[Docket No. FWS-R1-ES-2014-0025; 4500030113]
Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; 90-Day Finding on
a Petition To List the Island Marble Butterfly as an Endangered
Species; Correction
AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of petition finding; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, published a 90-day
finding in the Federal Register on August 19, 2014, determining that a
petition to list the island marble butterfly (Euchloe ausonides
insulanus) as an endangered species under the Endangered Species Act of
1973, as amended, presented substantial information indicating listing
may be warranted. We promptly initiated a status review and requested
information on the species from any interested parties. We made an
error in the requested deadline for information submission. With this
document, we correct the error.
DATES: The requested deadline for information submission in the
petition finding published on August 19, 2014 (79 FR 49045), is
corrected in this document. To allow us adequate time to conduct the
status review, we request that we receive information on or before
April 6, 2015. After April 6, 2015, you must submit information by U.S.
mail or hand-delivery to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (see
ADDRESSES, below). Please note that we might not be able to address or
incorporate information that we receive after the above requested date.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We published a 90-day finding in the Federal
Register on August 19, 2014 (79 FR 49045), on a petition to list the
island marble butterfly (Euchloe ausonides insulanus) as an endangered
species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C.
1531 et seq.). When we make such a finding that a petition presents
substantial information indicating that listing a species may be
warranted, we are required to promptly review the status of the species
(status review; also commonly referred to as a ``12-month finding'').
For the status review to be complete and based on the best available
scientific and commercial data, we requested information on the island
marble butterfly from governmental agencies, Native American tribes,
the scientific community, industry, and any other interested parties.
However, in the 90-day finding, we incorrectly stated the requested
deadline for information submission was December 31, 2016. The correct
date by which we request that the public submit information is listed
above in the DATES section of this document. Please see the August 19,
2014 (79 FR 49045), publication for details on the items for which we
request information.
Authority
The authority for this action is the Endangered Species Act of
1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
Dated: January 27, 2015.

Acting Director, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
