[RTID 0648–XA644] 

Endangered and Threatened Species; 

Initiation of a 5-Year Review of 

Staghorn Coral, Elkhorn Coral, Pillar 

Coral, Rough Cactus Coral, Lobed Star 

Coral, Mountainous Star Coral, and 

Boulder Star Coral 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of initiation of 5-Year 

Review; request for information. 

SUMMARY: NMFS announces a 5-year 

review of staghorn coral (Acropora 

cervicornis), elkhorn coral (Acropora 

palmata), pillar coral (Dendrogyra 

cylindrus), rough cactus coral 

(Mycetophyllia ferox), lobed star coral 

(Orbicella annularis), mountainous star 

coral (Orbicella faveolata), and boulder 

star coral (Orbicella franksi) under the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA). 

A 5-year review is based on the best 

scientific and commercial data available 

at the time of the review; therefore, we 

are requesting submission of any such 

information on staghorn coral, elkhorn 

coral, pillar coral, rough cactus coral, 

lobed star coral, mountainous star coral, 

and boulder star coral that has become 

available since their original listings as 

threatened species or the most recent 

status review for staghorn and elkhorn 

coral in 2014. 

DATES: To allow us adequate time to 

conduct this review, we must receive 

your information no later than March 8, 

2021. 

However, we will continue to accept 

new information about any listed 

species at any time. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by NOAA–NMFS–2020–0147, 

by either of the following methods: 

• Electronic Submissions: Submit all 

electronic public comments via the 

Federal e-Rulemaking Portal. 

1. Go to www.regulations.gov/ 

document?D=NOAA-NMFS-2020-0147, 

2. Click the ‘‘Comment Now!’’ icon, 

complete the required fields, and 

3. Enter or attach your comments. 

• Email: Submit written comments to 

alison.moulding@noaa.gov. 

Instructions: We may not consider 

comments if they are sent by any other 

method, to any other address or 

individual, or received after the end of 

the specified period. All comments 

received are a part of the public record 

and will generally be posted for public 

viewing on www.regulations.gov 

without change. All personal identifying 

information (e.g., name, address, etc.), 

confidential business information, or 

otherwise sensitive information 

submitted voluntarily by the sender will 

be publicly accessible. We will accept 

anonymous comments (enter ‘‘N/A’’ in 

the required fields if you wish to remain 

anonymous). 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Alison Moulding at the above email 

address or by phone at 727–551–5607. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 9, 

2006, we listed elkhorn coral and 

staghorn coral as threatened under the 

ESA (71 FR 26852). On September 10, 

2014, we listed lobed star coral, 

mountainous star coral, boulder star 

coral, rough cactus coral, and pillar 

coral as threatened and reaffirmed the 

status of elkhorn coral and staghorn 

coral as threatened (79 FR 53852). 

Section 4(c)(2)(A) of the ESA requires 

that we conduct a review of listed 

species at least once every 5 years. The 

ESA’s implementing regulations at 50 

CFR 424.21 require that we publish a 

notice in the Federal Register 

announcing those species currently 

under active review. On the basis of this 

review, under section 4(c)(2)(B), we 

determine whether these species should 

be delisted or reclassified from 

endangered to threatened or from 

threatened to endangered. As described 

in 50 CFR 424.11(e), the Secretary will 

delist a species if the Secretary finds 

that, after conducting a status review 

based on the best scientific and 

commercial data available: (1) The 

species is extinct; (2) the species does 

not meet the definition of an 

endangered species or threatened 

species; or (3) the listed entity does not 

meet the statutory definition of a 

species. Changes to the listing status of 

a species can only be made following 

publication of a proposed rule with an 

opportunity for public comment and our 

consideration of the comments before 

making a final determination to 

reclassify or delist the species. 

Public Solicitation of New Information 

To ensure that the 5-year review is

environmental entities, and any other 

interested parties concerning the status 

of staghorn coral, elkhorn coral, pillar 

coral, rough cactus coral, lobed star 

coral, mountainous star coral, and 

boulder star coral. 

The 5-year review considers the best 

scientific and commercial data and all 

new information that has become 

available since the listing determination 

or most recent status review. Categories 

of requested information include (A) 

species biology including, but not 

limited to, population trends, 

distribution, abundance, demographics, 

and genetics; (B) habitat conditions 

including, but not limited to, amount, 

distribution, and suitability; (C) 

conservation measures that have been 

implemented that benefit the species; 

(D) status and trends of threats; and (E) 

other new information, data, or 

corrections including, but not limited 

to, taxonomic or nomenclature changes 

and improved analytical methods. 

If you wish to provide information for 

this 5-year review, you may submit your
