{"abstract":"We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), propose to list the Brawleys Fork crayfish (Cambarus williami), a freshwater crayfish species from Tennessee, as a threatened species and designate critical habitat under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). This determination also serves as our 12-month finding on a petition to list the Brawleys Fork crayfish. After a review of the best available scientific and commercial information, we find that listing the species is warranted. Accordingly, we propose to list the Brawleys Fork crayfish as a threatened species with a rule issued under section 4(d) of the Act (\"4(d) rule\"). If we finalize this rule as proposed, it would add this species to the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and extend the Act's protections to the species. We also propose to designate critical habitat for the Brawleys Fork crayfish under the Act. In total, approximately 86.6 river miles (139.4 river kilometers) in Cannon, Rutherford, and Warren Counties, Tennessee, fall within the boundaries of the proposed critical habitat designation. We also announce the availability of a draft economic analysis of the proposed designation of critical habitat for Brawleys Fork crayfish.","action":"Proposed rule.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR","name":"Interior Department","id":253,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/interior-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/253","parent_id":null,"slug":"interior-department"},{"raw_name":"Fish and Wildlife Service","name":"Fish and Wildlife Service","id":197,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/fish-and-wildlife-service","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/197","parent_id":253,"slug":"fish-and-wildlife-service"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2023/08/22/2023-17666.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":17,"title":50}],"citation":"88 FR 57292","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2023-10-23","correction_of":null,"corrections":["https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/C1-2023-17666"],"dates":"We will accept comments received or postmarked on or before October 23, 2023.
