Abstract

We, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), propose regulations to amend Part 222 of Title 50 of the Code of Federal Regulations to implement Section 10j of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) regarding experimental populations. Part 222 would be amended to establish definitions and procedures for: (1) The establishment and/or designation of certain populations of species otherwise listed as endangered or threatened as experimental populations; (2) the determination of such populations as “essential” or “nonessential”; and (3) the promulgation of appropriate protective measures for such populations.
