What happens if new scientific information is presented during the public notice period?
A9: Our analysis of new information received during the public notice period may indicate that a change in Florida scrub-jay classification is appropriate. Changes may include delisting or reclassifying from threatened to endangered, but any change would occur only through a formal rulemaking process, including public review and comment, as defined in section 4(a) of the Act. No change in status of the species may occur until that process is complete.
