The St. Johns River Water Management District will hold a public hearing on proposed amendments to Fla. Admin. Code Ann. r. 40C-4.021, Definitions, and 40C-4.091, Publications Incorporated by Reference. The amendments reflect that the bald eagle, which is still protected under the federal Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, is no longer classified by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) as a threatened species under its imperiled species regulations; continue to provide to the bald eagle protections afforded by the District's rules to wildlife species classified by FWC as endangered, threatened, or species of special concern; and update rule references to listed wildlife and plants in the definitions of "listed species," "endangered species," and "threatened species." The hearing will be held August 11, 2009. https://www.flrules.org/gateway/ruleNo.asp?id=40C-4.021.
