Abstract

This Part of Title 50 of the Code of Federal Regulations provides rules for revising the Lists of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants and, where appropriate, designating or revising their critical habitats. Criteria are provided for determining species to be endangered or threatened and for designating critical habitats. Procedures for receiving and considering petitions to revise the lists and for conducting periodic reviews of listed species also are established. Any interested person may submit a written petition to the Secretary requesting that one of the designating or listing actions be taken. The Secretary may at any time issue a regulation implementing any such action in regard to any emergency posing a significant risk to the well-being of a species of fish, wildlife, or plant. A final rule promulgated to carry out the purposes of the Act will be published in the Federal Register.
