Interior Department, Fish and Wildlife Service
We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce the reopening of the public comment period on our October 5, 2011, proposal to remove the gray wolf (Canis lupus) in Wyoming from the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife. This proposal relied heavily on Wyoming's wolf management plan and noted that conforming changes to State law and regulation would be required to allow Wyoming's plan to be implemented as written. Wyoming recently completed four documents that clarify Wyoming's approach to wolf management should we delist the gray wolf in Wyoming, including revised State statutes, revised gray wolf management regulations (chapter 21), revised gray wolf hunting season regulations (chapter 47), and an Addendum to the Wyoming Gray Wolf Management Plan. We are reopening the comment period for the proposal to allow all interested parties an additional opportunity to comment on the proposed rule in light of these documents. If you submitted comments previously, you do not need to resubmit them because we have already incorporated them into the public record and will fully consider them in preparation of the final rule.
