{"abstract":"We, NMFS, announce the 90-day finding on a petition to list the oceanic whitetip shark (Carcharhinus longimanus) range-wide, or in the alternative, as one or more distinct population segments (DPSs) identified by the petitioners as endangered or threatened under the U.S. Endangered Species Act (ESA). We find that the petition presents substantial scientific or commercial information indicating that the petitioned action may be warranted for the species worldwide. Accordingly, we will initiate a status review of oceanic whitetip shark range-wide at this time. To ensure that the status review is comprehensive, we are soliciting scientific and commercial information regarding this species.","action":"90-day petition finding, request for information, and initiation of status review.","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/2016/01/12/2016-00384.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":223,"title":50},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":224,"title":50}],"citation":"81 FR 1376","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2016-03-14","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Information and comments on the subject action must be received by March 14, 2016.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket No. 151110999-5999-01"],"dockets":[{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"References Cited for Oceanic Whitetip Shark Proposed Rule","document_id":"NOAA-NMFS-2015-0152-0020"},{"title":"Oceanic Whitetip Status Review Report","document_id":"NOAA-NMFS-2015-0152-0019"}],"agency_name":"NOAA","documents":[{"comment_count":16,"comment_start_date":"2016-01-12","updated_at":"2023-03-01T01:11:41.484-05:00","comment_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/NOAA-NMFS-2015-0152-0001","allow_late_comments":null,"id":"NOAA-NMFS-2015-0152-0001","comment_end_date":"2016-03-15","regulations_dot_gov_open_for_comment":false}],"supporting_documents_count":2,"id":"NOAA-NMFS-2015-0152","title":"Response to a petition to list the oceanic whitetip shark (Carcharhinus longimanus) under the Endangered Species Act (ESA)"}],"document_number":"2016-00384","effective_on":null,"end_page":1385,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2016/01/12/2016-00384.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2016/01/12/2016-00384/endangered-and-threatened-wildlife-90-day-finding-on-a-petition-to-list-the-oceanic-whitetip-shark","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2016-00384?publication_date=2016-01-12","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2016-01-12/2016-00384/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":10,"page_views":{"count":1097,"last_updated":"2026-09-20 14:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2016-01-12/pdf/2016-00384.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2016-00384.pdf?1452519962","publication_date":"2016-01-12","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2016/01/12/2016-00384.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"0648-XE31":null},"regulation_id_numbers":["0648-XE31"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"References Cited for Oceanic Whitetip Shark Proposed Rule","document_id":"NOAA-NMFS-2015-0152-0020"},{"title":"Oceanic Whitetip Status Review Report","document_id":"NOAA-NMFS-2015-0152-0019"}],"comments_count":16,"agency_id":"NOAA","comments_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=NOAA-NMFS-2015-0152","supporting_documents_count":2,"docket_id":"NOAA-NMFS-2015-0152","document_id":"NOAA-NMFS-2015-0152-0001","regulation_id_number":null,"title":"Response to a petition to list the oceanic whitetip shark (Carcharhinus longimanus) under the Endangered Species Act (ESA)","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2023-03-01T06:11:40Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":1376,"subtype":null,"title":"Endangered and Threatened Wildlife; 90-Day Finding on a Petition To List the Oceanic Whitetip Shark as Threatened or Endangered Under the Endangered Species Act","toc_doc":"Petition to List the Oceanic Whitetip Shark as Threatened or Endangered","toc_subject":"Endangered and Threatened Wildlife:","topics":[],"type":"Proposed Rule","volume":81}
