Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Canada Lynx; 
Special Rule Record of Compliance

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

SUMMARY: On July 8, 1998, we published a proposed rule to list the 
United States (lower 48 States) population segment of the Canada lynx 
as threatened under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended 
(Act). The listing included a special rule regulation issued under 
section 4(d) of the Act that would allow the export under the 
Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna 
and Flora (CITES) of live captive-bred Canada lynx, and skins derived 
from the captive-bred population of Canada lynx. This notice announces 
the availability of the Record of Compliance with the various 
statutory, Executive Order, and Departmental requirements applicable to 
the special rule regulation and invites comments on the Record of 
Compliance.

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Montana Field Office, 100 N. Park Ave., Suite
320, Helena, Montana 59601. Send your comments on the Record of 
Compliance to this same address.
