Endangered and Threatened Wildlife; 

90-Day Finding on a Petition to List 

Speckled Hind as Threatened or 

Endangered Under the Endangered 

Species Act 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Department of Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of 90-day petition 

finding. 

SUMMARY: We (NMFS) announce a 90- 

day finding on a petition to list speckled 

hind (Epinephelus drummondhayi) as 

threatened or endangered under the 

Endangered Species Act (ESA). We find 

that the petition does not present 

substantial scientific information 

indicating that the petitioned action 

may be warranted. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of the petition and 

related materials are available upon 

request from the Assistant Regional 

Administrator, Protected Resources 

Division, Southeast Regional Office, 

NMFS, 263 13th Avenue South, St. 

Petersburg, FL 33701, or online at:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On September 3, 2010, we received a 

petition from the WildEarth Guardians 

to list goliath grouper (Epinephelus 

itajara), Nassau grouper (Epinephelus 

striatus), and speckled hind 

(Epinephelus drummondhayi) as 

threatened or endangered under the 

ESA. Copies of this petition are 

available from us (see ADDRESSES, 

above). Due to the scope of the 

WildEarth Guardians’ petition, as well 

as the breadth and extent of the required 

evaluation and response, we are 

providing species-specific findings on 

this petition. This finding addresses 

WildEarth Guardians’ petition to list 

speckled hind. A negative finding for 

goliath grouper was made on June 1, 

2011 (76 FR 31592), while the Nassau 

grouper finding is currently under 

development. 

ESA Statutory and Regulatory 

Provisions and Evaluation Framework 

Section 4(b)(3)(A) of the ESA of 1973, 

as amended (U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), 

requires, to the maximum extent 

practicable, that within 90 days of 

receipt of a petition to list a species as 

threatened or endangered, the Secretary 

of Commerce make a finding on whether 

that petition presents substantial 

scientific or commercial information 

indicating that the petitioned action 

may be warranted, and to promptly 

publish such finding in the Federal 

Register (16 U.S.C. 1533(b)(3)(A)). When 

we find that substantial scientific or 

commercial information in a petition 

indicates the petitioned action may be 

warranted (a ‘‘positive 90-day finding’’), 

we are required to promptly commence 

a review of the status of the species 

concerned during which we will 

conduct a comprehensive review of the 

best available scientific and commercial 

information. In such cases, we shall 

conclude the review with a finding as to 

whether, in fact, the petitioned action is 

warranted within 12 months of receipt 

of the petition. Because the finding at 

the 12-month stage is based on a more 

thorough review of the available 

information, as compared to the narrow 

scope of review at the 90-day stage, a 

‘‘may be warranted’’ finding does not 

prejudge the outcome of the status 

review. 

Under the ESA, a listing 

determination may address a ‘‘species,’’ 

which is defined to also include 

subspecies and, for any vertebrate 

species, any distinct population 

segment (DPS) that interbreeds when 

mature (16 U.S.C. 1532(16)). A joint 

NMFS and U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service (USFWS) policy clarifies the 

agencies’ interpretation of the phrase 

‘‘distinct population segment’’ for the 

purposes of listing, delisting, and 

reclassifying a species under the ESA 

(‘‘DPS Policy’’; 61 FR 4722; February 7, 

1996). A species, subspecies, or DPS is 

‘‘endangered’’ if it is in danger of 

extinction throughout all or a significant 

portion of its range, and ‘‘threatened’’ if 

it is likely to become endangered within 

the foreseeable future throughout all or 

a significant portion of its range (ESA 

sections 3(6) and 3(20), respectively; 16 

U.S.C. 1532(6) and (20)). Pursuant to the 

ESA and our implementing regulations, 

we determine whether species are 

threatened or endangered because of 

any one or a combination of the 

following five section 4(a)(1) factors: (A) 

The present or threatened destruction, 

modification, or curtailment of habitat 

or range; (B) overutilization for 

commercial, recreational, scientific, or 

educational purposes; (C) disease or 

predation; (D) inadequacy of existing 

regulatory mechanisms; and (E) any 

other natural or manmade factors 

affecting the species’ existence (16 

U.S.C. 1533(a)(1), 50 CFR 424.11(c)). 

ESA-implementing regulations issued 

jointly by NMFS and USFWS (50 CFR 

424.14(b)) define ‘‘substantial 

information’’ in the context of reviewing 

a petition to list, delist, or reclassify a 

species as the amount of information 

that would lead a reasonable person to 

believe that the measure proposed in the 

petition may be warranted. In evaluating 

whether substantial information is 

contained in a petition, the Secretary 

must consider whether the petition: (1) 

Clearly indicates the administrative 

measure recommended and gives the 

scientific and any common name of the 

species involved; (2) contains detailed 

narrative justification for the 

recommended measure, describing, 

based on available information, past and 

present numbers and distribution of the 

species involved and any threats faced 

by the species; (3) provides information 

regarding the status of the species over 

all or a significant portion of its range; 

and (4) is accompanied by the 

appropriate supporting documentation 

in the form of bibliographic references, 

reprints of pertinent publications, 

copies of reports or letters from
