  • Economic Effects of Critical Habitat Designation for Lyon's Pentachaeta
    ECONOMIC EFFECTS OF CRITICAL HABITAT DESIGNATION FOR LYON’S PENTACHAETA IN TWO CALIFORNIA COUNTIES Prepared For Division of Economics U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service 4401 North Fairfax Drive Arlington, VA 22203 Prepared By CRA International 5335 College Avenue, Suite 26 Oakland, California 94618 June 1, 2006 CRA No. D08739 I BACKGROUND On November 10, 2005, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (Service) proposed critical habitat for the Lyon’s pentachaeta, Pentachaeta lyonii, pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973.1 For this economic analysis, a total of 4,212 proposed acres in Ventura and Los Angeles are examined. This report quantifies the economic effects associated with the proposed designation of critical habitat. It does so by taking into account the cost of conservation-related measures that are likely to be associated with future economic activities that may adversely affect the habitat within the proposed boundaries. This information is intended to assist the Secretary in determining whether the benefits of excluding particular areas from the designation outweigh the biological benefits of including them.2 In addition, this information allows the Service to address the requirements of Executive Orders 12866 and 13211, and the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), as amended by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act (SBREFA).3 This report also complies with direction from the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals that “co-extensive” effects should be included in the economic analysis to inform decision-makers regarding which areas to designate as critical habitat.4 I.1 IDENTIFIED HABITAT The Service identified seven habitat units and fourteen subunits with known occurrences of pentachaeta.
