However, I have provided comments on all three proposed rules and on the proposed critical habitat designation for R. sierrae and R. muscosa. Please feel free to contact me if you have questions regarding my review. Sincerely, Roland A. Knapp, Ph.D. Research Biologist Proposed Rules Rana muscosa (in the Sierra Nevada) and Rana sierrae 1.
