The Southern Environmental Law Center submits the attached comments on behalf of a broad coalition of conservation groups working in the Southeast in response to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's revised proposed downlisting and accompanying rule for the red-cockaded woodpecker. While we remain concerned by the decision to downlist, we support the Service's efforts to revise its proposed 4(d) rule. We offer comments here on how the Service should further strengthen this proposed rule to conserve the red-cockaded woodpecker.

Abstract

We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce the reopening of the comment period on our October 8, 2020, proposed rule to reclassify the red-cockaded woodpecker (Dryobates borealis) as a threatened species with a rule issued under section 4(d) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (Act), as amended. This action will allow all interested parties the opportunity to comment on the revised proposed section 4(d) rule language set forth in this document, which addresses concerns raised in the public comments we received on the October 8, 2020, proposed rule. Comments previously submitted on the proposed reclassification of the red-cockaded woodpecker and previously proposed section 4(d) rule need not be resubmitted, as they will be fully considered in preparation of the final determination.
