Endangered and Threatened Wildlife 

and Plants; Final Recovery Plan for 

Georgia Pigtoe Mussel, Interrupted 

Rocksnail, and Rough Hornsnail 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: We, the Fish and Wildlife 

Service, announce the availability of the 

final recovery plan for the endangered 

Georgia pigtoe mussel, interrupted 

rocksnail, and rough hornsnail. The 

final recovery plan includes specific 

recovery objectives and criteria the 

interrupted rocksnail and rough 

hornsnail would have to meet in order 

for us to downlist them to threatened 

status under the Endangered Species 

Act of 1973, as amended (Act). Recovery 

criteria for the Georgia pigtoe will be 

developed after we complete critical 

recovery actions and gain a greater 

understanding of the species. 

ADDRESSES: You may obtain a copy of 

the recovery plan by contacting Jeff 

Powell at the Alabama Field Office, by 

U.S. mail at U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service, Alabama Field Office, 1208–B 

Main Street, Daphne, AL 36526, or by 

telephone at (251) 441–5858; or by

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jeff 

Powell (see ADDRESSES above). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Introduction 

We listed the Georgia pigtoe mussel 

(Pleurobema hanleyianum), interrupted 

rocksnail (Leptoxis foremani), and rough 

hornsnail (Pleurocera foremani) as 

endangered species under the Act (16 

U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) on November 2, 

2010 (75 FR 67512). All three species 

are endemic to the Coosa River drainage 

of the Mobile River Basin in Alabama 

and Georgia; the Georgia pigtoe also 

occurs in a Coosa River tributary in 

Tennessee. All three species have 

disappeared from 90 percent or more of 

their historical ranges, primarily due to 

impoundment of riverine habitats. A 

single population of interrupted 

rocksnail is known to survive in the 

Oostanaula River, Georgia. There are 

five localized populations of rough 

hornsnail, one each in Yellowleaf Creek, 

Alabama; lower Walnut Creek, Alabama; 

lower Hatchet and Weogufka Creeks,
