Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; 12-Month Findings on Resubmitted Petitions To List the Southern Idaho Ground Squirrel, Sand Dune Lizard, and Tahoe Yellow Cress

Zusammenfassung

We, the Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce our 12- month findings on resubmitted petitions to list the southern Idaho ground squirrel (Spermophilus brunneus endemicus), the sand dune lizard (Sceloporus arenicolus), and the Tahoe yellow cress (Rorippa subumbellata) pursuant to the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended. We find that proposed rules to list these species continue to be warranted but precluded by other higher priority listing actions. We will continue to consider each of these species as a candidate for listing. We request additional status information that may be available for any of these three candidate species. This information will help us in monitoring changes in the status of these candidate species and conserving them. Also, we will consider this information in preparing subsequent reviews to determine whether listing remains warranted, and in the preparation of listing documents in the event that a proposal for listing for one or more of these species is no longer precluded.
