United States Fish and Wildlife Service 2008 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Endangered and Threatened Species; Proposed Endangered Status for the Gulf of Maine Distinct Population Segment of Atlantic Salmon
Document Number: E8-20412
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2008-09-03
Agency: Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of the Interior, United States Fish and Wildlife Service, Fish and Wildlife Service
We (NMFS and USFWS) have determined that naturally spawned and conservation hatchery populations of Atlantic salmon within the range of the Gulf of Maine (GOM) distinct population segment (DPS), including those that were already listed in November 2000, constitute a new GOM DPS and hence a ``species'' for listing as endangered or threatened consideration under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). This also constitutes a 12-month finding on a petition to list Atlantic salmon in the Kennebec River as endangered. We will propose to designate critical habitat for the GOM DPS in a subsequent Federal Register notice.
