73 Fed. Reg. 54125 / 73 FR 54125-54132 (Thursday, September 18, 2008)(DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR; Fish and Wildlife Service; 50 CFR Part 17; WS-R4-ES-2008-0082; 92210750083-B2 RIN 1018-AU85; Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Proposed Endangered Status for Reticulated Flatwoods Salamander; Proposed Designation of Critical Habitat for Frosted Flatwoods Salamander and Reticulated Flatwoods Salamander)

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), are providing supplemental information on the proposal to split the listing under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act), of the currently threatened flatwoods salamander (Ambystoma cingulatum) into two distinct species: frosted flatwoods salamander (Ambystoma cingulatum) and reticulated flatwoods salamander (Ambystoma bishopi) due to a change in taxonomy.

KEITHINKING: Information in this Federal Register notice primarily relates to the Frosted Flatwoods Salamander; for more information, see prior ESA blawg (Aug. 13, 2008) on the salamanders.
