Abstract
We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, published a final rule in the Federal Register on April 27, 2018, to remove the textual descriptions of critical habitat boundaries from those designations for mammals, birds, amphibians, fishes, clams, snails, arachnids, crustaceans, and insects for which the maps have been determined to be sufficient to stand as the official delineation of critical habitat. Where we determined that the maps were not sufficient to stand as the official delineation of critical habitat, we revised the textual descriptions to include the following statement: "The map provided is for informational purposes only." Inadvertently, we removed, rather than revised, a map note in the critical habitat designation for the Waccamaw silverside (Menidia extensa). The map note is necessary to clarify that the map in that entry is for informational purposes only. This document makes the necessary correction to the critical habitat designation for the Waccamaw silverside.
