On
January 8, 2021, NMFS published a
proposed rule to designate critical
habitat for the threatened Beringia DPS
of the bearded seal under the ESA (86
FR 1433; corrected at 86 FR 7242). The
proposed designation comprises an area
of marine habitat in the northern Bering,
Chukchi, and Beaufort seas. The
proposed rule opened a 60-day public
comment period to end on March 9,
2021. NMFS received two requests to
extend the comment period in order to
provide additional time to prepare
comments in a thorough manner. We
considered the requests and concluded
that we can accommodate a 30-day
