To require the Director of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and the Assistant Administrator for Fisheries of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to withdraw proposed rules relating to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, and for other purposes.
HR 5504 requires the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries to withdraw three specific proposed rules related to the Endangered Species Act. These proposed rules would have revised procedures for interagency cooperation, listing species as endangered/threatened, and designating critical habitat. The bill prohibits the agencies from finalizing, implementing, or enforcing these withdrawn rules. This is a procedural measure affecting only the specific proposed rules listed, not creating new conservation policies.
