On July 9, 2013, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced a six month extension of the final determination regarding the listing of the lesser prairie-chicken (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus) as a threatened species. The extension was prompted by the Fish and Wildlife Service’s finding that there is substantial disagreement regarding the sufficiency or accuracy of available data relevant to this determination. For this reason, the Fish and Wildlife Service’s comment period on this matter was extended for 30 days until August 8, 2013. Additional information on this action is in the July 9, 2013 issue of the Federal Register.
