Endangered and Threatened Species; Proposed Threatened Status for the Gulf of Maine Population of Harbor Porpoise

Riepilogo

National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is reopening the comment period on the proposed rule to list the Gulf of Maine/Bay of Fundy (GOM/BOF) harbor porpoise, (Phocoena phocoena), as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Due to the passage of time since the close of the previous comment period, the availability of new/additional information and the desire to review the best scientific information available during the decision-making process, the comment period is being reopened.
