View Rule

We are removing the San Miguel Island fox (Urocyon littoralis littoralis), Santa Rosa Island fox (U. l. santarosae), and Santa Cruz Island fox (U. l. santacruzae) from the Federal List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife, and are reclassifying the Santa Catalina Island fox (U. l. catalinae) from an endangered species to a threatened species. This action is based on a thorough review of the best available scientific and commercial information, which indicates that the threats to the first three subspecies have been eliminated or reduced to the point that each of the subspecies no longer meets the definition of endangered or threatened under the Endangered Species Act, and that the threats to the fourth have been reduced to the point that it can be reclassified as threatened.
