The Pomona College Organic Farm, of Pomona College, will take the civil initiative and continue to collect signatures online to repeal two recent Bush Administrative directives amending the Endangered Species Act.  In spite of  the closing of the 30 day and extended 30 day public comment period on these proposed consultation and formatting directives the "Farm" will continue to keep the pressure on to repeal these top-down administrative changes to the Endangered Species Act.
According to law Section 43 of CFR Part 14 –PETITONS FOR RULEMAKING allows the filing of petitions under the Administrative Procedure Act. That any person may petition for the issuance, amendment, or repeal of a rule (5 U.S.C. 553(e)). The petition will be addressed to the Secretary of the Interior, U.S. Department of the Interior, Washington, DC 20240.  It will identify the rule requested to be repealed or provide the text of a proposed rule or amendment and include reasons in support of the petition.
The petition will be given prompt consideration and the petitioner will be notified promptly of action taken.
And finally that a petition for rulemaking may be published in the FEDERAL REGISTER if the official responsible for acting on the petition determines that public comment may aid in the consideration of the petition.
The first online petition REPEAL ENDANGERED SPECIES SECTION 7 CONSULTATIONS collection site can be found at:

 

 
The second online petition REPEAL the ENDANGERED SPECIES FORMATTING site can be found at:
