{"abstract":"We, NMFS, announce a 12-month finding on a petition to list the harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) in the Baltic Sea as an endangered or threatened distinct population segment (DPS) under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. We conducted a DPS analysis based on our joint U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and NMFS DPS Policy. Based on the best available scientific and commercial information, we find that the harbor porpoise population in the Baltic Sea is not a DPS because it does not meet the criterion for significance outlined by our DPS Policy. Thus, we find this population is not warranted for listing.","action":"Notice of 12-month Finding.","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/2015/03/24/2015-06749.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"80 FR 15557","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"This finding was made on March 24, 2015.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket No. 141015853-4853-01"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2015-06749","effective_on":null,"end_page":15563,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2015/03/24/2015-06749.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2015/03/24/2015-06749/endangered-and-threatened-wildlife-and-plants-notice-of-12-month-finding-on-a-petition-to-list-the","images":{"EN24MR15.000":{"large":"https://img.federalregister.gov/EN24MR15.000/EN24MR15.000_large.png","medium":"https://img.federalregister.gov/EN24MR15.000/EN24MR15.000_medium.png","original_size":"https://img.federalregister.gov/EN24MR15.000/EN24MR15.000_original_size.png"},"EN24MR15.001":{"large":"https://img.federalregister.gov/EN24MR15.001/EN24MR15.001_large.png","medium":"https://img.federalregister.gov/EN24MR15.001/EN24MR15.001_medium.png","original_size":"https://img.federalregister.gov/EN24MR15.001/EN24MR15.001_original_size.png"}},"images_metadata":{"EN24MR15.000":{"large":{"identifier":"EN24MR15.000","content_type":"image/png","size":64511,"width":823,"sha":"3353b2c42ea1be8841048518e8a7abe7","url":"https://img.federalregister.gov/EN24MR15.000/EN24MR15.000_large.png","height":555},"medium":{"identifier":"EN24MR15.000","content_type":"image/png","size":27955,"width":511,"sha":"d7f317278751fe180ee4acd2ed41e85d","url":"https://img.federalregister.gov/EN24MR15.000/EN24MR15.000_medium.png","height":345},"original_size":{"identifier":"EN24MR15.000","content_type":"image/png","size":83678,"width":1931,"sha":"384e026c5a5d085ce991d617efc3dcd7","url":"https://img.federalregister.gov/EN24MR15.000/EN24MR15.000_original_size.png","height":1303}},"EN24MR15.001":{"large":{"identifier":"EN24MR15.001","content_type":"image/png","size":87965,"width":821,"sha":"359b2deae2d2ab0c3b37c83254b8eb32","url":"https://img.federalregister.gov/EN24MR15.001/EN24MR15.001_large.png","height":791},"medium":{"identifier":"EN24MR15.001","content_type":"image/png","size":28259,"width":516,"sha":"8c0fe08c970df828486e843d75d485a0","url":"https://img.federalregister.gov/EN24MR15.001/EN24MR15.001_medium.png","height":497},"original_size":{"identifier":"EN24MR15.001","content_type":"image/png","size":188340,"width":1948,"sha":"98ed1d54e15aa788ea2181800021c43c","url":"https://img.federalregister.gov/EN24MR15.001/EN24MR15.001_original_size.png","height":1876}}},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2015-06749?publication_date=2015-03-24","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2015-03-24/2015-06749/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":7,"page_views":{"count":249,"last_updated":"2026-09-21 06:15:03 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2015-03-24/pdf/2015-06749.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2015-06749.pdf?1427114827","publication_date":"2015-03-24","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2015/03/24/2015-06749.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"0648-XD56":null},"regulation_id_numbers":["0648-XD56"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2015-04-13T06:00:12Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":15557,"subtype":null,"title":"Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Notice of 12-Month Finding on a Petition To List the Harbor Porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) in the Baltic Sea as an Endangered or Threatened Distinct Population Segment (DPS) Under the Endangered Species Act (ESA)","toc_doc":"12-Month Finding on a Petition to List the Harbor Porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) in the Baltic Sea as an Endangered or Threatened Distinct Population Segment","toc_subject":"Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants:","topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":80}
