Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; 12-Month Not-Warranted Finding for the Temblor Legless Lizard

Interior Department, Fish and Wildlife Service — observed across 2 documents over 7 days. Use the source documents below before deciding whether this affects your business.

In plain English

The Fish and Wildlife Service reviewed whether the Temblor legless lizard needs federal protection as an endangered or threatened species and decided it does not need that protection right now. If your business operates in the lizard's habitat in California, monitor local environmental regulations, as protections could change if new evidence emerges.
