Endangered and Threatened Wildlife 

and Plants; Notice of 90–Day Finding 

for a Petition to List Georgia Basin 

Populations of China Rockfish and 

Tiger Rockfish as Endangered or 

Threatened 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of 90–day petition 

finding. 

SUMMARY: We (NMFS) received a 

petition to list Georgia Basin 

populations of China rockfish (Sebastes 

nebulosus) and tiger rockfish (S. 

nigrocinctus) as endangered or 

threatened species under the 

Endangered Species Act (ESA). We 

determine that the petition does not 

present substantial evidence to indicate 

that the petitioned action may be 

warranted. 

ADDRESSES: Requests for copies of this 

petition regarding Georgia Basin China 

rockfish and tiger rockfish should be 

submitted to Chief, Protected Resources 

Division, NMFS, 1201 NE Lloyd 

Boulevard, Suite 1100, Portland, OR 

97232. The petition and supporting data 

are available for public inspection, by 

appointment, Monday through Friday, 

at this address. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Garth Griffin, NMFS, Northwest Region, 

(503) 231–2005 or Dwayne Meadows, 

NMFS, Office of Protected Resources, 

(301) 713–1401. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Section 4 of the ESA contains 

provisions allowing interested persons 

to petition the Secretary of the Interior 

or the Secretary of Commerce 

(Secretary) to add a species to or remove 

a species from the List of Endangered 

and Threatened Wildlife and to 

designate critical habitat. On April 27, 

2010, we received a petition from Mr. 

Sam Wright of Olympia, WA, to list 

Georgia Basin populations of China 

rockfish and tiger rockfish. For the 

purpose of this petition finding, we 

consider the Georgia Basin to include 

the inland marine waters of Puget 

Sound, the Strait of Georgia (north to 

the mouth of the Campbell River in 

British Columbia), and the portion of 

the Strait of Juan de Fuca east of the 

Victoria Sill (see our determination to 

list three distinct population segments 

of Puget Sound/Georgia Basin distinct 

population segments of rockfish, 75 FR 

22276 (April 28, 2010)). 

Section 4(b)(3)(A) of the ESA (16 

U.S.C. 1531–1544) requires that we 

determine whether a petition to list, 

delist, or reclassify a species presents 

substantial scientific or commercial 

information to indicate that the 

petitioned action may be warranted. In 

making this determination, we consider 

information submitted with and 

referenced in the petition, and all other 

information available in our files. To the 

maximum extent practicable, this 

finding is to be made within 90 days of 

the receipt of the petition, and the 

finding is to be published promptly in 

the Federal Register. 

In evaluating a petition, the Secretary 

considers whether it (1) describes past 

and present numbers and distribution of 

the species and any threats faced by the 

species (50 CFR 424.14(b)(2)(ii)); (2) 

provides information regarding the 

status of the species over all or a 

significant portion of its range (50 CFR 

424.14(b)(2)(iii)); and (3) is 

accompanied by appropriate supporting 

documentation (50 CFR 

424.14(b)(2)(iv)). 

The ESA defines ‘‘species’’ to include 

subspecies, or a distinct population 

segment of a vertebrate species (16 

U.S.C. 1532(16)). The petitioner 

requested listing of the Georgia Basin 

populations of China rockfish and tiger 

rockfish. We evaluated whether the 

information provided or cited in the 

petition met our standard for 

‘‘substantial information’’ as defined in 

joint ESA implementing regulations 

issued by NMFS and the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service (50 CFR 424.14(b)). We 

also reviewed other information
