19The one exception is within the exterior 

boundaries of the Puyallup Indian Reservation, also 

known as the 1873 Survey Area. Under the 

Puyallup Tribe of Indians Settlement Act of 1989, 

25 U.S.C. 1773, Congress explicitly provided State 

and local agencies in Washington authority over 

activities on non-trust lands within the 1873 Survey 

Area. 

• Does not impose an information 

collection burden under the provisions 

of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.); 

• Is certified as not having a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the Regulatory Flexibility Act 

(5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.); 

• Does not contain any unfunded 

mandate or significantly or uniquely 

affect small governments, as described 

in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4); 

• Does not have Federalism 

implications as specified in Executive 

Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 

1999); 

• Is not an economically significant 

regulatory action based on health or 

safety risks subject to Executive Order 

13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997); 

• Is not a significant regulatory action 

subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 

28355, May 22, 2001); 

• Is not subject to requirements of 

Section 12(d) of the National 

Technology Transfer and Advancement 

Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because 

application of those requirements would 

be inconsistent with the CAA; and 

• Does not provide EPA with the 

discretionary authority to address, as 

appropriate, disproportionate human 

health or environmental effects, using 

practicable and legally permissible 

methods, under Executive Order 12898 

(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). 

In addition, this rule does not have 

tribal implications as specified by 

Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, 

November 9, 2000), because the SIP is 

not approved to apply in Indian country 

located in Washington 19 and EPA notes 

that it will not impose substantial direct 

costs on tribal governments or preempt 

tribal law.

Texas: Final Authorization of State 

Hazardous Waste Management 

Program Revisions 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The State of Texas has 

applied to EPA for Final authorization 

of the changes to its hazardous waste 

program under the Resource 

Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). 

EPA proposes to grant Final 

authorization to the State of Texas. In 

the ‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ section of 

this Federal Register, EPA is 

authorizing the changes by an 

immediate final rule. EPA did not make 

a proposal prior to the immediate final 

rule because we believe this action is 

not controversial and do not expect 

comments that oppose it. We have 

explained the reasons for this 

authorization in the preamble to the 

immediate final rule. Unless we get 

written comments which oppose this 

authorization during the comment 

period, the immediate final rule will 

become effective on the date it 

establishes, and we will not take further 

action on this proposal. If we receive 

comments that oppose this action, we 

will withdraw the immediate final rule 

and it will not take effect. We will then 

respond to public comments in a later 

final rule based on this proposal. You 

may not have another opportunity for 

comment. If you want to comment on 

this action, you must do so at this time. 

DATES: Send your written comments by 

April 5, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: Send written comments to 

Alima Patterson, Region 6, Regional 

Authorization Coordinator, (6PD–O), 

Multimedia Planning and Permitting 

Division, at the address shown below. 

You can examine copies of the materials 

submitted by the State of Texas during 

normal business hours at the following 

locations: EPA Region 6, 1445 Ross 

Avenue, Dallas, Texas 75202–2733,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Why do we conduct 5-year reviews? 

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

we maintain Lists of Endangered and 

Threatened Wildlife and Plants (which 

we collectively refer to as the List) in 

the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 

50 CFR 17.11 (for animals) and 17.12 

(for plants). Section 4(c)(2)(A) of the Act 

requires us to review each listed 

species’ status at least once every 5 

years. Then, under section 4(c)(2)(B), we 

determine whether to remove any 

species from the List (delist), to 

reclassify it from endangered to 

threatened, to reclassify it from 

threatened to endangered, or to 

conclude that the current listing is 

appropriate. Any change in Federal 

classification requires a separate 

rulemaking process. 

We use the following definitions, 

from 50 CFR 424.02, in our analysis of 

classification status: 

(A) Species includes any species or 

subspecies of fish, wildlife, or plant, 

and any distinct population segment of 

any species of vertebrate, that 

interbreeds when mature; 

(B) Endangered species means any 

species that is in danger of extinction 

throughout all or a significant portion of 

its range; and 

(C) Threatened species means any 

species that is likely to become an 

endangered species within the 

foreseeable future throughout all or a 

significant portion of its range. 

Our regulations at 50 CFR 424.21 

require that we publish a notice in the 

Federal Register announcing those 

species under active review. 

II. What species are under review? 

This notice announces our active 

review of the 46 species listed in

III. What information do we consider in 

the review? 

A 5-year review considers all new 

information available at the time of the 

review. In conducting these reviews, we 

consider the best scientific and 

commercial data that has become 

available since the listing determination 

or most recent status review, such as: 

(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) Threat status and trends (see five 

factors under heading ‘‘How Do We 

Determine Whether a Species is 

Endangered or Threatened?’’); and 

(E) Other new information, data, or 

corrections including, but not limited 

to, taxonomic or nomenclatural changes, 

identification of erroneous information 

contained in the List, and improved 

analytical methods. 

IV. How do we determine whether a 

species is endangered or threatened? 

Section 4(a)(1) of the Act requires that 

we determine whether a species is 


srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 44 / Tuesday, March 6, 2012 / Proposed Rules 13251 

endangered or threatened based on one 

or more of the five following factors: 

(A) The present or threatened 

destruction, modification, or 

curtailment of its habitat or range; 

(B) Overutilization for commercial, 

recreational, scientific, or educational 

purposes; 

(C) Disease or predation; 

(D) The inadequacy of existing 

regulatory mechanisms; or 

(E) Other natural or manmade factors 

affecting its continued existence. 

Under section 4(b)(1) of the Act, we 

must base our assessment of these 

factors solely on the best scientific and 

commercial data available. 

V. What could happen as a result of this 

review? 

For each species under review, if we 

find new information that indicates a 

change in classification may be 

warranted, we may propose, through 

formal rulemaking, to: 

(A) Reclassify the species from 

threatened to endangered (uplist); 

(B) Reclassify the species from 

endangered to threatened (downlist); or 

(C) Remove the species from the List 

(delist). 

If we determine that a change in 

classification is not warranted, then no 

formal rulemaking is required; the 

species remains on the List under its 

current status. 

VI. Request for New Information 

To ensure that a 5-year review is 

complete and based on the best 

available scientific and commercial 

information, we request new 

information from all sources. See ‘‘What 

Information Do We Consider in Our 

Review?’’ for specific criteria. If you 

submit information, please support it 

with documentation such as maps, 

bibliographic references, methods used 

to gather and analyze the data, and/or 

copies of any pertinent publications, 

reports, or letters by knowledgeable 

sources. 

If you wish to provide information for 

any species listed above, please submit 

your comments and materials to the 

appropriate contact in either the Idaho 

or Pacific Islands Fish and Wildlife 

Office (see ADDRESSES section). 

VII. Public Availability of Comments 

Before including your address, phone 

number, email address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you can ask us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so. 

Comments and materials received will 

be available for public inspection, by 

appointment, during normal business 

hours at the offices where the comments 

are submitted.

ACTION: Notice of initiation of reviews; 

request for information. 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service (Service), are initiating 

5-year reviews under the Endangered 

Species Act (Act), as amended, for nine 

northeastern species. We will review the 

following species, all listed as 

endangered under the Act: Maryland 

darter, Virginia fringed mountain snail, 

Virginia big-eared bat, Hay’s Spring 

amphipod, Lee County Cave isopod, and 

Shenandoah salamander. We will also 

review the following threatened species: 

Knieskern’s beaked-rush, small whorled 

pogonia, and Virginia sneezeweed. We 

conduct these reviews to ensure that our 

classification of each species on the lists 

of endangered and threatened wildlife 

and plants is accurate. A 5-year review 

assesses the best scientific and 

commercial data available at the time of 

the review. We are requesting 

submission of any such information that 

has become available since the previous 

5-year review for each species. Based on 

review results, we will determine 

whether we should change the listing 

status of any of these species. 

DATES: To ensure consideration, please 

send your written information by May 7, 

2012. However, we will continue to 

accept new information about any listed 

species at any time.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Why do we conduct 5-year reviews? 

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

we maintain lists of endangered and 

threatened wildlife and plants (which 

we refer to collectively as the list) at 50 

CFR 17.11 (for animals) and 17.12 (for 

plants). Section 4(c)(2)(A) of the ESA 

requires us to review the status of each 

listed species at least once every 5 years. 

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

determine whether to remove the 

species from the list (delist), reclassify 

it from endangered to threatened, or 

reclassify it from threatened to 

endangered. Any change in Federal 

classification requires a separate 

rulemaking process. 

In classifying a species, we use the 

following definitions from 50 CFR 

424.02: 

(A) Species includes any species or 

subspecies of fish, wildlife, or plant, or 

any distinct population segment of any 

species or vertebrate, that interbreeds 

when mature; 

(B) Endangered species means any 

species that is in danger of extinction 

throughout all or a significant portion of 

its range; and 

(C) Threatened species means any 

species that is likely to become an 

endangered species within the 

foreseeable future throughout all or a 

significant portion of its range. 

We must support delisting a species 

by the best scientific and commercial 

data available, and we only consider 

delisting if data substantiate that the 

species is neither endangered nor 

threatened for one or more of the 

following reason (50 CFR 424.11 (d)): 

(A) The species is extinct; 

(B) The species is recovered; or 

(C) The original data available when 

the species was listed, or the
