 

Unit KL–8 is included in Unit FBB–7. 

Approximately 14 percent of the lands 

supporting the PCEs within this unit 

occurs on Oregon State University 

lands, and the remaining 86 percent 

occurs on private lands. The patches of 

L. sulphureus ssp. kincaidii occupying 

Unit KL–8 are scattered across a large 

contiguous prairie habitat, which is one 

of few occupied remnants occurring on 

valley hillsides. Unit KL–8 provides 

high quality upland prairie habitat, 

including the short-grass stature 

necessary to maintain the openness of 

the habitat. This population is, however, 

threatened by the encroachment of 

invasive grasses, particularly 

Brachypodium sylvaticum, and 

succession to forest, especially in 

narrow areas of the meadow where tree 

encroachment could block-off portions 

of the habitat and reduce connectivity 

between lupine patches, thus decreasing 

the potential for successful outcrossing 

pollination. Although a management 

plan for this area has not been 

completed, the unit has been managed 

for several years to enhance populations 

of both the Fender’s blue butterfly and 

L. sulphureus ssp. kincaidii. 

The continued management of these 

lands is essential to the conservation of 

this population. The prairie habitat 

identified in Unit KL–8 has the features 

essential to the conservation of this 

species because: (1) It is one of the 

largest remaining contiguous prairie 

patches supporting a large population of 

Lipinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii; and 

(2) there is surrounding prairie habitat 

available for population expansion; and 

(3) this subpopulation substantially 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 211 / Wednesday, November 2, 2005 / Proposed Rules 66515 

increases the long-term viability of 

neighboring populations. 

Unit 9 of Lipinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii (Unit KL–9): 

Unit KL–9 encompasses 

approximately 48 ac (20 ha) of private 

lands within Benton County. This unit 

is located in Wren, Oregon, between 

Kings Valley Highway, Cardwell Hill 

Road, and Blakesly Creek Road, 

approximately 2 mi (3.2 km) southwest 

of Unit KL–8. The Fender’s blue 

butterfly uses the Lipinus sulphureus 

ssp. kincaidii scattered across this unit 

as a primary host plant, and 100 percent 

of Unit KL–9 is included in Unit FBB–

8. The estimated average distance 

between lupine patches is 0.6 mi (1 km), 

providing excellent habitat conditions 

for outcrossing pollination between 

lupine individuals. 

This historic population was first 

documented in 1937 (Hammond 2004), 

and new information has recently been 

identified about the distribution of the 

larger Lipinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii 

metapopulation supported across this 

prairie remnant (Hammond 2004). A 

new patch of L. sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii, also occupied by the Fender’s 

blue butterfly, has been documented 

within this prairie remnant and is 

located between the two populations 

that have been monitored annually 

(Hammond 2004). The relatively 

‘‘pristine’’ (Hammond 2004), large, 

prairie habitat included within this unit 

provides the short-grass prairie stature 

required for expansion of the L. 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii population. 

The prairie habitat identified in Unit 

KL–9 has the features essential to the 

conservation of this species because: (1) 

It is one of the largest remaining 

contiguous prairie patches supporting a 

large population of L. sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii; (2) it provides opportunity for 

population expansion; and (3) this 

population substantially increases the 

long-term viability of neighboring 

populations. 

Unit 10 of Lipinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii (Unit KL–10): 

Unit KL–10 consists of approximately 

18 ac (7 ha) of private lands within 

Benton County and is located north of 

Philomath, with the habitat occurring 

primarily to the south of West Hills 

Road and to the west of 19th Street. This 

unit provides the features essential to 

the Lipinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii 

population that serves as the primary 

host plant for a large population of 

Fender’s blue butterfly. All of the area 

within Unit KL–10 is included in Unit 

FBB–9. The Greenbelt Land Trust 

recently obtained a conservation 

easement for the habitat and began 

managing prairie to enhance the areas 

supporting the features essential to the 

conservation of both the L. sulphureus 

ssp. kincaidii and Fender’s blue 

butterfly populations. 

Threats to this site include 

encroachment of invasive species, trees, 

and shrubs. A small portion of Unit KL–

10 is located along West Hills Road and 

is impacted by roadside maintenance 

activities. The long-term viability of this 

unit will depend on active management 

that maintains the short-grass prairie 

habitat within this unit and provides 

opportunity to expand the existing 

population of Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii. The continued management of 

these lands is essential to the 

conservation of this population. The 

prairie habitat identified in Unit KL–10 

has the features essential to the 

conservation of this species because: (1) 

It is one of the highest quality remaining 

prairie patches supporting L. sulphureus 

ssp. kincaidii; (2) there is surrounding 

prairie habitat available for population 

expansion; and (3) this population 

substantially increases the long-term 

viability of neighboring populations. 

Units 11 and 12 of Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii (Units KL–11 

and KL–12): 

Units KL–11 (KL–11A, 11B, 11C, 11D, 

and 11E) and KL–12 (KL–12A, 12B, 12C, 

12D, and 12E) collectively represent a 

series of upland habitat patches 

distributed across West Eugene 

interspersed with wet prairie habitat 

patches. This extensive network of 

wetland and upland prairie does not 

occur anywhere else in the Willamette 

Valley. Units KL–12A, 12B and 12C 

collectively provide a series of steppingstone habitat patches between the 

Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii 

populations supported by habitat within 

KL–12D and KL–12E and those 

populations occupying Unit KL–11. 

Increasing the number of lupine patches 

in close proximity to one another 

increases the chances for outcrossing 

pollination, which is required for 

successful reproduction. Both of these 

units contain the habitat that have the 

featues essential to the conservation of 

the species because: (1) They each 

support the largest remaining L. 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii populations in 

this portion of their range; (2) they are 

located in relatively close proximity to 

one another, thus increasing potential 

for cross pollination and increased 

reproductive success; and (3) there is 

substantial surrounding prairie habitat 

available for population expansion. 

Although there are other small, mostly 

roadside populations recorded within 

the estimated 5 mi (8 km) pollinator 

distance, most are highly degraded, 

presumed extinct, or too small to meet 

Recovery Reserve criteria, and therefore 

not proposed as critical habitat. 

Unit 11 of Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii (Unit KL–11A, 11B, 11C, 11D, 

and 11E): 

Unit KL–11 encompasses 

approximately 65 ac (26 ha) of prairie 

habitat distributed across Federal and 

private lands in Lane County. This unit 

is located in west Eugene, near the Fern 

Ridge Reservoir, just south of Clearlake 

Road, and on both the east and west 

sides of Fir Butte Road. The area 

included in Units KL–11A, 11B, 11C, 

11D, and 11E, collectively represent the 

areas containing the habitat that has the 

features essential to the conservation of 

a currently functioning Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii 

metapopulation. The Fender’s blue 

butterfly uses the L. sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii within this unit as a primary 

host plant and 100 percent of Unit KL–

11 is included in Unit FBB–10. 

The habitat within Unit KL–11 

primarily occurs on Federal land 

managed by the BLM and Corps, with 

12 percent occurring on private land. 

The Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii 

populations occurring in KL–11A, 11B, 

11C, and 11D are scattered across the 

area and form separate habitat patches 

that encircle the northeast edge of the 

Fern Ridge Reservoir. Although the 

Corps actively manages most of the 

habitat supporting these populations, 

they all remain threatened by the 

presence of invasive grasses, 

predominantly Arrhenatherum elatius 

(tall oat grass), which limits the overall 

diversity of the site and the opportunity 

for population growth (Severns 2004). 

Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii 

occupying KL–11E is relatively sparsely 

distributed across the entire subunit, 

making it difficult to identify separate L. 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii patches. This 

subunit is severely threatened by the 

presence of exotic species, primarily 

Rubus discolor. Although Unit KL–11 

does not provide the highest quality 

habitat, it manages to support some of 

the largest remaining populations of L. 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii in this portion 

of its range. The habitat included within 

Unit KL–11 provides the features 

essential for the continued persistence 

of this metapopulation and provides the 

foundation of the Recovery Reserve 

necessary in this portion of the species’

range. 

Unit 12 of Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii (Units KL–12A, 12B, 12C, 12D, 

and 12E): 

Unit KL–12 encompasses 

approximately 141 ac (57 ha) of prairie 

habitat that is distributed across Federal 

and private lands in Lane County. This 

unit is in west Eugene and is located 

66516 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 211 / Wednesday, November 2, 2005 / Proposed Rules 

north of Bailey Hill Road and west of 

Bertelsen Road. This unit primarily 

occurs on lands owned by TNC and the 

BLM, with 4 percent occurring on 

private lands. The area included in KL–

12A, 12B, 12C, 12D, and 12E, 

collectively represent the areas 

containing the habitat that has the 

features essential to the conservation of 

a functioning Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii metapopulation. The Fender’s 

blue butterfly uses the L. sulphureus 

ssp. kincaidii occupying this unit as a 

primary host plant, and 100 percent of 

Unit KL–12 is included in Unit FBB–12. 

KL–12D and 12E are owned by TNC and 

support the highest quality upland 

prairie remaining in this portion of the 

species’ range. Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii is scattered across the prairie 

habitat in KL–12D and 12E and forms 

four distinct lupine patches that are 

separated by an estimated maximum 

distance of 0.3 mi (0.5 km). The habitat 

is actively managed for L. sulphureus 

ssp. kincaidii, and the long-term goal for 

TNC’s lands is to eventually restore all 

available upland habitat and expand the 

population size. These units have the 

habitat containing the features essential 

to the conservation of this 

metapopulation because they: (1) 

Provide the highest quality remaining 

habitat; (2) support one of the largest 

remaining populations of L. sulphureus 

ssp. kincaidii; and (3) provide habitat 

necessary for population growth. 

Unit KL–12C supports a relatively 

small population of Lupinus sulphureus 

ssp. kincaidii occurring on private land, 

just north of West 11th Avenue. Unit 

KL–12B also supports a relatively small 

population of L. sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii occurring on lands owned and 

managed by the BLM that are located 

east of Green Hill Road and north of 

West 11th Avenue. Unit KL–12A 

supports another relatively small 

population of L. sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii occurring on land primarily 

owned and managed by the BLM and is 

located east of Green Hill Road and 

north of West 11th Avenue. Units KL–

12A, 12B, and 12C, collectively provide 

a series of stepping-stone habitat 

patches between the L. sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii populations owned and 

managed by TNC and the those 

populations occupying Unit KL–11. 

Unit 13 of Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii (Unit KL–13): 

Unit KL–13 encompasses 

approximately 16 ac (7 ha) of private 

land in Lane County, and is located 

north of Powell Road and west of 

Coyote Creek. The prairie habitat 

included in this unit supports the 

southernmost population of Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii occurring in 

the Willamette Valley. The patches of L. 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii are scattered 

across the available prairie habitat and 

include some of the densest plant stands 

observed (USFWS 2004a, 2004e). 

Although there are no known 

occurrences of L. sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii within pollinator distance of 

this population, it may be the healthiest 

population of this plant remaining. The 

habitat is threatened by the presence of 

invasive species such as Cytisus 

scoparius (Scotch broom), and the 

landowner manually removes the exotic 

species in order to maintain the 

conditions required for L. sulphureus 

ssp. kincaidii to persist. Unit KL–13 has 

the features that are essential to the 

conservation of the species because: (1) 

It supports possibly the largest 

remaining L. sulphureus ssp. kincaidii 

population, (2) is surrounded by high 

quality prairie that provides opportunity 

for population growth and expansion, 

and (3) is the southernmost population 

remaining in the Willamette Valley. 

Unit 14 of Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii (Units KL–14A and B): 

Unit KL–14A encompasses 

approximately 24 ac (10 ha) of land 

owned and managed by the BLM within 

central Douglas County. This unit is 

located north of the intersection of 

Myrtle Road and Myrtle Creek Road, 

and includes habitat on both sides of the 

roadbanks and road cuts on south-facing 

slopes. This population of Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii uniquely 

occurs on a fringe of habitat between the 

roadside and the young, replanted 

forests, and beyond into a young 

Calocedrus decurrens, Toxicodendron 

diversiloba, and Ceanothus integerrimus 

woodland. The primary threat to this 

population is forest succession that 

could encroach and shade out the 

population. Construction of firebreaks is 

a secondary threat. 

This population has survived 

recurring fires, and a failed attempt to 

reforest with Pseudotsuga menziesii. 

Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii 

occurs in several small patches linked 

by roads and obsolete skid trails. There 

is an extensive amount of suitable 

habitat for the population to expand. 

Additionally, this population is within 

pollinator distance of KL–14B, 

increasing the potential for outcrossing 

pollination and therefore the viability of 

both of these units. 

Unit KL–14B encompasses 

approximately 3 ac (1.2 ha) of 

exclusively private land in central 

Douglas County. This unit is located 

between North Myrtle Creek and Riser 

Creek and is approximately 0.93 mi (1.5 

km) southeast of Unit KL–14A. This 

population occurs under a canopy of 25- 

to 35-year-old Pseudotsuga menziesii, 

Arbutus menziesii, and Calocedrus 

decurrens. Plants in this population 

represent a unique habitat type because 

they exist on a fringe of habit between 

the roadside and the replanted forests, 

have survived recurring fires, and have 

co-existed with logging activities. The 

primary threats to this population are 

forest succession that could encroach 

and shade out the population, and, 

secondarily, construction of firebreaks 

for fire suppression. 

The Douglas County populations of 

Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii occur 

in different habitat conditions than the 

Willamette Valley populations. These 

populations are more shade-tolerant, 

and overall more adaptable to extreme 

habitat conditions. It is essential to 

conserve a species across its range of 

habitat types in order to reduce the 

chance of losing disjunct populations 

that represent adaptation to local 

environmental conditions and unique 

genetic variation (Fahrig and Merriam 

1994). This unit has the features 

essential to the conservation of the 

species because: (1) It supports two of 

the largest remaining populations in 

Douglas County; (2) the populations are 

located within pollinator distance of 

one another, providing the opportunity 

for these populations to function as a 

larger metapopulation; and (3) this is 

one of the most vigorous remaining L. 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii populations in 

the southernmost extent of the species’

range. 

Unit 15 of Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii (Unit KL–15A and 15B): 

Unit KL–15 encompasses 

approximately 10.7 ac (4.4 ha) of 

federally and privately owned lands in 

southern Douglas County. KL–15A 

includes 2.3 ac (0.9 ha) of Federal land; 

KL–15B encompasses 8.4 ac (3.5 ha) of 

private land. These units are located 

west of Stouts Creek, with the Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii patches 

occurring on road banks and road cuts 

in a hilly area. Plants occur within 100 

feet of roads except for one portion that 

extends to about 1,000 feet from the 

road along a slight slope. This area was 

logged prior to 1980, and burned during 

fires in 1972 and 1988. The primary 

threat to this site is forest succession; 

firebreak construction is a secondary 

threat. This one of the largest 

populations of healthy plants in Douglas 

County with evidence of recruitment 

across Douglas County. Plants in this 

population exist on a fringe of habitat 

between the roadside and the replanted 

forests and have survived recurring 

fires. The population occurs in several 

small patches linked by the roads and 

obsolete skid trails. There is an 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 211 / Wednesday, November 2, 2005 / Proposed Rules 66517 

extensive amount of suitable habitat for 

the population to expand. The habitat 

supporting this relatively large 

population of L. sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii contains the features essential 

to the conservation of this species across 

its range, as it: (1) Supports one of three 

populations occurring at this 

southernmost extent of it range; and (2) 

occurs in the unique Douglas County 

habitat conditions. 

Unit 16 of Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii (Unit KL–16A and 16B): 

Unit KL–16 encompasses 

approximately 66 ac (26.7 ha) of 

federally-owned land managed by the 

BLM and is located west of Elk Creek, 

with the edge of an incense cedar 

treeline in partial shade. KL–16A 

encompasses 19.2 ac (7.8 ha) includes 

two lupine patches that occur within 3.4 

mi (5.5 km) of two other Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii populations 

(KL–16B) that are in the same meadow 

system. KL–16B encompasses 46.3 ac 

(18.8 ha). This system is similar to the 

habitat conditions supporting the 

Willamette Valley populations and 

unlike the other L. sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii occurrences in Douglas 

County. The unique meadow is on a 

slight slope with a northwest aspect and 

is the only L. sulphureus ssp. kincaidii 

population that occurs close to a large 

band of serpentine geology. 

The habitat is threatened by cattle 

grazing and shows evidence of 

inbreeding depression, is evidently 

unable to reproduce by seed, and is 

suspected to be a single clone. The 

Roseburg office of BLM has been 

actively managing the population 

patches by: (1) Monitoring the 

population for the past four years; (2) 

establishing fences to prevent cattle 

from encroaching into Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii habitat; and 

(3) scoping methods for reducing fuels 

to enhance habitat. This unit contains 

the habitat that has the features essential 

to the conservation of L. sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii across its range because it 

supports one of the three largest 

remaining populations occurring at the 

southernmost extent of this species’

range. 

Erigeron decumbens var. decumbens 

We present brief descriptions of all 

units, and reasons why they are 

essential for the conservation of the 

Erigeron decumbens var. decumbens, 

below. 

Unit 1 for Erigeron decumbens var. 

decumbens (Units WD–1A and 1B): 

Units WD–1A and 1B encompasses 

approximately 41 ac (17 ha) of Federal 

land occurring in northern Polk County. 

This unit is located adjacent to Highway 

22, approximately 5.6 mi (9 km) 

northeast of the City of Dallas. There are 

two distinct populations (1A and 1B) 

located on the Baskett Slough National 

Wildlife Refuge, approximately 0.9 mi 

(1.5 km) apart. Unit 1B is located on 

Baskett Butte summit and coexists with 

the largest remaining Fender’s blue 

butterfly populations. The prairie 

habitat supporting these Erigeron 

decumbens var. decumbens populations 

is currently being managed for the 

species. Units WD–1A and 1B contain 

the habitat that has the features essential 

to the conservation of the species 

because they support the only 

remaining viable population of E. 

decumbens var. decumbens within Polk 

County, which represents the 

northernmost extent of the species’

range. Although there are other reported 

occurrences in the general vicinity, 

these sites did not meet the minimum 

patch size for draft recovery criteria, 

were highly degraded, or were believed 

to be extirpated sites and, therefore, 

were not proposed as critical habitat. 

Unit 2 for Erigeron decumbens var. 

decumbens (Unit WD–2): 

Unit WD–2 encompasses 

approximately 12 ac (5 ha) of private 

land occurring in southern Marion 

County. This unit occurs south of SE 

Triumph Road and east of SE 

Boedigheimer Road, and supports the 

largest remaining Erigeron decumbens 

var. decumbens population in Marion 

County. Although this unit is privately 

owned, the Bonneville Power 

Administration holds an easement to 

maintain the powerline right-of-way 

that bisects the unit. This E. decumbens 

var. decumbens population is supported 

in a relatively large patch of high quality 

prairie that includes a diverse mix of 

prairie indicator species. Threats to the 

site include the presence of invasive 

species, population isolation including 

risk of inbreeding depression, and 

maintenance activities in the powerline 

right-of-way. Unit WD–2 contains the 

habitat that has the features essential to 

the conservation of the species because 

it supports the only remaining core 

population in Marion County and and it 

supports a large population in high 

quality habitat with the opportunity to 

increase population size and maintain a 

viable population. Although there are 

other reported occurrences in the 

general vicinity, those sites did not meet 

the minimum patch size for draft 

recovery criteria, were highly degraded, 

or were believed to be extirpated sites 

and, therefore, were not proposed as 

critical habitat. 

Unit 3 for Erigeron decumbens var. 

decumbens (Units WD–3A, 3B, and 3C): 

Unit WD–3 encompasses 

approximately 59 ac (24 ha) of private 

land occurring within northern Linn 

County. This site is located north of SE 

Kingston Lyons Drive and on both the 

east and west sides of Huntly Road, and 

is primarily owned by TNC. This 

population of Erigeron decumbens var. 

decumbens occurs in a relatively large 

patch of high quality prairie that 

supports a diverse mix of prairie 

indicator species. The E. decumbens 

var. decumbens populations are 

distributed across the prairie remnant in 

three distinct habitat patches (WD–3A, 

3B, and 3C). Threats to this site include 

the presence of invasive species and 

population isolation including risk of 

inbreeding depression. TNC is managing 

the habitat supporting this population to 

allow for population expansion and 

reduce the distance between E. 

decumbens var. decumbens plant 

patches. Unit WD–3 contains the habitat 

that has the features essential to the 

conservation of the species: (1) Because 

it supports the only remaining viable 

population within all of Linn County; 

(2) supports a large population in high 

quality habitat with the opportunity to 

increase population size and establish a 

viable population; and (3) represents the 

easternmost extent of the species’ range. 

Although there are other reported 

occurrences in the general vicinity, 

those sites did not meet the minimum 

patch size for draft recovery criteria, 

were highly degraded, were roadside 

without potential for population 

expansion, or were believed to be 

extirpated sites and, therefore, were not 

proposed as critical habitat. 

Unit 4 for Erigeron decumbens var. 

decumbens (Units WD–4A and 4B): 

Unit WD–4 encompasses 

approximately 9.3 ac (3.7 ha) of private 

and City of Corvallis (City) land 

occurring in Benton County. This unit is 

located north of SW Reservoir Avenue 

and south of NW Oak Creek Drive. 

Approximately half of the habitat within 

this unit is located on City land and half 

on private land. The habitat supporting 

this population of Erigeron decumbens 

var. decumbens occurs in two distinct 

habitat patches (WD–4A and 4B) 

approximately 0.6 mi (1 km) apart. A 

portion of the E. decumbens var. 

decumbens population occupying this 

unit occurs along a hiking trail located 

on private land with a City access 

easement. Threats to this unit include 

woody encroachment, trail 

maintenance, and the small size and 

isolated nature of the population. There 

are only two other reported occurrences 

in Benton County: One population in 

Unit WD–5 and a second population 

encompassing 300 square ft (28 square 

66518 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 211 / Wednesday, November 2, 2005 / Proposed Rules 

m) within the boundary of the William 

Finley National Wildlife Refuge. 

Although the Erigeron decumbens 

var. decumbens population occupying 

this unit is relatively small, it is one of 

the largest remaining populations in this 

portion of the species’ range and is 

supported by a large habitat patch with 

a moderate diversity of indicator 

species. Additional habitat will likely be 

necessary to support other populations 

in close proximity, to allow these areas 

to collectively function as a larger 

metapopulation, and to meet the 

Recovery Reserve criteria necessary for 

delisting. At this time, we do not have 

enough information to identify how 

much additional habitat may be needed 

or where population expansion is 

feasible. Unit WD–4 contains the habitat 

that has the features essential to the 

conservation of the species because it 

supports one of three remaining 

populations in Benton County and has 

a moderate size population with enough 

available habitat to provide for 

population growth and expansion. This 

unit supports a core population 

fundamental to the continued 

persistence of the species in this portion 

of its current range. 

Unit 5 for Erigeron decumbens var. 

decumbens (Unit WD–5): 

Unit WD–5 consists of approximately 

38.5 ac (15.6 ha) of private land, south 

of Corvallis, in Benton County. This 

unit is located along Muddy Creek, just 

to the west of Cutler Lane. The 

Greenbelt Land Trust is currently 

working with the landowner to place a 

conservation easement on the property, 

and, in cooperation with the Service, 

they plan to restore and enhance native 

habitats within the unit. Unit WD–5 

contains the habitat that has the features 

essential to the conservation of the 

species because it supports the largest 

population of Erigeron decumbens var. 

decumbens in Benton County, includes 

substantial habitat for population 

expansion, and supports the core 

population fundamental to the 

continued persistence of the species in 

this portion of its current range. 

Although additional habitat will likely 

be necessary to support other 

populations that collectively function as 

a larger metapopulation and to meet the 

Recovery Reserve criteria necessary for 

delisting, at this time, we do not have 

sufficient information to identify how 

much additional habitat may be needed 

or where population expansion is 

feasible. 

Summary of Units 6, 7, 8, and 9 for 

Erigeron decumbens var. decumbens 

(Units WD–6, WD–7, WD–8, and WD–

9): 

Units WD–6, WD–7, WD–8, and WD–

9 occur in West Eugene, Oregon, and 

collectively represent the largest, mostconnected, functional network of 

suitable prairie habitat for Erigeron 

decumbens var. decumbens. Units WD–

6, WD–7, WD–8, and WD–9 contain the 

habitat that has the features essential to 

the conservation of this species because 

they each support stable populations 

and, collectively, these units support 

the only large metapopulation of E. 

decumbens var. decumbens across its 

current range; this network of habitat 

will need to remain intact to ensure the 

continued persistence of this species. As 

described in the unit descriptions for 

WD–1 through WD–5 above, there are 

very few extant populations of E. 

decumbens var. decumbens 

documented outside of Eugene. Units 

WD–1 to WD–5 are essential for the 

continued persistence of E. decumbens 

var. decumbens across its current range 

due to their limited distribution. It is 

important to note that in order for core 

populations occupying Units WD–1 to 

WD–5 to persist over the long term, each 

unit should be managed to allow for 

population expansion and additional 

habitat will likely be needed. 

Since Units WD–6, WD–7, WD–8, and 

WD–9 support the only large 

metapopulation of E. decumbens var. 

decumbens across its current range the 

habitat supporting these populations 

provide the highest probablility for 

long-term persistence of the species. 

Any reduction of available habitat will 

create more edge effect, increase habitat 

fragmentation, reduce outcrossing 

pollination potential, and further reduce 

population viability. Units WD–6, WD–

7, WD–8, and WD–9 are threatened to 

varying degrees by the encroachment of 

invasive species and active management 

will be necessary to ensure the longterm persistence of this large 

metapopulation. Additionally, habitat 

enhancement may be necessary to 

expand populations across this 

metapopulation and increase 

connectivity. Our critical habitat units 

were designed to select for the largest, 

highest quality habitat patches with the 

potential for population growth. 

Therefore, the units selected for critical 

habitat in Eugene represent only those 

areas that meet the Recovery Reserve 

criteria necessary for delisting. 

Although there are other reported 

occurrences of Erigeron decumbens var. 

decumbens in the general vicinity, those 

sites did not meet the minimum patch 

size for draft recovery criteria, or were 

highly degraded, and were therefore not 

included in proposed critical habitat. 

Unit 6 for Erigeron decumbens var. 

decumbens (Units WD–6A, 6B, 6C, and 

6D): 

Unit WD–6 encompasses 

approximately 85 ac (35 ha) of primarily 

Federal land with an estimated 11 

percent occurring on private land. This 

unit is located in Eugene, along Ken 

Neilsen Road and West 11th Avenue. 

The federally owned land includes both 

BLM and Corps lands. WD–6A supports 

one of the largest remaining populations 

of Erigeron decumbens var. decumbens, 

occurs on Corps lands, and is located on 

the northwestern edge of this relatively 

large metapopulation. 

Unit WD–6 contains the habitat that 

has the features essential to the 

conservation of this species because it 

supports a stable population and, 

collectively with WD–7 to WD–9, these 

units support the only large 

metapopulation of E. decumbens var. 

decumbens across its current range; this 

network of habitat will need to remain 

intact to ensure the continued 

persistence of this species. 

Unit 7 for Erigeron decumbens var. 

decumbens (Units WD–7A and WD–7B): 

Unit WD–7A consists of 

approximately 22.5 ac (9 ha) of 

primarily Federal land with 2 percent 

occurring on private land. WD–7A is 

located to the west of Green Hill Road 

and to the north of West 11th Avenue, 

and is managed by the Corps. The 

habitat included within this unit 

boundary supports a moderately sized 

Erigeron decumbens var. decumbens 

population with habitat available for 

population expansion. 

Subunit WD–7B encompasses 

approximately 143 ac (58 ha) of 

primarily Federal land with an 

estimated 22 percent occurring on 

private land. This subunit is located 

near the intersection of Green Hill Road 

and West 11th Avenue. Erigeron 

decumbens var. decumbens is patchily 

distributed across the subunit with 

enough supporting habitat to allow for 

population growth. The E. decumbens 

var. decumbens populations supported 

by WD–7A and 7B are less than 0.6 

miles (1 km) from the nearest 

neighboring daisy population, providing 

for pollinator connectivity between 

habitat patches and increasing the 

potential for successful reproduction. 

Unit WD–7 contains the habitat that 

has the features essential to the 

conservation of this species because it 

supports a stable population and, 

collectively with WD–6, WD–8 and 

WD–9, these units support the only 

large metapopulation of E. decumbens 

var. decumbens across its current range; 

this network of habitat will need to 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 211 / Wednesday, November 2, 2005 / Proposed Rules 66519 

remain intact to ensure the continued 

persistence of this species. 

Unit 8 for Erigeron decumbens var. 

decumbens (Units WD–8A, WD–8B, 

WD–8C, WD–8D, and WD–8E): 

Subunits WD–8A and 8B consists of 

approximately 129 ac (55 ha) of Federal 

and private lands in West Eugene, 

Oregon. These subunits are located near 

the intersection of Willow Creek and 

West 18th Avenue. An estimated 45 

percent of this area occurs on private 

land with approximately 55 percent 

occurring on BLM land. The western 

half of subunit WD–8A includes high 

quality remaining wet prairie; the 

eastern portion of the site includes 

much lower quality habitat. WD–8A is 

a relatively large remnant prairie and 

provides excellent opportunity for 

population growth and expansion. WD–

8B is located approximately 0.3 mi (0.5 

km) directly east of WD–8A. This 

habitat patch is located directly north of 

TNC’s land, which is currently being 

managed for Erigeron decumbens var. 

decumbens. The location of these 

subunits, in close proximity to one 

another increases the overall quality and 

viability of this metapopulation. 

Subunit WD–8C encompasses 

approximately 2.5 ac (1 ha) of private 

land located east of Wallis Street within 

the City of Eugene. This site supports a 

relatively small population of Erigeron 

decumbens var. decumbens on good 

quality wet prairie habitat with a 

diverse species composition. The site is 

located within 1.5 mi (2.5 km) of WD–

9B. This subunit provides habitat for 

population growth and expansion. The 

E. decumbens var. decumbens plants 

occurring in this unit, Unit WD–6, and 

Unit WD–7 are all in close proximity to 

one another, thus increasing the 

potential for cross pollination between 

populations and reducing the risk of 

inbreeding depression. The primary 

threat to this habitat is that it is 

surrounded by development, reducing 

pollinator connectivity to the other 

populations. However, since this habitat 

is in close proximity to other 

populations, this E. decumbens var. 

decumbens site has a much higher 

chance of cross pollination than most 

remaining isolated populations. 

Subunits WD–8D and 8E consist of 

approximately 79 ac (30 ha) of prairie 

habitat that is owned by TNC. These 

subunits are located just south of West 

18th Avenue along Willow Creek. These 

subunits include high quality prairie 

and support the second largest Erigeron 

decumbens var. decumbens population 

located in Eugene. These subunits 

provide sufficient habitat to support 

population growth and expansion, and 

are located less than 1.2 mi (2 km) from 

neighboring E. decumbens var. 

decumbens populations. This large, 

connected, high quality habitat provides 

one of the core areas contributing 

towards the long-term conservation of 

Unit WD–8. 

Unit WD–8 contains the habitat that 

has the features essential to the 

conservation of this species because it 

supports a stable population and, 

collectively with WD–6, WD–7, and 

WD–9, these units support the only 

large metapopulation of E. decumbens 

var. decumbens across its current range; 

this network of habitat will need to 

remain intact to ensure the continued 

persistence of this species. 

Unit 9 for Erigeron decumbens var. 

decumbens (Unit WD–9A, WD–9B, WD–

9C, WD–9D, and WD–9E): 

Subunit WD–9A encompasses an 

estimated 90 ac (36 ha) of private land 

and is located approximately 1.2 mi (2 

km) east of the intersection of Pine 

Grove Road and Crow Road. The 

Erigeron decumbens var. decumbens 

population occupying this unit is 

scattered in a few patches across this 

large prairie remnant. The habitat 

included within this unit includes high 

quality prairie with extensive habitat 

available to support population growth 

and expansion. This unit is located 

approximately 1.2 mi (2 km) north of 

the closest known E. decumbens var. 

decumbens population, increasing the 

long-term viability of both populations 

due to increased pollinator accessibility 

between plant patches. 

Subunits WD–9B and 9C consist of 

approximately 1 ac (0.25 ha) of private 

land and are located east of Pine Grove 

Road and south of Crow Road. Although 

this is a relatively small site, it is 

located on a high quality prairie 

remnant that supports a diversity of 

native composition. The Erigeron 

decumbens var. decumbens populations 

occupying these subunits occur in 

patches scattered around a stand of oak 

and Pinus ponderosa (ponderosa pine). 

These subunits are located between 

WD–9A, WD–9D, and WD–9E, and 

increase the potential for outcrossing 

pollination of all Unit WD–9 

populations. 

Subunits WD–9D and WD–9E 

encompass approximately 2 ac (0.75 ha) 

of private land and are located north of 

Spencer Creek Road and east of Pine 

Grove Road. These subunits include 

high quality wet prairie with a highly 

diverse species composition and 

support hundreds of Erigeron 

decumbens var. decumbens plants. This 

population occurs at the southernmost 

extent of the species’ range, with Unit 

WD–9C located approximately 1.9 miles 

(3 km) to the north. 

Unit WD–9 contains the habitat that 

has the features essential to the 

conservation of this species because it 

supports a stable population and, 

collectively with WD–7 to WD–9, these 

units support the only large 

metapopulation of E. decumbens var. 

decumbens across its current range; this 

network of habitat will need to remain 

intact to ensure the continued 

persistence of this species. 

Effects of Critical Habitat Designation 

Section 7 Consultation 

If a species is listed or critical habitat 

is designated, section 7(a)(2) requires 

Federal agencies to ensure that activities 

they authorize, fund, or carry out are not 

likely to jeopardize the continued 

existence of such a 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. Through this consultation, the 

action agency ensures that their actions 

do not destroy or adversely modify 

critical habitat. 

When we issue a biological opinion 

concluding that a project is likely to 

result in the destruction or adverse 

modification of critical habitat, we also 

provide reasonable and prudent 

alternatives to the project, if any are 

identifiable. ‘‘Reasonable and prudent 

alternatives’’ are defined at 50 CFR 

402.02 as alternative actions identified 

during consultation that can be 

implemented in a manner consistent 

with the intended purpose of the action, 

that are consistent with the scope of the 

Federal agency’s legal authority and 

jurisdiction, that are economically and 

technologically feasible, and that the 

Director believes would avoid 

destruction or adverse modification of 

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 critical 

habitat is subsequently designated and 

the Federal agency has retained 

discretionary involvement or control 

over the action or such discretionary 

involvement or control is authorized by 

law. Consequently, some Federal 

agencies may request reinitiation of 

consultation or conference with us on 

actions for which formal consultation 

has been completed, if those actions 

66520 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 211 / Wednesday, November 2, 2005 / Proposed Rules 

may affect designated critical habitat or 

adversely modify or destroy proposed 

critical habitat. 

Federal activities that may affect the 

Fender’s blue butterfly, Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii, and Erigeron 

decumbens var. decumbens or their 

critical habitat will require section 7 

consultation. Activities on private or 

State lands requiring a permit from a 

Federal agency, such as a permit from 

the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers under 

section 404 of the Clean Water Act, a 

section 10(a)(1)(B) permit from the 

Service, or some other Federal action, 

including funding (e.g., Federal 

Highway Administration or Federal 

Emergency Management Agency 

funding), will also continue to be 

subject to the section 7 consultation 

process. Federal actions not affecting 

listed species or critical habitat and 

actions on non Federal and private 

lands that are not federally funded, 

authorized, or permitted do not require 

section 7 consultation. 

Each of the areas proposed for 

designation in this rule have been 

determined to contain sufficient PCEs to 

provide for one or more of the life 

history functions of the Fender’s blue 

butterfly, Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii, or Erigeron decumbens var. 

decumbens. In some cases, the PCEs 

exist as a result of ongoing federal 

actions. As a result, ongoing federal 

actions at the time of designation will be 

included in the baseline in any 

consultation conducted subsequent to 

this designation. 

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 that may be affected by such 

designation. Activities that may destroy 

or adversely modify critical habitat also 

may jeopardize the continued existence 

of the Fender’s blue butterfly, Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii, or Erigeron 

decumbens var. decumbens. Federal 

activities that, when carried out, may 

adversely affect critical habitat for the 

Fender’s blue butterfly, L. sulphureus 

ssp. kincaidii, or E. decumbens var. 

decumbens include, but are not limited 

to: 

(1) Actions that would further 

degrade, or destroy, prairie habitat 

supporting populations of Fender’s blue 

butterfly, Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii, or Erigeron decumbens var. 

decumbens. Such activities could 

include, but are not limited to, the 

removal or destruction of prairie habitat 

by grading, leveling, plowing, mowing, 

burning, operation of motorized 

equipment, herbicide spraying, or 

intensive grazing. These activities could 

eliminate or reduce the habitat 

necessary for Fender’s blue butterfly by 

removing the host plant essential for 

reproduction and larval feeding, as well 

as adult nectaring plants. Additionally, 

removal or destruction of habitat further 

isolates populations and increases the 

risk of inbreeding depression. 

Implementation of these activities in 

prairie habitat supporting L. sulphureus 

ssp. kincaidii or E. decumbens var. 

decumbens could directly eliminate 

individuals and eliminate the potential 

for essential population growth and 

expansion in the available ‘‘open 

spaces’’ of native short-grass prairie 

habitat. 

(2) Actions that further isolate 

populations of Fender’s blue butterfly, 

Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii, or 

Erigeron decumbens var. decumbens 

from other extant locations within a unit 

or between subunits. Such activities 

could include, but are not limited to, the 

construction or expansion of roads, 

houses, buildings, or infrastructure that 

limit dispersal of the Fender’s blue 

butterfly between lupine patches, and 

limit the dispersal of plant pollinators 

between L. sulphureus ssp. kincaidii 

and E. decumbens var. decumbens 

populations. These activities reduce the 

opportunity for population growth and 

decrease genetic diversity by limiting 

normal breeding behaviors. 

All critical habitat units are within 

the geographic ranges of these species, 

and all were occupied by these species 

at the time of listing. All units are likely 

to be used by Fender’s blue butterfly, 

Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii, or 

Erigeron decumbens var. decumbens to 

carry out important life history 

functions. We consider all of the units 

included in this proposed designation to 

be essential to the conservation of the 

Fender’s blue butterfly, L. sulphureus 

ssp. kincaidii, or E. decumbens var. 

decumbens. When analyzing whether 

the effects of those actions described 

above constitute adverse modification or 

destruction of critical habitat, the 

Service would determine whether the 

action precludes the ability of any given 

unit to provide the PCEs. In considering 

whether loss of the PCEs contributes to 

adverse modification, the Service will 

consider the purpose for which any 

given unit was determined to be 

essential and designated as critical 

habitat. Since all units are deemed 

essential to conservation of each of 

these species, the loss of any one unit’s 

ability to provide the PCEs, or to 

function as it was intended, would 

likely result in a finding of adverse 

modification of critical habitat. Federal 

agencies already consult with us on 

activities in areas currently occupied by 

the species or if the species may be 

affected by the action to ensure that 

their actions do not jeopardize the 

continued existence of the species. 

The most direct, and potentially 

largest regulatory benefit of critical 

habitat is that federally authorized, 

funded, or carried out activities require 

consultation pursuant to section 7 of the 

Act to ensure that they are not likely to 

destroy or adversely modify critical 

habitat. There are two limitations to this 

regulatory effect. First, it only applies 

where there is a Federal nexus—if there 

is no Federal nexus, designation itself 

does not restrict actions that destroy or 

adversely modify critical habitat. 

Second, it only limits destruction or 

adverse modification. By its nature, the 

prohibition on adverse modification is 

designed to ensure those areas that 

contain the physical and biological 

features essential to the conservation of 

the species or unoccupied areas that are 

essential to the conservation of the 

species are not eroded. Critical habitat 

designation alone, however, does not 

require specific steps toward recovery. 

Once consultation under section 7 of 

the Act is triggered, the process may 

conclude informally when the Service 

concurs in writing that the proposed 

Federal action is not likely to adversely 

affect the listed species or its critical 

habitat. However, if the Service 

determines through informal 

consultation that adverse impacts are 

likely to occur, then formal consultation 

would be initiated. Formal consultation 

concludes with a biological opinion 

issued by the Service on whether the 

proposed Federal action is likely to 

jeopardize the continued existence of a 

listed species or result in destruction or 

adverse modification of critical habitat, 

with separate analyses being made 

under both the jeopardy and the adverse 

modification standards. For critical 

habitat, a biological opinion that 

concludes in a determination of no 

destruction or adverse modification may 

contain discretionary conservation 

recommendations to minimize adverse 

effects to primary constituent elements, 

but it would not contain any mandatory 

reasonable and prudent measures or 

terms and conditions. Mandatory 

reasonable and prudent alternatives to 

the proposed Federal action would only 

be issued when the biological opinion 

results in a jeopardy or adverse 

modification conclusion. 

We also note that for 30 years prior to 

the Ninth Circuit Court’s decision in 

Gifford Pinchot, the Service equated the 

jeopardy standard with the standard for 

destruction or adverse modification of 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 211 / Wednesday, November 2, 2005 / Proposed Rules 66521 

critical habitat. The Court ruled that the 

Service could no longer equate the two 

standards and that adverse modification 

evaluations require consideration of 

impacts on the recovery of species. 

Thus, under the Gifford Pinchot 

decision, critical habitat designations 

may provide greater benefits to the 

recovery of a species. However, we 

believe the conservation achieved 

through implementing management 

plans is typically greater than would be 

achieved through multiple site-by-site, 

project-by-project, section 7 

consultations involving consideration of 

critical habitat. Management plans 

commit resources to implement longterm management and protection to 

particular habitat for at least one and 

possibly other listed or sensitive 

species. Section 7 consultations only 

commit Federal agencies to prevent 

adverse modification to 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 

project. Thus, any management plan 

which considers enhancement or 

recovery as the management standard 

will always provide as much or more 

benefit than a consultation for critical 

habitat designation conducted under the 

standards required by the Ninth Circuit 

in the Gifford Pinchot decision. 

If you have questions regarding 

whether specific activities will 

constitute destruction or adverse 

modification of critical habitat, please 

contact the State Supervisor, Oregon 

Fish and Wildlife Office (see ADDRESSES

section). Requests for copies of the 

regulations on listed wildlife and 

inquiries about prohibitions and permits 

may be addressed to the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service, Endangered Species 

Division, 911 NE 11th Ave., Portland, 

Oregon 97232 (telephone 503/231–

6158). 

Application of Section 3(5)(A) and 

4(a)(3) and Exclusions Under Section 

4(b)(2) of the Act 

Section 3(5)(A) of the Act defines 

critical habitat as the specific areas 

within the geographic area occupied by 

the species at the time of listing on 

which are found those physical and 

biological features (i) essential to the 

conservation of the species and (ii) 

which may require special management 

considerations or protection. Therefore, 

areas within the geographic area 

occupied by the species at the time of 

listing that do not contain the features 

essential for the conservation of the 

species are not, by definition, critical 

habitat. Similarly, areas within the 

geographic area occupied by the species 

at the time of listing that do not require 

special management or protection also 

are not, by definition, critical habitat. To 

determine whether an area requires 

special management, we first determine 

if the essential features located there 

generally require special management to 

address applicable threats. If those 

features do not require special 

management, or if they do in general but 

not for the particular area in question 

because of the existence of an adequate 

management plan or for some other 

reason, then the area does not require 

special management. 

We consider a current plan to provide 

adequate management or protection if it 

meets three criteria: (1) The plan is 

complete and provides a conservation 

benefit to the species (i.e., the plan must 

maintain or provide for an increase in 

the species’ population, or the 

enhancement or restoration of its habitat 

within the area covered by the plan); (2) 

the plan provides assurances that the 

conservation management strategies and 

actions will be implemented (i.e., those 

responsible for implementing the plan 

are capable of accomplishing the 

objectives, and have an implementation 

schedule or adequate funding for 

implementing the management plan); 

and (3) the plan provides assurances 

that the conservation strategies and 

measures will be effective (i.e., it 

identifies biological goals, has 

provisions for reporting progress, and is 

of a duration sufficient to implement the 

plan and achieve the plan’s goals and 

objectives). 

Section 318 of the fiscal year 2004 

National Defense Authorization Act 

(Pub. L. 108–136) amended the 

Endangered Species Act to address the 

relationship of INRMPs to critical 

habitat by adding a new section 

4(a)(3)(B). This provision prohibits the 

Service from designating 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 INRMP 

prepared under section 101 of the Sikes 

Act (16 U.S.C. 670a), if the Secretary of 

the Interior determines in writing that 

such plan provides a benefit to the 

species for which critical habitat is 

proposed for designation. 

Further, section 4(b)(2) of the Act 

states that critical habitat shall be 

designated, and revised, 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. 

An area may be excluded from critical 

habitat if it is determined that the 

benefits of exclusion outweigh the 

benefits of specifying a particular area 

as critical habitat, unless the failure to 

designate such area as critical habitat 

will result in the extinction of the 

species. 

In our critical habitat designations, we 

use both the provisions outlined in 

sections 3(5)(A) and 4(b)(2) of the Act to 

evaluate those specific areas proposed 

for designation as critical habitat. Lands 

that we may find do not meet the 

definition of critical habitat under 

section 3(5)(A) or that we may exclude 

pursuant to section 4(b)(2) may include 

those covered by the following types of 

plans if they provide assurances that the 

conservation measures they outline will 

be implemented and effective: (1) 

Legally operative HCPs that cover the 

species, (2) draft HCPs that cover the 

species and have undergone public 

review and comment (i.e., pending 

HCPs), (3) Tribal conservation plans that 

cover the species, (4) State conservation 

plans that cover the species, and (5) 

National Wildlife Refuge System 

Comprehensive Conservation Plans. In 

addition, after reviewing comments on 

this proposal, the draft economic 

analysis and comments on the draft 

economic analysis (see below), we may 

exclude areas under either of these 

sections of the Act that are not proposed 

for exclusion in these notices. 

Oregon National Guard Camp Adair 

The Oregon Military Department 

(OMD) (i.e., Joint Force Headquarters of 

the Oregon Army and Air National 

Guard) completed an INRMP for Camp 

Adair in September 2001. The INRMP 

contained a management plan for 

Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii with 

specific goals to maintain and create a 

healthy plant population by 

implementing the following 

management measures: Avoidance of 

known plant locations, suppression of 

invasive species, restoration of native 

ecosystems, and monitoring on a 3-year 

schedule. Active management began in 

1999 with posting of off-limits signs 

around the lupine patches. In 2001 and 

2002, restoration activities were 

implemented around lupine patches to 

control woody vegetation and exotic 

species. Specific management activities 

include herbicide applications 

(broadcast and backpack), hand pulling 

and machete cutting. The June 2002 

monitoring report documents a 34 

percent increase in square meters 

occupied by L. sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii, likely due to the active 

management that began in 1999. In an 

electronic correspondence dated June 6, 

2005, Camp Adair’s Environmental 

Program Manager indicated that they 

were proceeding with hiring staff to 

66522 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 211 / Wednesday, November 2, 2005 / Proposed Rules 

complete the scheduled 2005 

monitoring. Lands managed by Camp 

Adair are not included in the proposed 

critical habitat because an INRMP is in 

place that provides a framework for 

managing natural resources for L. 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii and provides 

a benefit to the species. 

Economic Analysis 

An analysis of the economic impacts 

of proposing critical habitat for the 

Fender’s blue butterfly, Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii, and Erigeron 

decumbens var. decumbens is being 

prepared. We will announce the 

availability of the draft economic 

analysis as soon as it is completed, at 

which time we will seek public review 

and comment. At that time, copies of 

the draft economic analysis will be 

available for downloading from the 

Internet at http://www.fws.gov/pacific/ 

oregonfwo/EndSpp/ESA-Actions/ 

CritHabWillametteValley-05.htm, or by 

contacting our Oregon Fish and Wildlife 

Office directly (see ADDRESSES). 

Peer Review 

In accordance with our joint policy 

published in the Federal Register on 

July 1, 1994 (59 FR 34270), we will seek 

the expert opinions of at least three 

appropriate and independent specialists 

regarding this proposed rule. The 

purpose of such review is to ensure that 

our critical habitat designation is based 

on scientifically sound data, 

assumptions, and analyses. We will 

provide copies of this proposed rule to 

peer reviewers immediately following 

publication in the Federal Register. We 

will invite these peer reviewers to 

comment, during the public comment 

period, on the specific assumptions and 

conclusions regarding the proposed 

designation of critical habitat. 

We will consider all comments and 

information received during the 

comment period on this proposed rule 

during preparation of a final 

rulemaking. Accordingly, the final 

decision may differ from this proposal. 

Public Hearings 

The Act provides for one or more 

public hearings on this proposal, if 

requested. Requests for public hearings 

must be made in writing at least 15 days 

prior to the close of the public comment 

period (see DATES). We will schedule 

public hearings on this proposal, if any 

are requested, and announce the dates, 

times, and places of those hearings in 

the Federal Register and local 

newspapers at least 15 days prior to the 

first hearing. 

Clarity of the Rule 

Executive Order 12866 requires each 

agency to write regulations and notices 

that are easy to understand. We invite 

comments on how to make this 

proposed rule easier to understand, 

including answers to questions such as 

the following: (1) Are the requirements 

in the proposed rule clearly stated? (2) 

Does the proposed rule contain 

technical jargon that interferes with the 

clarity? (3) Does the format of the 

proposed rule (grouping and order of 

the sections, use of headings, 

paragraphing, and so forth) aid or 

reduce its clarity? (4) Is the description 

of the notice in the SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION section of the preamble 

helpful in understanding the proposed 

rule? (5) What else could we do to make 

this proposed rule easier to understand? 

Send a copy of any comments on how 

we could make this proposed rule easier 

to understand to: Office of Regulatory 

Affairs, Department of the Interior, 

Room 7229, 1849 C Street, NW., 

Washington, DC 20240. You may e-mail 

your comments to this address:

Required Determinations 

Regulatory Planning and Review 

In accordance with Executive Order 

12866, this document is a significant 

rule in that it may raise novel legal and 

policy issues, but it is not anticipated to 

have an annual effect on the economy 

of $100 million or more or affect the 

economy in a material way. Due to the 

tight timeline for publication in the 

Federal Register, the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) has not 

formally reviewed this rule. We are 

preparing a draft economic analysis of 

this proposed action, which will be 

available for public comment, to 

determine the economic consequences 

of designating the specific areas as 

critical habitat. This economic analysis 

also will be used to determine 

compliance with Executive Order 

12866, Regulatory Flexibility Act, Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act, and Executive Order 

12630. 

Within these areas, the types of 

Federal actions or authorized activities 

that we have identified as potential 

concerns are listed above in the section 

on Section 7 Consultation. The 

availability of the draft economic 

analysis will be announced in the 

Federal Register and in local 

newspapers so that it is available for 

public review and comments. The draft 

economic analysis can be obtained from 

our Internet website at http:// 

www.fws.gov/pacific/oregonfwo/ 

EndSpp/ESA-Actions/ 

CritHabWillametteValley-05.htm or by 

contacting our Oregon Fish and Wildlife 

Office directly (see ADDRESSES). 

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

et seq.) 

Our assessment of economic effect 

will be completed prior to final 

rulemaking based upon review of the 

draft economic analysis prepared 

pursuant to section 4(b)(2) of the Act 

and E.O. 12866. This analysis is for the 

purposes of compliance with the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act and does not 

reflect our position on the type of 

economic analysis required by New 

Mexico Cattle Growers Assn. v. U.S. 

Fish & Wildlife Service 248 F.3d 1277 

(10th Cir. 2001). 

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act 

(5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., as amended by the 

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act (SBREFA) of 1996), 

whenever an agency is required to 

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 effects 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 the agency certifies the rule will 

not have a significant economic impact 

on a substantial number of small 

entities. The SBREFA amended the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) to 

require Federal agencies to provide a 

statement of the factual basis for 

certifying that the rule will not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. 

At this time, the Service lacks the 

economic information necessary to 

provide an adequate factual basis for the 

required RFA finding. Therefore, the 

RFA finding is deferred until 

completion of the draft economic 

analysis prepared pursuant to section 

4(b)(2) of the Act and E.O. 12866. This 

draft economic analysis will provide the 

required factual basis for the RFA 

finding. Upon completion of the draft 

economic analysis, the Service will 

publish a notice of availability of the 

draft economic analysis of the proposed 

designation and reopen the public 

comment period for the proposed 

designation for an additional 60 days. 

The Service will include with the notice 

of availability, as appropriate, an initial 

regulatory flexibility analysis or a 

certification that the rule will not have 

a significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

accompanied by the factual basis for 

that determination. The Service has 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 211 / Wednesday, November 2, 2005 / Proposed Rules 66523 

concluded that deferring the RFA 

finding until completion of the draft 

economic analysis is necessary to meet 

the purposes and requirements of the 

RFA. Deferring the RFA finding in this 

manner will ensure that the Service 

makes a sufficiently informed 

determination based on adequate 

economic information and provides the 

necessary opportunity for public 

comment. 

Executive Order 13211 

On May 18, 2001, the President issued 

an Executive Order (E.O. 13211) on 

regulations that significantly affect 

energy supply, distribution, and use. 

Executive Order 13211 requires agencies 

to prepare Statements of Energy Effects 

when undertaking certain actions. This 

proposed rule to designate critical 

habitat for the Fender’s blue butterfly, 

Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii, and 

Erigeron decumbens var. decumbens is 

not a significant regulatory action under 

Executive Order 12866, and it 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), 

the Service makes 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, 

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; AFDC 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 actions they fund, 

carry out, or permit do not destroy or 

adversely modify critical habitat under 

section 7. While non-Federal 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, 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 on to 

State governments. 

Due to current public knowledge of 

the species’ protection, the prohibition 

against take of the species both within 

and outside of the designated areas, and 

the fact that critical habitat provides no 

incremental restrictions, we do not 

anticipate that this rule will 

significantly or uniquely affect small 

governments. As such, a Small 

Government Agency Plan is not 

required. We will, however, further 

evaluate this issue as we conduct our 

economic analysis and revise this 

assessment if appropriate. 

Federalism 

In accordance with Executive Order 

13132, the rule does not have significant 

Federalism effects. A Federalism 

assessment is not required. In keeping 

with DOI and Department of Commerce 

policy, we requested information from, 

and coordinated development of, this 

proposed critical habitat designation 

with appropriate State resource agencies 

in Oregon and Washington. The 

designation of critical habitat in areas 

currently occupied by the Fender’s blue 

butterfly, Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii, and Erigeron decumbens var. 

decumbens imposes no additional 

restrictions to those currently in place 

and, therefore, has little incremental 

impact on State and local governments 

and their activities. The designation 

may have some benefit to these 

governments in that the lands 

containing the features essential to the 

conservation of the species are more 

clearly defined, and the primary 

constituent elements of the habitat 

necessary to the survival of the species 

are specifically identified. While 

making this definition and 

identification does not alter where and 

what federally sponsored activities may 

occur, it may assist these local 

governments in long-range planning 

(rather than waiting for case-by-case 

section 7 consultations to occur). 

Civil Justice Reform 

In accordance with Executive Order 

12988, the Office of the Solicitor has 

determined that the rule does not 

unduly burden the judicial system and 

meets the requirements of sections 3(a) 

and 3(b)(2) of the Order. We have 

proposed designating critical habitat in 

accordance with the provisions of the 

Endangered Species Act. This proposed 

rule uses standard property descriptions 

and identifies the primary constituent 

elements within the designated areas to 

assist the public in understanding the 

habitat needs of the Fender’s blue 

butterfly, Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii, and Erigeron decumbens var. 

decumbens. 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) 

This rule does not contain any new 

collections of information that require 

approval by OMB under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act. 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 

It is our position that, outside the 

Tenth Circuit, we do not need to 

prepare environmental analyses as 

defined by the NEPA in connection with 

designating critical habitat under the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended. We published a notice 

outlining our reasons for this 

determination in the Federal Register 

on October 25, 1983 (48 FR 49244). This 

66524 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 211 / Wednesday, November 2, 2005 / Proposed Rules 

assertion was upheld in the courts of the 

Ninth Circuit (Douglas County v. 

Babbitt, 48 F.3d 1495 (9th Cir. Ore. 

1995), cert. denied 116 S. Ct. 698 (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), Executive 

Order 13175, and the Department of 

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. We 

have determined that there are no tribal 

lands essential for the conservation of 

the Fender’s blue butterfly, Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii, and Erigeron 

decumbens var. decumbens. Therefore, 

critical habitat for the Fender’s blue 

butterfly, Lupinus sulphureus ssp. 

kincaidii, and Erigeron decumbens var. 

decumbens has not been designated on 

Tribal lands.

5. In § 17.96(a), add entries for 

Erigeron decumbens var. decumbens 

(Willamette daisy) and Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii (Kincaid’s 

lupine) in alphabetical order by family 

under Asteraceae and Fabaceae, 

respectively, to read as follows: 

§ 17.96 Critical habitat—plants. 

(a) Flowering plants. 

* * * * * 

Family Asteraceae: Erigeron decumbens 

var. decumbens (Willamette Daisy) 

(1) Critical habitat units are depicted 

for Benton, Lane, Linn, Marion, Polk 

Counties, Oregon, on the maps below. 

(2) The primary constituent elements 

of critical habitat for Erigeron 

decumbens var. decumbens are the 

habitat components that provide early 

seral upland prairie, oak savanna habitat 

with a mosaic of low growing grasses, 

forbs, and spaces to establish seedlings 

or new vegetative growth, with an 

absence of dense canopy vegetation 

providing sunlight for individual and 

population growth and reproduction 

and with undisturbed subsoils and 

proper moisture and protection from 

competitive invasive species. 

(3) Critical habitat does not include 

humanmade structures existing on the 

effective date of this rule and not 

containing one or more of the primary 

constituent elements, such as buildings, 

aqueducts, airports, and roads, and the 

land on which such structures are 

located. 

(4) Critical habitat units are described 

below. Data layers defining map units 

were created using USGS 2000 Digital 

Ortho Quads 24,000 in projection 

Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) 

zone 10, North American Datum (NAD)

Family Fabaceae: Lupinus sulphureus 

ssp. kincaidii (Kincaid’s lupine). 

(1) Critical habitat units are depicted 

for Benton, Douglas, Lane, Polk, and 

Yamhill Counties, Oregon, and Lewis 

County, Washington on the maps below. 

(2) The primary constituent elements 

of critical habitat for the Lupinus 

sulphureus ssp. kincaidii are the habitat 

components that provide: 

(i) Early seral upland prairie, oak 

savanna habitat with a mosaic of low 

growing grasses, forbs, and spaces to 

establish seedlings or new vegetative 

growth, with an absence of dense 

canopy vegetation providing sunlight 

for individual and population growth 

and reproduction and with undisturbed 

subsoils and proper moisture and 

protection from competitive invasive 

species. 

(ii) The presence of insect outcrossing 

pollinators, such as Bombus mixtus and 

B. californicus, with unrestricted 

movement between existing lupine 

patches, critical for successful lupine 

reproduction. 

(3) Critical habitat does not include 

humanmade structures existing on the 

effective date of this rule and not 

containing one or more of the primary 

constituent elements, such as buildings, 

aqueducts, airports, and roads, and the 

land on which such structures are 

located. 

(4) Critical habitat units are described 

below. Data layers defining map units 

were created using USGS 2000 Digital 

Ortho Quads 24,000 in projection 

Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) 

zone 10, North American Datum (NAD) 

27.
