designate critical habitat for two plants, Limnanthes floccosa ssp.
grandiflora (large-flowered woolly meadowfoam) and Lomatium cookii

(Act). We are proposing to designate 2,561 hectares (ha) (6,327 acres

Jackson County, Oregon, and 2,875 ha (7,104 ac) as critical habitat for
Lomatium cookii in Jackson and Josephine Counties, Oregon. The total
critical habitat area proposed in this rule, including critical habitat
units that overlap for the two species, is 4,467 ha (11,038 ac).
