Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; 90-day Finding on a Petition To List the Redband Trout in the Great Basin as Threatened or Endangered

概要

We (the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service) announce a 90-day finding for a petition to list the redband trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss ssp.) in the Great Basin as an endangered or threatened species throughout its range, pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), as amended (Act). We find that the petition presents substantial scientific or commercial information indicating that listing at the level of the Great Basin population of redband trout as a whole or at the level of each of the six sub-populations may be warranted. We are initiating a status review to determine if listing any or all of the subpopulations is warranted. All further reference in this notice to redband trout in the Great Basin will identify this fish as the Great Basin redband trout.
