Endangered and Threatened Species; 

Notice of Initiation of a 5-Year Review 

for the Chinese River Dolphin 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),

ACTION: Notice of initiation; request for 

information. 

SUMMARY: The National Marine 

Fisheries Service (NMFS) announces the 

initiation of a 5-year review for the 

Chinese river dolphin, also called the 

Baiji or the Yangtze River dolphin, 

(Lipotes vexillifer). NMFS is required by 

the Endangered Species Act (ESA) to 

conduct 5-year reviews to ensure that 

the listing classifications of species are 

accurate. The 5-year review must be 

based on the best scientific and 

commercial data available at the time of 

the review. We request submission of 

any such information on the Indus River 

dolphin, particularly information on the 

status, threats, and recovery of the 

species that has become available since 

the previous review in 2017. 

DATES: To allow us adequate time to 

conduct this review, we must receive 

your information no later than 

December 2, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit 

information on this document, 

identified by NOAA–NMFS–2024–0111, 

by the following method: 

• Electronic Submission: Submit 

electronic information via the Federal eRulemaking Portal. Go to https://

www.regulations.gov and enter NOAA– 

NMFS–2024–0111 in the Search box. 

Click on the ‘‘Comment’’ icon, complete 

the required fields, and enter or attach 

your comments. 

Instructions: Information sent by any 

other method, to any other address or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces the initiation of our 

review of the Chinese River dolphin 

(Lipotes vexillifer), listed as endangered 

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

ESA requires that we conduct a review 

of listed species at least once every 5 

years. The species was previously 

reviewed in 2017. The regulations in 50 

CFR 424.21 require that we publish a 

notice in the Federal Register 

announcing species currently under 

active review. On the basis of such 

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

determine whether any species should 

be removed from the list (i.e., delisted) 

or reclassified from endangered to 

threatened or from threatened to 

endangered (16 U.S.C. 1533(c)(2)(B)). As 

described by the regulations in 

§ 424.11(e), the Secretary of Commerce 

shall delist a species if the Secretary 

determines, based on consideration of 

the factors and standards set forth in 

paragraph (c) of that section, that the 

best scientific and commercial data 

available substantiate that: (1) the 

species is extinct; (2) the species has 

recovered to the point at which it no 

longer meets the definition of an 

endangered species or a threatened 

species; (3) new information that has 

become available since the original 

listing decisions shows the listed entity 

does not meet the definition of an 

endangered species or a threatened 

species; or (4) new information that has 

become available since the original 

listing decision shows the listed entity 

does not meet the definition of a 

species. Any change in Federal 

classification would require a separate 

rulemaking process. 

Background information on the 

species is available on the NMFS 

website at: https://
