SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
In a final rule published in the
Federal Register on May 15, 2008 (73
FR 28212), we, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, listed the polar bear
(Ursus maritimus) as a threatened

Sfmt 4703
species under the Endangered Species
Act of 1973, as amended (ESA) (16
U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). In the July 6, 2015,
Federal Register (80 FR 38458), we
announced the availability of a draft
Polar Bear Conservation Management
Plan, which is designed to meet the
recovery requirements of the ESA as
well as the conservation management
goals of the Marine Mammal Protection
Act (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.). We are
currently soliciting public comment on
this draft plan.
Since we announced the availability
of the draft plan, we have seen
significant public interest and have
received a request from the State of
Alaska for an extension of time to allow
for public input. Providing additional
time for full consideration of the
objectives for conserving the polar bear
is important to our overall management
effort. Therefore, we extend the current
45-day comment period by an
additional 30 days. All comments
received by the date specified in DATES
will be considered prior to approval of
this plan.
For a description of the polar bear,
taxonomy, distribution, status, breeding
biology and habitat, and a summary of
factors affecting the species, please see
the final listing rule (73 FR 28212, May
15, 2008). For information regarding the
draft plan, please see the July 6, 2015,
notice of availability (80 FR 38458).
Authority
We publish this notice under ESA
section 4(f) (16 U.S.C. 1533(f).
