  • 2025-00325 — Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; 12-Month Finding for the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem of the Grizzly Bear in the Lower-48 States
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 3763
    Reading Time:about 12 minutes

    The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service issued a 12-month finding regarding a petition from Wyoming to create and remove a distinct population segment for the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem grizzly bear. After reviewing scientific data, they concluded that the grizzly bears in this area do not qualify as a separate listable population. Consequently, the petition to delist these grizzly bears is not warranted. The agency plans to conduct a more comprehensive evaluation of grizzly bear status in the lower-48 states by January 2026.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service looked at whether grizzly bears in the Yellowstone area are special enough to be on their own list, but decided they aren't different enough yet, so they're not making any changes now. They plan to take another look at the grizzly bears' situation in all of the lower states by 2026.

  • 2021-00426 — Incidental Take Permit Application; Habitat Conservation Plan and Categorical Exclusion for the Threatened Grizzly Bear; Flathead, Glacier, Lincoln, and Toole Counties, Montana
    Type:Notice
    Citation:86 FR 2445
    Reading Time:about 3 minutes

    The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is reviewing an application from BNSF Railway for a permit that would allow incidental harm to the federally threatened grizzly bear during railroad operations in Montana. The application includes a Habitat Conservation Plan proposing methods to reduce risks to grizzly bears and support their recovery, like reducing food sources that attract them near the railway. The Service is seeking public comments on the plan and related documents by February 11, 2021, through various submission methods. They aim to determine if BNSF's proposal will have minimal impact on the grizzly bear and the overall environment.

    Simple Explanation

    The Fish and Wildlife Service is thinking about letting BNSF Railway run their trains even if it might sometimes bother the grizzly bears in Montana, but they also want to make sure there are plans to keep the bears safe. They are asking people to share their thoughts before making a decision.
