Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Endangered Species Status for Key Ring-Necked Snake and Rim Rock Crowned Snake

We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), determine endangered species status under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (Act), as amended, for two Florida species, the Key ring-necked snake (Diadophis punctatus acricus) and the rim rock crowned snake (Tantilla oolitica). This rule extends the protections of the Act to these species.
