15866 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 63 / Tuesday, April 3, 2007 / Notices 

summarized their impacts on Atlantic 

sturgeon using a semi-quantitative 

extinction risk analysis (ERA), similar to 

that used by other status review reports. 

Of the stressors evaluated, bycatch 

mortality, water quality, lack of 

adequate state and/or Federal regulatory 

mechanisms, and dredging activities 

were most often identified as the most 

significant threats to the viability of 

Atlantic sturgeon subpopulations. 

Additionally, some subpopulations 

were impacted by unique stressors, such 

as habitat impediments (e.g., Cape Fear 

and Santee-Cooper rivers) and apparent 

ship strikes (e.g., Delaware and James 

rivers). 

The SRT used the ERA to conclude 

that three of the five DPSs (New York 

Bight, Chesapeake Bay, and Carolina) 

were likely (>50 percent chance) to 

become endangered in the foreseeable 

future, which was defined as 20 years. 

The remaining DPSs (Gulf of Maine and 

South Atlantic) were found to have a 

moderate risk (<50 percent chance) of 

becoming endangered in the next 20 

years. The ERA of these two remaining 

DPSs suggested that the DPSs do not 

warrant listing, though the available 

science may not be sufficient to allow a 

full assessment of these DPSs. 

Currently, we are considering the 

information presented in the final status 

review report, the comments from the 

peer reviewers, and the response of the 

SRT to the peer reviewers to determine 

if action under the ESA is warranted. A 

decision regarding our listing 

determination will be published in the 

Federal Register. 

Authority 

The authority for this action is the 

ESA, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et 

seq.).
