Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Proposed Listing for the Largetooth Sawfish
Document Number: 2010-10874
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2010-05-07
Agency: Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
We, NMFS, have determined that the largetooth sawfish (Pristis perotteti) qualifies as a ``species'' for listing as endangered or threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), and propose listing the species as endangered. This proposed rule also constitutes the 12-month finding on the petition to list the largetooth sawfish throughout its range and designate critical habitat for the species. We are not proposing to designate critical habitat. This proposed rule to list the species as endangered is based on the status review of the species (NMFS, 2010), and the best available scientific and commercial data. We also solicit information that may be relevant to the status and conservation of the species.
