February 4, 2014 - The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
published a Federal Register notice that will extend the deadline for our final
decision on whether to list the wolverine under the Endangered Species Act. The
Act allows for such an extension when there is substantial scientific
disagreement regarding the sufficiency or accuracy of the available data
relevant to the decision at issue. During the peer review process on our
proposed rule to list the wolverine as threatened, we received a variety of
opinions from the scientific community concerning the information we used to
develop the proposed rules. In response, we will be extending the deadline for
the final listing decision by 6 months to further evaluate areas of scientific
disagreement and uncertainty as they relate to the wolverine listing decision.”
