Endangered Species Status for Big Red Sage (Draft)
Jan. 21, 2025
USFWS proposes to list the big red sage (Salvia pentstemonoides), a plant species from central Texas, as an endangered species under the ESA. This determination also serves as their 12-month finding on a petition to list the big red sage. After a review of the best available scientific and commercial information, they find that listing the species is warranted. If finalized this rule as proposed would add this species to the List of Endangered and Threatened Plants and extend the Act's protections to the species. They have determined that designating critical habitat for the big red sage is not prudent. This proposed rule does not mandate when a parameter must be monitored or establish a discharge limit. They will accept comments received or postmarked on or before 24 March 2025. POC is Karen Myers, Field Supervisor, USFWS, Austin Ecological Services Field Office, 1505 Ferguson Lane, Austin, TX 78754; tele 512-937-7371. (Federal Register 21 January 2025 [Proposed Rule] Pages 7043-7056)
