Summary:
Neither the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service nor NOAA Fisheries (National Marine Fisheries Service) have developed uniform guidelines for listing, reclassifying, or delisting species by endangered or threatened status. NOAA Fisheries established a Steering Committee and a Quantitative Working Group to develop consistent and legally defensible listing decisions. This report presents methods by which NOAA Fisheries could eventually develop uniform guidelines.
