Although many people may have belived the rules delisting the wolf were already out there for public comment, that was not the case.
The final rule for delisting in the Great Lakes was published today, as was the proposed rule for the Northern Rockies.
Here are the links. You have 60 days to comment. Don’t forget the public hearings.

Ralph – A summary of the USFWS delisting proposals and key points to mention in comments will be forthcoming from various wolf conservation groups.
It’s early in the game and pro-wolf folks might want to bide their time a bit before commenting.
Is this removing all areas or only those areas listed? Ralph noted parts of Oregon, Washington and Utah were removed with no documented wolves. The same is true for the Great Lakes Region. For example parts of Illinois , Indiana, and Ohio. The lower section of Michigan also has no documented wolves.
Yes. It’s true for the Great Lakes too. Ralph M
