Endangered Marine and Anadromous Species; Final Rule to Remove Technical Revisions to Right Whale Listing Under the U.S. Endangered Species Act
type: GovernmentService
description: NMFS issues a final rule to remove two technical revisions made in an April 2003 final rule to the northern right whale (Eubalaena sp.) listing under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The technical revisions purported to change: the way right whales are listed by splitting the endangered northern right whale into two separate endangered species - North Pacific right whale and North Atlantic right whale; the definition of "right whale" as it applies to the right whale approach regulations; and the section heading for right whale critical habitat. NMFS has determined that issuance of the 2003 final rule did not comply with the requirements of the ESA. This final rule corrects these mistakes by removing these technical revisions to 50 CFR and reinstating the language that existed before April 2003.
