| 2013-14007 | Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Listing All Chimpanzees as Endangered | Proposed Rule | We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, propose to list all chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) as endangered under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). We are taking this action in response to a petition to list the entire species, whether in the wild or in captivity, as endangered under the Act. This proposal constitutes our 12-month finding on the petition and announces our finding that listing all chimpanzees as endangered is warranted. This document also serves as our 5-year review of the species. If we finalize this rule as proposed, we would eliminate the separate classification of captive and wild chimpanzees under the Act and extend the Act's protections to captive chimpanzees in the United States. In addition, we propose to amend the special rule for primates to remove chimpanzees from the rule. If the listing of all chimpanzees as endangered is finalized, the provisions of the special rule can no longer be applied to captive chimpanzees. We seek comments from the public on this proposed rule. | 2013-06-12 | 2013 | 6 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/06/12/2013-14007/endangered-and-threatened-wildlife-and-plants-listing-all-chimpanzees-as-endangered | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-06-12/pdf/2013-14007.pdf | Interior Department; Fish and Wildlife Service | 253,197 | We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, propose to list all chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) as endangered under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act).
