ETWP; Proposed Threatened Status for the Guajo'n

The Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) proposes to determine the guajon (Eleutherodactylus cooki) to be a threatened species pursuant to the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended. The guajon is endemic to Puerto Rico and is restricted to the Pandura mountain range in the southeastern part of the island. It is threatened in this area by agricultural, rural, and industrial development and the associated infrastructure. This proposal, if made final, will implement the Federal protection and recovery provisions afforded by the Act for E. cooki. DATES: Comments from all interested parties must be received by December 1, 1995. Public hearing requests must be received by November 16, 1995.
