NOAA DID announce the final critical habitat rule today.  The notices,

background information, maps, etc., is at following website:

 

http://www.nwr.noaa.gov/1salmon/salmesa/crithab/CHsite.htm

 

As expected, it's similar to the proposal in unoccupied habitat and

terrestrial habitat is left unprotected, while economics, national

security (military lands) and tribal lands are excluded - to the tune of

about 2000 miles.  The awful other exclusions are not in this rule with

the exception of 3 HCPs.  But they make it very clear they are still

considering those exclusions.
