Relief Act Notice 

Legal Rights and Protections Under the SCRA 

Servicemembers on ‘‘active duty’’ or 

‘‘active service,’’ or a dependent of such a 

servicemember may be entitled to certain 

legal protections and debt relief pursuant to 

the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (50 

U.S.C. App. 501, et seq.) (SCRA).

servicemember’s military service, a court 

may stop the proceedings for a period of 

time, or adjust the debt. In addition, the sale, 

foreclosure, or seizure of real estate shall not 

be valid if it occurs during, or within 90 days

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Fish and Wildlife Service 

Notice of Availability of a Final 

Implementation Schedule for the South 

Florida Multi-Species Recovery Plan 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of document availability. 

SUMMARY: The Fish and Wildlife Service 

(‘‘we,’’ ‘‘our,’’ or ‘‘Service’’) announces 

the availability of the Implementation 

schedule for the South Florida MultiSpecies Recovery Plan (MSRP). The 

MSRP, as approved in 1999, included a 

discussion of the need for a coordinated 

effort to develop an implementation 

schedule. This implementation 

schedule was prepared with the 

assistance of the South Florida Multispecies/Ecosystem Recovery 

Implementation Team (MERIT). The 

implementation schedule prioritizes the 

recovery tasks as described in the MSRP 

on a community level, and identifies the 

associated participating parties, time 

frames, and costs necessary to 

accomplish those tasks. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of the final 

implementation schedule can be 

downloaded from http:// 

verobeach.fws.gov or can be obtained by 

contacting the Fish and Wildlife 

Service, South Florida Ecological 

Services Office, 1339 20th Street, Vero 

Beach, Florida 32960. We encourage 

requests for the CD–ROM version of the 

implementation schedule, as the hard 

(paper) copy encompasses more than 

140 pages. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Cindy Schulz at the South Florida 

Ecological Services Office, (772) 562–

3909, ext. 305. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 

2, 2004, we published a notice 

announcing the availability of this 

technical/agency draft implementation 

schedule in the Federal Register, and 

opened a 60-day public comment 

period. We particularly sought 

comments concerning: (1) 

Recommended changes to the priority 

number for recovery tasks; (2) 

recommendations for additions or 

deletions to the participants identified 

for each recovery task; and (3) 

additional information to assist us with 

determining costs for accomplishing 

recovery tasks. Four parties provided 

comments on ten species. Among those 

were comments on recovery task 

priority number, participants, and cost. 

Comments were also received on the 

recovery tasks themselves. We have 

considered and addressed comments 

where appropriate in this final 

implementation schedule. Those 

comments, as well as updates by Service 

staff, led to this final version of the 

implementation schedule that differs 

from the technical/agency draft. The 

recovery tasks listed in the 

implementation schedule were taken 

directly from the MSRP. Any changes 

needed to the tasks themselves will be 

addressed in a future revision of the 

MSRP rather than in the 

implementation schedule. These 

changes, if any, would be subject to 

public comment only during such future 

revision. 

Background 

Restoring listed animals and plants to 

the point where they are again secure, 

self-sustaining components of their 

ecosystems is a primary goal of the 

Service’s threatened and endangered 

species program. To help guide the 

recovery effort, we prepare recovery 

plans for listed species native to the 

United States, pursuant to section 4(f) of 

the Endangered Species Act of 1973 

(Act), as amended (16 U.S.C. et seq.), 

which requires the development of 

recovery plans for listed species unless 

such a plan would not promote the 

conservation of a particular species. 

Recovery plans describe actions that 

may be necessary for conservation of 

these species, establish criteria for 

reclassification from endangered to 

threatened status or removal from the 

list, and estimate the time and cost for 

implementing the needed recovery 

measures. 

Section 4(f) of the Act also requires 

that a public notice and an opportunity 

for public review and comment be 

provided during recovery plan 

development. Accordingly, the MSRP 

was made available for public review 

and comment before its approval in May 

1999. The MSRP identifies the recovery 

needs of the 68 threatened and 

endangered species and 23 natural 

communities in the south Florida 

ecosystem, which encompasses 67,346 

square kilometers (26,002 square miles), 

covering the 19 southernmost counties 

in Florida.

The process to develop this final 

implementation schedule involved the 

collaborative effort of a team appointed 

by the Service to focus specifically on 

recovery implementation efforts in 

South Florida. The team, known as 

MERIT, is comprised of 36 members 

representing Federal, State, and local 

government agencies; Tribal 

governments; academia; industry, and 

the private sector. MERIT members 

assisted in assigning priorities to 

recovery tasks, and estimating the 

duration and possible cost to complete 

each task. They also identified 

organizations or agencies that would 

likely be involved in accomplishing 

each task. 

The implementation schedule for the 

MSRP contains recovery tasks for those 

species that occur only in south Florida, 

and for which the South Florida 

Ecological Services Office has recovery 

lead. Other Service offices have 

recovery responsibility for those species 

that occur in south Florida but also 

occur elsewhere. Implementation 

schedules for those species can be found 

in the approved individual recovery 

plans for those species. Recovery tasks 

are provided in this implementation 

schedule for the following species:
