SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On July 13, 1994, the Service

published a proposed rule (59 FR

35674) to extend endangered status to

the jaguar in the United States portion

of its former range. The jaguar is already

listed as endangered from the Mexican

border southward throughout its entire

range.

By letter dated January 15, 1997, the

State of Arizona requested that the

Service reopen the comment period on

the proposed listing of the jaguar to

solicit public comments on a draft

jaguar conservation strategy. The State

asked the Service to consider a finalized

conservation strategy in its analysis of

threats faced by the species prior to

finalizing the listing decision. The

Service believes that the conservation

strategy constitutes significant new

information that should be considered

in making a final listing determination.
