      <abstract>These data identify, in general, the areas of Final critical habitat for Holocarpha macradenia (Santa Cruz tarplant).</abstract>
      <purpose>Critical habitat constitutes areas considered essential for the conservation of a listed species. These areas provide notice to the public and land managers of the importance of the areas to the conservation of this species. Special protections and/or restrictions are possible in areas where Federal funding, permits, licenses, authorizations, or actions occur or are required.</purpose>

Inherent in any dataset used to develop graphical representations, are limitations of accuracy as determined, among others, the source, scale and resolution of the data. While the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service makes every effort to represent the critical habitat shown with data as completely and accurately as possible (given existing time and resource constraints), the USFWS gives no warranty, expressed or implied, as to the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of these data. In addition, the USFWS shall not be held liable for improper or incorrect use of the data described and/or contained herein. Graphical representations provided by the use of these data do not represent a legal description of the critical habitat boundary. The user is referred to the critical habitat textual description in the appropriate final rule for this species as published in the Federal Register. These data are to be used only in the context of the definition and purpose of critical habitat. This primarily relates to Section 7 consultation under the Endangered Species Act.

        <procdesc>U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologists identified the existing distribution of the species by combining spatial data layers provided by the State of California Natural Heritage Program's Natural Diversity Data Base and data from private individuals. Using the species distribution data, we identified the general areas on which to focus our critical habitat designations by: selecting from the avialable digital soils data the soil types on which the plant is known to occur (Soil Survey Geographic [SSURGO] databases, U.S. Department of Agriculture [USDA] 1998-2001and the California State Soil Geographic [STATSGO] databases [USDA 1994] ); the vegetation types in which the plant is known to occur (Univ. of California GAP data); and discussions with local species experts. Preliminary boundaries were superimposed on orthorectified, digital aerial photography (AirPhoto USA, April, 2000). The use of aerial imagery allowed us to identify and exclude landmarks such as roads, cities, rivers, and urban areas. The final boundary of critical habitat was created my manually editing proposed boundaries based upon field checks of areas included in the proposed rule, and further discussion with local botanical experts.</procdesc>
