{"abstract":"We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, determine threatened species status for the lesser prairie-chicken (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus), a grassland bird known from southeastern Colorado, western Kansas, eastern New Mexico, western Oklahoma, and the Texas Panhandle, under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). This final rule implements the Federal protections provided by the Act for the lesser prairie-chicken. Critical habitat is prudent but not determinable at this time. Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, we published a final special rule under section 4(d) of the Act for the lesser prairie-chicken.","action":"Final rule.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR","name":"Interior Department","id":253,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/interior-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/253","parent_id":null,"slug":"interior-department"},{"raw_name":"Fish and Wildlife Service","name":"Fish and Wildlife Service","id":197,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/fish-and-wildlife-service","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/197","parent_id":253,"slug":"fish-and-wildlife-service"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2014/04/10/2014-07302.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":17,"title":50}],"citation":"79 FR 19974","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"This rule is effective on May 12, 2014.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket No. FWS-R2-ES-2012-0071","4500030113"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2014-07302","effective_on":"2014-05-12","end_page":20071,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2014/04/10/2014-07302.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2014/04/10/2014-07302/endangered-and-threatened-wildlife-and-plants-determination-of-threatened-status-for-the-lesser","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2014-07302?publication_date=2014-04-10","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2014-04-10/2014-07302/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":98,"page_views":{"count":1497,"last_updated":"2026-09-20 20:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2014-04-10/pdf/2014-07302.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2014-07302.pdf?1397073001","publication_date":"2014-04-10","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2014/04/10/2014-07302.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"1018-AY21":{"issue":"201310","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/1018-AY21/endangered-and-threatened-wildlife-and-plants-listing-determination-for-the-lesser-prairie-chicken","title":"Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Listing Determination for the Lesser Prairie-Chicken","xml_url":"http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=201310&RIN=1018-AY21&operation=OPERATION_EXPORT_XML","priority_category":"Substantive, Nonsignificant"}},"regulation_id_numbers":["1018-AY21"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"Fragmentation_Analysis_v2","document_id":"FWS-R2-ES-2012-0071-0640"},{"title":"Fragmentation_Analysis_v1","document_id":"FWS-R2-ES-2012-0071-0639"},{"title":"Literature Cited for Final Rules","document_id":"FWS-R2-ES-2012-0071-0638"},{"title":"Conservation Plan","document_id":"FWS-R2-ES-2012-0071-0579"},{"title":"Range-wide Conservation Plan for the Lesser Prairie-Chicken","document_id":"FWS-R2-ES-2012-0071-0312"},{"title":"Lesser Prairie-Chicken Interstate Working Group Estimated Range","document_id":"FWS-R2-ES-2012-0071-0004"},{"title":"Literature Cited for 2012 Lesser Prairie-chicken Proposed Rule","document_id":"FWS-R2-ES-2012-0071-0003"}],"regulatory_plan":{"html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/1018-AY21/endangered-and-threatened-wildlife-and-plants-listing-determination-for-the-lesser-prairie-chicken","title":"Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Listing Determination for the Lesser Prairie-Chicken"},"comments_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=FWS-R2-ES-2012-0071","supporting_documents_count":7,"docket_id":"FWS-R2-ES-2012-0071","regulation_id_number":"1018-AY21","title":"Threatened Status for Lesser Prairie-Chicken","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2014-04-30T08:06:45Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":false,"signing_date":null,"start_page":19974,"subtype":null,"title":"Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Determination of Threatened Status for the Lesser Prairie-Chicken","toc_doc":"Status for the Lesser Prairie-Chicken","toc_subject":"Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants:","topics":["Endangered and threatened species","Exports","Imports","Reporting and recordkeeping requirements","Transportation"],"type":"Rule","volume":79}
