Dear Interested Party,
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is extending the public comment period on its proposal to provide
Endangered Species Act (ESA) protections for four geographically and genetically distinct population
segments (DPS) of the foothill yellow-legged frog by 30 days.
The Service initially allotted 60 days for public comment on this proposal, however, due to the complexity
of the science used to determine the condition of each DPS, the Service is extending the public comment
period by 30 days. Comments will be accepted through March 30, 2022.
The Service is committed to using the public comment process to solicit sound science, new data and
general perspectives on proposed species listings. The public can submit comments on the proposed
listing and read supporting information at www.regulations.gov by searching Docket Number FWS–R8–
ES–2021–0108. Comments should be submitted by March 30, 2022.
More information can be found in the Federal Register notice and the news release.
Please let me know if you have any questions,
Meghan
