SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Why do we conduct 5-year reviews? 

Under the Endangered Species Act of 

1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et 

seq.; Act), we maintain lists of 

endangered and threatened wildlife and 

plant speciess (referred to as the List) in 

the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 

50 CFR 17.11 (for wildlife) and 17.12 

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

requires us to review each listed 

species’ status at least once every 5 

years. For additional information about 

5-year reviews, go to http://

www.fws.gov/endangered/what-we-do/ 

recovery-overview.html, scroll down to 

‘‘Learn more about 5-Year Reviews,’’ 

and click on the ‘‘5-Year Reviews’’ link. 

What information do we consider in 

our 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 have 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 in 

relation to the five listing factors (as 

defined in section 4(a)(1) of the Act); 

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. 

Any new information will be 

considered during the 5-year review and 


ethrower on DSK3G9T082PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 14 / Monday, January 22, 2018 / Notices 3015 

will also be useful in evaluating the 

ongoing recovery programs for these 

species.
