Abstract
On May 22, 2001, the Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) adopted special regulations governing take of the threatened Preble's meadow jumping mouse (Zapus hudsonius preblei). On October 1, 2002, the Service amended those regulations to provide exemptions for certain activities related to noxious weed control and ongoing ditch maintenance activities. These regulations were set to expire on May 22, 2004. On May 20, 2004, the Service published a final rule to extend these special regulations permanently. However, in spite of this final rule, the special regulations were removed from the CFR. This removal was done in error. With this final rule, we reinstate the regulatory text at Sec. 17.40(l) as it was set forth in the May 20, 2004, final rule.
