Published Date: 2/26/2026

Summary

Proposed delisting of Geocarpon minimum

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service proposes to remove Geocarpon minimum from the Federal List of Endangered and Threatened Plants. If finalized, the prohibitions and conservation measures under the Endangered Species Act—particularly sections 4 and 7—would no longer apply to this species. The Service is accepting comments through April 27, 2026, and will accept requests for a public hearing through April 13, 2026.
