The purpose of this rulemaking is (1) to add the striped newt (Notophthalmus perstriatus) to the Florida Endangered and Threatened Species List as a State-designated Threatened species and (2) to incorporate in rule by reference the Species Conservation Measures and Permitting Guidelines (Guidelines) for the striped newt. The effect of this rule revision is a change in listing status for the striped newt found warranted by the Commission, thereby providing the species with the protections for State-designated Threatened species in Chapter 68A-27, F.A.C.
