Abstract:

Here, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) announces a 12-month finding on a petition to list the northern leopard frog (Lithobates [=Rana] pipiens) under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). After review of the best scientific and commercial information, summarized here, the Service finds that listing the northern leopard frog is not warranted at this time. However, the Service asks the public to submit to it any new information that becomes available concerning threats to the northern leopard frog or its habitat at any time.
