| 2015-14931 | Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Removing Eastern Puma (=Cougar) From the Federal List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife | Proposed Rule | The best available scientific and commercial data indicate that the eastern puma (=cougar) (Puma (=Felis) concolor couguar) is extinct. Therefore, under the authority of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended, we, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), propose to remove this subspecies from the Federal List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife. This proposed action is based on a thorough review of all available information, which indicates that there is no evidence of the existence of either an extant population or individuals of the eastern puma and that, for various reasons, it is highly unlikely that an eastern puma population could remain undetected over the time span since the last confirmed sighting was documented in 1938. | 2015-06-17 | 2015 | 6 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2015/06/17/2015-14931/endangered-and-threatened-wildlife-and-plants-removing-eastern-puma-cougar-from-the-federal-list-of | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2015-06-17/pdf/2015-14931.pdf | Interior Department; Fish and Wildlife Service | 253,197 | The best available scientific and commercial data indicate that the eastern puma (=cougar) (Puma (=Felis) concolor couguar) is extinct.
