Abstract

We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, determine threatened species status under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended, for the Suwannee alligator snapping turtle, a large, freshwater turtle species from the Suwannee River basin in Florida and Georgia. This rule adds the species to the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife. We also finalize a rule issued under the authority of section 4(d) of the Act that provides measures that are necessary and advisable to provide for the conservation of this species. We have determined that designating critical habitat for the Suwannee alligator snapping turtle is not prudent.
