On March 23, 2015, we (NMFS and USFWS, or the Services) published a proposed rule to revise the green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas; hereafter referred to as the green turtle) listings under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). We proposed to remove the current range- wide listing and, in its place, list eight distinct population segments (DPSs) as threatened and three as endangered. We opened a public comment period that lasted through June 22, 2015, announced a public hearing in Honolulu, Hawaii, and solicited requests for additional public hearings. With this document, we announce additional public hearings in Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), and American Samoa. To allow adequate time for comments after the last public hearing, we extend the public comment period through July 27, 2015.

SUMMARY: On March 23, 2015, we (NMFS and USFWS, or the Services) 
published a proposed rule to revise the green sea turtle (Chelonia 
mydas; hereafter referred to as the green turtle) listings under the

(DPSs) as threatened and three as endangered. We opened a public 
comment period that lasted through June 22, 2015, announced a public

public hearings. With this document, we announce additional public 
hearings in Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The green turtle is currently listed under the ESA as a threatened 
species globally, with the exception of the Florida and Mexican Pacific 
coast breeding populations, which are listed as endangered. On March 
23, 2015 (80 FR 15271), the Services published a proposed rule to 
revise these listings because we find that the green turtle is composed 
of 11 distinct population segments (DPSs) that qualify as ``species'' 
for listing under the ESA. We proposed to remove the current range-wide 
listing and, in its place, list eight DPSs as threatened and three as 
endangered. We proposed to list the Central West Pacific DPS (including 
green turtles originating from Guam and CNMI) and the Central South 
Pacific DPS (including green turtles originating from American Samoa) 
as endangered. We also proposed to apply existing protective 
regulations to the DPSs and to continue the existing critical habitat 
designation (i.e., waters surrounding Culebra Island, Puerto Rico) in 
effect for the North Atlantic DPS. We solicited comments on these 
proposed actions; we indicated that comments must be received by June 
22, 2015.
    We received several requests for additional public hearings. In 
response to the requests, by this notice we announce that we will host 
additional public hearings in Guam, CNMI, and American Samoa, and 
extend the public comment period through July 27, 2015. Previously 
submitted comments do not need to be resubmitted.

parties may provide oral or written comments at this hearing, which
