What the agency says

We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce a 6-month extension of the final determinations of whether to list the toothless blindcat (Trogloglanis pattersoni) and the widemouth blindcat (Satan eurystomus) as endangered species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). We are taking this action based on substantial disagreement regarding the sufficiency and accuracy of the available data relevant to the proposed listing rule, making it necessary to solicit additional information. Therefore, we are also reopening the comment period on the proposed rule for an additional 30 days. Comments previously submitted need not be resubmitted, as they are already incorporated into the public record and will be fully considered in our final determinations.
