AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of 90-day petition finding; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On Wednesday, December 16, 2009, we, the U.S. Fish and 
Wildlife Service, announced a 90-day finding on 192 species from a 
petition to list 475 species in the Southwest region of the United 
States as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act of 
1973, as amended (Act). In that notice, we used an incorrect docket 
number in one place and asked commenters submitting hardcopy comments 
to refer to this docket number in their comments. The correct docket 
number is [FWS-R2-ES-2008-0130]. However, comments we received under 
the incorrect docket number will be routed to the correct docket. If 
you already submitted a comment, even with the incorrect docket number, 
you need not resubmit it.

DATES: To allow us adequate time to conduct a status review, we request 
that we receive information on or before February 16, 2010.

ADDRESSES: You may submit information by one of the following methods:
    <bullet> Federal rulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On Wednesday, December 16, 2009, we 
announced a 90-day finding on 192 species from a petition we received 
to list 475 species in the Southwest region of the United States as 
threatened or endangered under the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) (74 FR 
66865). We found that the petition presented substantial information 
indicating that 67 of the 192 species may warrant listing as threatened 
or endangered. When we make a finding that a petition presents 
substantial information indicating that listing a species may be 
warranted, we are required to promptly review the status of the species 
(status review). For the status review to be complete and based on the 
best available scientific and commercial information, we requested 
information on each of the 67 species from governmental agencies, 
Native American Tribes, the scientific community, industry, and any 
other interested parties.
    In that notice, we asked commenters to refer to an incorrect docket 
number when submitting comments via U.S. mail or hand delivery. The 
correct docket number is [FWS-R2-ES-2008-0130], and our instructions to 
persons submitting comments electronically included the correct docket 
number. All hardcopy comments received under the incorrect docket 
number will be routed to the correct docket. If you already submitted a 
comment, even with the incorrect docket number, you need not resubmit 
it. For more information about the species, background, and our 
finding, see our original notice at 74 FR 66865.
