Endangered and Threatened Wildlife 

and Plants; Initiation of 5-Year Reviews 

of 58 Species in California, Nevada, 

Arizona, and Utah; Availability of 

Completed 5-Year Reviews in 

California and Nevada 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of initiation of 5-year 

reviews; availability of completed 5-year 

reviews. 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service, initiate 5-year reviews 

for 58 species under the Endangered 

Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). 

We request any new information on 

these species that may have a bearing on 

their classification as endangered or 

threatened (see Table 1 below). Based 

on the results of these 5-year reviews, 

we will make a finding on whether 

these species are properly classified 

under the Act. We also indicate in this 

notice 42 5-year reviews we completed 

for species in California and Nevada in 

mid to late Fiscal Year (FY) 2008. 

Reviews we completed for 16 species in 

early FY 2008 were indicated in our 

previous initiation notice published in 

the Federal Register on March 5, 2008 

(73 FR 11945). 

DATES: To allow us adequate time to 

conduct these reviews, we must receive 

your information no later than May 26, 

2009. However, we will continue to 

accept new information about any listed 

species at any time. 

ADDRESSES: For instructions on how to 

submit information and review the 

information that we receive on these 

species, see ‘‘Public Solicitation of New 

Information.’’ 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

species-specific information, contact the 

appropriate person listed under ‘‘Public 

Solicitation of New Information.’’ For 

contact information about completed 5- 

year reviews, see ‘‘Completed 5-Year 

Reviews.’’ Individuals who are hearingimpaired or speech-impaired may call 

the Federal Relay Service at (800) 877– 

8337 for TTY assistance. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Why Do We Conduct a 5-Year Review 

Under the Endangered Species Act 

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

maintain a List of Endangered and 

Threatened Wildlife and Plants at 50 

CFR 17.11 (for animals) and 17.12 (for 

plants) (List). We amend the List by 

publishing final rules in the Federal 

Register. Section 4(c)(2)(A) of the Act 

requires that we conduct a review of 

listed species at least once every 5 years. 

Section 4(c)(2)(B) requires that we 

determine (1) whether a species no 

longer meets the definition of 

threatened or endangered and should be 

removed from the List (delisted); (2) 

whether a species listed as endangered 

more properly meets the definition of 

threatened and should be reclassified to 

threatened; or (3) whether a species 

listed as threatened more properly 

meets the definition of endangered and 

should be reclassified to endangered. 

Using the best scientific and commercial 

data available, a species will be 

considered for delisting if the data 

substantiate that the species is neither 

endangered nor threatened for one or 

more of the following reasons: (1) The 

species is considered extinct; (2) the 

species is considered to be recovered; 

and/or (3) the original data available 

when the species was listed, or the 

interpretation of such data, were in 

error. Any change in Federal 

classification requires a separate 

rulemaking process. We are requesting 

submission of any new information 

(best scientific and commercial data) on 

these species since they were originally 

listed or since the species’ most recent 

status review. 

Our regulations at 50 CFR 424.21 

require that we publish a notice in the 

Federal Register announcing those 

species currently under review. This 

notice announces initiation of our active 

review of 58 species in California, 

Nevada, Arizona, and Utah. This notice 

announces initiation of our active 

review of the species in Table 1.

What Information Do We Consider in 

the Review 

In our 5-year review, we consider 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 current listing 

determination or the 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; 


PWALKER on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 56 / Wednesday, March 25, 2009 / Notices 12881 

(D) Threat status and trends (see the five 

factors under the 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. 

Public Solicitation of New Information 

We request any new information 

concerning the status of these wildlife 

and plant species. See ‘‘What 

Information Do We Consider in Our 

Review?’’ for specific criteria. If you 

submit information, 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. We specifically request 

information regarding data from any 

systematic surveys, as well as any 

studies or analysis of data that may 

show population size or trends; 

information pertaining to the biology or 

ecology of these species; information 

regarding the effects of current land 

management on population distribution 

and abundance; information on the 

current condition of habitat; and recent 

information regarding conservation 

measures that have been implemented 

to benefit the species. Additionally, we 

specifically request information 

regarding the current distribution of 

populations and evaluation of threats 

faced by the species in relation to the 

five listing factors (as defined in section 

4(a)(1) of the Act) and the species’ listed 

status as judged against the definition of 

threatened or endangered. Finally, we 

solicit recommendations pertaining to 

the development of, or potential updates 

to, recovery plans and additional 

actions or studies that would benefit 

these species in the future. 

Our practice is to make information, 

including names and home addresses of 

respondents, available for public 

review. Before including your address, 

telephone number, e-mail address, or 

other personal identifying information 

in your response, you should be aware 

that your entire submission—including 

your personal identifying information— 

may be made publicly available at any 

time. While you can ask us in your 

response to withhold your personal 

identifying information from public 

review, we cannot guarantee that we 

will be able to do so. We will not 

consider anonymous comments. To the 

extent consistent with applicable law, 

we will make all submissions from 

organizations or businesses, and from 

individuals identifying themselves as 

representatives or officials of 

organizations or businesses, available 

for public inspection in their entirety. 

Comments and materials received will 

be available for public inspection, by 

appointment, during normal business 

hours at the offices where the comments 

are submitted. 

Mail or hand-deliver information on 

the following species to the U.S. Fish 

and Wildlife Service at the

all endangered and threatened species, 

and which is available on our Internet 

site at http://endangered.fws.gov/ 

wildlife.html#Species. 

Definitions Related to This Notice 

To help you submit information about 

the species we are reviewing, we 

provide the following definitions: 

Species includes any species or 

subspecies of fish, wildlife, or plant, 

and any distinct population segment of 

any species of vertebrate, which 

interbreeds when mature; 

Endangered species means any 

species that is in danger of extinction 

throughout all or a significant portion of 

its range; and 

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. 

Experimental population means any 

population (including any offspring 

arising solely therefrom) authorized by 

the Secretary of the Interior for release 

outside the current range of 

nonexperimental populations of the 

same species, but only when, and at 

such times as, the population is wholly 

separate geographically from 

nonexperimental populations of the 

same species. Each member of a 

nonessential experimental population 

shall be treated, except when it occurs 

in an area within the National Wildlife 

Refuge System or the National Park 

System, as a species proposed to be 

listed under section 4 of the Endangered 

Species Act. 

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 

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. 

Section 4(b)(1)(A) of the Act requires 

that our determination be made on the 

basis of the best scientific and 

commercial data available. 

What Could Happen as a Result of Our 

Review 

For each species under review, if we 

find new information that indicates a 

change in classification may be 

warranted, we may propose a new rule 

that could do one of the following: (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 the species will remain 

on the List under its current status. 

Completed 5-Year Reviews 

We also take this opportunity to 

inform the public of 42 5-year reviews 

that we completed in mid to late FY 

2008 for species in California and 

Nevada. These 42 reviews can be found 

at http://www.fws.gov/cno/es/5yr.html. 

Any recommended change in listing 

status will require a separate rulemaking 

process. The table below summarizes 

the results of these reviews:
