Comment from the Boundary Line Foundation

Summary: The Boundary Line Foundation argues that the 1996 "Distinct Population Segment" (DPS) policy lacks objective scientific standards, violates the Information Quality Act, and allows for subjective, advocacy-driven misuse of the Endangered Species Act. They request that the Department of the Interior rescind the policy and instead establish a new framework based on quantifiable biological metrics and peer-reviewed standards.
