Abstract
Due to several Federal court orders, the Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) amends the List of Threatened and Endangered Wildlife (50 CFR 17.11) to remove critical habitat designations for the Mexican spotted owl (Strix occidentalis lucida), spikedace (Meda fulgida), and loach minnow (Rhinichthys cobitis), pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). Critical habitat is also removed from 50 CFR 17.95(b) (Mexican spotted owl) and 17.95(e) (loach minnow and spikedace).
