SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

November 27, 2020, we announced the 

initiation of a 5-year review of four 

subspecies of the ringed seal under the 

ESA (85 FR 76017). As a part of that 

notice, we solicited information relevant 

to the review and announced a 60-day 

information request period to end on 

January 26, 2021. NMFS received two 

requests to extend the information 

request period to March 26, 2021, in 

order to provide additional time to 

gather relevant information and prepare 

submissions in a thorough manner. We 

are therefore extending the close of the 

information request period to March 26, 

2021, as requested, to provide 

additional time for public input.
