SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The Alexander Archipelago wolf occurs in insular and mainland southeast Alaska, from Dixon Entrance (U.S./Canada border) to Yakutat Bay, including all large islands of the Alexander Archipelago except Admiralty, Baranof, and Chichagof Islands. The subspecies may be threatened by elimination of habitat, reduction in prey availability due to the harvest of older forests, and disturbance due to increased opportunities for public access on expanded logging road networks. The comment period for the status review originally closed on July 19, 1994 (59 FR 26476). Since that date many parties have expressed interest in submitting substantive comments. In order to accommodate these parties, the Service is extending the comment period until October 1, 1994. Written comments may be submitted to the Service office in the addresses section.
