Endangered And Threatened Species; Endangered Status for the Cook Inlet Beluga Whale
Document Number: E8-8689
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2008-04-22
Agency: Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
We, NMFS, are extending the date by which a final determination will be made regarding the April 20, 2007, proposed rule to list a Distinct Population Segment (DPS) of beluga whale, Delphinapterus leucas, found in Cook Inlet, Alaska, as endangered under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA). We believe that substantial disagreement exists regarding the population trend, and that allowing an additional 6 months to obtain the 2008 abundance estimate would better inform our final determination as to whether the Cook Inlet beluga whale should be listed as endangered under the ESA.
