SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March
20, 2008, the Service published in the
Federal Register a notice of 90-day
petition finding and initiation of status
review concerning the petition to list as
endangered a population of brook trout
(Salvelinus fontinalis) known as coaster
brook trout throughout its known
historical range in the conterminous
United States (73 FR 14950). In the
DATES section of that document, we
solicited requests for public hearings
and established a date by which we
would receive such requests.
This part of the notice was printed in
error and we will not hold public
hearings for this 90-day finding. Section
4(b)(5) of the Endangered Species Act of
1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et
seq.), states, ‘‘With respect to any
regulation proposed by the Secretary to
implement a determination,
designation, or revision referred to in
subsection (a)(1) or (3) [proposed or
final rule to list a species as endangered
or threatened, or proposed or final rule
to designate any habitat of such species
to be critical habitat], the Secretary shall
* * * promptly hold one public hearing
on the proposed regulation if any person
files a request for such a hearing within
45 days after the date of publication of
general notice.’’ Notices of 90-day
findings on petitions to list species are
not proposed regulations. The Service
does not generally hold public hearings
for nonrulemaking findings, and will
not hold any public hearings regarding
the coaster brook trout 90-day finding.

For a 90-day finding, we request
information from the public that
improves our understanding of the
status of the species. This information
typically includes agency reports and
other collections of empirical data that
is best gathered in the form of written
comments. If, in the future, we publish
a proposed rule for this species (e.g., a
proposed listing), we will allow the
public an opportunity to request a
public hearing at that time.
Information Solicited
We are, however, providing a new
comment period with respect to the 90day finding to afford the public an
additional opportunity to provide us
information for our status review or
submit any remarks that would
otherwise have been presented at a
public hearing. We have also contacted
directly the persons who requested a
hearing to advise them of this additional
opportunity to submit information.
Please note that submissions merely
stating support for or opposition to the
action under consideration without
providing supporting information,
although noted, will not be considered
in making a determination, because
section 4(b)(1)(A) of the Act (16 U.S.C.
1531 et seq.) directs that determinations
as to whether any species is a
threatened or endangered species shall
be made ‘‘solely on the basis of the best
scientific and commercial data
available.’’ At the conclusion of the
status review, we will determine
whether listing is warranted, not
warranted, or warranted but precluded.
You may submit your information
concerning this status review by one of
the methods listed in the ADDRESSES
section. We will not consider
submissions sent by e-mail or fax or to
an address not listed in the ADDRESSES
section.
If you submit information via https://
www.regulations.gov, your entire
submission—including any personal
identifying information—will be posted
on the Web site. If your submission is
made via a hardcopy that includes
personal identifying information, you
may request at the top of your document
that we withhold this personal
identifying information from public
review. However, we cannot guarantee
that we will be able to do so. We will
post all hardcopy submissions on
https://www.regulations.gov.
Information and materials we receive
will be available for public inspection
on https://www.regulations.gov, or by
appointment, during normal business
hours, at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, East Lansing Field Office (see
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT).
