| 06-9908 | Endangered And Threatened Species; Proposed Endangered Status for North Pacific Right Whale | Proposed Rule | We, NMFS, have completed a status review of the northern right whale under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). We initiated this review in response to a petition submitted by the Center for Biological Diversity, dated August 16, 2005, to list the North Pacific right whale as a separate endangered species. Based on the findings from the status review and consideration of the factors affecting this species, we have concluded that right whales in the northern hemisphere exist as two species: the North Pacific right whale (Eubalaena japonica) and the North Atlantic right whale (E. glacialis). We have also determined that each of these species is in danger of extinction throughout its range. To reflect this taxonomic revision, we are designating each separately as an endangered species. This rule proposes to list the North Pacific right whale as an endangered species; a proposed rule to list the North Atlantic right whale isissued separately. We also intend to designate critical habitat for the North Pacific right whale. A proposed rule for designation of critical habitat will follow this action. We are soliciting public comment on this proposed listing determination. | 2006-12-27 | 2006 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2006/12/27/06-9908/endangered-and-threatened-species-proposed-endangered-status-for-north-pacific-right-whale | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2006-12-27/pdf/06-9908.pdf | Commerce Department; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | 54,361 | We, NMFS, have completed a status review of the northern right whale under the Endangered Species Act (ESA).
