90-Day Finding on a Petition to List the Delaware River Atlantic Sturgeon Population as an Endangered Distinct Population Segment

We, NOAA Fisheries, announce our 90-day finding on a petition to list the Delaware River population of Atlantic sturgeon as an endangered distinct population segment (DPS) of Atlantic sturgeon under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and to designate critical habitat for the DPS. We find that the petition does not present substantial scientific or commercial information indicating that the petitioned actions may be warranted. Therefore, we are denying this petition.
