{"abstract":"The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) proposes threatened status pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended, for Newcomb's snail (Erinna newcombi). This freshwater snail is restricted to the Hawaiian Island of Kaua'i. The distribution of this snail has greatly decreased from the known historic distribution and extant populations are presently limited to restricted habitats within five perennial streams on State land. The five known populations of this snail and its habitat are currently threatened by predation by a species of non-native predatory snail and two species of non-native marsh flies. These populations are also subject to an increased likelihood of extirpation from naturally occurring events, including natural disasters such as hurricanes and landslides. Comments and materials related to this proposal are solicited.","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/1997/07/21/97-19057.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":17,"title":50}],"citation":"62 FR 38953","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"1997-09-19","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"To ensure consideration in the final rule for this species, comments from all interested parties should be received by September 19, 1997.
