Dear northern long-eared bat stakeholder,



On November 29, 2022, we at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will announce a final rule to reclassify the northern long-eared bat as endangered under the Endangered Species Act. Based on a thorough review of the species’ status, we found the species, currently listed as threatened, now meets the definition of endangered under the act due to the range-wide impacts of white-nose syndrome. Our assessment found that white-nose syndrome has spread to nearly 80% of the species’ range and almost all of the U.S. range since the bat was listed as threatened in 2015.



The final rule to reclassify the northern long-eared bat as endangered appears in the November 30, 2022, Federal Register. The rule becomes effective 60 days after publication, on January 30, 2023.



We will host an information session for interested groups and individuals on December 2, 2022, at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time, 10:00 a.m. Central Time. The session will include an overview of our final rule, a description of the tools we are developing to assist project managers, and a chance for you to ask questions.
