Endangered and Threatened Wildlife 

and Plants; Endangered Species 

Status for Black-Capped Petrel 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service (Service), determine 

endangered species status under the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973 (Act), 

as amended, for the black-capped petrel 

(Pterodroma hasitata), a pelagic seabird 

species that nests on the island of 

Hispaniola and spends the rest of its life 

at sea. The species forages in high 

concentration off the coast of North 

Carolina; however, the marine range 

extends across much of the western 

Atlantic (Nova Scotia to Venezuela) and 

into the Caribbean Sea and northern 

Gulf of Mexico. This rule extends the 

protections of the Act to the blackcapped petrel. 

DATES: This rule is effective January 29, 

2024. 

ADDRESSES: This final rule is available 

on the internet at https://

www.regulations.gov. Comments and 

materials we received are available for 

public inspection at https://

www.regulations.gov at Docket No. 

FWS–R4–ES–2018–0043.

preparing this rule, such as the species 

status assessment report, are available at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Executive Summary 

Why we need to publish a rule. Under 

the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), a 

species warrants listing if it meets the 

definition of an endangered species (in 

danger of extinction throughout all or a 

significant portion of its range) or a 

threatened species (likely to become 

endangered within the foreseeable 

future throughout all or a significant 

portion of its range). If we determine 

that a species warrants listing, we must 

list the species promptly and designate 

the species’ critical habitat to the 

maximum extent prudent and 

determinable. We have determined that 

the black-capped petrel meets the Act’s 

definition of an endangered species; 

therefore, we are listing it as such. 

Listing a species as an endangered or 

threatened species can be completed 

only by issuing a rule through the 

Administrative Procedure Act 

rulemaking process (5 U.S.C. 551 et 

seq.). 

What this document does. This rule 

lists the black-capped petrel 

(Pterodroma hasitata) as an endangered 

species under the Act.
