Abstract
We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), designate critical habitat for Deinandra conjugens [= Hemizonia conjugens] (Otay tarplant) pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). Deinandra conjugens was federally listed as threatened (under the name Hemizonia conjugens) throughout its range in southwestern California and northwestern Estado de Baja California, Mexico in 1998. The designation includes approximately 2,560 hectares (ha) (6,330 acres (ac)) in San Diego County, California, as critical habitat for Deinandra conjugens.
