SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On October 7, 2014, we published in 

the Federal Register a proposed rule (79 

FR 60419) to list the West Coast DPS of 

fisher as a threatened species under the 


khammond on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 21 / Thursday, January 31, 2019 / Proposed Rules 645 

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended (Act; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). 

On April 18, 2016, we published a 

document in the Federal Register 

withdrawing the proposed rule to list 

the West Coast DPS of fisher (81 FR 

22710), concluding that the stressors 

acting upon the DPS were not of 

sufficient imminence, intensity, or 

magnitude to indicate that they were 

singly or cumulatively resulting in 

significant impacts at either the 

population or rangewide scales. 

On October 19, 2016, the Center for 

Biological Diversity, Environmental 

Protection Information Center, KlamathSiskiyou Wildlands Center, and Sierra 

Forest Legacy filed a complaint for 

declaratory and injunctive relief, 

alleging that our determination on the 

West Coast DPS of fisher violated the 

Act. By Order Re: Summary Judgment 

issued on September 21, 2018, the 

District Court for the Northern District 

of California vacated the listing 

withdrawal and remanded the Service’s 

final determination for reconsideration. 

The Court’s amended order directs the 

Service to prepare a new determination 

by September 21, 2019. 

Additional information on Federal 

actions concerning the West Coast DPS 

of fisher prior to October 7, 2014, is 

outlined in the proposed listing rule (79 

FR 60419). 

Information Requested 

We will accept written comments and 

information during this reopened 

comment period on our proposed listing 

for the West Coast DPS of fisher that 

was published in the Federal Register 

on October 7, 2014 (79 FR 60419). We 

will consider information and 

recommendations from all interested 

parties. We intend that any final action 

resulting from the proposal be as 

accurate as possible and based on the 

best available scientific and commercial 

data. 

We are particularly interested in new 

information and comments regarding: 

(1) Information related to 

anticoagulant rodenticides and other 

toxicants, including law enforcement 

information and trend data. 

(2) Information regarding population 

trend studies or data for the West Coast 

DPS of fisher, including information 

regarding areas that have been surveyed 

compared to areas that have not been 

surveyed, as well as all positive and 

negative survey results to help us assess 

distribution and population trends. 

(3) Information regarding the threat of 

wildfire, including studies or 

information pertaining to current and 

future trends in wildfire frequency and 

severity, as well as information 

pertaining to the immediate response of 

fishers to post-fire landscapes in the 

West Coast DPS of fisher. 

(4) Information regarding any threats 

related to small population size and 

isolation relevant to the West Coast DPS 

of fisher (e.g., low reproductive 

capacity, inbreeding depression, 

demographic and environmental 

stochasticity). 

(5) Information regarding any effects 

of ongoing and widespread tree 

mortality in the Sierra Nevada range on 

the West Coast DPS of fisher. 

(6) Information regarding any 

conservation efforts designed to benefit 

the West Coast DPS of fisher that have 

been planned or implemented since the 

October 7, 2014, proposed rule. 

As indicated under SUMMARY, above, if 

you previously submitted comments or 

information on the October 7, 2014, 

proposed rule, please do not resubmit 

them. We have incorporated previously 

submitted comments into the public 

record, and we will fully consider them 

in the preparation of our final 

determination. Our final determination 

concerning the proposed listing will 

take into consideration all written 

comments and any additional 

information we receive, including any 

new scientific and commercial 

information available since April 18, 

2016 (81 FR 22710). 

You may submit your comments and 

materials concerning the proposed rule 

by one of the methods listed in 

ADDRESSES. We request that you send 

comments only by the methods 

described in ADDRESSES. 

If you submit information via http:// 

www.regulations.gov, your entire 

submission—including any personal 

identifying information—will be posted 

on the website. If your submission is 

made via a hardcopy that includes 

personal identifying information, you 

may request at the top of your document 

that we withhold this information from 

public review. However, we cannot 

guarantee that we will be able to do so. 

We will post all hardcopy submissions 

on http://www.regulations.gov.
