Correction to Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

Additional Public Comment Period

 

  

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission

 

 

Title 58.  Recreation

Part II.  Fish and Boat Commission

Chapter 75

Endangered Species

            The Fish and Boat Commission (Commission) published a notice of proposed rulemaking at 35 Pa. B. 2398 (April 23, 2005) seeking public comments regarding proposed amendments to 58 Pa. Code Chapter 75 (relating to endangered species) that, among other things, add the eastern spadefoot toad to the list of state endangered species.  The preamble of the notice of proposed rulemaking erroneously states that two extant breeding populations of eastern spadefoot toads are currently reported in the Commonwealth in Northumberland and Bucks Counties.  The correct counties are Northumberland and Berks Counties.

            In light of this error, the Commission is seeking public comments for an additional 30-day period.  Interested persons are invited to submit written comments, objections or suggestions about the proposed rulemaking to the Executive Director, Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, P.O. Box 67000, Harrisburg, PA 17106-7000, within 30 days after publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.  Comments submitted by facsimile will not be accepted.  Comments also may be submitted electronically by completing the form at   http://www.state.pa.us/Fish/regcomments.  If an acknowledgment of electronic comments is not received by the sender within 2 working days, the comments should be retransmitted to ensure receipt.
