| 00-12796 | Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Proposed Rule To List the Mississippi Gopher Frog Distinct Population Segment of Dusky Gopher Frog as Endangered | Proposed Rule | We, the Fish and Wildlife Service, propose to list the Mississippi gopher frog distinct population segment of the dusky gopher frog (Rana capito sevosa) as an endangered species under the authority of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). Historically, the Mississippi gopher frog occurred in at least nine counties or parishes across Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, ranging from east of the Mississippi River in Louisiana to the Mobile River delta in Alabama. Today, it is known from only one site in Harrison County, Mississippi. This last surviving population is threatened by habitat destruction and degradation from a proposed housing development on property within 200 meters (m) (656 feet (ft)) of its only remaining breeding pond; the construction and expansion of two highways in the vicinity of the pond; and a proposed reservoir. These actions pose threats to the terrestrial habitat of adult frogs and their ability to offset mortality rates with reproduction and recruitment. This proposed rule, if made final, would extend the Act's protection to the Mississippi gopher frog distinct population segment. | 2000-05-23 | 2000 | 5 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2000/05/23/00-12796/endangered-and-threatened-wildlife-and-plants-proposed-rule-to-list-the-mississippi-gopher-frog | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2000-05-23/pdf/00-12796.pdf | Interior Department; Fish and Wildlife Service | 253,197 | We, the Fish and Wildlife Service, propose to list the Mississippi gopher frog distinct population segment of the dusky gopher frog (Rana capito sevosa) as an endangered species under the authority of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended... |
