Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 93 / Tuesday, May 14, 2019 / Proposed Rules
Unless other types of failure modes
could be added to FMVSS No. 124
without expanding the scope of the
standard, the return-to-idle
requirements of an upgraded standard
would not necessarily address the
potential safety risks.
V. Conclusion
Based on its evaluation of the
available information, NHTSA has
concluded a BTO requirement is not
necessary at this time and that there are
substantial challenges associated with
developing objective tests both for the
operation of BTO and for return-to-idle
requirements for ETC systems, and these
obstacles make a rulemaking not
feasible at this time. Accordingly, the
agency withdraws the proposed
amendment of the safety standard for
ACS. NHTSA will continue to monitor
the safety performance of throttle
control systems in motor vehicles and
may consider rulemaking or other
appropriate action in the future if it is
necessary for vehicle safety.
The NPRM contained in docket
number NHTSA–2012–0038, as
published in the Federal Register on
April 16, 2012, at 77 FR 22638, is
withdrawn.
Issued in Washington, DC, under authority
delegated in 49 CFR 1.95 and 501.5.

Deputy Administrator.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Under the authority of the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (Act; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.),
the List of Endangered and Threatened
Wildlife (List) in title 50 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (50 CFR 17.11(h))
currently includes the gray wolf (Canis
lupus). On March 15, 2019, the Service
proposed to remove gray wolves in the
lower 48 United States and Mexico from
the List and opened a 60-day public
comment period on the proposed action
(84 FR 9648). The Service now extends
the comment period as specified above
in DATES.
Public Comments
We will accept comments and
information during this extended
comment period on our proposal to
remove the gray wolf (Canis lupus) from
the List. We will consider information
and recommendations from all
interested parties. We intend that any
final action resulting from this proposal
will be based on the best scientific and
commercial data available and will be as
accurate and as effective as possible.
Our final determination will take into
consideration all comments and any
additional information we receive
during the comment period. Therefore,
the final decision may differ from the
March 15, 2019, proposed rule, based on
our review of all information received
during this rulemaking.
If you already submitted comments or
information on the March 15, 2019,
proposed rule, please do not resubmit
them. Any such comments are
incorporated as part of the public record
of this rulemaking proceeding, and we
will fully consider them in the
preparation of our final determination.
Our March 15, 2019, proposal
replaces our June 13, 2013, proposal to
remove gray wolves in the lower 48
United States and Mexico from the List
(78 FR 35663). Therefore, we ask any
persons or entities who submitted
comments on the June 13, 2013,
proposal that are relevant to the status
of wolves currently listed in the
contiguous United States and Mexico as
analyzed in the March 15, 2019,
proposal to resubmit their comments at
this time. Comments must be submitted
during the comment period for the
March 15, 2019, proposed rule to be
considered.

without providing supporting
information, although noted, will not
meet the standard of best available
scientific and commercial data. Section

determinations as to whether any
species is threatened or endangered
must be made ‘‘solely on the basis of the
best scientific and commercial data
