SUMMARY:

We, the Fish and Wildlife Service, announced on February 12, 2001, the availability of the draft economic analysis for the proposed designation of critical habitat for the spruce-fir moss spider (Microhexura montivaga). We also provided notice that the public comment period for the proposal is reopened to allow all interested parties to submit written comments on the proposal and the draft economic analysis. However, the proposed rule incorrectly stated that comments would be accepted until April 13, 2001. The close of comment period should be March 14, 2001.

DATES:

We will accept comments on the proposal and the draft economic analysis until March 14, 2001.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On February 12, 2001, we published a proposed rule in the Federal Register announcing the reopening of the public comment period and notice of availability of draft economic analysis for the proposed critical habitat determination for the spruce-fir moss spider. The DATES caption stated that comments should be submitted on or before April 13, 2001. The correct date for accepting comments from all interested parties is on or before March 14, 2001.

Accordingly, make the following correction to FR Doc. 01-2270 published at 66 FR 9806, on February 12, 2001:

On page 9807, in column one, correct the DATES caption to read as follows:
