SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 8, 2021, NMFS published a 

revised proposed rule to designate 

critical habitat for the threatened Arctic 

ringed seal under the ESA (86 FR 1452). 

The proposed designation comprises an 

area of marine habitat in the northern 

Bering, Chukchi, and Beaufort seas. An 

area north of the Beaufort Sea shelf is 

proposed for exclusion from the 

proposed designation based on national 

security impacts. The revised proposed 

rule opened a 60-day public comment 

period to end on March 9, 2021. NMFS 

received two requests to extend the 

comment period in order to provide 

additional time to prepare comments in

proposed rule by 30 days to April 8, 

2021.
