Title: Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Proposed Reclassification of the American Crocodile From Endangered to Threatened 
Abstract: We plan to propose to reclassify the American crocodile from endangered to threatened. This action is based on the substantial improvement in the species' status and improved understanding of the species' biology and management needs. Since its listing in 1975, the population of the American crocodile in Florida has more than doubled and its distribution has expanded. Land acquisition has also provided protection for many important nesting areas.
