[Vision2020] The Fish and Wildlife Services finding on the Giant Palouse earthworm

[Chris Storhok]

Hi All,

Here is the Fish and Wildlife's 90 day petition finding on the Giant
Palouse Earthworm published this morning:

 

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
 
Fish and Wildlife Service
 
50 CFR Part 17
 
 
Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; 90-Day Finding on 
a Petition To List the Giant Palouse Earthworm as Threatened or 
Endangered
 
AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.
 
ACTION: Notice of 90-day petition finding.
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce a 
90-day finding on a petition to list the giant Palouse earthworm 
(Driloleirus americanus) as threatened or endangered under the 
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. We find that the petition 
does not provide substantial scientific or commercial information to 
indicate that listing the giant Palouse earthworm may be warranted. 
Therefore, we will not be initiating a status review in response to 
this petition. However, we encourage the public to submit to us any new 
information that becomes available concerning this species.
