{"abstract":"We, NMFS, issue a final determination to list five species of foreign sturgeon as endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). We updated the status reviews of the species to include additional information regarding the species and conservation efforts being made to protect them. We considered governmental and public comments on the proposed listing rule. We have made our determination that Acipenser naccarii (Adriatic sturgeon), and A. sturio (European sturgeon) in Western Europe, A. sinensis (Chinese sturgeon) in the Yangtze River basin, and A. mikadoi (Sakhalin sturgeon) and Huso dauricus (Kaluga sturgeon) in the Amur River Basin/Sea of Japan/Sea of Okhotsk region, should be listed as endangered species. We will not designate critical habitat because the geographical areas occupied by these species are entirely outside U.S. jurisdiction, and we have not identified any unoccupied areas in the U.S. that are currently essential to the conservation of any of these species.","action":"Final rule.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE","name":"Commerce Department","id":54,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/commerce-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/54","parent_id":null,"slug":"commerce-department"},{"raw_name":"National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration","name":"National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration","id":361,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/national-oceanic-and-atmospheric-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/361","parent_id":54,"slug":"national-oceanic-and-atmospheric-administration"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2014/06/02/2014-12626.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":224,"title":50}],"citation":"79 FR 31222","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"This final rule is effective July 2, 2014.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket No. 120705210-4423-03"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2014-12626","effective_on":"2014-07-02","end_page":31227,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2014/06/02/2014-12626.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2014/06/02/2014-12626/endangered-and-threatened-wildlife-and-plants-final-rule-to-list-five-species-of-sturgeons-as","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2014-12626?publication_date=2014-06-02","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2014-06-02/2014-12626/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":6,"page_views":{"count":1533,"last_updated":"2026-07-28 10:15:05 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2014-06-02/pdf/2014-12626.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2014-12626.pdf?1401454219","publication_date":"2014-06-02","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2014/06/02/2014-12626.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"0648-XC10":null},"regulation_id_numbers":["0648-XC10"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[],"comments_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=NOAA_FRDOC_0001","supporting_documents_count":0,"docket_id":"NOAA_FRDOC_0001","regulation_id_number":null,"title":"FR Pending Documents","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2014-06-22T06:00:10Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":31222,"subtype":null,"title":"Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Final Rule To List Five Species of Sturgeons as Endangered Under the Endangered Species Act","toc_doc":"Listing Five Species of Sturgeons as Endangered","toc_subject":"Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants:","topics":["Administrative practice and procedure","Endangered and threatened species","Exports","Imports","Reporting and recordkeeping requirements","Transportation"],"type":"Rule","volume":79}
