| 2012-9335 | Endangered and Threatened Species; Proposed Delisting of Eastern DPS of Steller Sea Lions | Proposed Rule | Under the authority of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA), we, NMFS, issue this proposed rule to remove the eastern distinct population segment (DPS) of Steller sea lions from the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife. After receiving two petitions to delist this DPS, we completed a comprehensive review of the status of the eastern DPS of Steller Sea Lions. Based on the information presented in the draft Status Review, the factors for delisting in section 4 (a)(1) of the ESA, the objective recovery criteria in the 2008 Recovery Plan, and the continuing efforts to protect the species, we have determined, subject to further consideration following public comment, that this DPS has recovered and no longer meets the definition of a threatened species under the ESA: it is not in danger of extinction or likely to become endangered throughout all or a significant portion of its range within the foreseeable future. Thus, we find that the delisting of the DPS, as requested by the two petitions, is warranted. This rule also proposes technical changes that would recodify existing regulatory provisions and which are necessary to clarify that existing regulatory protections for the western distinct population segment of Steller sea lions will continue to apply. We seek public comments on this proposed action, the draft Status Review, and the draft Post- Delisting Monitoring Plan. | 2012-04-18 | 2012 | 4 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2012/04/18/2012-9335/endangered-and-threatened-species-proposed-delisting-of-eastern-dps-of-steller-sea-lions | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2012-04-18/pdf/2012-9335.pdf | Commerce Department; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | 54,361 | Under the authority of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA), we, NMFS, issue this proposed rule to remove the eastern distinct population segment (DPS) of Steller sea lions from the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife.
