SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

Restoring an endangered or

threatened animal or plan to the point

where it is again a secure, selfsustaining member of its ecosystem is a

primary goal of the Fish and Wildlife

Service’s (Service) endangered species

program. To help guide the recovery

effort, the Service is working to prepare

recovery plans for most of the listed

species native to the United States.

Recovery plans describe actions

considered necessary for conservation of

the species, establish criteria for

recovery levels for downlisting or

delisting them, and estimate time and

cost for implementing the recovery

measures needed.

Under the provisions of the

Endangered Species Act of 1973 (Act) as

amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), the

Service approved the revised Grizzly

Bear Recovery Plan on September 10,

1993. The Plan approved in 1993 did

not contain a complete chapter on the

Bitterroot or North Cascade ecosystems

because the specific information

necessary to develop these chapters was

not available. The Service approved the

Bitterroot Ecosystem Grizzly Bear

Recovery Plan Chapter and the North

Cascades Ecosystem Recovery Plan

Chapter on September 11, 1996, and

June 23, 1997, respectively.

In May 1994 The Fund For Animals,

Inc., and 22 other organizations and

individuals filed suit in the U.S. District

Court for the District of Columbia over

the adequacy of the Plan approved in

1993. Later in May 1994 the National

Audubon Society and 19 other

organizations and individuals also filed

suit in the same court. The two cases

were eventually consolidated. In

September 1995 the court issued an

opinion. The motions for summary

judgment of both the plaintiffs and the

defendants were granted in part and

denied in part. The court ordered the

Service to reconsider certain portions of

the Plan, and to provide supplemental

information. The information presented

in the document being made available

for review includes supplemental

information that the Service was to

provide and the results of its

reconsideration.

The Service is also in the process of

developing habitat based recovery

criteria to be added to the Plan. Those

criteria are not included in the

information being made available now.

The habitat based recovery criteria will

be made available for public review at

a later date.

Section 4(f) of the Act, as amended in

1988, requires that public notice and an
