U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is removing the northeastern bulrush (Scirpus ancistrochaetus) from the Federal List of Endangered and Threatened Plants. Their review of the best scientific and commercial data available indicates that the threats to the northeastern bulrush have been eliminated or reduced to the point that the species no longer meets the definition of an endangered or threatened species under the ESA. Accordingly, the prohibitions and conservation measures provided by the Act, particularly through sections 7 and 9, will no longer apply to the northeastern bulrush. This rule is effective 10 July 2026. POC is Audrey Mayer, Field Supervisor, New England Ecological Services Field Office; telephone 603-223-2541; email audrey_mayer@fws.gov.
