core conservation strategy of the revised 

plan is to increase recruitment and 

decrease mortality, thereby allowing 

populations of Texas snowbells to grow 

naturally. One recovery objective is to 

reduce the intensity of ungulate 

browsing throughout the subspecies’ 

range, allowing populations to become 

self-sustaining without human 

intervention. Another recovery objective 

is population augmentation and 

strategic placement of reintroduced 

populations to restore population 

connectivity, thereby enhancing gene 

flow and fertilization between 

genetically diverse individuals and 

populations. To date, cooperating 

landowners and volunteers have made 

significant progress toward 

accomplishing these objectives. 

The downlisting and delisting criteria 

provided in the revised recovery plan 

are based on the natural recruitment of 

new Texas snowbells individuals, their 

growth to maturity, and the increase of 

populations to a viable level that is 

sustained without human intervention. 

The time required to improve the 

viability of Texas snowbells is 

influenced largely by its life history. 

Request for Public Comments 

Section 4(f) of the ESA requires us to 

provide public notice and an 

opportunity for public review and 

comment during recovery plan 

development. It is also our policy to 

request peer review of recovery plans 

(July 1, 1994; 59 FR 34270). In an 

appendix to the approved recovery plan, 

we will summarize and respond to the 

issues raised by the public and peer 

reviewers. Substantive comments may 

or may not result in changes to the 

recovery plan; comments regarding 

recovery plan implementation will be 

forwarded as appropriate to Federal or 

other entities so that they can be taken 

into account during the course of 

implementing recovery actions. 

Responses to individual commenters 

will not be provided, but we will 

provide a summary of how we 

addressed substantive comments in an 

appendix to the approved recovery plan. 

We invite written comments on the 

draft recovery plan. In particular, we are 

interested in additional information 

regarding the current threats to the 

species, ongoing beneficial management 

efforts, and the costs associated with 

implementing the recommended 

recovery actions. 

Public Availability of Comments 

All comments received, including 

names and addresses, will become part 

of the administrative record and will be 

available to the public. Before including
