Endangered and Threatened Wildlife 

and Plants; Initiation of 5-Year Status 

Reviews of the Aleutian Shield Fern 

and the Alaska Breeding Population of 

Steller’s Eider 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice; request for information. 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service, are initiating 5-year 

status reviews of the Aleutian shield 

fern and the Alaska breeding population 

of Steller’s eider under the Endangered 

Species Act. A 5-year status review is 

based on the best scientific and 

commercial data available at the time of 

the review. We are requesting 

submission of any new information on 

these species that has become available 

since the last reviews of the species. We 

invite comments and information from 

the public and local, State, Tribal, and 

Federal agencies. 

DATES: To ensure consideration of your 

comments in our preparation of these 5- 

year status reviews, we must receive 

your comments and information by 

March 11, 2024. However, we will 

accept information about any species at 

any time. 

ADDRESSES: For Aleutian shield fern, 

please submit your information by one 

of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the 

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), 

are initiating 5-year status reviews of the 

Aleutian shield fern (Polystichum 

aleuticum) and the Alaska breeding 

population of Steller’s eider (Polysticta 

stelleri) under the Endangered Species 

Act of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16 

U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). A 5-year status 

review is based on the best scientific 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
1126 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 6 / Tuesday, January 9, 2024 / Notices 

and commercial data available at the 

time of the review; therefore, we are 

requesting submission of any new 

information on this species that has 

become available since the last 5-year 

reviews were conducted in 2019. 

Why do we conduct 5-year reviews? 

Under the ESA, 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 ESA requires us to 

review each listed species’ status at least 

once every 5 years. Further, our 

regulations at 50 CFR 424.21 require 

that we publish a notice in the Federal 

Register announcing those species 

under active review. For additional 

information about 5-year reviews, go to 

http://www.fws.gov/endangered/whatwe-do/recovery-overview.html. 

What information do we consider in 

our review? 

In conducting these reviews, we 

consider the best scientific and 

commercial data that have become 

available since the listing determination 

or most recent status review, such as: 

1. The biology of the species, 

including but not limited to population 

trends, distribution, abundance, 

demographics, and genetics; 

2. Habitat conditions, including but 

not limited to amount, distribution, and 

suitability; 

3. Conservation measures that have 

been implemented that benefit the 

species; 

4. Threat status and trends in relation 

to the five listing factors (as defined in 

section 4(a)(1) of the ESA); and 

5. 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. 

Any new information will be 

considered during the 5-year review and 

will also be useful in evaluating the 

ongoing recovery programs for the 

species.
