## Abstract

We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), designate critical habitat for seven endangered invertebrate species found in Bexar County, Texas, pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). The critical habitat designation totals approximately 431 hectares (1,063 acres) in 22 units. Section 7 of the Act requires Federal agencies to ensure, in consultation with the Service, that actions they authorize, fund, or carry out are not likely to result in the destruction or adverse modification of critical habitat. Section 4 of the Act requires us to consider economic and other impacts when specifying any particular area as critical habitat. We solicited data and comments from the public on all aspects of the proposed rule, including data on economic and other impacts of the designation. As a result of comments and information received, we are not designating critical habitat as originally proposed for two species that occur entirely on State-owned lands that are subject to a conservation plan.
