  • 2024-31756 — Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Threatened Species Status With Section 4(d) Rule for Clear Lake Hitch
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 4916
    Reading Time:about 2 hours

    The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed listing the Clear Lake hitch, a type of fish found only in California's Clear Lake watershed, as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act. This decision comes after reviewing scientific data showing threats such as habitat loss, predation, and climate change impacts. The proposal includes protective measures to help conserve the species, such as controlling illegal pesticide use and managing habitats. The agency is accepting public comments on this proposed rule until March 17, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service wants to help a special kind of fish, the Clear Lake hitch, which lives only in a certain part of California. They plan to protect it by making new rules because it's in danger from things like losing its home and changes in the weather.

  • 2024-31754 — Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; 90-Day Finding on Two Petitions for Gray Wolf
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 1419
    Reading Time:about 11 minutes

    The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced a 90-day decision on two petitions related to the gray wolf under the Endangered Species Act. The petitions aimed to change the status of the gray wolf by creating and delisting a distinct Western Great Lakes population and recognizing a West Coast population as threatened. However, after reviewing the petitions, the Service determined they do not provide enough scientific or commercial information to justify these actions. As a result, they will not take further action on the petitions to revise the current gray wolf listings.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service looked into requests to change some rules about gray wolves, like making a new group of them special or less protected, but decided not to do it because there wasn't enough proof to support those changes.
